[HUD] New icons, markers and textures

Post by **dbzao** » 2007-12-24 02:51

In PR v0.7 there will be a bunch of new icons, markers and recolors coming from our R-CONs.

Thanks to [R-CON]Chuc, [R-CON]Geze, [R-CON]AfterDune, [R-CON]AncientMan, [R-CON]Shiftys1023 and others.

Ability icons

All those little icons that explain what the kits have were overhauled.

Landing Zones and Build Order

The Commander will be able to set Landing Zones (LZs) that will be visible to all squads and help the commander transmit his plan. Also the Build Order can be given to squad leaders to build assets for the Commander.

Compass

At the bottom of the screen, the new compass is more useful and visible.

It's going to help vehicle crews communicate a lot better where the enemy is.

Kit icons

All kits have different icons now. You will know exactly what each player in your squad/team is using in the capslock screen or scoreboard.

Loadmaps

All background pictures and loadmaps were updated to be more informative and just plain beautiful

PR's Message Of the Day

Say goodbye to "Highway Tampa"

PR's MOTD will show useful and updated information about PR and other BSS mods.

Vehicle recolors

There were a bunch of updates on vehicle skins and you can check out a few bellow.

There are more updates in this area, so don't forget to check them out when the mod is released

The vehicle skins look awesome. No longer do we have to drive those horrible red station wagons, we can now drive horrible blue station wagons. This will great.

Let me first say the new loading screen for maps is bloody brilliant!

The PLA tank skin is awesome as well, so are the new insurgent vehicles

The new kit loadout is great

The new icons for kits is WONDERFUL I just wish I knew which is which.... *runs to wiki guide*

Great work on the vehicles. Is the "Bomb truck" getting a new one too? It didn't look too "Kabul ghetto" to me. (If it's still in the game, that is)

im drooling over the black technical. and the multi color insurgent cars are awesome. thats something i suggested a while back, and probly others have too. it looks like the insurgents are finally getting some variety back.

"Kit icons

Scoreboard??!!?

So players will still be able to hit Tab to check their kills and magically confirm whether or not they killed an enemy?

Say it isn't so.

Ya know... I was really starting to consider downloading that map...

Fantastic work no less, how exactly does the build order and LZs work anyhow?

Wow, great stuff! I just would like to know more about the new commander/sl orders. Can't wait!!

Raniak · Post by **Raniak** » 2007-12-24 08:02

Awesome, it's one (well, a few) of the things I really couldn't wait to see... now maybe I'll strop dreaming about .7 so much !

Edit: Oh... now that I think about it, I'll only dream about it more...

DavidP · Post by **DavidP** » 2007-12-24 08:16

Dude that looks awesome! Just one suggestion though on the kit names. Instead of Rifleman for both Unscoped and Scoped maybe rename the Second one to "Rifleman Scoped" Or "Rifleman Optics" (Whatever sounds better) to make things clearer for newbies and SL's who tell their squad at the beginning of the round to spawn in as what kit. And I see it says PR .706! Is that the one we're getting or something higher, better even?
