Easier HUD editing

Post by Benoz »

Is there some way to make the positioning of the HUDTag for weapons easier than I'm doing now?
Currently I add the weapon in the extraweapons.hud and I have to munge and play the game every time I test something out.
When I see that the positions are not as I like I have to guess which value I have to tweak to make it move to a better position ingame. Munge again and start the game again.

This can't be the same way all the modders make the custom HUDs, right?

personally it's the way I use, but I think I'll try something else when I'll release the final version of my mod.

Unless someone makes a tool for it, this is the way it's done and likely how Pandemic did it.

Just keep the game running and restart the match after you've made a change, ezpz

When i did my rc mod i thought of an helper tool, too.
I thought of a kind of interpreter that gives you a preview of the icon on the screen without munge and SWBF2. But never started the project.
