[REQUEST] Moar info HUD (miHUD)

[PeanutButterEater]

If I knew anything about coding/modding, I'd do it myself. But I don't, and I'm lazy.

 

What I'm looking for (and hoping it's possible) is to make the HUD not useless by adding various different kinds of information to what pops up on the screen. For example, the type of ammo for the currently equipped weapon could be displayed underneath the ammo counter. If the weapon uses none, then nothing will be displayed.

 

Another idea would be to have what materials an item could be used for and display the magnifying glass if you're searching for that or not (tagged for search at workbenches). A made a few mock-up images for this. (Scrap parts probably aren't accurate. Hopefully we all get the gist though.) I also re-sized the images so that they would fit because I guess I can't do "= 800x450" here.

 

Image One: Loose Item information || This would display what this item could be scrapped for and how many you would get of that to the right of the item.

Image Two: Floating Menu information || This would display what an item could be scrapped for and how many you would get of that for the highlighted item to the top right of the menu box.

I'm sure who chooses to do so will have more ideas and things to add onto if they decide to make it. In that case, feel free to. If you don't like the name, change that too. I only put that so it'd be easier to Google search.

 

Leave a reply to this thread with what you think and/or suggestions.

 

Thanks in advanced!
