HUD suggestion

[003]

I've got a great suggestion for the Nexiuz HUD. I have all my weapons bound to a key, and sometimes I will forget what weapons I have, or I will think I have a weapon that I don't have. This messes me up when switching weapons. I think the HUD should be made like the HUD in UT2004, that way you can always see what weapons you have. Instead of showing all the weapons and just having the ones you don't have grayed out though, it should only display the weapons you have, and if you have a weapon that has no ammo, it should be displayed but grayed out. This would make things a lot easier.

Well right now those kind of changes are a bit tendious. With the planned release of Nexuiz 3.0 this will get easier as we will then be able to use CSQC (client side quakeC) which will allow the client to control and do quite some stuff on its own. Someone already begun with writing a scriptable hud system but i'm not sure how flexible or useable it is. Also there are still some basic problems to solve for CSQC and Nexuiz 3.0 will still need larger changes so it will still be quite some time..

How's the front on player models?

I'd like to second this suggestion. If it is feasible to implement, it would be very handy (:

AWESOME!

that's all I need to hear, this will be worked on when I finally finish psychmod 1.0 or nexuiz 3.0 is released, which ever comes first.

But i have neither seen code nor that thing in action..

You could grab it from "you-know-where" (preventing flame wars here ) if you want. It's self contained in a c file and only requires to add a small modification to com_parse to prevent removing quotes for merging the included files (which you can skip if you want too).

Well the qfusion engine is probably a lot different to q1/DP and interpreted CSQC is for sure quite different but yeah it might be worth to share code as after all both is GPLd..

Something like this??

pffff, no way, mine would have looked WAY better, lol xD

hehe that's good but, now make it display the bound keys for the weapons instead of numbers,
and, lol, if no key is bound, make it show how far you have to roll the wheel up / down to get to that weapon xD
yea i know that it's ridiculous
