[Mod] SciFi HUD

[ashley]

New with 0.11 is the SciFi HUD alternate theme for the in-game overlays! It features the same basic features in a smaller package and a minimalist, futuristic style inspired by popular science fiction.

Installation
On the main menu, press "Add Mod", find the "SciFi HUD" mod, and press "Install". If you accidentally hide the mod manager or need to access it while in-game (it hides automatically when a session starts), move your mouse to the left side of the client and click in the highlighted region with the arrow.

Features
The SciFi HUD currently features a statistics tab and three HUD sizes, with more components to come.

Stats Tab
The Stats Tab's primary function is showing detailed session stats as well as a large list of recent kill and death events on-demand with a keypress, by default bound to [`] (usually located above the Tab key). It features color-coded elements, a background that subtly changes based on current faction, and a customizable logo in the corner.

Configuration
To configure what image is used for the branding of the overlays, click the "Stats Tab" or the Normal and Small sizes of the "SciFi HUD" components and "Configure". Press the "[...]" button and navigate to the file path of the image you'd like to use. A set of preloaded logos is included in the "Branding" folder. For easy access, copy and paste your own images into this folder so you can quickly navigate to them later on.

1. What are the inspirations for the aesthetic style?

The main inspirations are 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Alien (1979), and Moon (2009). All three make heavy use of Eurostile Bold Extended as a typeset, with a minimalist off-white text scheme.

good stuff! great job as always ash!

[ThatTTK]

Looks good, is it possible to have certain sections hidden?

[ashley]

If that's a serious question about the mod and not the placeholder post :P then which parts did you want hidden?

[ThatTTK]

Damnit I went too deep, it was a joke.

[Killjaden]

Ash hid the whole thing just for you TTK

[ashley]

Sheesh. It's all put together now for your perusal. Next time I'll only make the placeholder thread closer to the point where it's ready .

Features:
-Fonts no longer need to be installed manually. They will automatically load in with no user input required, and will not modify your system files. They are now contained in the mod folder under "Fonts" if you wish to use them elsewhere, for example to make custom branding images consistent in theme.
