H.E.V. HUD Initializing sequence

Black Mesa Archive Suggestion Box
#21

Ya! :smiley: And if someone think about that, no I’m not mean player have to stand still. It will be just nice HUD effect for, like above, make Initialization less boring

#22

These are the kinds of suggestions the BM developers need.

#23

What do you suppose they would do for multiplayer?

Would you start out with the suit and when something happens the cooresponding icon flashes in or out?

Example: all ammunition is depleted and the ammuniton bar goes away (but again that wouldnt make much sense because if you start out in single player with 0000 ammuntion then why would you go to nothing in multiplayer instead of reading 0000)

EDIT: I cant really come up with any examples for other icons, its been awhile sense ive played half life.

#24

The DM HUD should be the same as the HLDM HUD, just instantly there, with no intro sounds.

#25

In multi just ALL things could appear like I said before but in the same while, not one by one with just “Welcome to the H.E.V. Mark IV Protecting System” and eventually “System Initialized” text on center or in chat. This includes cool symbols flashing and filling Health bar to 100 %
Also thanks to moderator for deleting my weird posts :slight_smile: but something happened to my last message

#26

It’s a very good idea.

In Multiplayer, the sequence was shortened (I believe) to “Welcome to the HEV Mark Four Protective System. For use in Hazardous Environment Conditions.” Though I could be wrong here.

#27

I don’t remember the suit saying anything at all, but I could be completely wrong.

#28

I don’t remember now either, but the suit does talk to you when you’re injured so having it talk when you put it on wouldn’t be too bad.

#29

It does talk to you.

“Welcome to the H.E.V. Mark IV protective system… blah blah blah”

#30

Never mind, I got ninja’d

#31

This is true. As for the HEV single player logon, I’d be happy with a simple loading graphic on the HUD for a few seconds and then an awesome noise when it engages.

Other than that, I would just like the voice logon to be about 90% shorter than the original.

#32

But could be, at least if on map you are starting without suit, and then have to get it.

Are you crazy?! Logon sound was best thing in H.E.V., it was presenting all vital functions for use in hazardous environment conditions. And if it won’t appear or will be shorted in BM, this mod wouldn’t be complete. btw about deleting functions in BM: Deleting GravGun and other HL2 weapons from code (it can’t be spawned throught console) wasn’t good idea. I would be glad to mess with new weps in hl1 world, after I’ll end it.

#33

Though I am be wrong

#34

This is a great suggestion which I hope is at least considered by the devs.

#35

Thanks for all which think like you :3

#36

In MP, you always start with the suit. Otherwise it’s SP.

#37

it’d look really smart and professional in my books, im behind this one.

#38

Yup, it’s a good suggestion. One that’s come up once a month since day one (I suggested it myself a year or so ago). And with less than three months left in development, either the devs already did it or it isn’t gonna happen. Also, this thread has a pretty serious cockroach infestation :fffuuu:

#39

So you had idea like this first, ya? However, it’s good, if more people agree with this idea. And about cockroaches… men are created equal :slight_smile: Only devs are above us, cuz they have code, resources and tools.
Edit: And even cockroach can have good idea as you see :wink:

#40

Never remember seeing it. Most likely it’s just you that’s thought of something similar and are just peeved that it hasn’t got attention.
