Kuertee's HUD v0.6

[kuertee]

Hey guys, here's v0.6 of my HUD mod.
I know that there are other minimalistic HUD.
But I still find them not to my particular liking.

Here's my HUD that limits itself to as small a pixel as visually practical.
And none of them have outlines, so they become "invisible" against objects that are of the same colour.

Particulars:

• Asteroids, cargo and ships are 2x2 pixel dots.
• Targets have a 10x10 square around them.
• Leading reticle is a diamond.
• Outer gun-sight comprises of the top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right corners of a circle
• Inner gun-sight is a solid circle.
• Shield indicators are "bumps" that make-up the top, left and right sides of the outer gun-sight
• Navigation and Waypoint pointers do not overlap
• Simple delivery area, ILS and race rings

Ships
Combat targets and cargo
Asteroids

Next items:

• incoming missile heading pointers
• The colours may still be bright. I may dim the them some more. At the moment, they're not too bad in-game.

1. Back-up your custom HUD folder
2. Replace your custom HUD folder with the one contained in this ZIP file: https://sites.google.com/site/kuertee/k ... d_v0p6.zip

Hi Kuertee - thanks for sharing - I'll try it out asap

edit . . . . a few hours later

I've just done several contracts killing baddies and some free form combat - I like the HUD - it's clear and easy to see what is going on!

Hey guys,
I've updated the HUD to v0.6 and added new screenshots.
(The first version was v0.5.)

New items:

• Asteroids and cargo targets
• Delivery area, ILS and race rings
• Thin outlines to help the HUD stand out

More information and the actual link to the file is (and will always be) in the first post.

Cheers!
