Jimmarn Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Hello, i know there was a topic on this a while ago but i couldn't find it so i decided to make a new one, plus we got more info about it now. In this topic i thought i'd make a picture of how i think the hud will be, based on different information that I'll quote. Icons in the upper-right corner of the screen still display the player's equipped weapon and money, but they are reduced in size, subdued to blacks, grays and whites, doing as little as possible to distract the player's eyes. Health is represented by a green semi-circle on the left side of the radar, and a right semi-circle represents armour. You can restore health by resting, by using medical kits, and by eating. When you commit a crime, and a police officer has spotted you. Your radar will be flashing red and blue. With a circle called "The search area", when you leave this area the police will abort trying to find you. But if you're spotted trying to leave the area within the circle, the circle will move along you for as long as you're still being followed. The more wanted level you'll gain, the larger this "Search Area" becomes. If you’re trying to exit the search area and are spotted by a police officer then the search area will re center it self and you have to try and escape all over again. There is a GPS system in the car, and the recommended route shows up in yellow on the radar at the bottom left of the screen. The more "expensive" cars have better GPS systems than poor ones. The high end cars also have GPS systems that actually talk aswell. The Information of your location will be shown in lower right. The last source i can't find, so I guess it's not 100% sure. Here is my picture. (Updated) (Link to the old one v1) (Link to the old one v2) An animation of the map. My Phone attempt, It's only the first attempt so it might change. You are welcome to try out yourself, but i would be glad if you would resize the pictures to atleast 720 x 540 with the online resizer before posting. Online Picture Re-Sizer It's not that hard, just follow theese steps. 1. Browse to find your picture. 2. select the size [720 x 540] 3. Press OK 4. Right Click the image that appears. 5. Save it and upload somewhere to get it on the forums. Thank you. If you upload with imageshack you have the option to resize there aswell. If you want to link a resized picture to a bigger one like i did just simply use this code. [img=www.your_link.com/to_the_resized_pic_here.jpg] Here is a link to screenshots of GTA IV GTA IV Screenshots Edited March 31, 2008 by Jimmarn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil112 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Jimmarn's HUD: http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u162/ji...20IV/TheHUD.jpg Nice hud, maybe the street names could be less, clean, I don't know really they just look weird. EDIT: I know i've just went and said how bad a thing was that could be easily changed, the whole HUD looks really good.

EDIT: I know i've just went and said how bad a thing was that could be easily changed, the whole HUD looks really good. Thanks, i thought they might go for a cleaner font this time, For GTA III they had this very bold font, Vice city a 80's font (Called script?) and in San andreas some Gangster type of font. But thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nezzar Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 apperantly on one of the pictures posted, the wanted level stars is at the top right corner(over the weapon picture) not sure, and i cant find the pic oO (its a pic where niko is arrested by 2 cops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfo Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Best HUD attempt yet, looks perfect, the Location font doesn't fit too well, but that is a pro guess, VERY good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfreed Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 WOW.. really nice job.. very well done. Is it just me, or does that pic make you really really really really, want to play GTAIV?? I think I just officially got excited.. hahahaha.. ok maybe a little bit of overkill there, but it looks good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmarn Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 apperantly on one of the pictures posted, the wanted level stars is at the top right corner(over the weapon picture) not sure, and i cant find the pic oO (its a pic where niko is arrested by 2 cops) I know wich you mean... but you don't actually see the weapon thing, there might be a code rockstar uses to remove different stuff from the hud, and they forgot to remove the wanted stars. So if it's over or under i don't know. my sence told me it was under though... can post a pic with it ower if you'd like Maby with the money too? Thank you guys, yes it maby does make you want to play the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alb-mac Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The HUD you made looks AWESOME! I feel as if the place where the gun, money, and wanted stars are, would be smaller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californian Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) That's pretty good. I like that you added the bulletholes. Your missing two things, though. -You didn't add the cop infront of you on your radar. -The radar isn't flashing red and blue. Yes, the 'Search Circle' is red (and probably going to change blue), but the factsheet says the Radar, not the Search Circle. It looks cool, just like I imagined it myself.

You're rite, that is a little too small BUT Rockstar might use fonts that are easy to read and either way, the HUD you made is amazing. I've fallen in love. If you hadn't said you made it, I would probably think it's actual game play. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icons in the upper-right corner of the screen still display the player's equipped weapon and money, but they are reduced in size, subdued to blacks, grays and whites, doing as little as possible to distract the player's eyes.

Great work hmm, i don't think it'll flash constant, and if i animate it it'll loose quality. The cop in front i actually didn't see gonna fix that right away.

Don Garcia aka NjNakedSnake Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Like everyone else said, great work. Looks very close to what I pictured in my head. My only gripes are the way the money looks, just seems wierd, and the the look of the street name. I'm sure it'll be smaller, perhaps italicized, and more in the corner.

Blindfutur3 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Brilliant HUD mate, i think the Street Name should like these in Burnout Paradise, maybe a little smaller, either at the top, or in the bottom right corner like you have it! Edit: Dont think it should stick on screen though, just show for a few secs when you turn into a new road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA_Godfather Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) When I read "the radar will flash blue and red", I think only the border (360º) around the radar will flash - alternating between colors with .5 seconds for each. Or maybe R* could have alternate the blue and red borders between the right and left (180º each). I think it would be too annoying and distracting if the whole radar map area or search radius were flashing blue and red. This way it doesn't adversely affect the armor/health meters or the visible map area. Wouldn't that make the most sense? Edit: Oh, another thing. I'd like to see the street name under the radar (in a relatively small font staying on all the time). I was wondering about this. IF you have the street names at the bottom right, where would R* put the area name on the display, like if you leave Broker and enter Algonquin? Where would car names go? I'm thinking bottom center, so that it doesn't interfere with the other info on the display. If you get a call on your cell do you get an icon or something on the display too? If so, where do you put it....top left, maybe? Radio stations....top center, perhaps? These are all things to consider.
