Naaaaice !!! :)

Seems nice and clear. Make it work for 1024*768 and I’ll definitely use it :)

Ok, tried the HUD, really good.
There are only 2 small changes i’d make: changing spy disguise information to somewhere more visible (may be just above/on the left to the health? ) and increaing a bit the height of the status bar at the bottom when tabbing

makes my game crash xD

Yea, it does that when you don’t follow the setup instructions. Every single one with this problem so far had overlooked the fact that you need an additional font to use this HUD, odds are you did too.

It says so in this thread, on the homepage and in the pdf. I’ll see if I can find some other place to put this info where it can’t be missed.

I have played with this hud a lot yesterday with (beta) and imho is hard too see when u are low or buffed so i suggest make a pulse on it or just put it a little bit higher

I’ve made 4 new scoreboards for resolutions of height 1080, 1024, 900 and 720. V2 now comes with scoreboards for all 16:10 and 16:9 resolutions in the options menu.

Supported resolution heights: 480, 600, 720, 768, 800, 900, 960, 1024, 1050, 1080, 1200.

1920×880 with 800 scoreboard appears to work fine too :P http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/560938564912248271/C0B72922D85BA4A968787493DF63EE750A7776CD/

Hopefully this will keep people from overooking that this HUD won’t function without the AG font. http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/4509/nomorecrashes.png

Why won’t you jsut include it with the hud? Seems pointless to make people get it themselves.

Health differs from most other entities in that it is one of the few things that you don’t have complete control over. If you fire a shot you don’t need to be notified about it, that is not the case with health. Therefore I want as litte clutter on the left side as possible, the spy disguise stays on the right side.

The scoreboard bottom bar follows the design pattern of 12 units surrounding small text vertically. It’s a question of symetry, I won’t change that.

You want to be notified when the health changes, if it blinks it will be harder to tell if the animation is due to the blinking or an actual change. Low health position is a big part what makes this HUD what it is, I’d rather make them bigger, but I like them the way they are.

Moreover, another thing I noticed just now, is that the spawn time imo should be placed top as it is in most HUD instead of being in middle-bottom as it is now. Many times I couldn’t see it.

It’s not really critical information, you look at it maybe once right after you die and then once more before you spawn. I like to keep things out of the way, so it stays where it is.
