Hey all Esf fans. I've recently been absent from the relm of computer gaming and came back from my trip to reality to chek out how one of my fav mods was going. To my supprise it is shooting along, with great maps animations and moddels. However there is one thing that buggs me. The Hud. I dont want to offend the Esf team (Great work guys!:yes: ) or anyone else, but it looks crap. I hope its not the final one and please correct me if im wrong. I'd also like to know the rest of the Esf communities fealings about it. Thanx :fight:

The hud i could care less about, its the aura that gets to me cause it should have like bright light in it since it cant move like flames in the show.

was it just me or is what half you just said in another language? Anyway, what i was trying to say was that the hud at the moment is better that the original one in the alpha release but i thing that these guys can do alot better, thats all. I was just letting them know, once all the moddeling, texturing, animations and maps are done they should fix up the hud a little. At the moment its to bulky and covers up like 1\4 of the screen, i mean, come one, shrink it and spread it out. something like ki on one side health and power level on the other and have what move your doing in the center... but thats just one mans vision :rolleyes: ...

I would probably start flamming you right now, but im trying to be nicer to fans, so i wont :)
If you look in the dev journals, you will see that we shrunk the hud...

theres nothing wrong with the aura.
atleast it doesn't look like bfp's "look im on fire" aura. You'll never get it like the dbz cartoon aura. Well maybe if you have a profesional team of coders and a better egine.

really some of you guys don't realize that the half-life has it's limitations but esf still pushes the engine to get the best out of it.

I think the current hud looks great. As for the aura, it looks good as well. As stated above, HL just can't do some things. And if there was a lot of bright light in the aura, it'd get really annoying to look at.

by profecinal coders i mean people who get payed for their work and actually can work 24/7 on the code. it wasnt mean as an insult. More like a compliment on how good they code it on an old engine and in their spare time.:)

You know what, thats a good point! Coders that are payed to do **** dont have a choice. Fan coders do it because they want to.

Thanx PC Joe for the pic, as i said before i've been absent from the world of computer gaming, then new hud looks alot better and i like the fact that the ki and powerlevel are in the same bar. But what i find most amusing is that everyone can get into an argument involvind the hud and end up talking about the fact the hl engin is 4 years old :p

Its partially true to say what hibiki said about pro programmers. But its not entirely true. You can't just generalize programmers like that. Great programmers are great programmers. Sure i know there are many programmers who don't give a **** about anything they code, and are in for the money, but there are also a lot of great programmers who really enjoy what they do, and do it with a passion. Otherwise, we wouldnt have so many great games out there, and if your aware of the gaming scene, dozens of great games have been pouring in recently.

Thats my two cents about that.

Well, the hud looks better now, not so bulky, but his idea of dispersing it across the screen isn't too bad either. There are many games like that, purpose being to make even a lesser obstruction of the screen.

Well of course we can easily get onto the topic that the engine is old. That kinda applies to every aspect of HL Mods.If you're talking about the HUD, you'll invariably start talking about some other graphical thing and that will lead to ppl suggesting the impossible which leads to someone pointing out that the engine just can't do that :p

I'd rather the HUD be in one spot so I can see everything at once without looking at different parts of the screen.
