Unatco born doesn't feature a new HUD, does it?
At least the screenshots here ( http://unatcoborn.deusexgaming.com/ub1/levels.php ) don't seem to have a new HUD.

Also, I don't really see what's wrong with the current HUD (except perhaps outdated images). If it ain't broke, don't fix it I would say ;)

Those ones do. Not sure I'm a fan myself, but it's nice they're doing someting different. :)

well, if you think about it, the HUD in deus ex looks pretty tacky, but the ones in UNATCO Born look sooooooooooo much better!

I thought so too. But I think fender2k1 (or someone else on the mod team) has (re)made it himself in DX1. I agree it looks nicer, but I don't think it is necessary for a HDTP feel.

But if someone has much time on their hands, go ahead, make evil_leprechaun's day 8)

It takes away from the grungy feel of DX, one of the things I hated most about IW was it was like a mr Sheen comercial DX is dark not freaking glowing.

I didnt know it was the old DX:IW hud, mainly because my copy wouldnt work and then it broke on me :( *end sob story*
But anyway i still think it needs to be changed a bit, and i didnt mean taking it off unatco born, just a bit of a difference would look nice! ;)

I already tried to mod the hud.. It'd take too long to do it right now in HDTPs plans. (i tried it for feasiblity sake) Well some of the HUD will need to be redone, due to the new HDTP models causing inconsistancies with the images. I doubt there will be time to take the HUD mods further though.. Many would see it as pointless, I'm starting to agree. Lets focus on getting phase 1 and 2 out, we can bicker about the hud towards the end of the project.

The only thing we could consider would be to make it more richer. Appart from that anything else would detract it from the original style - something we want to avoid.
