That looks sweet! I would move the visor down a smidge and make it a bit more transparent. Also, why are there jagged lines on the bottom of the visor (the white lines)?

And I thought about moving the helmet around a bit, but this is the best view where the crosshair lines up with the center of the visor. it looks great in game play. I am gonna finish the texturing, and add a lives display right on the visor to one side, no numerical. You will have to wait and see what I do with it.

Pretty cool, reminds me a bit of the one from E.L.E. but I like yours more. Looks more like the inside of a helmet rather than a visor.

Almost done.. I can not seem to get the setting to change from 99 lives. I set it to three, but it still displays 99. Any suggestions?

I assume that you're running a test-build and not an executable-build. All test-games automatically sets the number of lives to 99 at start, but when you build your final executable, the number of lives will be set to the value specified by you.

Also, this project looks very interesting, keep it up.

Looks cool, but when you think about it you aren't going to see that much of your helmet from the inside (hopefully). For a game I guess its okay, but imagine yourself looking through a real helmet or use a hockey mask or something and you'll see what I mean - you only see the edges and the visor itself. But for a game, it's okay, and it definently looks cool

Yea I had the same thoughts on the matter as well. I was going to keep it close to the visor, but found it looked better and worked better with HUD system. It really adds a lil something when your blasting around the levels. I want to make it so that when you get damage it will display cracks on the visor ......


As far as making another one fer anyone, I will add it to my entity pack, will be about a month away, seeing I am knee deep in character modeling right now.

I used 3DMAX & Photoshop CS. To make a HUD is simple, but I modeled mine. I Modeled a solid helmet shape, added a sphere with tons of poly's, put the helmet inside the sphere, did a booleen operation, leaving the sphere with a shape of a helmet inside of it. Then I deleted the poly faces where the visor was to be, added a camera, and UV mapped and texture the sphere. I rendered it at 1024x768. Opened the rendered image in PS, DID a lil magic, added images on the visor, everything on the visor has a transparancy of 18%. Saved image aS .DDS format. I used the spot for ammo title in the editor. I set it's location x=50, y=50. And that is that. I know this is a bad way of explaining how I made it, but there was a lot of work involved in this one.

Simply use an art program,1024x768 pixels, make a screen/visor area with transparancy, add any images or what ever your needs are to the image, save as .DDS format, replace any of the images in the editor with this one. That is it.
I will be adding a full face helmet to my resource pack, but it will not be ready for a month or so. Good luck,

it really don't take too much of the screen, I have tested it out and it works great. You must remember that where ever you look this hud follows, it is just as if you were wearing a helmet, and the HUD SYSTEM works great. Almost every FPS has the same look, a gun, hand animations, life health, etc...This breaks up that old fps and gives a new dimension to the game. Take a look at Republic Commando, the HUD System in this game rocked, or even Crysis. The hud makes a better way to splash health, ammo, and other stuff onto the screen without taking away from the game play. Now if you have no HUD, then you will have stuff all over your screen with a non realistic purpose. I guess you would have to play with it to understand.Anywho.. Thanks fer the feed back.

I always liked the in-helmet look with Metroid Prime. As you get damaged the cracks would be cool, maybe a little blood stain as well. If you script it right you could heal the player without removing the cracks, since health-kits don't exactly fix that

@Klive:
Just a thought, but have you ever looked at the HUD used in Metroid Prime 1 and 2. That is a slightly better design. Don't get me wrong. I like your HUD, but the there is too much visor and not enough view. That is just my two cents.

You know your code sucks when it does what you want before you know what you want.
