"In The Grim Darkness Of The Far Future There Is Only War" Warhammer 40k is set in a Universe where no one is safe from the horrors of space. The Imperium of man struggles to hold its borders or protect its citizens from the the alien, the mutant and the heretic. The human race is no longer a progressive race, most of the weapons and vehicles they use date back to the "Dark age of Technology" long before the days of the Emperor. Technological advance is at standstill and much has been forgotten, never to be recovered. In this dark millenia danger lurks behind every corner, and it is the holy duty of the Inquisition to guard and purge the threats within and without the Imperium. Take the role of Malachias Kane, Young Inquisitor under the command of Lord Inquisitor Dante, warring agains the notorious Chaos sorcerer Bathomeos. It is your mission to rendevouz with allies, and deliver the final piece to the plan to bring the Chaos scum under the Emperor's hammer.
HUD Concept.
Some pointers we have discussed about concerning the hud:
-Only ammo will be shown with numbers
-HP and shield (yes Kane has a refractor field device) will be shown with a vital signs monitor and shield layer screens. Cogitators may be powerfull, but to calculate how much hits a man can stand is slightly too much.. :D
translucent?
Everything is great. Most amazing are models but I would add something more futuristic, some steel and pipes to hud. I know it would be next work to do but I think this hud is too simple to this type of fps and to these amazing models. I hope you know what I mean. There's no offense, it still can be but looking at rest of screenshots telling me that you can do something better. I hope you know what I mean because my english probably isn't very good. :)
I always hated physical stuff like that in HUDs. If it doesn't look like a heads up display, it just ends up looking cheesy to me.
Add dual Brackets around the Crosshair:
Inner Left Bracket: Shows Health, Blinks when Health gets low
Inner Right Bracket: Same is Inner Left, but showing Primary Ammunition instead
Outer Left Bracket: Shows Shields
Outer Right Bracket: Shows Secondary Ammunition
Or perhaps add in the option to customize it...?
why is the crosshair shaped like the sign of the inquisition?!
i swear i didnt do anything!
Uh-oh, here we go...HUD time...
I'm with " Gregar ". At the least, translucency would help calm we of the " anti-hud " clan. One of my favorites was the Doom 3 design ( Just a bit thinner though ). Ui19.gamefaqs.com
Well the hud is actually a part of your armor..
But I suppose we could research for a function to make it more translucent or to not have it at all, though it would actually be more "realistic" in this case to have a HUD. (It's a "sci-fi" mod after all)
Your right of course. I'm not opposed to huds in general - it's just tough to find a balance between aesthetics and function.
I agree!
I like it.
