this is more like what it would look like in game.. for a person with low health and holding the ball.. (if you are nto holding the ball, you are not a keeper, and are not in a penaltry box.. the HUD is VERY minimalistic...)

that stuff is just great!
-make the bottom grey thing blue or red too.
-the logos need work, they are not self explaining enough.

-for "you are keeper" put that little guy in front of a goal
-for "no keeper" show an empty goal (red)
-own pbox is good
-turn enemybox around
-you have ball icon aint good, this is more like a snowflake atm. the old one looked good
-what about 'pass me' icon?

oh and when you get us the textures, have em all white/grey, in dds format using alpha channels

The bottom grey thing IS blue..just you don't see it very well :)

It will all be clearly visible on top tho, and that's enough.

And indeed 'pass me' icon is missing :< and I agree with david on the snowflake thing :) people new to the game should be able to understand..maybe put BALL above it? ;p

As for the pass icon, wouldn't it be great if there would just be something flashing yellow up above (like a part of the upper metal thing), similar to how your beacon would be flashing above your head?

Would be a shame if the metal thing below would have to become any wider.

no messy.
there can be max 3 icons showing at once.
pass me would be where "you have ball" is atm
you cannot ask for pass and have the ball at once

GREAT Hud. but i still think that the red/blue part of the hud needs to have stronger colo(u)rs. The ones on the picture seem more like a grey/gray and a grey/gray-pink to me.

Thoughts go back to the scored goal screen that i had an idea for before, whipped another one up to refresh the idea.

I seen in posts that you want bugs fixed before adding ewer eyecandy etc, i fully understand that =)

re: passme
it would be the ball icon but without any colours... then turns a colour when u get the ball.

since the textures will have to be white..the colour of the hud shouldnt be much of an issue..if they will be put in by code if i understand correctly.


the icons are indeed crap.. thats cuz i suck at making pretty picture.. (i can do design.. make shapes.. but can't draw!) so ill find someone to make the icons :)

i put inthe snowflake.. cuz i cant seem to find an outline of the db ball anywhere.. is someone has a picture of just the ball post it.. or lemme know :)

id also liek to know if there's an international symbol for keeper...

(i'll hit google a bit)
