In a sort of a bad way.
Believe it or not, you guys are excellent motivators.

No color yet.
Still waiting for master noob.

the shield bar and health bar would look better separate, but that's more opinion.
in the nice little L shape you made for the grenades and ammo, you can have the ammo number in the main box shape and in the lower hanging part you could insert the maximum number of rounds in a clip, and the whole top part could be moved up a little more.

Although I do like the new 'overall' design of the HUD/Shield here is what I think it should be more like (using your current design)



-Removed those bars
-Shrank the amount of space the health has. It just looks way to big compared to shield

people were complaining cause there was no bars in the first place.

Not my personal taste. If there is going to be bars I'd suggest adding more then. Like split the bar into 8 parts

Thank you dennis for getting rid of the trolls.I was also thinking 6 to 8 bars for the health bar.

I say 7.

I say 1000

That's too hard to draw

Yep, my lucky number.
Because my favourite number is a tad mush, 21.

7 is a nice number.

I have a random idea, you know how you have the Dumb_AI logo in the corner... Well you could have the circle face as the radar... Just for kicks. :D

It's a good simple little HUD. Perhaps experiment with rounding off some of the edgs to make it blend more softly.
It looks a bit sharp at the moment, in my expert opinion.

I would think that rounding them off would kind of remove the whole design ideal...

Maybe you should have like 117 segments? Heh.

For the amount of segments, it would look better to use a nice round number like, 8, 16, 32, etc. I think it looks fine, however, without any separated segments, and just one solid bar that actually does split but doesn't have those stupid lines. As for as an ammo counter, being able to glance and see how many bullets you have is helpful. Even just a segmented "progress bar" without visible splits like the CMT had could be useful.

It's hard to explain but the health works just like the health bar in Dead Space.

Not that way!
To be brief, the health decreases like the health bar does in Dead Space.
The segments are only for looks. It has no effect on how it decreases.
The health bar's alpha is one smooth gradient.

Update:Grenade icons

I gusta that

Not trying to be picky and all, but I think it would look better if you curved the lines on the frag grenade. Looks a little simplistic.
Just a little aesthetic thing.

Thank you...?

I would go with what spartan314 said.

it would be the h1 shield bar shape, just sayin

What are you trying to say?

O_o


"It would be" implies that it will be the shape of the H1 shield bar,some time in the future.

But it already is!

Dumb AI, got xfire?

almost all my team members do everyone but vergil does dumb ai's xfire is simonthekiller1024

Yes.

simonthekiller1024

and if you wanna add me its spark364

Oo, oo!

And mine is Hobbet360 =)

Mine is theelitepro1337

^ umm yes we are I have said before i'm still looking for someone good at modeling bipeds and someone good with particles.

Good colors?
If you think you have a better combination, tell me!

I still think the health part of the health/shield is too big

It's about importance.

I think that health is usually considered less important than shields (they are equally important).

can you integrate your grenade icons into a single tab?

I think he's just showing them both off and they will be



Exactly my point. Health is less important and shouldn't appear equal or larger than the sheild

Yeah...I'm not gonna argue that one out.

This forum has enough already.
