EDIT: UPDATED 19 MAR 2007

* Updated new chat box files.
* Updated Object Icons and fixed Background slightly overlapping corners.


EDIT: UPDATED DEC 25 2006
A small change to the Objective Icon settings, the background was too wide.... fixed.

26 Nov 2006.
The HUDs downloads have changed.

The changes only affect you if you use Medium or low settings in the Video Advanced options.

I made an error to some of the VTF's in these HUD's, Object icons, Win Panels and some team menu graphics were saved with the wrong settings, on Medium and low, the graphics lost quality.

They now look the same on low, med and High settings. Sorry about that.



I have Played with the beta Versions enough now... made a few changes.

1. The installer package has changed, just slightly bigger GUI.

2. The Welcome, Class and TeamMenus are all Black now.

3. The Black background in the Kills and Deaths got a couple of shades darker, the menu has adjustments and, there is a readme for the menu on how to adjust tranparency and weapon icon size, report the size through the console and make a autoexec.cfg file to make it stick. The is a sample cfg file also.

4. There are two choices of menus, Version 8 and Version 1. Version 8 is more to standard, version 1 is spaced out a little more for people who like that style.

The rest is as the betas were.

The MG and Fire select Bars (http://www.dodbits.com/downloads/HUD/MOH_Beta/Fire_MG_Cap_Bar.jpg) are moved to the Player Status Panel.

The Win Panels have changed as they were interfering with some Plug-in panels used on some servers. Small graphics also added to places like the winpanels, object icons and K/D area...

Allied Kalt win (http://www.dodbits.com/downloads/HUD/MOH_Beta/US_Win_kalt.jpg)

I tried to get them as low as possible, small and still get long names in.

The file dod_english got a touch-up too, the changes were shortened radio messages, and the old class names in dod 1.3. This affects the Scoreboard and the class selection screen too...

Wow..I'd just like to say thanks again for taking the extra time to make the standard version.:)

No problem, in fact it was a good suggestion of yours, I found out that the Iron Cross version is more popular.... not much more, but obviously the swastika is a barrier. I like the Iron Cross myself.

When I make any small graphics now for items like the new menu I actually make three versions, one standard Green and white star, iron cross and us flag and us flag and swastika.

I am interested in anyone that uses these huds on a TFT 1280 x 1024 display,
that is the only res my 20" widescreen (1680 x 1050) won't do properly in dod:s...all others down to 640 x 480, just not that one :)

If someone has a color suggestion I can make other versions as well, place your hud color preference below and I will make one.

you....
rock my sox
:crown:
:vader:

what is the main difference between the swastiak hud and the standard hud. Could you post screenies to show it or describe it

The standard one has no swastikas in it, it has the iron cross instead.

That's the only difference in the two.

Thanks! What would I do without you Guyver :D

I have a Samsung 940B at 1280x1024. I love this update, great work. I got my almost my whole clan using it because of what I said about it. Thank you very much for your hard work and this is so far the best update of your MOH hud.

Oh thanks, did you make a team logo to place in the menu? (instructions in the readme)

This may be too hard to do for some it requires a VTF file. If anyone needs a VTF made up email me with a clan logo image.

Kick @$$!! GJ!!:D

Insane, is it possble to make objective icons for Anvil and Strand to match the ones in this hud?

EDIT: FOUND SOMETHING... I will try to put something together and we will see.

Its a fair bit of work considering there are so many custom icons plus so many custom icon packs!

The dod_anvil2 files work OK when replaced ... these ones, (http://www.dodbits.com/downloads/random/dod_anvil2_object%20icons_us_iron_flags.zip) but no other maps respond to using this method, tried the files in dod_churchyard_b5, and dod_strand_rc1... no luck at all.


OLD POST...
I have not been able to find how to do that yet, (have not tried hard :D) it seems once it is in the .BSP file it cannot be changed? Even if a VMT file with another file name is in the game folder it makes no difference.

Maybe ask over at the mappers forum, it does cause a few problems for some of us making custom icons...fine for standard stuff but once it is embedded... other things can go wrong too.

To explain...
There is one map that shows how careful the mappers have to be with "locking up" files like this.... dod_churchyard_b5.

Set your video settings on low, run dod_churchyard_b5, look at the Object icons, some are blurry some are not. It's the VTF settings... the file was saved incorrectly for a hud graphic, I have done the same thing, it's very easy to forget. (http://dodbits.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=64&Itemid=53)

Maybe inserting other types with Pakrat would work? But... I don't know if would be "the done thing"... mappers permission, server kicks you out because the map has changed.

So... maybe a mapper or two has a point of view on this ?

I may have found a way after all Guyver :)

Too early to know yet but one method looks promising, after adjusting the icons and setting them in the right place one more thing may help, adjust the mod_textures file. I will look tomorrow.

If I am right in this thread, (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=1018127#post1018127) a custom pack is possible for a little extra effort.
