New hud progress

The topic for all discussion on my hud concept, loosely based on geartrooper's hudguns.

Version 1:

Version 2:

As you can see, this is entirely useless as is. Aside from any æsthetic problems, it doesn't currently work with Sauerbraten at all. Thus, I need someone who can either
1. edit the code/shader that defines the HUD characteristics or
2. tell me what code/shader defines the HUD characteristics so that I can figure it out myself.

Info:
The hud will be optimized for resolutions 800x600 and up. This means that it will just fit at full resolution for 800x600, and be shrunk for anything smaller.
But, you may say, it's a ridiculous size for widescreen displays! No problem (for you): the hud will expand only horizontally at the bare point between the last big blue part (how scientific) and the fps.

Any questions, comments go here.

You're welcome! Can you, by any chance, post your hud design (the actual design, without the screenshot)? I think I may have an idea of how to implement it. Thanks!

Too circle-y, I find that circles do not work very well in the long run. It's just a lot more intuitive to read rectangular bars, not to mention a whole lot easier to set up.

That's how I'm approaching it. Although it needs some polishing, and other such stuff. Comments welcome, criticism expected ;)

That's an interesting way to go about it. I was looking for the actual hud picture, not the cfg though :-)

I know.;) The picture take a bit to do, though, so I haven't got that for you yet.

Just remembered, forgot a very useful 'mask' command...

Yes, you did! I have an idea how to implement your idea of stretching the hud to fit the res without skewing it or anything.

I appear to have screwed up on the size:resolution ratio. I'm not exactly sure what I did wrong, but it doesn't work for 800x600. Right?

What do you mean, it won't work for 800x600? I have it working almost perfectly, *in game*. But the res of your hud image is kinda weird, if that's what your talking about.

Oh, it works alright! I have everything in its proper place (except the FPS count, which, JadeMatrix, you should fix for 800x600) and it looks great.

maybe you would have noticed that in my original post i was talking more about the layout then the theme itself. It takes up very little space in the playing area and it displays everything clearly, if you know how to read it well.

I think you should reverse the white->transparent gradient on the main reflection of the items, should look better. Right now it is almost_transparent->white from top-down, should be white->almost_transparent. ;-)

That file is a prototype file q009... it is not implemented and most likely will not be implemented for a little while.

Plus, the cfg contains comment lines whithout // just because I was lazy.

hmm, "life" should be "f_life"...
