A fresh and sleek new HUD

[Doq]

Indeed. A rare thing that common sense.

I want to use the melee hud with the newly release 12 stage expansion pack. Which individual files do I need from the info.pac file?

The .msbin containing the changed Song Names. (I believe it's MiscData[120] if not try MiscData[130] but you'll know when you've found it) I believe that's all you need.

I didn't see the update before. Cool.

Do you plan on updating the Melee styled HUD fot 3.0? I love using that one.

Believe it or not, the MiscData[30] in the Info.pac for the Melee styled Hud actually still works for 3.0.

Alright, thanks for letting me know. Thought it wouldn't.

 

[NameChange]

I don't see any uses for these Huds anymore 3.0's just blew them out of the water for me at least
It was good while it was lasted

 

[Dng3]

As much as I like the improvements to 3.0's hud, I still very much prefer this sleek and sexy one.

Please update this with damage fonts going from yellow=>orange=>red!!

Thank you =D.

Really? All you have to do is port the Misc30 into the 3.0 info? I just pulled the whole thing and then I'm pretty sure that it causes the AI to go funny.

The slanted portraits are still the sleekest. I'm very tempted to convert to those over the melee beta with no portraits at all.

As I understand it, the pixel portraits for this that were available, had every character minus ICs? I haven't tested it, yet, is it gonna work?

 

[B.W.]

I had a HUD that had a stock icon with the 4 colored hearts next to it with Melee text. I miss it. Someone bring it back.

 

[GigasOverlord]

Just something that I was wondering, would it be possible to put the damage numbers from the newest 2.6b HUD onto the Melee HUD? That font is super tight, but I tried it earlier and the 0 was smaller than the other numbers. I tried fixing it by resizing in GIMP, but then the black outline didn't fit it anymore.

Or is it possible to just resize the black outline on the numbers?

It very well might do that. I'm not really sure. Though it does allow you to have the HUD. I'm hoping an official version is released soon.

Woo! Just made making clean borders on IA4 images a billion times easier! It turns out that IA4 just swaps the brightness and alpha values, so I wrote a little Java program to swap those values in a grayscale (or nearly-so) bitmap with alpha. Ergo, I can take a PNG file like this:

and turn it into the proper IA4 file to make it look like this in-game! Hooray for one semester of Java!

Is it possible you could share this Java program? Trying to get the outlines in-game is driving me up the wall...

I'll see if I can't write a proper executable written in C++ within a week or so; I never could figure out how to export runnable files in Eclipse.

 

[SAHunterMech]

Hey, thanks!

 

[Jdaster64]

Here's a link to the program; simply put a 24-bit RGB or 32-bit ARGB bitmap file in the same directory and enter the desired file to convert in the program, and it'll spit out a 32-bit ARGB in IA4 format. I forget if BrawlBox likes ARGB bitmaps, so you might have to convert it to a PNG using GIMP or Photoshop or the like. If you want to convert an IA4 image back to standard ARGB, just run the converter on it again, since all it's doing is swapping the intensity and opacity values.

EDIT: Source, for those interested. Should compile right away if you put it in an empty Visual Studio project and change the extension to .cpp. Also, as a fun bonus, if you run the converter on a file, then run it again on the converted file, it converts it to greyscale!

EDIT: Aggh, forgot to account for row padding in 24-bit. Should be fixed now.

Also, Project M 3.0's HUD is amazing, though it slightly bothers me that the numbers are still slanted.

How can I get that awesome sprite-based HUD?

 

[Spoon~]

melee hud best hud, would that need updating for 3.02 since roy/mewtwo

Nope. Shouldn't need it.

 

[Kati]

Yeah melee hud's miscdata 30 fits into 3.02's info.pac without causing trouble.

Is there a way I can get it to have no hud and none of the P1 stuff over the character's heads?

if you're looking for a "no hud" mod, look for some codes for it. Someone has probably made a code that gets rid of the hud. BTW the hud is only for PM 2.5! It probably won't work for versions 3.0 to 3.6. Can't say for sure though.

I tried using this code

No HUD:

• 4A000000 800E08D4
  
  
• 14000000 38A00000
  

No Tags:

• C20E5190 00000002
  
  
• 38800000 90830354
  
  
• 60000000 00000000
  

But, this makes my game just load regular Brawl.

Also, thank you for responding!

Did you add it to your existing codeset or did you make an entirely new one.
If it's the latter, of course it would load brawl; you got rid of the P:M codeset.

I copied my RSBE01 file and then added this code. Sorry if I'm bad at this modding thing. I don't know a how lot about Smash modding. :0
