Shadow Cat
By Fireslave(my first attempt so be nice)
Link: new link.. works now...

This is my first attempt at a .tek file.

It is a modification of an already existing HUD display. I was dissatisfied with the original reticule and am still not happy with the radar but it works fine for me.

Criticisms are welcome.

heres the best .tek yet...

it has ALL the popualar mechs, including many by the very talented Dorian Gray
(check the pic for a sample of his work)
this is a .rar file, so you will need win RAR to get it...

The beginning of my thor conquest.

Wow man, that is..... wow

Very Good job

some things not working..... these little img html etc link buttons do me no favours....

no worky on any of the picies or linkies

Ok, so here is the Hud Pack I've been workin on for a couple of days......

This is a shot of the nice Brushed Aluminium Cockpit Lining I have added for that "Easy to wash the brains off of" surgery kind of look.

This is the Transparent Black Friendly Fire reticle, so you can still see what you are shooting at when it is that time of the morning and friendly fire becomes funny

This is the Enemy Reticle, It is red, has a dot in the middle, ummmm...... did i mention that it was red????

http://home.iprimus.com.au/kirsty_tim/Hudp...dpack/enemy.jpg

The Radar surround is also a metallic look. It also features a transparent background in yellow, to allow you to a )see what is behind it (huh????) and
b ) i found yellow to be the color that best highlighted the red blue green and white icons that show up on the radar, and in some cases, they are now more visible on the screen than before.

Oh yeah and the reticle has 6 sides now! Don't know why, it just looked nice.

Have fun. Here is the link to download it.
It is a Rar file, containing a single tek file. run it in the hudpatcher in place of any other HUD patches such as the high energy green or the standard M$ one.

Dude! that cockpit lining makes the cockpits seem bearable.

very nice

10/10

Very nice - though now I face a difficult choice - I love the radar of the high energy green hud...

Ah, could you make a version with a radar like that for high energy green addicts like me?

:-\

[Edit]

What I mean is that it's a bit hard to see nav points on the yellow background - also if you've got multiple enemy contacts on the radar it's a bit hard to make out which one is your current target.

Other than that, beautiful HUD.

Hey, nice work. Those are some cool teks! Good job on that Thor Hatamoto.

BTW: I've been having a little trouble finding a clear guide on making custom HUDs and such. Could someone give me a link?

EDIT: Okay, let me rephrase that. I understand the guide for Mech textures that Firesalve has posted, and all I want is a guide to making a HUD.

I Have A Simple Question for the rest of you people im making my thor texture and i notice that there are brown spots on it to make it look as if it were rusted would you like me to keep those or try to make the mech look "new" "clean"?

Wow, lots of nice work going on here, keep it up guys.




Novaº

hmm, leave um on for now...post up a cloaser screeny of it

I have a request. Could you guys please post your downloads in zip instead of rar.

I had WinRar once, but the trial is only good for 30 days. Nice product but I don't want to buy it. I'll wait until someone comes up with a Gnu alternative.

Get winace.

Ahh finished as best as i can do

And the back If anyone woudl like the Tga files to tweak it a bit more PM me.

Very GJ dude.

download!!

Emails!




Character!





STORE!

would someone out there be nice egough to convert that one .rar file to a format I can use?

OK, my apologies. Here is a zip file link for the Hud pack i posted above.

http://home.iprimus.com.au/kirsty_tim/hudp...lverHudpack.zip

Uhm...

You can use WinRar forever... - Just click the "close" button on the "please register" screen.

You do _not_ have to register the program unless you use it for business purposes.

you want to download my tek? here you go.

anybody here know the naming conventions of the cockpit models????

I wanna try and mod one for starters if anyone knows where i can find em.

as i said before..try PMing Matt for..say.....the Madcat cockpit model, he might give it to you to see if you can make it look better.

if yours turns out good, he may give you a few more, and after that...who knows.

Here's some of the skins I showed a while back...

This one is a Custom One

Firebird

Nuclear Scales

CommJammer (didn't turn out as well as I thought though, was supposed to be squarish)

Leopard Skin (my best IMO)

aaaaaaaaaand... Goldenrod

I have been playing with the Energy Green HUD and I have finally got what I want.

This is my second version and I finally have the radar the way I want. You Long Tom users might want to have a look at this. The radar has no backgtound color. It is clear and you can see through it. It also has lines for aiming high angle weapons like the Long Tom.

The reticule is similar to some rifle scopes and for me it is a lot easier to use.

I have also changed the internal cockpit. It isn't as orderly as the brushed aluminum one done by Garbin but it does give a unique look to the cockpit.

Have a look and see what you think.

Line Threat

Toothpaste

can we get some screenies before we download?

whooooops 4 got bout this thread.....anyhow some more skanks to turn your stomaches.

here a skank......there a skank.........everywhere a skank skank skank.

i promise ill never say that again.

I thought I would help Beowulf out here. Very nice HUD by the way.
First picture.

And #2.

is there any way to change the look of the inside of the cockpit? like adding more screens and cool stuff inside instead of a lil console and gray walls
