I posted on GBX and Halomods, and its about time i posted here. Its a WIP and i believe its going very well. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/CabooseJr/snapshot20070427231100.jpg
I really would love to get this baby ingame.

i dunno, was i was thinking of was having the sniper, compass, you know the 2 on the sides, but have them horizontal.

i like it, but i think you need 2 put a motion tracker on there.

I dont plan on having the radar in because any other radar is fine.

But the radar needs to be pushed in D:

April 28th, 2007, 08:52 AM
but i dont think, if i get the radar in, it will work very well, i know its pushed in. but ill try my ass off.

it would be nice if somebody could tell me where to get a good radar.

It looks allright I guess, but I can't stand the Halo 3 HUD so far. I hope it's just a placeholder.

It isn't a placeholder, why would they make a fully working HUD just to use as a placeholder?

I like this HUD, it looks a lot like the Halo 3 one. You might have problems putting in the third grenade icon. Keep up the good work.

should be bulging the other direction...

He has a point, considering that that is the top of the face plate.

CabooseJr
April 28th, 2007, 04:08 PM
what do you mean buldging the other direction.

Roostervier
April 28th, 2007, 04:16 PM
It should be going downward, not upward. Think about it, if the face plate was mostly round, then the middle would be straight-ish, the bottom would "bulge" up, and the top would "bulge" down.

CabooseJr
April 28th, 2007, 04:22 PM
it is being going downward. and i did compare it to the vid, its perfect

The motion tracker's going to give you trouble. The motion tracker is coded to be circular, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

BobtheGreatII
April 28th, 2007, 11:09 PM
LoL, it might just have to look pretty. Oh also, are you going to add the awsome red flashing thing that it does once the shield is down. Like it looks like the red light spreads through the top of visor in the zanzibar leaked video. Pic:

curve it the other way and make it flash red like it does (it flashes red like that in the ammo and health) then it would kick balls

halo 3 assault rifle is stronger, more accurate, a little bit more range, and less rounds in a magazine. Hey, good job so far! Hope you finish it and maybe release it?? Aaaa, i c. The assault rifle has 32 rounds on the ammo counter on itself, but on the HUD, the assault rifl ehas 36 rounds. Well, at least you can try to fit a battle rifle in.

Edward Elrich

You should have it change its shade of blue depending on how light it is in the area you're in. (it was almost impossible to see it in that last pic, it took me about ten seconds to realize it was in there. Ingame, I'd be dead by then.)

CabooseJr

Edward Elrich
April 30th, 2007, 08:02 PM
Is that possible?

You could change the transparency, but I get the feeling that wouldn't always help...

Also, Ed - try playing through SP a little with the HUD off. You'd be dead anyway for relying on it too much, if you really want to do well you need to be able to play without really paying much attention to it. Your target's in front of you, not inside your helmet.

I've played Halo 2 with the blind skull. And yes, I did live for more than a minute at a time with it. Besides, no HUD doesn't get rid of the beeping when you have no shields (and the annoying thumping you get with one health bar left)

"did u even read thread? he made it HIMSELF -rep"

Pred1ator nice, you obviously can't read my irony bit at the bottom either.

You just made my day, thank you for proving my point. Walked right into that one didn't you. I was waiting for someone to - rep me and say that.


Incase you don't remember, people were saying that to me about my spiker, and all my other stuff yesterday."ZOMG QUIT USING HALO 3 IDEAS." Get with the program, it's a thing called sarcasm.

I made my shit myself too, with much more effort than it takes to make a simple bunch of HUD elements. So why am I getting bashed for remaking halo 3 stuff and this guy isn't?

see, everyones biased towards CMT.

i still dont see why you are taking everything say seriously, whining cause u got a -rep..

you are in Custom Map Team not H3 Map team....we dont expect to see h3 stuff, we want custom

DaneO'Roo
May 13th, 2007, 07:45 PM
its called custom because we make it ourselves...if we made totally custom everything, no one would like it because all the different designed features would clash. I allready think the CMT biped is out of place at times.

Your just a hypocritical fool, saying I don't read threads and yet you couldn't read yesterday in my thread that my spiker didn't have a mutlipurpose on it.

and i'm not whining about minus rep, I'm the last person to give a fuck.

i am ending this convo, take it to the PM before this gets locked

DaneO'Roo
May 13th, 2007, 07:56 PM
your a retard. It's custom because we:

modelled it, from a bunch of sketchy shittily angled pictures

unwrapped it


skinned

got ingame

made look good

etc etc


and that takes far more effort than you've applied into anything, including your sigs.

I've got a good mind to think, if it were you in my shoes, you'd be defending my claim. Again, your biased towards me, ever since I knocked a skin of yours once.

WE aren't saying we designed the shit. It's quite plain obvious its from halo 3. We're saying "look what we're making for YOU GUYS TO USE" WE wanted halo 3 stuff now, so we made it. Is that a problem for you?

Con
May 13th, 2007, 07:58 PM

^indeed

I've had this conversation with too many people before. Stop bitching at CMT. The whole idea of CMT to have fun, to get skilled people together to produce fun maps. Guess what? They're a hit with a lot of people, and that's what matters to us. We're a team that gets stuff done, and we're known because of that. People like Dano and myself work for CMT to have fun making things for the community. It's not about what we make, it's about the end experience. This is the same reason that made Coldsnap and Hugeass such a hit. Do you really give a shit that only so-called noobs play it? Tiamat didn't put all that effort into his maps so you guys could bitch about them. He made is so people could have fun playing it, and they are. CMT is going to continue putting effort into its maps to have fun.

I hate to be a party pooper, but I'll let you know of a few things that are not possible with HUD interfaced in CE that the H3 HUD does, so you don't waste time and effort:


Stored weapon icon
Scoreboard in the bottom right corner
Number of grenades of the type you're not using
The awesome screen refresh on spawn


Unless you already knew this.

H1 has a stored weapon icon, and it's possible to show the number of the grenades you're not using. CMT did it for their HUD, if I remember correctly.

I did the SPv1 HUD. I know what I'm talking about. Neither thing is possible.

Halo 1's HUD interface system works as such:


First, you have the Unit HUD Interface (unhi), which is defined in any unit tag (bipd, vehi). If one is referenced, it is rendered, and a unhi contains any sort of static background (like if you wanted a border to appear on the HUD), outlines and meters for health and shields, the background for the motion sensor, auxiliary outlines and meters (actually, the only auxiliary function is the unit's integrated light), and team icon backgrounds.

If the unit is holding a weapon, then it renders the weapon's Weapon HUD Interface (wphi). That tag contains definitions for backgrounds, meters, and HUD numbers that can be tied to all sorts of things (magazine ammo, reserve ammo, heat, age, charge), reticle definition, then zoom and nightvision properties (mask, screen convolution, tint), and then finally there's a block where you can define the pickup icon and strings.

Finally, if the unit has grenades in their inventory, the game checks to see what grenade is ready, then checks the Game Globals (matg) tag to get what the proper Grenade HUD Interface (grhi) tag is. Grhi tags contain the background, foreground, icon (overlay), and number.


Halo 2's HUD interface is very much different from what I hear; instead, each unit has a HUD interface tag that contains all of the bitmap and coloration info, and I think weapon icons and meters are defined in the weapon tag. This is why Halo 2 is able to display reserve weapon icons, and reserve grenade counts, and Halo 1 can't.

Spawn effect, spawn a plane with a chicago shader on it that animates.

It's helluva sloppy, but it would work.

Which is why it would need to be in Thirdperson, one-sided plane so other players wouldn't see it.

Where is the FP camera situated? As a spawn effect, you could create a particle that does that; a very tiny one that goes right in front of the camera.

Con
May 17th, 2007, 10:51 PM
How would you ensure that it stays in the same spot relative to the player? I'm sure those pro players out there will be headed off for the sniper in the amount of time it takes to play the animation. It would look bad in FP if it doesn't follow you.

its the exact same HUD but higher res and is at widescreen, i think i'll rework the HUD and make it fit up but dont think i will have visor line shape.
