DtK Custom Complete GUI

[[DtK] [Jedi] Krusty Burger]

Hey everyone,

I know I'm not apart of the DtK Dev team, however I've recently begun configuring with the CS:S source files to learn how to create custom content.

Initially I intended to create a personal custom HUD to be used primarily for the Zombie Escape gamemode; which involved altering the HUD Health and Timer to accommodate for large digit values that cannot be properly displayed on the default HUD (e.g. Health with 5 digits or a Time with 4 digits). This then lead to me rearranging the HUD completely and creating my own unique creation which modifies the: Font, Colours, HUD Element positions, Size of HUD elements, Custom HUD Icons, HUD backgrounds, Flash animations and Support for multiplayer plugins.

Whilst playing #3 Office DM today I had the brilliant idea of not only completing my HUD; but creating a Complete GUI that is thematically designed for the DtK community, which will feature a main menu screen with the DtK logo. I haven't fully decided what it will look like or what additional features I would like to implement into the GUI so I thought making a post and gaining feedback from the community will be the best solution for scaffolding how the final product will turn out.

For the time being there are still some minor adjustments I'd like to make before I release the standalone HUD and begin work on the Complete GUI aspects. So once I'm happy with how the standalone HUD looks I will release it to you guys to use and have fun with. This will also be a great opportunity for feedback, because the current state of the HUD is in no way shape or form confirmed to be how the final product will appear.


Here are some screenshots of how the HUD appears at the moment:

HUD in default state


Timer with 4 digits and Ammo with 4 digits


Health with 5 digits


Health flashes and turns blue permanently when damaged


Timer flashes red when time runs out, Health flashes red and fades in and out similarly



Let me know what you guys think, feedback is greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Krusty

Yes if that's what you guys would like, then I'll change it back.

Would you prefer the original purple/blue, or would you prefer this pink shade instead of the purple, or would you like 2 different colours altogether?

Btw once I have completed the GUI I will happily change the colours for individuals to match your favourite 2 colours if you'd like.

Well I was going by what a few others were saying....That they love the glow effect but want to keep the two colours but with the glow effect.



But personally I love what ever change you make to the GUI and im happy to apply any of them

After waiting yonks (sorry for the delay), I'm happy to share the newest update of the DtK GUI!

I've edited the icons on the left hand side which look much cleaner and nicer now. Some other changes have been made but I won't go into specifics unless you'd like to know.

*** UPDATE ***

Changes:

• Fixed scoreboard issue where you couldn't see the full map name
• Server name has been relocated to the center at the top of the scoreboard
• Darkened the scoreboard background colour slightly

I also plan to fix the glitch where the server info doesn't show up in the center before you press okay when you join the server.

You done it again Krusty!!!! Im loving the slighty darker background, makes it slighty easier to read the scoreboard

There was a glitch?

Yeah well at least for me. When you join the server there should be server info in the middle of the screen before you click "okay", but for some reason the info is buggy and doesn't appear properly.



It's a very minor problem and I don't need to fix it but I reckon I'll try and get around to it.
