[dreammyw0w]

*UPDATE 1 : Made the BLUE TITLE on the scoreboard a bit more readable.
**UPDATE 2 : Added DEAD or ALIVE/HEALTH indicators on the scoreboard.
***UPDATE 3 : Increased the transparency of the background.

Hi,
I wasn't comfortable with the design of the scoreboard and HUD.
So I designed a new scoreboard and HUD. Do you like it?

NEW : http://www.imgdumper.nl/uploads6/5117e3 ... eboard.jpg


CURRENT NADEO : http://www.imgdumper.nl/uploads6/5116ee ... ardold.jpg


------------------

Changes from TOP to BOTTOM// LEFT to RIGHT:

VOTES:
-You can actually read the vote now, because I removed the storm logo & (FPS, PING,SNAP) was moved to the right.


SCOREBAR:
-Changed/Centered the text on the scorebar.
+Added "VS" on the shield on the score bar. The shield was empty first. ( needs improvement)


EXTRA INFORMATION:
-FPS, PING, SNAP & AUDIO was moved to the right + correct alignment.
This is now more readable because sometimes VOTES + The Storm logo would overlap.
Also I removed the mapname + creator and put it on the scoreboard instead.


PLAYERNAMES( left & right of the screen)
-Removed REDSHIELD+Text "Red" & Removed BLUEShield+Text "Blue" above playernames because this is OBVIOUS & can be seen on the scorebar.
- Every player has a default avatar. ( or your custom avatar/flag if you have one )


SCOREBOARD :
+Added images to the BLUE & RED team. ( needs improvement)
+Added DEAD or ALIVE/HEALTH Indicators. ( The lights next to your name )
--> no light = that player is dead.
--> The attacker has 3 lights. If he takes a hit 1 light will turn off.
-Correct alignment/centered of BLUE & RED team title.
-Changed text color of BLUE & RED team title to white.
-Removed the BIG ATTACKER NAME. ( read the next line )
-The player attacking gets a BLUE or RED background.
-Every player has a default avatar or flag or custom avatar.
-Increased fontsize of Playername & Scores. This is the most important.
-Decreased fontsize of "Points to win" & "Pointlimit"
-Increased fontsize of "Longest Laser"
+Added the MAPNAME + status ( official or custom ) + Mapcreator
+Added SnapDelta for convenience
+Added icons ( needs improvement)


NOTIFICATIONS :
-Nothing has changed


CHAT :
+Teamchat = white + [TEAM]-indicator
Chat = yellow
--> 100% more easy to read.

---------------------------------------

I honestly think this is better ( and it could be even better )
If you agree , then leave a comment with +1
If you dont agree, then leave a comment and tell us why & I'll see what I can do.

Who knows Nadeo might use some of our suggestions.

Lot of work, but is this really this important?

I can't tell I prefer the one or the other, both look good.

In yours the gray is a bit to bright though. Anyway I like the simpler design of the opponents display you did

I made it transparent.
Do you have a new opinion now ?

[TMarc]

Hehe, indeed better

I like it more than the current design, but it can still use a little work.
For example, the design on the "blue" area when you press tag kind of makes it hard to read the team name.

In general, I prefer your design. But how are people supposed to tell the difference between team chat and general chat when they encounter it for the first time? It's like "what? why is this message white whilst all the others yellow".

White "blue" inscription is hard to read on blue-white background of yours.

Now we have ">" to tell the difference between chat & teamchat & that is even worse! But you are right so I added the [TEAM]-indicator. What do you think now?

The images are probably the baddest element of my design, but this is only a suggestion. I could have made the images look a bit cooler. Im not saying these should be the final images. & Indeed , the white is not so readable. I changed the image, what do you think now?

I have to say that I do like your design more than the one currently on ManiaPlanet!
I only doubt if NADEO is going to change the interface... but you can always try

Great work anyway!

Thx man! And i didnt change that much
The size & borders of the scoreboard are the same.
What I mostly did was reposition some stuff & delete things that werent necessary & move some things around.
This shouldnt be to hard for Nadeo to do if they would say yes.

Use the poll , if u like it!

I think it's a good idea to have 2 differents colors for chat.
FPS is shorter than FRAMERATE and it's great.

Both look good but the old one can be upgraded for sure, continue like that !
