HUD Improvement MOD?

[Fogg]

Per community suggestion here I am reposting this in the mod forum.

After doing a quick search I couldn't find anything on this, but I would like to see a very minor change/addition to the HUD that would display the Current Wave #, progress in wave, as well as the active class and progress to next level. The timer could be moved to the top center of the screen when the shop is open, or added to the wave counter.

Ex:

Wave 8: 32 Remaining
[SS Icon]
3235/5000 Headshots


Wave 9 Complete - Shop Closes in 00:00
[Support Icon]
34k/50k Welded
50k/100k Shotgun Dmg
​

At rank 6 it would still show the total damage or kills as the game keeps track of it.

Is there already a mod for this?

Thanks!

I vote for everything on the HUD being smaller, like the bars of health and armor on top of players, because that bar covers up my view too much and fuks my gameplay, yes i use low resolution, 640x480.

Maybe a "deadzone" right near your cursor where it doesn't show up. I know it sometimes makes it rough as Sharpshooter when you are trying to fire past teammates.

I must admit I REALLY like the idea of the perk stats etc showing. This would be very nice for custom servers out there. I sure would love to have this.

I already had the perk progress on the hud for Weapon Perks, so if anyone feels like making this and needs some help with that, they can holler at me.

640x480.

Holy hell what you playing it on? Mini laptop, I couldn't imagine anything worse to experience this game!

really? I had one similar and it rand medium KF ok...

Call that BS, or unknown miracle.

Guess i got lucky. Of course, it was a pure PC - i had it cleaned and reinstalled so there was no sh*t on it or anything. But it had a single core 2.3 ghz processor and 1gb ram.

i'd like to see the red weld % icon removed - with you only able to see a door's integrity using the welder.
This, alongside other changed a few of us have mentioned, could be part of a 'realism' mutator that makes the game harder and in theory could be whitelisted.

I really really like this idea. Care to brainstorm for a few more ideas? Some ideas that come to mind right now would be:

• Remove health/armor bars above other players aswell as those in your hud
• Remove ammo counter
• Forcefully disable the red particle glow that leads to the trader

 

[halbridious]

The trader one - you could turn it off in KF settings couldn't u? Also, could you just give it a third or even a 5th of the refresh? right now its a fast pulse, but if it was just there every few seconds to show you you are in fact going the right way, it wouldn't be as bad.

I also like how this is starting to sound. The welding percentage showing could be only seen by Support Specialist to sorta make the perk more, well you know. Removing ammo counter may get rather annoying for most players so this maybe could be a switch on/off on it?

The red particle glow I think i'll agree with above. Have it show in longer burst so you will have to concentrate more and it also show's that you are going in the right direction as the arrow can be misleading.

@halbridious: It's in the options, that's why I said forcefully . Reducing the pulse could also work. I'm personally more for completly removing it, so if you know the map - good for you. If you don't you're gonna have to spend time during the end of a wave to actually search for the trader.

@Flux
Welding Percentage only for Support: Why? Just showing it on the welder instead of the red box seems okay to me. If you want to know the weld strength of a door you're gonna have to bite the bullet and whip out your Welder .
Removing ammo counter: That's one of the biggests musts for any "hardcore" hud, innit ? Either you count your bullets or you use guns like the M7A3 wich have a digital counter.

God I'd kill if i didn't have my ammo counter. maybe if it showed mags only, not individual rounds left in the gun. that gives you a general feeling without telling u exacts. Taking it away all together would be cruel, especially for firebug and commando, since they have hundreds of rounds to go thru, often quickly, and you can't keep track of that.

As for the trader pulse, i want it there for one reason - custom maps. The arrow tends not to tell me I'm 2 floors up until i get right there, and i hate losing a map cause i couldn't buy ammo. happened twice yesterday when i had to leave the trader to go save some blokes behind

I guess so as it will be pretty much the same thing.

I agree on both ideas here cause everyone relies on knowing how many bullets are left cause of the amount you get. Im one who constantly reloads when I get the chance just to make sure I am ready for whatever is coming roung the corner. The trader arrow is a pain in the arse like you explained because it gives off wrong directions depending on how the Authors of the map have made the trader positions.

In any case the option to turn certain things on/off would be nice. I'd like to be able to turn off player health bars when they are right near the center of my screen when I don't have something like the MP7 out, cause that's the only time I actually care about seeing it.

Perk stats would be pretty boss and that's why I started this thread.
