[T1 Release] NEW weaponHud!

Okay, as I promised, here is a new weaponHud.

1) Currently it only works vertically! I have tried horizotally, it worked fine but the ammo numbers were really hard to get aligned with the icons without making the script really untidy. I figured that horizontal would look crap anyways :P
2) The icons aren't all that flash. The ones included are just re-makeskinned versions of the default Tribes ones with no background, this doesn't make them fully visible on all maps etc. Sorry, but I have had a bit of pressure to just release the script, so icons haven't been too high on the priority list.
3) I have included an armour icon to show which armour you are in, something the default weaponHud doesn't do. If you really dispise it I can add an option to remove it.
4) It updates every 0.1 seconds by default. This causes no lag on my computer, but on slower computers using software mode it may cause a slowdown, I'm sorry, but there is no other way of doing it. There is a option for update time, but the higher you make it the more lag there will be in updating the hud.
5) As far as I know it should work with any script pack. I can't garauntee this, but I am working on supporting as many scripts as possible. You will need events and schedule etc for it to run properly.
6) This script only supports BASE weapons, I don't script for mods, and I don't plan to add support for them. "If you have an issue, here's a tissue"

If you want to make your own icons for the hud please read the enclosed readme in the zip.
If you do make any icons be sure to release them!

I did say I was going to make a Viking 4.0 version. If some crazy Viking fan wants to make some huds for it then I can't stop them. But at the moment a Viking 4 version IMO would look best horizontal, if someone can give me some Viking 4 designs that would look good vertical then I would be happy to do it.

This script hasn't been strenuosly tested, so if you have any problems please tell me.

Yes, I know, the icons are bodgey!

somebody get more pics up

oh and i dont really need a use for an armor icon
it just takes up extra space imho, some might though

I just modified it with an armour icon toggle. Just set the option to true or false inside the .cs file.

I also updated the armour icons to be transparent.

Okay
If you get this script working can you please post what config you are running?
If you run Stripped or Presto don't worry because I have tested both and they work fine.
Viking and z0dd seem to have a few little problems. I may have fixed Viking but still working on z0dd.

I'll update it when I get support for these four major packs. I you are having any probs please pm with details of your setup.

u legend cyc! gw with the scripting :bigthumb:

presto. runs fine here

Update!
Added the 3 different versions depending on your script setup.

Anyone thinking of making this script useful by making some decent icons?

cyc dude sarca made weapon hud colourful 3d icons not long ago...Heres (http://www.tribalwar.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1 67430) linky to thread

Yes I know. However, the 'Off' icons still look highly bland.

very true cyc...sarca is there any way of them to look like that the whole time? like i mean if the weapon is selected or unselected?
