If you're talking about the center image on the main menu, that is so that it can be disabled ingame. Anything beyond that would've just been an oversight.

And making a full, complete HUD is the plan. That's what I'm doing right now. Just putting this thing here because peeps keep asking me about those two features, which aren't in any other HUD currently.

Sort of but not really. It's more a proof-of-concept refract texture thrown in on the overlay, basically works exactly like water textures do but it's set up to just condense the screen down and throw it on top, with a few weird buggy characteristics.

No problem mate. I try to look at the better side of things anyway.

Well, I haven't tried to keep it a secret that this is hardly different. All I really care about is it's released so people will stop asking me where they can get my HUD, I knew I would've been pushing the boundaries but I didn't expect a reaction to this degree. Any suggestion on how I should release it instead?

That's just old remains of when I thought trading was cool. Thanks for reminding me though.

That was the plan up until I realized in order to maintain consistency I had to work with one clientscheme. It was either rayshud packed or rayshud extremely recommended, and just through the people I know before this there's been too much confusion about installing it.

Indeed. I'm more after functionality than appearance for the menu, and the overlay's more "if you want it go for it".

Ignore this.
