Variations on a Theme - Buschs' No-Frills HUD

Busch · Post by **Busch** » Mon Dec 17, 2012 8:00 pm

This is what I've managed to put together. There's a lot of sterling artwork here, from a number of our truely talented folk.
Nigel, Marv, Max, ECCO, Viper; and others I've momentarily forgotten. If I've missed accrediting the appropriate artiste, it's a mere mental over-sight, not negligence. If you recognize your work, and I've missed crediting your efforts, please rest easy with the knowledge of the pleasure I derive from being able to fly your work. Kudos to all!

Should there be any interest, I'll make it available to SeeJays' mondo site!

Hope y'all like it!

* Works for EM Deuce.*

I'll leave your old stuff in the EM section of my new site.

I'll add your new cool stuff to the EM2 section.

I like less heavy huds, the cluttered look of most huds is very irritating and I would love to have to one.

And if you could make the top part of the hud with the heading and orders, commands, deploy, etc lighter to then that would be great.

Since I've not the skills nor the talent to craft anything useable, I must abide the day someone else may lighten the b2compass file(s). I'm rather content with what I've managed to accomplish, fumble-fingers and all. I'll use pretty much anything that helps broaden, or make more clear, my field of view in-game; preferring translucentcy over opacity.

You might be able to lighten the upper part of the HUD by taking the shadow part from the Customizing Kit and adjusting it with Photoshop or GIMP.

Busch's excellent HUD is now available on my site's EM2 mod section.
(http://evochron2.junholt.se/)

Also available there is my own Compass with marks for headings to dock straight in!

Great work Busch!

Enjoy!

With permission , do you think you could recolor the Silicum hud to red? Or tell me how to recolor better , my method would take me 4 years . XD

I don't know who the artist/craftsman was, but they did post a HUD variation (here in the mod slice) that contained a lot of red-colored elements. That's where I lite-fingered what I'm usin'...

Dude.......you don't need my permission, but thanks for the askin'

No , i meant permission for brenus to recolor his. But i guess you didn't do it so i might have to take my time
