Silent Kane was responsible for the code work, I did the HUD texture job.

The target bracket is now completely removed. Relevant object information is displayed in the lower right hand of the screen. The object's icon and health is displayed there, along with your ammunution count and your position in the vehicle you're inside.

The icons themselves, such as the compass, are still being worked on. The compass is the icon above your health meter, which is next to the overhead view of the radar map. The view of the radar map is also being improved over time, and will look much better by the time we release.

Icons relevant to your status will be displayed in the middle left portion of the screen. One will show if you're being repaired, another will show if you're able to sell your vehicle. This is done by driving to the center of the Service Depot and either pressing a key or clicking the Sell button.

I really like those features, Silent_Kane did a wonderful job enabling these features. What I don't like is the look of the hud, it doesn't really match Red Alert's (or RenAlert's) theme.

EDIT: Accidental spelling errors.

Very, very cool. However, I think you should keep at least some semblance of the banding box around a targeted object, maybe just the green lines and the health, with all the rest of that information being displayed at the bottom right. In the heat of battle it's going to be a bit of a drag to check down at the bottom right of the screen constantly instead of just have the health bars within your field of vision. However, I doubt it will be much of a problem.

Goodness, that is one of the coolest things I've ever seen done for Renegade...

Awesome.

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

The features are great, but the HUD is too chunky with the current graphics.

Maybe something like this would be better:

These features are amazing, but poorly presented!

Contact me if you need any hints/tips or even edit it a little

Poorly presented how? I made the HUD around the template given to me, there isn't much else that can be done with it.

The borders seem a little too.. Bland? Im not sure how to explain it but it does seem it can be made better.

If you could PM a link to the template an i could see what i can come up with i could show you how to improve it.

Hmmm, that's a very nice touch. I applaud you, Aircraftkiller and Silent Kane. However, I must agree that the texture for the HUD is kind of plain. If its going to take up that much space, I'd like to see something a bit more interesting. Surely you can do better than generic silvery metal.

Maybe simply call Darkblade and use the same theme for the hud as the one of the control bar of Red Alert...

It's not even done as I said before. Before the release it will get modified and I will end up showing additional images of it.
