Obviously we felt a change was needed and are quite pleased with the way the new HUD has turned out (note the lack of any alignment problems), but it would be intresting to hear everyone elses opinions.
The new HUD is pretty cool, a nice crossover between WC3/4 and WCP. I kind of expected the HUDs to be blue, but then that might cause problems with some of the coloured space textures.
Good luck!
Well, a blue HUD wouldn't have caused problems, but it would have been a lot like the original Confed HUD... and the point was to have something looking different .
Ahhh, okay. I see your reasoning. In that case I reckon the HUD is pretty darn cool. Well done, I'm amazed at how far this mod has come and the possibility that such a large project is coming to an end
Y'know, before I even knew about the CIC, before I even had a regular Internet connection, I did a search for "Wing Commander" and found Unknown Enemy. And that was quite some time ago.
Anyway, from what I remember of the screenshot, the HUD looks great, especially the colour differentiation from Confed (although, in WC4, Confed HUDs was green and the BW's were blue ). Can't really say much else until I see it in action.
Its supposed to look less proffesional than the confed HUD, thats what filler was aiming for, to highlight the difference in technologies between the advanced confed fighters and dated BW fighters.
Well, like I said, it's a joke... in fact, there are three ships with green in their paintjob - the Bengal, the Epee, and the Scim. But the number of ships with red is higher .
