Hello webangel,

I just tried your WIP.

Thank you that you make the effort and create a beautiful HUD for MP1 as well !

I think you want feedback, because you posted it in the WIP subforum.
Three things came into my mind:

1.) The nice red color inside the lasergun weapon icon is gone, when you choose it.
It gets very dark.
The red color could stay red and the other colors around could get more opaque and bright (like the original picture and like the other weapons when chosen).

2.) The wetsuit still has the icon from ID1 (as a placeholder I assume).
It should get OoPpEe�s beautiful oxygen tank icon.
Unfortunately OoPpEe didnt release his wonderful work yet.
It would be a pity if he didnt. You should contact him to send it to you.
He sent it to me some month ago. I LOVE it
But I dont want to forward it, cause its his work.

3.) The empathy shield needs a nice icon too.
I searched through internet and found some interesting ones for you to maybe start working with:




Best wishes,
Seven

Wetsuit released

For the shield, I've been working off/on it ever since I did the wetsuit. I could make this powerup a priority. My "mod" has come to a partial halt due to lack of time recently. Models are quicker than coding for me lmao (my qc skills are weak)

Thank you for your feedback Seven.

1. I will try it
2. better?

3. wip


@OoPpEe
Cool wetsuit!

Hello webangel,

The oxygen tank look nice ! It is a keeper !

But regarding the shield you maybe misunderstood my intention:
The shield, that you chose is my favorite as well
But it was not intended to take/use it as it is.
It is much to bright and the color looks different to the in-game model.
You can open the ingame model "empathy.mdl" in QME and watch it.
Try to make the shield screenshot match the real empathy shield a bit more.
It should be darker and it has 3 stripes all over it.
For a person with photoshop skills like you, it is a piece of cake I guess.
I could never do it

Thank you again for your effort and work !

Hello Seven,
I will use this texture as base because of it�s shape.
I think it�s perfect.
Have a nice vacation.

[webangel]

Any suggestions for the shield?

Looks really nice. Will be in the next news update, when that happens. Might be a week or so out before the next update of the news.

Webangel - after seeing this topic I did start the Empathy Shield powerup model. It's coming along. Mesh basically done - just need to add the skulls and bolts. I could send it your way in a lower poly form (lower detailed skull, bolts textured on) when I am done the diffuse texture so you can apply it to the HUD. The lower detail wouldn't be noticed due to the icon size.

..I could send it your way in a lower poly form...

That would be great!

Not to hijack, but it's coming along so you should be getting a inbox message soon

Updated with diffuse

Reworked version of the "Empathy Shield". Based on OoPpEe�s new model.
