I checked out the SVN version, pretty cool. The sounds are definatly an improvement. I especially like that you added different effects for underwater.

I got a hall of mirrors effect whenever I got hit by an explosive, only way to resolve it was to restart Sauer.

A few sounds sounded a little nimble, the grenades explosion didn't really sound like an explosion to me. Also I tought the revolver was a little weak, tough when I tried it again later it sounded okay, so it might have been me not bieng accustomed to it yet.

Bullet hit sounds were awesome and added a lot to the imersion.
I'dd love to hear an optional footstep sound too, I miss that a bit in Sauer.

One thing I liked better in the original were the rockets, I'm not really won for the flare trail in the current version.

The minigun muzzle flash felt a little overpowering, I tought it was distracting. The other muzzle flashes were a big improvement tough.

The lightrays in the caslte map were a nice touch too, altough I think they were a little too strong.

The HUD is a mixed bag for me. I think it looks really good, but if does feel a bit too futuristic for Sauer I think.
Same with the type, altough I must say I think it's more legible then the default sauer one. Also think the loading bar felt more slick, I like it :)

I know it's an SVN version, and these are just my oppinions. Hope you'll keep up the good work.

yea there is some argument about sauer's main theme though.

useless argument. the game has no theme and its just neutral, so don't try to stick a theme to it. Though i do have to agree that although the new HUD is nice, its a bit too futuristic compared to the rest of the game. maybe it needs a slicker, simpler idea.

I view Sauer as an accumulation of all kinds of themes, there's definatly scifi themes (maps, skins), but there's also plenty of fantasy and contemporary stuff in the game.

I don't think the Hud looks bad at all, but like Razgriz said above, perhaps something more simple, more universal is in order?

you seen it in "New HUD - WIP" thread.
Actually it's just 20% smaller now.

And IMO Snout10K is very futuristic... So i think JUD fits the theme. Especially when there are even more sci-fi themed maps, especially Reissen.

ironsnout10k is not really sci-fi. Its like a normal snout in a full body suit of armor. If it were a mech, it wouldn't spill blood everywhere when shot, and wouldn't make grunt sounds :P

that said, even if it were a futuristic addon to the game, its no good reason to base your HUD on that and on a couple of maps that are kind of futuristic, like reissen as you said which is more like a heavily mechanical industrial map, no fancy stuff here and there to imply a certain date to imply future timeline. hope you know what i mean by the last, kudos to you :P

and i shouldnt base my HUD on couple of maps which are "non-sci-fi".

and if you would read description of snoutx10k you would understand that IT IS sci-fi themed

Imho HUD should be not "themed" it should be improved for easy understand you health, ammo, armour etc. You choose wrong way:)

his whole point is it is HIS hud, and he can theme it the way he wants to.

He doing HIS hud for him only or for public use? If it for public he should sometimes listen what say others.

You're confusing free - as in beer - with free - as in speech. The two are mutually exclusive.
