I've been really bored lately and i've been thinking in making a hud or something like that.
What do you like in a hud?
- I'm mostly talking about, do you like huds that mostly focus on the main ui and not much in Aesthethics (Like M0rehud and broeselhud) or hud that focus mainly on visuals and stuff like that (Like Notohud, Yahud, etc.)?
- While talking about the font in the Main UI, Do you like fonts that are simple and easy to read (Like Roboto) or fonts that have style but they're not as readable (Like Caviar Dreams)
- How much do you care about the Main Menu?
- Do you like the ui to be in the Middle of the screen or at the bottom?

- Mainly simple. Can have a couple of nice visual effects but needs to be simple and not a collision of items.
- Simple definitely, Roboto is a nice font.
- Not a lot. Just needs the essential few buttons and easy to access.
- Middle like the first picture. The closer it is to the crosshair the better. I also prefer it without the big box.

simple.
- Mostly simple. Clutter can lead to a lack of visibility and when I play I focus more on shooting things then appreciating every little detail.
- I think I would be one to see how different fonts can make a hud seem more simplistic or stylish, so I would probably lean closer to a font like Caviar Dreams.
- Main Meuns should be just areas of access. A nice background with easy to find and use buttons will work perfect.
- I prefer my ui at the bottom. Out of sight, out of mind. I prefer either big box or just number. Health crosses are weird.

Honestly I like a whole lot of huds. Just depends on what I feel like at the given time ;3
I'll just list some of my favourites, all are fully or nearly fully upated:

A bar that can time uber percentages. That seems like a fun challenge to make and I would like to try it out to see if it's practical

ScrewballHealth cross and not just numbers.
While on the topic of health cross, if you can pull a G-Mang and instead do a health bar, that'll be great for me.

I like simple huds that focus on the UI rather than menus and shiny things. Centered numbers, easy to read fonts, not a lot of eye candy. I love the old garm3n huds, broeselhud, flathud.
I find newer, shinier huds hard to read and get used to ingame (ahud, etc).
Having a cool looking main menu is always a plus but it doesn't make much difference.
I'm currently using the flathud ingame ui, the broeselhud class switch (really small simple non obtrusive window) with the main menu/inventory from another, little known hud (hexedition something).
http://imgur.com/a/lXYdQ As you can see, I have the health cross disabled (pointless eyecandy) and the main menu allows visibility even when you press esc because all the elements are on the edges. The class/team switch menus are small and don't bother you too much either. The health and ammo are easy to read. My scoreboard glitched out after one of the updates so i'm using the default one right now, but normally i like having a transparent one (at least 85-90% transparent) so it doesn't impair my vision when I'm spamming tab.

Just look at the map timer when their med spawns and subtract 45-50 secs. Boom, uber timed.

I wouldn't mind if someone made a modern looking hud. Something like Hudas Iscariote or IsaacHud.

i love really complex main menus and giant opaque boxes around my health and ammo

you use the tenkey pad to define when the medic spawns, e.g. if he spawns at 9:40 you press "+40" on your keypad

A sexy main menu background and font
Also the in-game ui should look either super smooth or tf2 based

all i care about is damage numbers that aren't all big and cyan, nice health cross and simple looking ammo counters
broeselhud does all of those perfectly

I like huds that put the damage dealt under the crosshair. Never really understood why it was put under health or damage. Too far to look sometimes especially if you're blind firing into a room you're about to enter and don't realy want to take your eyes away from the middle of your screen. I've been trying to get flatHUD to work with it but alas to no avail.

A scoreboard that is as minimal and as transparent as possible. I spend non trivial amounts of the game with it open and one I can play through is vital.

-default font (or something similar)
-broesel & PV positioning for health & ammo are the only good ways
-main menu doesn't matter, you could use stock (100% the least important part of the hud)
-easy to read 18 player scoreboard all stats included without too much clutter

2) transparent scoreboard;
anything else literally doesnt matter

I'm really picky about most fonts used in HUDs; most formats and the ui itself I have no problems with. I prefer a sans serif font that is proportional and just symmetry in general really bugs me. It's my inner OCD. Shoot me.

I like having a font sort of like ahud's
the main menu needs a demoui button cus im lazy as fuck, but other than that just keep the regular stuff
bottom or centered i dont really care as long as the font is nice (again, sorta like ahud's)

I absolutely adore fonts that simultaneously clean and quirky. I've fallen in love with Mannterface and Gmang, and they'll probably always be my two favorite huds. I can't bring myself to like ToonHud, though

A clean sans serif font that doesn't look like it's trying too hard
Good tournament spectator hud
Decent Scoreboard
