Designing Dynamic Helmet HUD image - Call of Pripyat Reloaded mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
Reloaded is a conservative, hardcore-oriented effort to fix and improve every aspect of the original game with a massive amount of compiled and personal overhauls, bug fixes and restored content.
You asked him, my dear Bioshocker, here he his !
I wasn't totally satisfied by the the textures for the Dynamic Hud that i've made before, so i started a new version from scratch.
You can see here the helmet has its maximum rate of degradation, you don't have radioactive and chimical protection anymore and your field of view is almost blocked. It is probably time to run as fast as you can.
This Hud is for the common neutral stalker gas masks, note that it is not a final version (I will probably add more details and rework edge brightness later) so your suggestions will be pretty useful.

Hm, this is nice. Too many blood, though. Just a couple of blood drops would be nice, don't you think so?
Agree. On the PSD file the blood drop seems much less pronounced, i will make this more transparent.
Yeah it does look a bit like someone whacked him with a painbrush.
looks good, maybe the blood it a bit to bright in its redish colour (less saturation maybe?). are the flaws and holes come after each other, depending on the damage?
Yep, there are There are six degrees of damage with their own texture variant.
How many levels of degradation have you given it. Smurth recently did similar work and got a big improvement by drastically increasing the damage sleaves\sheets.
Yeah, Smurth did an impressive job. Actually his mod have twelve degrees of degradation for every helmet with metro 2033 breathing sounds. I will contact him to work together when i have the time. (My exams are close so i would be inactive for a while)
Good design though I agree about the blood.
So version 0.9 means you're close to finishing a whole mod project?
It is almost that. i was focused essentially on bugfix and optimizations for the previous versions. Now, the mod is stable and (I hope) bug-free. It means i can focus on adding optionnal features and the 1.0 will probably just be a start.
COWADOODY... why...
if this is supposed to be the basic gas mask, then the view should be a bit different, what i mean is the gas mask has two seperate lenses so the view should be seperated in the middle and rounded a bit like a pair of goggles Stalker.wikia.com
Since the image in the brain is combined by what both eyes see, the divisor between them will actually be seen on both sides of the screen, not in the center — so I think if you try to be more realistic, you shouldn't draw it at all :)
(but then the bullet-holes, scratches and blood sputters should be very blurry too, so this is more of an artistic decision)
I think a blind-spot right in the middle will be very annoying and unrealistic, though.
The edges of the view should still be rounded a bit more
Hi Clear_strelok, it is great to see you continue working on the mod? Do you check the forums here on moddb — it seems there are several questions unanswered, perhaps you could help? (I got mine answered by trying, but there are guys asking about a sniper scope etc)
I really look forward to what you will improve next, so far I am amazed by this mod!
Hu hu, i admit it, sometimes i forget to watch the forum. Actually I just saw your topic and i will still answer your question, sorry to for being epicly late. About the sniper scope problem, the reason i didn't answer is that it was a bug with the 0.7 version that i solved in the latest release, so don't worry about that.
Great, thanks!
