<div class="IPBDescription">a giger·esque remix of the original</div> after many revisions and several tedious hours in photoshop, i finally pieced together this remix of the alien HUD. i used pictures of h.r. giger's (<i>alien</i> design artist) sculptures and airbrush pieces for reference, photoshop to draw it out, and sprwiz to package it all up. i think it turned out fairly decent, although im not completely in love with that <i>hiveinfo</i> sprite, and i might rewerk it later...

    Very nice! The res and energy bars are hawt!

    Would it be asking too much to get this in the default colors? I'd really like that - but if it's too much trouble there's no need to bother with it.

    heh, thnx. ill fix that here in just a sec. <i>on·topic</i>: appreciate the compliments. im pleased with the way it came out, but i hate the fact that the chamber icon is so close to that hiveinfo sprite. however, ive redone it like 3 times now, and am really just sick of looking at it for the time being...

    i hear ya. i know an <i>alien</i> theme isnt everyone's cup·o·tea, but it is just a HUD after all. i dont think it would look that terrible on it's own if you didn't want to pair it with other <i>alien</i> styled replacements, although the colors dont match up with any of the default models that well, heh...

    Looks good, but when I looked at the sprites, aren't they really inaccurate? Like when it's full, I don't think you'll see the 'fullness' and if you use energy, it won't show. I'll have to try that out later, unless someone else feels like doing that <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    to shaz: yes, i hid some of the top of the bars under the design, so it takes a few bites or whatever to get it to start to lower. it also takes a decent amount res for it to start to show on the left bar, but i made these for aesthetic value - especially considering NS has your resources labeled on·screen with text anyway. the energy bar has some of the top hidden, as i've said, but when it hits empty, you can see it.

    Awesome work there lotus, i'm a fan of your sprites, they are all totally top notch.
    Even though i'm not a big aliens fan for NS, i'm still in love with these, although a little customised to suit my traditional 'kharaan' look to things. I also changed how they function a little as I do like the idea of having closely accurate bars.

    The black texture makes it really really easy to recolour too.
    Great work man, appreciated alot!

    @<b>MrSocks</b>: got those teeth from an AvP model pack on NSArmslabs.com. i reskinned them myself... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    @<b>Sykotic</b>: yes, i tried to keep the palette simple so that they wouldn't be too hard for others to edit to their liking, though i was having issues when i tried importing certain shades of green... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Those teeth are outdated by the way, I did a newer model pack with transparency effects and a few anim fixes.

    Again I ask - what about a Queen sprite to replace the hive sprite?

    can i perhaps get linkage to your newer pack...? and about the hive sprite: yeah, ill try to dig up the .zip of that older pack and see what it looks like. taking into consideration the palette and how that sprite looks, ill try to get a remix up relatively soon...

    <b>edit</b>: i looked up your thread about that <i>Aliens</i> pack, but the newest release i could find was from October of 2003... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    that just made the carpal tunnel syndrome i developed werking on that HUD <i>so</i> worth it. seriously though, thnx necrosis. i appreciate the trouble you went through to help me out-

    to elaborate further on the discussion shaz and i were having: it takes 15 resources for the first pixel of blue to appear on the resource bar, and it appears full at roughly 87. originally the bars were longer and more 'accurate,' but text and chamber icons began overlapping them, and i wasn't happy with the way it looked. it was after some deliberation that i and a few others decided the look was worth that small discrepancy-
