Anyone working on an HUD mod?

enfestid · 12-11-2003, 10:50 PM

Just curious, but is anyone working on a strictly-HUD mod? I find the current HUD ugly due to the buttons and the way it stretches at high resolutions... Just looks extremely rushed and shabby, in my opinion.

If anyone knows of any, please let me know

I like more simplistic designs -- like the beta had, or like what Ground Control 2 will have (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/....html?page=160) -- if there's any like that.

Thanks, either way

(Yes, I have looked for HUD mods, I just haven't found any so I decided to ask here... Sorry if it's a stupid question.)

Guess not... Thanks anyways

How about the beta HUD? Anyone have it in Zero Hour or Generals? Thanks

I don't think anyone is making a mod which just changes the HUD, most mods change them but do other stuff as well. If you want a different HUD, you can change it from the files in the normal Generals Textures.big file

I've tried that, but I'm really no good at it... Do you know if anyone's at least included the beta version HUD in a mod? Thanks

Blitz 2 has chanegd the HUD. C&C Kings has chaneged the HUD. Can't think of any others off the top of my head.

OK, thanks

So it's correct to say no mod has added the beta HUD? Probably too hard to figure out how to get back in, with all the changes they made from the beta to the final version.

Hey, I'm new around here, bla bla,
enough with that.

Well although I don't consider myself a modder, I did try and recreate the beta Hud. I'm a little experienced with 3ds max, and therefore I tried to make it look as good as possible. I don't know how to attach a image to this reply (yet), so unfortunately I cannot show my creation. But as soon as I'm able to post an image I will show u guys my "beta Hud".

Btw,

why does it say spammer above my avatar??

Making a HUD with 3ds Max is like trying to eat soup with a fork. Use Photoshop or Paintshop Pro instead.

I guess you mean use PS or PSP for the HUD and use your hands for the soup? Or the other way around?
