13 August 2006 19:29 (UK time) This is a little image i whipped up for anyone who would like to use it. I produced a more detailed version of it for my mod. Basically what it is, is an image you can use for the player character's face sprite, that outlines the health bar, the HP Number, and the little gray face background space. The box all the way to the left is the little background space, the long bar on the bottom outlines the health bar, and the box above it outlines the HP Number. (And yes, all that extra pink is necessary, otherwise the picture will not outline everything correctly) This base can come in handy if you want to make a realistic health hud, rather than just a default face sprite. I doubt it will work on Meteor 2, yo can try and find out if you wish, its up to you. *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime.

This image just puts a border around the health bar, the gray square next to it, and the number of hit points. In this case, you would want to put a picture of your objects "face" in the left most square. *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

05 September 2006 20:26 (UK time) Well i was working on an idea for a cool hud face. The one I had at the moment (it's seen in some of the early Crater Screenshots) just wasn't cool enough. I was working ways around putting a border around the whitish translucent block, then wondered how cool it would be if it outlined the whole hud too. I spent several hours trying to nail down the exact placement of the image. Lots of Importing frame to sprite, testing, going back to editing, import frame to sprite, test, go back and edit, and so on. I also recently came up with outlining the weaopns and ammo and such too but I don't know how it would work. Maybe it could be used in placement of the retractable knife? I'm all about stretching meteor's expected capabilities. Some day I'll make a mod that has a Hud that outlines the entire screen =D *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime.
