[HUD skin] Shield Bar

[EchoRanger449]

This uses Hawaiian Pig's Halo 2 Hud- it replaces the shield bar and moves the Health bar and the shield bar right about the motion sensor. As with the original hud, you are free to use this HUD in your mod, just make sure to give Hawaiian Pig, his team, and me credit.


One more thing- Just focus on the health and shield bars: I messed with the other HUD elements in some of the screenshots,, so don't let that alarm you.

Instructions are listed in the download file. You need a ppf file opener and HMT to use this skin.***

You don't need to install HP's Halo 2 Hud to get what you see here.

If you vote, please remember that I am referring to the shield bar, not the overall HUD.

Not bad,but it seems a little boxy.More pics would be nice.

Actually, what I did was I drew over the outline of the real Halo 2 bar. Mine is a little softer because I had to scale it. However, you want more pics? I'll see what I can come up with.


Also, you see the animation for the bar- it works like the real thing!

You know the solid symbol next to the shield bar that turns on or off whenever the shield does? I tied that in with the "shield symbol" so it behaves like the actual shield bar. I even got it to charge the other direction to make it look right.

Oh, sorry about that, forgot the prefix

*Fixed.

To use this shield bar as it was meant to be, you'll need to do several things:

1.) download Hawaiian Pig's Halo 2 HUD.
2.) Download this attachment. Open it and inject it into the bitmaps tag at
ui\hud\bitmaps\combined\hud_unit_meters
3.) Go to the [unhi] tag (make sure you have Phenomena's plugins). under ui\hud\cyborg, input these values:
SPB Anchor Offset- x 514
SPB Anchor Offset- y 372

SPM Anchor Offset- x 521
SPM Anchor Offset- y 372

HPM Anchor Offset- x 542
HPM Anchor Offset- y 365

Do i inject the HUD download here or Hawaiian Pig's

[EchoRanger449]

Download Hawaiian Pig's HUD, apply the PPF, THEN add on mine. Sorry, I'll clarify that in the first post.

Okay... I don't have my HUD like yours are you sure you didn't do anything else? Cause the white outline is still in the same shape as Hawaiian Pig's HUD no difference. Dude add this to the subject title "[Mod]

[EchoRanger449]

Drat! you're right! I totally forgot the white outline!

ui\hud\bitmaps\combined\hud_unit_backgrounds

I need to fix the first two and I'll post them

It doesn't look anything like the Halo 2 hud, exept for the shield bar.

[EchoRanger449]

For everyone who downloaded this HUD, I am very sorry it took so long to update this. The new HUD is a little cleaner. I will upload it shortly. Also, this hud only replaces HP's shield HUD. I also moved the healthbar down with it to make it look better.

Read the title "[PC]Halo 2 (more realistic) shield bar" repeat SHIELD BAR not full HUD dude trust me i cant even make the whitle outline cause i don't know how! Too make it look more like the Halo 2 Shield bar erase the health bar/meter, if you can't tell me and i'll do it.

NOTE: I PLAY LOTS OF HALO 2 XBOX WITH MY FRIEND GREGORY VANHORNE (LIKE 50 TIMES - I DONT HAV HALO 2) AND I'M A HALO GEEK LOL

I just updated it again. However, there are a few minor alignment glitches to solve. Hopefully I'll get them solve in the next update.

Also, I know this seems a little off topic, but does anyone know how to get it so that both grenade types can show? I can move them around, I just can't make them both show at the same time.

Don't think it's possible but at the same time i think you can. I doubt u can show 2 grenade HUDs just by modding cause you press "G" to switch and it pop-ups up the other - in one little sentence; I think they're just one grenade HUD display. I made my own shield HUD here is the link: [gotta post it!]

[EchoRanger449]

Once again I'm sorry it took so long. download the new and final shield bar.

Oh, sorry Echo, the bar looks pretty good.

[Andrew_b]

hmm...your bar is off centered with the radar just fyi

[EchoRanger449]

The new one or the old one? I didn't show the newest screenshots in the post.

[Andrew_b]

the one with the picture...the bar was off centered

[EchoRanger449]

Well I don't know if it is off center with the Halo 2 radar, but with the original radar, it seems perfectly aligned, I think.

[Andrew_b]

ok now you have new pics to make me sound like an idiot, yeah that one is aligned perfectly, if not, very close.
