HUD Updates

cbk1994 · #1 06-20-2012, 12:34 AM

We've released a new version of the HUD (the info in the top-left corner) as part of our overall cleaning up of Era's interfaces. This is still just a prototype so we're open for suggestions ("undo it" is not a suggestion; let us know how we can improve it instead).

There are a couple kinks that will be ironed out in the next day or two; keep in mind that it is intentionally minimalist. You don't need to see your money in the middle of a fight, so it is shown in the inventory instead. Your loaded ammo will probably be added here soon as well.

Things like ammo and armor only show as necessary; try equipping and unequipping a gun to see what happens

.

Note that not all features will work on v5 clients; if you haven't already, we recommend upgrading to v6.

Good Job Chris. Looks nice.

You should make it so you're able to move or place it in other positions on your screen.

This. I've noticed people complaining about how big the new HUD is, are they kidding? I can't even see the HUD on full resolution. I'd have to turn my head.

I find it a bit odd that ping is the largest portion of the HUD over all the other information. I know it comes down to character space and such but that's still a very odd thing since when it comes to HUDs that sort of visual information(size) is important.

Looks modern and is a huge +1 for the server. Good job Chris.

Also the content of the stuff is 1 pixel off-centered vertically. Y needs to -1;

Since you removed the money view, could you add a way to see your current cash to the ATM. It's just more convenient trying to deposit money.

Money is still displayed in your inventory

Colors. At least for the symbols.

Edit: Also, you could stuff a rough ping visualization into the color of the options symbol.

Minimal, stylish, and functional (ammo bar pops down when you equip a weapon). I don't see ping and I'm glad I don't.

Normally I'd say its a bit big and wasting space, but considering I maximize my Graal window @ 1920x1080 (not full screen, but still filling up my entire screen) it looks great. Good job Era.
