Is it possible to siplay multiple colors on hud ani's.

For instance seeing command on the hud like you see him when you start the game in full color:confused:

Go to "HUD Config" in the options section of FS2

No i'm talkin about seeing a black head on the ani a different colored shirt. Like the Freelancer hud when some one is hailing you.

no, he means like seeing the black dude from the main hall, is full color, instead of a solid tint of colour... It would probably require a good amount of coding, because the palette would have to be re-programmed... interesting concept though...

What tools would you need to do something like that?

Perhaps *avi-support for comm-animations can be added.

Another question: Is it possible to relocate the segments of the HUD? I always wanted that for non FS-universe mods so that it gets a different feeling

No, I want the comm menue on the left lower side instead of the right upper side, the target VDU on the right upper side....:ha:

Drag one item to one side the other item to another configure it the way you like that's what i am talking about it
and if only the game had it.

You can change the colors of the HUD segments, but it's impossible to move them.

You wouldn't need AVI support - our ANIs are full colour already. What you need is to produce a colour ANI, then change the way the game renders the HUD - which is as monochrome, tinted to the selected hue. Either that, or you could see what putting in a colour ANI does to the game, since all the HUD ANIs are currently monochrome...

I think it'd be cool to replace the head ani with something along the lines of the simulated speech.  I've seen a program called FaceMail that does a very rudimentiary form of simulating head and mouth movements to match up with speech.  We're probably talking about something a fair distance in the future for our commumity to be able to impliment, but we can dream can't we? :D

Later!

Like I asked before what would you need to change it from monocrome to color?
