Dude.

No need to be so salty about this.

People have different opinions on things. It happens. If you can't handle someone critiquing a HUD in a video game, I'm wondering how you would function in an actual job.

And it's not like we're blindly shitting on your HUD. Everyone has said valid criticism and not just 'this HUD is shit.'

I get what your idea behind the HUD was, kind of like a DoodleHUD meets rayshud deal. I like that. It was just poorly executed, but could easily be fixed.

The entire point of critiquing is that people care enough about the thing or person to try and make it better.

Honestly, if people hated your HUD, they wouldn't even comment with critiques.

Don't give up yet, man.

Honestly man, there's no need to be so passive aggressive about 1 person disliking the way your hud works. It's mostly just a preference thing, I mean have you seen how many official huds, along with person hud edits there are? So what if a few people don't like your hud, fuck 'em

It's horrible.

Why would you take your hud down because a couple people don't like it. You went very passive aggressive in this thread.

oh well at least we have omp

Honestly, it isn't that bad. It isn't as cluttered as i though it would be from reading the comments of this thread.

well, i liked it

if you don't want people to give you suggestions on how to improve your hud, why release it in the first place? you're sharing a hud. you're not trying to prove that your taste in huds is superior to everyone elses'.

my opinion:
the health cross is too distracting. overall, it is a pretty unique hud. i like the way it looks. i'd use it over a lot of other huds if i didn't have a hud (with modifications) that fit me perfectly.

Some would like it, not for me though

I don't think cluttered described it right. It's not that he has too many things in the wrong places. It just feels like all your shit is up in your face.

Look mate, I've never eaten a piece of shit, but I've seen it in the toilet and it looks gross, so I can confidently say it will taste bad. That's right, you heard it here first folks, I don't have to eat a piece of shit to know that I won't like it.

That said I think it looks fine, the cross is distracting to me, but I hate crosses cause I am a Satanist or something. Also it feels redundant with the actual number right there.

yeah do what other huds do and have a way to enable/disable the cross and i'd probably use it

Your fucking edit man.

Why are you so mad? Everyone has been trying to help.

Look at these recent posts, they're all trying to make the HUD better. If you can't deal with criticism, then it's a lost cause.

dude you just need to chill and accept criticism, if people don't like it that doesn't really affect you. when you put something you made out on the internet, be it code, a hud, art, or anything people are going to criticize it, it's unavoidable. you have to take the comments that don't boil down to "it's stupid" or "give up", take them into account, and try and better your creation.

for example i wrote a script at work that i was really really proud of so i put it in our wiki. someone made a complete overhaul of it and didn't even bother to tell me, which sucked, but i realized there were a lot of things that i could have done better.

you just need to relax, take your time, and let people help you. if you don't want help, don't make it public.

The guy is a lost cause man. Just let this thread die now. Too bad because it could have actually been a really cool hud. Hope someone downloaded it and got to do some small changes on it and they repost it.

Anything I say now will be instantly negative fragged. Watch:

Confetti.

Confetti.

Confetti.

See? You are getting plus fragged cause no one doesn't like you personally, we were just trying to help and give you feedback. If all the feedback you ever get is your mother telling you "That's nice dear" no one would get better at anything.

nobody here will hate you unless you do something stupid like post 4 looking threads or are a shitlord, and i don't think you're at either of those points yet <3

I don't get what is so hard about accepting that you didn't achieve perfection on your FIRST attempt. Continue to work at it, listen to feedback, be honest with yourself - that's how you can develop something better.

I'm gonna use this hud because this thread was funny.

OK, so what I'm getting from the feedback is that people want the health cross removed and everything made a bit smaller and down more towards the bottom. Does that sound about right? I'm loathe to remove the health cross because that's one of the major aesthetic differences between my HUD and Doodle's, but I may just make it smaller.

Any more thoughts on that?

one hud, i think it may be broesel, has a config with the health cross and a config without in its archive. someone else may know which one, but it'd be nice to have it as an option

I think you keep the heath cross if you just shrink the health/ammo and scale it with those elements.

I think someone said make it an option, I agree with this. There is no perfect hud, giving options (or at last point out where to delete, idk hud shit Q_Q) adds a lot of popularity.

But yeah, hp cross not being for everyone seems to be the theme of the day.

I would like to apologize for my above comment as I clearly was wrong to critize you.

If you want to keep it I would make it smaller and in the hud give options on whether the user can enable or disable it or change the size/location. Also in that regard the blackbox around the health and ammo can be made a little smaller so it fits perfectly and hence nicer. Last comment about the ammo and health is to move them a little farther apart so when the victory/defeat scoreboard appears they fit perfectly on either side of the scoreboard and don't hide behind it.

Also the last damage done should be moved directly inbetween the current health and ammo text and below the crosshair, or give an option to move it to a different location/pre-set options where the user can just uncomment the location where he would prefer it. i.e.

//This will move the damage last done indicator over the health cross uncomment the code below to use this setting
//commented code

//This will move the damage last done indicator between the health and ammo boxes below directly below the xhair, remove the comments to use this setting.

I love the main menu and the optional background is very pleasing and better than the standard background found in the game and I could look at it for a good 5 minutes because it is good artwork.

More things that I like are the scoreboards and that they are fine. It would be awesome if there were pre-set coding that is commented where the 6's scoreboard can be moved to the left of the screen, middle, or right of the screen. Just uncomment the section you want and that is the side of the screen the scoreboard will sit. I'm just weird and like the scoreboard on the right just so the first thing I look at it who is dead/alive to see if I can or cannot push.

Don't really need to say add other aspect ratios because you are already on top of that.

Giving people options on your hud is the best thing you can do because everyone is different and not one person has the same preferance as shown by my comment on the 6's scoreboard or peoples opinions on custom xhairs. The more things that can be easily edited by the user the better. Just a general thing for future updates. No one can make a perfect hud for everyone, but if you make options for the user, you give the user the ability to make your hud perfect for them.

Keep up the good work and don't let the critcal comments damper your mood. You have something great here with a lot of potential so keep your head up high.

So I took the scout image since I felt it was the best to work this. These are my opinions, some may like others may dislike.
