What do you want your HuD to look like?

[Askis]

Id like an open source HUD editor so people could download and change theirs as to how they like it. I can do that with alot of games already.

Care to name a few of these?
I don't know a single one...

Color coded weapon groups. Out of the corner of my eye i want to be able to tell that my missiles are still reloading but my Gauss Rifle is once again ready to rock. I want to be able to see that without looking at it.

And this?

No they are not color coded, but around the reticule it shows which weapon groups are loaded and in range of what you are looking at.

unless im mistaken no....the 6 groups around the reticul show weapon is in range ,, not if the weapon is ready to fire again.

correct me if im wrong , but yes...i often have to throw a wasted glance  to the top right corner of my monitor to seee if my CUAC20 is ready  , if a weapons group is destroyed..the HUD reticul shouls show red to show that the weapons groups is gone or out of ammo ..would be handy.

Shows both. If it is out of range but not reloaded it is grey. If it is not reloaded but out of range it is grey. If it is both it is grey. If it is both in range and reloaded it is green.

What I'd like for the cockpit isn't visual but audible. More Betty!

Yeah, in fact I wrote a long response on how I think the cockpit experience could be improved by better audio cues ... and then decided this wasn't the thread for it LOL.

Only so long as it doesn't tilt the level playing field too much.   Ie customization but not complete redos.

Sorry folks, but AFAIK HUD editors are not possible.
And even if by some miracle it would be possible - it would still cost tons of effort. Unneeded effort.

Something future-styled, definitely nothing like MW4 interface.
What I'd like to have are some indicators next to crosshair - heat most importantly, but also perhaps reload progress of currently selected weapon (not weapon group, but weapon - the one you switch between with up/down arrows). This would give me a chance for optimal weapon usage (now looking at top-right part of the screen during combat isn't very practical...)
I'd also love to have radar locations re-thought, perhaps also make it a little bit bigger.

What I would like NOT to see is:
Different radar colour for unpiloted Mech
Custom outlines of enemy tanks/mechs instead of the generic one
Zoom only zooms in a central square within your HUD, not the whole window

^ So the things that essentially make people use their eyes less than the radar.

Darn, before the old forums went pop i thought someone had replied to this and said it was possible but we seem to have lost the post. Am I losing my mind?
