Custom HUDs

[Dee]

I've been experimenting with HUD's for decent time now. I came up with this result:





So if anyone wants to share HUDs, please do so! I will be making more soon, now Ima fanatic.

[^EvilCake]

Wow. (Thats all he could say, Wow.)

[ACiDuS]

Impressive.

[csidle]

I tried to make one too once, but didn't understand the whole alpha layer thing, so ended up with a huge black HUD. I actually kept it for well over 4 months. Anyway, please upload that one, because that looks great.:eek:

[Gasgango]

Nice, I like it.

Look Dizz, alpha layers are easy.

Explaining: Alpha layer determines transperancy in-game. White colour in alpha layer is not transperant, black colour is full transperant. Variation in between is the percentage of this transperancy.

Note: Make back up files first. Place this archive in your Base/MB2 directory. Updade the old archive.

Enjoy :D

[csidle]

Thanks for that, I'll try it out some day. Won't be as good as yours though. :p

[kristal fett]

Nice, i've had a bash these before, and not worthy of posting :p

I'm going to call you up on MSN ;)

[Warad Mohar]

Fancy futuristic HUD there.

A fancy futuristic HUD that get's high praise.

A fancy futuristic HUD that I like and downloaded.

[Menion]

Very nice job Droid. :)

[Jasper_Kazai]

Droid, did you give up on making the other one pretty? :(

Sweet new HUD, though.

P.S. Last time I completely forgot to mention... Your picture replacements for the class config totally rocked. I wasn't expecting it, and it was a pleasant surprise.

EDIT: Where did you get that version of Darth Malak? I have Malak over Exar Kun, but it's not that dark and it doesn't have that chest armor.

[l3m0npwnz]

great job with it, looks nice */download*

[Furry_rodian]

Very very nice Droid.

[Gabriel]

Good job, now, go and create a better helmet view for ARCs and clones :p

[WhiteShark]

Impressive.Now release your anger.


Very nice. :)

[KaizeN]

Amazing O_O I never thoguht it was even possible to somthing like this.

[Mcbober]

Looks great! I'd love a HUD like one I have designed (just need a HUD coder to make it). It'd be great if I could get in contact with you on MSN or Xfire or something. :)

[Falkener]

Damn. It Ownz. It always seems those who can't get rapidshare to work to download miss out the most. :eek:

Yes. Rapidshare doesn't work for me.

[Agent-008]

Nice One Droid ;)

[chawin007]

nice !!!

But i cannot download it!
plz upload again! Filefront (http://www.filefront.com)

First of all, Jasper, I gave up because I lost the .psd :|
Those pictures were just random, I didnt know they even were in archive! Lots of laugh. Thanks on the wird there.

Malak, err pcgamemods. Also that was red skin of Malak. Search for latest model, it even has bolts for hilt! :D


Good job, now, go and create a better helmet view for ARCs and clones

Point to the pic. Explain a bit. I can always try my best.

screamer2003msn.com. HUDs aint that hard as ppl imagine! You just need a couple of good layer styles, understanding of alpha channels and a bit of imagination! ;)


Damn. It Ownz. It always seems those who can't get rapidshare to work to download miss out the most.

Yes. Rapidshare doesn't work for me.


nice !!!

But i cannot download it!
plz upload again! Filefront

[Falkener]

Thank you droid :D

It rocks :p

[chawin007]

thank you so much!

[Dark Insanity]

Alright. I must be a noob, but how do I get that pk3 to work =o? I replaced the one in my MB2 folder with it, and it has a problem with the menus(Won't load into the main menu) -.-. Something I missed? :confused:

Alright, I have pakscape, what in hell do I do? :eek: . Do I go through all of that crap that makes no sense to me and take out "Hud" or something similar, and put that one in? :eek:

[Jasper_Kazai]

Alright, I have pakscape, what in hell do I do? :eek: . Do I go through all of that crap that makes no sense to me and take out "Hud" or something similar, and put that one in? :eek:First, look at the one with Droid's HUD. Now, go into the original MBAssets2.pk3 and make a copy of the folders you're going to overwrite. After that's done, look at the filenames of the new files, go find where the old files are with the same name, and overwrite them.

Alright. Seems easy enough. One other thing, when I edit with pakscape, the icon of MBAssets2 changes to the one on PakScape. I'm not sure if that makes a difference in MB2, but I remember having a problem with it in base when I tried putting in some of my music for the loading screen :surprise:

[Dark Insanity]

No problem then?

[Jasper_Kazai]

No problem then?If everything seems fine in the game after your edits, then nope.

Thanks a ton. =P. Us dumbasses with pk3 need help too sometimes :)

[Infernox]

.pk3's are the easiest thing ever man.

EASY EAAAASYYYY
EASY EASY EASY

I don't recommend pakscape myself, it's too specific.

Winrar does the trick, and better.

[Rusty]

I have to agree with infernox on that one. With winrar (once you make it so PK3s are opened by winrar), you just open it up, stick it in, and close it.

[Jasper_Kazai]

PakScape is fine... It's simple and easy for beginners, since it's made just for *.pk3s and not a whole slew of things. The only thing I dislike is that you can't rename/edit stuff in it.

[Rusty]

You don't really need a program specifically built for PK3s. It isn't like they are heavily encoded - it just happens that PK3s are basically compression folders like that of .zip (although, don't expect winzip to work). Since Winrar covers a whole varity of compression methods (and has better compression compared to zip), you can also get it to work on other things as well.

Specialist program with one purpose, or multi-purpose program that allows you to easily open PK3s?

I have tried PakScape, but it seems a bit... blargh.

Also, as for renaming - you generally can't in compression folders (although I am sure there are exceptions).

[Menion]

You don't really need a program specifically built for PK3s. It isn't like they are heavily encoded - it just happens that PK3s are basically compression folders like that of .zip (although, don't expect winzip to work).
It's a renamed .zip, actually ... so winzip is all you need.

[Rusty]

I tried it with winzip, but it basically imploded on me.

[The Chosen One]

It looks great Droid, thanks much friend.

[Infernox]

Winzip works fool!

I used that until i got winrar

[Infernox]

Showcases my HUD =D
( ironically I had half the server using names such as InfernoY and InfernoZ)

I am gonna change the health bar and stuff tho, it doesnt match good.

[Jasper_Kazai]

To be quite honest, that's ****ing ugly.

[Mithral]

<3 the HUD droid :D

[Infernox]

To be quite honest, that's ****ing ugly.
thats because it was being designed to see if i could get alpha working, not as an actual hud.

[Jasper_Kazai]

thats because it was being designed to see if i could get alpha working, not as an actual hud.Oh, ok. Good. I hope you make better HUDs... Because the one above has some cool-looking effects, but I just think it's ugly. The different colors for each side method is cool.

[Dee]

Good start InfernoX :)

My freedom of customising is limited due to image size. I could actually try making clone/arc helmet-inside view in 1st person, if I knew how to apply .tga in 1st person... Requested by Heero

[The Chosen One]

Droid I tried using your Hud on the first page and its a no go. I DL'd the filefront link as well as the rapidshare link but still no go. I placed the MBassests2 in a backup folder and I continued to DL your file, then tried to play MB2 and it doesn't even load up!

Help me JEBUS!

[Dee]

Technical problem...

The instructions are:

Just overwrite the arhive! :confused:

[Riles Lek]

You are complicating, Jasper.

Here's the proceadure. Get PakScape (http://jediknight2.filefront.com/file/Pakscape;31681). Then, open MBAssets2.pk3 (Droid's version) and enter GFX, then enter hud. See those two files? Alright. Now go to your MBII folder in GameData. Open MBAssets2.pk3 (MB2's version). Open GFX, then enter hud. Now, copy mb_hudleft and mb_hudright from MBAssets2 (mb2's version) to your desktop (in case you don't like Droid's version). OK, now copy the two files from Droid's version into MB2's version, and agree with the override.



EDIT: ROFL!!!! CHOSEN REPLACED MBAssets2.pk3 IN MBII FOLDER WITH DROID'S MBAssets2.pk3 rofl!!!!! What an... I'm not gonna say it, mods will be too evil and edit/remove my post ( :( ). Chosen, you need new MBAssets2.pk3. The one you currently have (ROFLMAO) is just the hud. Thats why you can't play MB2. Ask someone here to send it to you.

Wrong, it overwrites only 2 files, but you can do it manually too...

[KaizeN]

Must admit though i was about to make the same mistake Chosen did and then I realised that there's no way it'd make sense to directly replace a 13mb PK3, with a 287kb :S

All you need to do is use winrar to take out the HUD's and replace them with the ones in the current asset pk3.

I didn't overwrite my MBassest2.pk3, it was poor reading comprehension on Riles' part that made it seem so.


I placed the MBassests2 in a backup folder

I placed it in a backup file and when Droids didn't work I simply took it out and placed the real MBassests2.pk3 back where it originally was.

Ask someone here to send it to you.That is exactly what I said before, but all in one post. The only difference is I recommended making a back-up of the whole folder instead.
And it's not funny that he replaced the MBAssets2.pk3 with Droid's unless you're a nerd. I did the same thing, too.

Droid, does this HUD have the class pictures? Because I still have them from the last HUD so I don't know.

[Infernox]

Ok guys, let me make this easy for you.

Take droids .pk3 and rename it to zzz_droidsawesomehud.pk3

Then put in MBII

And it works.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH I WIN

[The Chosen One]

Droid I got a question. How did you get the saber to look like that in the HUD? Mine still looks like the regular base/MB2 one.

[Dee]

U just modify mb_saber_fast.tga mb_saber_med.tga mb_saber_strong.tga

[Infernox]

U just modify mb_saber_fast.tga mb_saber_med.tga mb_saber_strong.tga
Why must you tell them the obvious... WHY!

look at the chosen clan ppl fighting in the screenies , it makes me laugh :p

[The Chosen One]

Modify it to what?.... :|

[Infernox]

Open the image file with an image editor, customize it, save it

Done.

[kristal fett]

I'm not overly keen on that HUD, it seems a bit childish for a HUD, make it more sinister :p

[Frost]

I think it has a futuristic design to it. And remember, the simpler it is the better.

PS: QUICK, someone post my WIP Hud :p

[ZeNph]

Anyone knows which file is crosshair? I want to try made a two colors crosshair. :p

[Bali]

You are complicating, Jasper.

Here's the proceadure. Get PakScape (http://jediknight2.filefront.com/file/Pakscape;31681).

Why do you need spec program for pk3? Windos commander can unzip it :D And it very easy :D better than download some program for it I think :)

Here you go Falkener.

Oh and here is a replacement that replaces all imps with droids.
Why? Because choice is overrated, and lets not forget! Unity through strength! Strength through Unity!

All soldiers are now the untagged battledroid.
All Elites are the blue battledroid
All Bounty Hunters are red battledroid. Except for one Yellow.
All sith are Magna guards, except for 1 dooku 3 different Mauls and Grievous.
(Magna Guard Staff included.)
Mandalorians are the same.
Deka and sbd are the same
