Hello, and many thanks for sharing your HUD

It is very clean with this nice tech design, and all seems to be more readable on it... Great job

I'll try it ASAP !

And also, thanks for the "French Pack" you have released.
Your english is surely better than mine, and for me it's really cool to have all descriptions (places, stuff, etc...) in french in the game. So thanks for that too

Updated HUD looks NIIIIIICE, the first one was good but this one is excellent, nice work Max.

Thank you for the more detailed compass as well.

Love the HUD, have some noob questions though.

-do I need to install the expansion pack to install mods?
-I open the zip and just move, or paste, the file into the game file and the program will know what to do with it?

Thanks for your help

Create a folder named "HUD" and put it in the program folder. Make sure the mod does not double that as you would not want a "HUD" folder in another "HUD" folder.

If you unzip the mod file wich is actually just a HUD folder into the main folder (Drive Letter:\\sw3dg\\EvochronMercenary) the HUD mod is installed.

I have a request: the target mark that appears on the enemies (and ships in general) completely covers the ship. Can you make it bigger? Or at least let me see the enemy ship

Visibility is the main problem with this hud

Open up that file with windows"paint" and you can mod it the way you like. I did this with a few items until I got what looked good to me.

It's a really nice mod.

However, I could not see my pitch bars. They we're just fat lines.
Could this be because I have a chattext mod and a ship coord/cargo info mod as well?

Avenger · Post by **Avenger** » Wed Apr 27, 2011 8:32 pm

Must be, I see the pitch lines just fine.

Hi, i do this mod for my screen resolution (1440*900 or 1920*1024). I don't know how it render on another screen. For me, you can see the result on screencap...

If you know some problems post a screencap, perhaps i can see what wrong...

- Rush - I understand your problem and i try to resolve it, but later... for the moment you can press the "h" key, perhaps you can have a better view of the enemy ship.

If someone is interested, i've do an another mod based on this. No major modification, just a minor change on gunsight.

That looks pretty nice. I think I must give it a test drive!

Good work!

Mop Head · Post by **Mop Head** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 2:24 am

Love the new HUD, especially after the recent update. Very clean, very cool. You should work on some new cockpits.

That second version kind'a has a "Vonari" feel to it.

Maarschalk · Post by **Maarschalk** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 4:49 am

LOL..Marv. You been hanging out to much in Vonari territory and the war zones, everything start to look like Vonari style, either that or you have been eating to much Gorf Burgers....

:P:P:P:P:P

But i have make some minor "upgrade" to the HUD. I do it in english and i have added some details for reduce the "flat and simple appearance" of the top and the 3 bottom screens.

sry for my bad english...
When i doubt of a signification of a word or sentence i insert it like this "word"... Perhaps i can insert all the post between a " "

Don't apologise for your English! It's far far better than my French (or German or Italian or . . . . )

- hence the mention of Franglais

Thank you very much for doing an improved English version - I'll try it out later today.

Rush · Post by **Rush** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 9:12 am

Very good Maximilien, now I see more

I've elected this HUD as my favourite. Very good for fighting!

Excellent - it is clear and uncluttered but still has a cool technical look and feel - thanks!

:D

Looks great Maximilien, very tech

MiaZ · Post by **MiaZ** » Fri May 27, 2011 3:58 pm

These look great.
I wonder is there still a download link for the earlier ones too?

Very nice work, Max. I am using the b2compass/shadow png's for a part of my own HUD. Very Cool design!

Thanks for the excellent effort.
