Hud Menu Upgrade (EL)

Post by Leatherpoker »

Hi everyone,

I've finished working on a hud menu upgrade for EL. It changes the nav, cargo, and trade menus to match the EL main menu style. It also adds custom buttons (optional). The resolution is higher than the original menus also. Feel free to try it out:

Here are some before/after shots too:

Feedback is welcome to improve future versions!

Thanks,

Very Nice...., I think the higher resolution might impact frame rates though!......;)

Nice work! The performance impact for a higher resolution should be minimal on most systems.

:) Hi - I'm a newbie, though a fan of free form space sims from the original Elite days on a BBC B!

How do I install the new images - just track the originals down in the programme folder and replace them?

in the case of a new hud, place all the files into a folder named hud in the main game directory.
You can find more details in the customization kit - http://www.starwraith.com/evochronlegendscustomkit.zip

Welcome to the game and the forum :)

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply - I've downloaded and printed the readme - more to study - but I love the parts I seen so far!
