are you dense
most artists in 343i are from bungie and worked on Halo Reach, which is why they are allowed to re-use assets from HR.
if I had to guess I'd say you have no knowledge at all in how the gaming industry works and just make up your own assumptions.
the biggest irony is that you say 343i has amateur artists yet you not only use their assets but make them look even worse while praising yourself.

and "your" new HUD is too bright/opaque/ugly. you may as well scrap it.

(1) Then why are you coping H4?

(2) We know

(3) That doesn't even make sense, the HUD was developed for Halo 4, and if you mean that you're making the HUD for Halo 1, that's your problem right there. Colors aren't even that different anyway, for the stronger blues I would use R60 G160 B255, and for the lighter blues, I love to use R136 G196 B255.

(4) Well, you DID title the thread name "Halo 4 HUD Replica"

(5) okay? Aspect ratio would still be the same...

(6) You 'could' edit the weapon animations to add a node and a plane so you could add a HUD element via functions, and animate that plane (say, firing) so when you fire, the plane reacts as well...

(7) Please please don't tell me that's going to be the final color and opacity level of that HUD. If it is, I'm gonna have to make my own H4 HUD so people won't use yours in their already terrible maps.

(8) Why would you make the visor and helmet parts a part of the motion sensor? You'd have to have a pretty large and messed up bitmap just to get it to display over the whole screen! Use the visor as pieces, top and bottom, and make then crosshairs in the weapon_hud_interface, move the top one to the top, and the bottom one to... You guessed it. Look how I did it in my H3 V2 HUD release. The helmet pieces can be split into smaller bitmaps and placed along the screen. YOU CAN EVEN MAKE THEN DISAPPEAR WHEN ZOOMING. (Because they're technically a crosshair.




Also, do you even understand what Waffles and Master Noob are trying to tell you? He's talking about aspect ratio, not screen resolutions. Two intertwined, but different concepts that you just don't seem to understand. 1280 x 720 stretches perfectly into 1920 x 1080, and there is no stretching involved, except for loss of quality during upscale (actually, quality is technically the same, you just haven't increased it while using more space.)

Also, what Master Noob said, you really have a lot to work on. That HUD is way too visible and intrusive.

@ masternoob oh sure it wasn't 343i fault that Halo fans didn't like Halo 4. IT was Halo fans. Right? Alot of people here on the forums love to point fingers at everyone one else stick a stick in and start Stiring and don't do a damn thing for them self's. For you to sit there and say oh it's ugly you should scrap it. Not give any advice as to how to make it better, & well just be straight up rude about every bit of work I post in any forum is downright...

I made it for my map anyway. I started the thread to show people who are interested not for people who are not interested!

I post pictures to show progress and I was honestly looking for Critics but for someone with Noob in there name to call me dense. and say I don't know anything about the video game industry. Well sir sadly you don't know who I am! & I was never praising myself.
How do you ever come up with that?

343i employees. most of the people who made the game Halo 4 where all amateur. graphic designers. mostly fresh out of school. and its a known fact. some of whom had never even worked on a team.

Compare 20 or 21 year old's graphic design work to someone in there 30's or 40's who have been doing graphic design work for the past 20 years & you have a big difference.

People who made halo 3 & reach had a lot ALOT more experience.

How about I just think I like My own art because it's mine and I made my own stuff with The hek and you can like it or not, because I don't care.

& I just think My Hud is a masterpiece. when yours is like 10 years old.

I am a simple person at home hobbyist designer working on a little project & I come here
to show a picture & I'm called out like this is some cort of law where everything I say can and will be used against. me well it's not.

I will say this why don't you do better? why is everyone begging me to finnish it? and why does everyone that beta's it say I feel its the best HUD IN THE GAME?

It's a couple bitmaps I made in Photoshop Not really A big deal. It's not like I'm forcing people to use it.

I know that A HUD Modeled in would be far better. but this is not half bad in my opinion.
It's juts a project of mine that I am trying to make better and will probably get better with time.

and Jessie.
I never said the helmet was part of the motion sensor.
The Helmet is part of the HUD Unit interface bitmap.

I'm not putting the helmet parts as crosshairs. I have other plans for crosshairs.
I Have reviewed your H3 V2 HUD release long ago.

The Opacity level of the last picture I posted WAS JUST A PICTURE!
Do you really think I'm going to post the HUD ONLINE TO BE STOLEN LEEKED BEFORE IM DONE?
Naaa! I don't think so.

I don't like for stuff to be released unfinished.

(1) I'm not copying Halo 4 I'm taking the original HUD's Concept in to a different game.

(2) Apparently ZOBI3KING you and some other people all have different views of how it should look like. I would be very sad to think that my HUD is the best in the game. after all where does inspiration come from if not others? If you can do better please by all means.

(3) The colors are completely different.

(4) Yes I did also state in the OP that this HUD is for Halo 1

(5) Don't care.

(6)You 'could' do things a lot of different ways. But putting the Master Chief HUD or even the helmet inside a weapon animation is not proper. & would requite an extremely painful amount of work. on every single weapon anyone planed on using with the HUD
who wants that?

Why not just attach it to the bipeds fp animations? as I think that would be even more feasible. but yet there are still issues there. of witch I have already explained.

Then It would be a weapon animation not a HUD. But thanks. if it's so easy why has No one done it? except Metroid online map team of witch the biped has no animations.
You cant just add a node and plane

(8) & this is why.



I don't really see how you totally misunderstand what I am saying I posted a picture saying I liked a specific. setting. and everyone freaks out.
However I'm glad your concerned.

Here is the current opacity level. on the helm part.
Honestly. it's not even an opacity level its just a bitmap with alpha. nothing special.

Can you live with that?
Edited by jackrabbit on Dec 22, 2013 at 08:07 AM

This is garbage. As a graphic designer I can tell that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Just what I hear man.
http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=42867
That is all.

No part of that article mentions graphic design.

Looks good. Keep up the good work.

Anyone know what this does or how it works? It's under Auxilary overlays in unit_hud_interface.
Edited by jackrabbit on Dec 22, 2013 at 11:56 AM

I know it won't make "your" HUD any better. click it and find out for yourself.

Edited by master noob on Dec 22, 2013 at 01:52 PM

Apparently, I'm one of the very few (like 3) that does. The effectors by themselves do nothing. You need to as a bitmap under te static overlays, then work out their function through the primary, secondary, and tertiary bitmaps, THEN use the effectors.




It irritates me that you show this off and say it's good, then as soon as we say it's not good, you say that wasn't your real one :\

Clearly they are very different, this one here and that new one you posted.

And to answer your question (at the risk of sounding cocky), I in fact, CAN do better.
Edited by Jesse on Dec 22, 2013 at 02:43 PM

To clarify, I was talking more about the transparency of the hud, but you did name the thread "Official Halo 4 HUD replica WIP Thread." so please, forgive me for wondering why a replica doesn't match the original. Also if the guys at 343i were so called amateurs, then explain to me why they are getting payed to work on a multi-million dollar franchise and your not.

cuz he is to awesome4that

Someone knows if this HUD was released to the public? Or at least he even finished his work?
Edited by Kinnet on Nov 30, 2015 at 09:38 PM

probably not. Though its just as easy to rip the actual HUD elements and import

I thought the Halo 4 hud elements were modeled in? Anyway, if you can get me the bitmaps for the HUD I'll see if I can do anything for you.

1.

tool windows-font

2.Select from installed fonts in the window that appears, make sure to set the size too (this will affect quality iirc)

3.This should create a 'newfont.font' in the tags directory. You can rename it if you want.
