That looks really nice. when thats translucent it'll look perfect. I don't think you should listen to people complaining that its like TF2 (possibly the best cosmetically designed games ever made). If we made the whole hud almost identical to TF2 then the same people would stop complaining pretty quick as soon as they realised we actually have a LOAD of new players willing to play
Ok for the health the little box you had at the begining was easyest to recognize at a glance when allys are in trouble. The corners are awsome. The seperation between the squad leader and his class/rank is confusing. His could be a identical format as the others only with a Heavyer border to diferentiate.
Ok ive have redone the squad leader field, i think its good that it is bigger than the fields for the rest of the squad because so everyone can see that he is the importand one in the squad. with the health bar, someone mentioned that he cant understand what the old one means. I think we need maybee something else. For now i let it like it is.
Very good, now adjust the font size for the squad names to the longest one available (whiskey I think), adjust the tickets so they can house four-digit numbers (emp_escort, emp_glycencity), make sure you can have three-digit numbers for the points and make sure you can put "=[BSID]= 1LT Beerdude26" in the name spots without it overflowing (my ingame name is pretty close to the name limit, hence I suggested it :p Add like 5 more letters just to be sure though) Same thing with Commander name. Apart from that it looks pretty damn usable ingame
Ok heres max text and biggest font size that you can use with that. For the normal squad members theres no room for extra digits atm. I dont think thats a big problem but tell me your position. The font for the Squad name needs to be a thiner one. It looks ugly at game size. I hope beerdude was right with his name and its not a trick to placard his name all over the place Does someone knows the name of the fonts empires use?
Beerdude's got one hell of an extended family. I'm liking what I'm seeing, through I'd like to see how it'd look for NF, and maybe an option to have the text command box thing in a short, long rectangle across the top of the screen.
Like that? Northern Faction? The whole empires look is brenodi so i guess no one knows how a nf gui would look like
It'd probably have been made in paint with the only colors being black (#000000) and red (#FF0000) because those are the only colours the NF HUD can display lol
I personally think that a Command Vehicle Icon to the left of the commanders name would be better as it would save space. I guess it's not quite so obvious to newbies, but the word "COMMANDER" is taking a massive amount of screen up there. Given that the space would still say NO COMMANDER when there is none, and that they get orders from the person who's name is top left, i'm sure all people would get the hang of it. Perhaps (complex solution) the word commander only appears when you click the "extend" button hotkey. does that make sense?
nice and now tell me how a command vehicle icon should look like (consider that we need one that fits nf and be) Oh i need to redo the vec counter icon, no lt
I'm sure there's an icon around here somewhere... the league had one right? My other thought, though again this is probably needless, is perhaps where the current tank icon is, you could have the tank icon and the number at the top of that box, and the plane icon and the number at the bottom of that same box. that frees up the current box with the aircraft number in to put resources (number top and rate bottom)
I dont think on normal games a team got more than 99999 resources. The 2 red dots are place holders for the icons.
Wow...that colour scheme is much better, and I feel you've almost got it spot on...except for the top still looking a little cluttered - it takes me about 2-5 seconds to assimilate that data and separate tickets, counters and res counters. It takes me about 1 second to see that i'm in alpha squad however.
Make the squad name stars, Lil Faction symbles IE Be or NF. Stars are to politicly symbalic to be used so casualy.
Do I really really need to have my squads ranks displayed on my screen all the time? Old health display (% of life) was far more easier to read than trying to figure out when the red thing starts and the blue one ends. Orders aka-health border is expendable. But generally, the work done so far looks very cool
I don't mean to be a pain, but I still think the number counters are too close to one another. It's possible the arrangement looked better before - except the squad name is in a better place now. Sorry, this isn't being that helpful I know...
