Thats how the new HUD gonna look like.
And heres the APC modelled for mars wars
I wish it was possible to make the chains movement look more realistic. (by using springs or something) I'm working on it... |

Thanks Beatonator and Goober, I wasn't sure if you guys would like the HUD.
Its not the same as the HUD from Red Faction.  But I couldnt figure out how to create a pulldown menu for weapons. Stuff like that is very complicated.
I really like the new weaponbar, the textures for it can be changed, I couldnt make a better background for it.  And maybe I should scale it adown a little but that would make so much work 
Yeah the health icon is off the center. These health icon textures are a little buggy. I dont know why volition did that. You know, by losing health the icon changes, and many of the health textures aren't identical (some have differnt offsets). But I'll fix it. (I'm not so good at making alpha channels thats why it'll take a little longer  ) It seems like the Health value is behind a texture, I didnt know how to fix it yet.
The ammo indicators on the left will be changed too. Pickup messages have been changed. However the fontsize is still much too big. Red Faction uses very small fonts for the pickup messages. 
Theres a problem with the ammo digits. The ammo in the clip is shown on the bottom right (for now). And the overall ammo is shown at the right. But we dont want to see the overall ammo there. It should be the overall ammo substracted from the clip ammo  Can anyone do unreal maths?
I have tryed to spawn a character (a real mesh) in the Main menu which plays animations, but I couldnt get it to work  (as seen in Red Faction2)
I think that would be cool.. Oh well I guess we'll have to stick with plain images then 
Yeah it would be cool to have textures with more detail for the vehicles. But I just dont know how to do it.
I only know how to scale em and sharpen em a little
| Quoting Goober | | and, when do you neede the menu graphics for? |
at any time
But I may change the positions of the buttons and their shapes etc.
So you shouldnt make a background that only works with the mainmenu seen on the screenshot.
Oh well, theres enough time for a background.
First I've got to fix the HUD and do some little changes on all the submenus. (must change the blue background in the windows with a red one. Theres no time for a whole new menu theme but it should look a little different at least) |

If you want, i can make the graphics for the HUD too
I can make animations of the characters, vehicles and weapons in turntable GIF animations... but that would requite you sending me the model files... |

Unreal doesnt support gif files
But its possible to use animated textures in unreal. There is an "animation" tab in the texture properties.
I have Jasc Animation shop 3 (or something). I can create gif files, too  |

well, im back from my vacation ...
It's nice to see soo much got done in such a little amount of time  .
It's good to be home as well ... people in kansas look at you funny when you're wearing a husker T-shirt . It didn't feel comfortable at all  .
I was thinking about the aesir and creating a masako version of it would be easy, you could change the fire rate of weapons (or damage), give it 100 or so more armor, change the texture to masako's and you have one elite aesir ... |

i got some concept ideas of vehicles too ... but i can't draw so i can't really show you guys .
Im going to SAC tomorrow ... maybe, it should be fun.
Im tired of Kansas .
Edit: i guess i could start making clutter objects that are from RF ... since i now know how to make static meshes ... ill then pack them up and give them to red frog (ill look at what meshes REDFROG does have and i will do the one he hasn't made yet)
Is that ok with you guys? |

Will there be any new charecters in the mod?Maybe a mutant merc?
You no the rock snake in RF?How about add it some maps.Like it pops out of the ground in certain parts of the map like a graboid and chase you or anyone in the area.Or one player gets to be the snake and the other players must kill it with limited ammo,health,armour and weapons.The player who kills the snake will turn into the snake and so on. |

went to SAC today ... i touched a hydrogen bomb ... I also hit it with a hammer
there was a lot of cool stuff there.
Ok, REDFROG ... Goober, sobe, and I decided that Sobe should do the portraits since he has lots of experience with graphics ... is that ok?
Im am in the process of delaying hendrix and masako ... there is some serious editing that needs to be done to make those work. and i haven't got a good audio editor to use yet ... any suggestions?
Edit: SAC is Strategic Air Command ... it was a museaum. |

I got to try out a flight simulator at the museum ... it was pretty cool because it simulated G force and also it would yaw and pitch with the direction of the plane ... at first i was nervous because ive never done it before so i started off at low throttle but after 5 seconds passed an i realize that it wasn't going to make me puke i put the hammer down and did as many loop de loops and barrel rolls as i could ,i also took it up to 70,000 feet and stalled it into a free fall, most of the time i flew inverted spraying the area with my machine gun and infinite supply of missles , then just before my time was up ... i decided to fly the plane into a carrier  .
It was pretty awesome.  (just had to tell someone that )
I was just curious to know if everyone is busy? this thread seems less visited than usual lately and i don't know what everybody is doing and what needs to be done .
... I need to get MSN messager or something Im always out of the loop . |
