I just finished putting together two HUDs that were quickly put together after the July update. It was always a rush job and the two were betas.

I have rearranged a few things in them so players can have a way of changing them via a download instead of editing them.

There are quite a few changes and the base HUDs while they look the same are now different ... if you are using the old Betas ver 6 and 7 install the main hud files before using any options :)

This page INsanes Custom HUD's for DoD:s (http://dodbits.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=33) explains it further and the downloads are there too.

Please keep in mind that there was a lot of content in them and they are new so take care!

I realize it does look a bit complex but basically...

* You pick a hud ver 6 or 7
* Each hud has options for Kills and deaths background size and fonts.

* You then look at options and download what you want.


I would appreciate any feedback on the web page / instructions and the new options.

Cheers

INsane.

sweeet, thanks!

Thanks, I have updated the web page and I hope it's a little better to understand.

I would like some feedback on the colour choices if possible, if someone has a suggestion of a color option like... blue with white boarders, light blue kills deaths background for others darker blue for you ... color of the capture bar, that sort of thing.

I will get some more screenshots soon.

black on black is really nice. any chances of a hud with no borders? like regular DoD where your ammo count showed with nothing behind it, located on the right side.

Thanks a ton for all the hard work. Heres my input I guess:
I dont really understand the need for versions 6 and 7, they seem almost identical. The differences are so miniscule why not just combine versions 6 and 7 to the point where we get the most optional hud elements possible in one installer instead of spread out over many.

You have alot of options availible for version 6 that come in the version 7 installer. Again they seem like almost the exact same thing.

Yes that is possible, I have one style like that but it is not complete yet... an old hud ;) Will dig it up and have another look at it.

Your right, not much at all, the health bar is bigger and has only two colors and the winpanels are a bit bigger, chat text is higher. Getting the chat down low is very important to some players.

Some people did not like the Heath bar, some did, so I left it alone and called it version 7.

You could always make the health bar an option in the version 7 installer.

Yeah, true.

The version 6 is so small in the lower left area (because of the lower chat text) it doesn't allow a lot of room for anything else in there, version 7 has a bit more room so it will get more stuff than ver 6.

Working on a add-on for that area in 7 now :)

Thanks so much for the great huds man! Cant imagine dod:s without them ! :cool:
