New Drone HUD Details

[Thanatos]

- Added new entries to the rposcolor.ini


//Drone colors
DroneBase=128 255 190 255

FullEnergy=100 200 150 255
MediumEnergy=200 200 150 255
LowEnergy=200 80 60 255

DroneCrosshairCore=128 255 190 0
DroneCrosshair=128 255 190 255

DroneHudChatBG=128 255 190 0


DroneBase is the base color of the drone HUD
Full-, Medium-, Low Energy are the colors for the 4 bars (works like the health bars etc)
DroneCrosshairCore is the old crosshair (round one) as you see, default it is deactivated (alpha = 0)
DroneCrosshair is the new drone crosshair inspired on J. Folsoms submission in the respective thread.(We streched it a bit)
DroneHudChatBG is the background color of the chat (if you wish to have a background) default it is deactivated (alpha = 0)

The drone interface was designed on the base of the proposal of Crunchy in the drone HUD thread.

Thanks to all runners that submitted ideas, we hope you like the end result.

- Added new features to the drone HUD:

Next to the new graphical bar, the Drone Shield energy is also represented with the percentage (in text).
The same goes for the Drone Ammunition (energy pool)
Added Droner health bar, next to it the health is also displayed in numbers.
Added Distance meter, the further your drone flies, the fuller it gets. We also added a percentage there as well.
Drop speed meter and speed meter are now horizontal (used to be vertical). The zero point is on the inside of the hud, this means that the zero point of the drop speed (the left horizontal bar) is on the right and the speed meter (on the right) has its zero point on the left.
A compass has been provided and off course it points to the direction your drone is flying.

- Changed chat interface when droning.
- Moved alt+f information to the left upper corner (out of the way of the chat)
- Added "drone current distance" / "drone max distance" to the alt + f information
Attention! The RPOSColor.ini will be overwritten with this patch! Make a backup if you use a custom profile!
People that have their custum hud in the rposcolor.ini, please send your new profiles (and profile names) to Iorghe (using forum PM). He will patch the updated rposcolor.ini again with the next patch.

If you have a rposcolor.ini profile and would like to submit it, send a pm to Iorghe

DX9 is the way to go apparently.

[Killfly]

Unfortunately, for me, 'going DX9', would mean a new graphics card, which would mean a new motherboard (yes, mine's THAT out of date :( ), which would mean a new CPU... You get the picture...

Pants :(

[Xeno LARD]

:(.

Go and check out the themeweek forum. There was some posts about this there.

[BlackDove]

Okay let me break this down in screenshots in how it is for DX7 people.

The horizon is the breaking point for some odd fucking reason.

So to re-cap:

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

To simplify - don't look at the fucking floor :p

[Gau]

Hi there

Killflys problem is not just for those usin DX7 i run DX 9 an i have the same prob
:mad:



i mean come on ppl the argument over DX versions is pointless as you can see i have always kept my DX on the latest ver. and i still see no HUD

i have tweeked all the settings tryin to get my HUD to show even used the 3 clolor layouts that have been posted in this thred an still got nuttin so what now guys lemme hear your thoughts on this

Well of to LVL some more with a buggy droners HUD

Catch you on the flip side

[Nidhogg]

Looks like a Z-buffer issue.

/edit - check here (http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?p=1684582#post1684582) for more details.

[Gau]

:confused:
Z-Buffer

What is that an how do i check it ? ? ? ?

:confused:

[MrChumble]

Think co-ordinates. You've got your X and Y axis as horiztonal and vertical, and Z as depth. I'm far from an expert, and too lazy to google, but I believe the Z buffer is where the image you see is stored before being sent to the monitor, so if stuff is added to the Z-buffer in the wrong order then it will be drawn wrong. Like here the HUD should always be drawn last as it needs to be on top, but it looks like the hills are 'infront' of the HUD in the Z-buffer.

Basically it's a coding issue so there's not much you can do about it.

If someone wants to improve on that explanation feel free :)

[BlackDove]

Don't care about the explanation - I care about the fix added to next patch. I want my god damn crosshairs.

Try aiming an RK-500 without one. Having to use your brain at all times is tiring. Really.

*wonders what happened to no patches on Fridays so hotfixes could be applied if required*

[Iorghe]

I'm on it

[BlackDove]

Good to know someone is.

[Iorghe]

done, will be patched with the next fotfix or patch

[BlackDove]

Thank you very much-o.

[J. Folsom]

DroneCrosshair is the new drone crosshair inspired on J. Folsoms submission in the respective thread.(We streched it a bit)
Cool! That's pretty creepy though.

[BaDDaSS]

Thanks for that.

Here's badass grey updated for the droners.

Thanks :D

[Velvet]

done, will be patched with the next fotfix or patch
