Title: Change 3D HUD color and resize 2d
Post by Hanimichal on Feb 17th, 2013 at 10:26pm
Hello all

In the Bear Studios J-11B (Flanker B) I have added 3d HUD in the VC but is very dark in compared with the 2d version
And the same 2d HUD in VC is very big in Locked Spot view

1- how can I change the color or add more brightness in the 3d HUD
2- how to change the 2d HUD  dimension in Locked Spot view without losing their size in VC
The images below explain by itself:

1 - I think that the color of the 3D HUD is controlled within the gauge file (CSWeapon.dll), so I don't think you can modify it. :(

2 - I think the only way you could resize the 2D HUD for the exterior view would be to make a 2nd 2D HUD window in the panel.cfg. Like this:

[Window Titles]
Window00=Weapon Control Panel
Window01=HUD
Window02=HUD Glass
Window03=GPS
Window04=Exterior HUD

[Window04]
Background_color=0,0,0
no_luminous=1
size_mm=400, 400 <- Reduce the size from 400, 400 to something smaller
position=4
child_3d=0
visible=0
window_size=0.380, 0.600
ident=10902 <- This one can't be the same as the one in [Window01] or it causes problems. I'm not sure if it will work if you change it though
zorder=1 <- This needs to be changed too. I think.
gauge00=CSWeapon!hud2d, 0, 0, 400, 400 <- Make sure that the last two sets of numbers mach the size_mm= entry

If you don't use the 2D HUD when in the VC, then just change the [Window01] to suit yourself for when in an exterior view. ;)

Markoz,

the suggested Window 04 don't work any way
And yes I have use the 2D HUD in the VC to help me when I can't view the weak color of 3D HUD, and if no change for the 3D HUD I will continue to use it

However thanks for try to help
