This is one of those stripped right down HUDs... just about all gone.

Normal Playing screen (http://www.dodbits.com/downloads/HUD/Others/Pop_up_hud/dod_kalt0045.jpg)... no kills/deaths, no Object icons...just chat and the capture panel.

That is... gone from the playing screen unless you want it...then you can call it up. It's a bit of a rough job at the moment and no finished files yet... but not many problems running it ATM.

This uses the Minimap panel and the bind "+overview_largemap".

If you use ... bind "mouse4" "+overview_largemap" or any other key/button to that command, press it and you get this confusing mess at the moment (http://www.dodbits.com/downloads/HUD/Others/Pop_up_hud/dod_kalt0032.jpg). Lift your thumb off the button... the clear screen is back.

I will make different versions because some people just can't play without looking at kills deaths, object icons :rolleyes: ...mostly the chat has all I need, I can fake the rest.

On a friendly fire server it does get a bit embarrassing if you kill a teammate and not say sorry.

There are little bits and pieces to clean up like the bottom bar on the spectator screen had to be sliced (http://www.dodbits.com/downloads/HUD/Others/Pop_up_hud/Spec_chat.JPG)and I don't have time to complete all of it this week.

But a few variants of this may work quite well :) If you have an idea of what should and should not be on either screen post below!

Give me an idea for a layout and I will spit out a version next week.

Ideas I already have is to make a very visible health bar... but on the minmap screen, delete the stamina bar and just have the turtle pop up same for the MG heat/fireselect on the playing screen.

After playing with this for about 15 mins... I like it, it grows on you.

EDIT: forgot to add... yes...you can be running along with this, and shoot at the same time while viewing all the pop-up stuff. It comes with my standard menu so you can adjust the minimap transparency up and down...player names...tracks...rotate...teammate health.

How do kills pop up? That is something that is good to know :) maybe a quick pop and slow fade? And something a little more eye catching for personal kills?

I like where this is going though...would be great for all games! It is the TRUE "No Bull**** HUD". ;)

They display in the normal way but only display when you call up the minimap in the toggle full map mode...."+overview_largemap"

A hud item can go on either screen. I think a fade is possible but only on the mimimap screen. But this function is just for a quick look at items and then let go and back to a clear screen.

this would be the perfect hud layout, if i knew how to i would :P

That's possible with this :)

:cool: be cool if you made a hud like that :cool:

Nice work Insane! I have a suggestion but it isn't along the lines of your 'pop up' version. I was thinking of a opacity option that would adjust the overall opacity of the HUD. You could make a button in the class select screen that would either increase or decrease the overall opacity by 10%. Just a thought.

oxy

Now that would be a nice option, even for the standard hud.

I am not sure that is possible for a normal hud given how all the separate files work... I will take a look anyway. Aways pays to follow up the more "out there" ideas, some turn up gold :)

:cool: be cool if you made a hud like that :cool:

It will be made :)

No kills and deaths?

Hmm, kills and deaths top LHS, with minimap top RHS popable?

And chat area popable?

yeah show kills and deaths but in small text with no background and stick it in the top right hand corner (default) i don't use minimap. If its a new custom map i dont know i just use the big map to get my bearings. also i notice i took the health bar out, anyway to put a small one into the graphic? I run at 1440x900 and want things as small as possible

this would be the perfect hud layout, if i knew how to i would :P

That would be really cool, though i don't see a healthbar, and the names of people getting killed and stuff. I wan't those, but not with the huge weapon icons and all that.

Well... I started to do some work on this and came up with another HUD type. I will still do the pop-up one or work some options in to this one...

Here are some more screenshots ... 1024x768 cap-out on my det test map (http://dodbits.com/images/stories/Hud_stuff/others/miniright_mp44.jpg) and a large widescreen 1680x1050 (http://dodbits.com/images/stories/Hud_stuff/others/miniright_wide.jpg) (warning large image 0.5 mb) cap-out on donner. I'll play with this a little more and see what options I can squeeze in to this. There will be two types standard dod:s colors with standard icons and a black version with swastika icons.
