The first addition to the new HUD will be the Radar. Eventually every feature in the HUD will be remade, and new features will be added. We'll keep you updated on those as they are worked on.

The new Radar will have an overview of the entire map. Buildings, Vehicles, Base Defences, Walls, Infantry, and even elevations will be visible on your radar. As you move across the map, the overview on the radar will follow you as well, keeping you at the center. Units moving in the game will also move on the Radar.

Zooming in and out is also supported by the new Radar. It can zoom anywhere between 60 and 150 meters from the ground(60 being the minimum, 150 being the maximum). However, as you zoom out, you will lose some details on the Radar. Zooming in will result in more detail, of course.

Here is an example of what's completed so far. Keep in mind the objects in the Radar at the moment are only temporary, and will later be replaced(The background with the real map overviews, ect..). The old radar will obviously not be there either, along with the rest of that HUD.

All of this has been coded by Silent Kane, and he is still adding more features to it as well.

Great idea to have added in. Look forward to seeing the end product as the testing phase doesnt look that eye pleasing. How will you be able to control the ability to zoom in and out?

Zoom is controlled by pressing keys.

And I just need to finish my 3ds max plugin to render decent top views.

I think that's a pretty good idea, but with all the other expansions on the original game (IE increased polygon counts, larger textures), I'm starting to get a bit worried about performance of the game. I've already heard a lot of people say that their computers perform worse in Renalert than they do in renegade.

Sweet! Will the radar rotate to which direction you are facing? It would make it easier to navigate around terrain. Or, you could have an arrow on the radar showing which way you are facing.

And? The system specifications were raised 40%, you shouldn't be running on a god damned TNT card anymore with just 128 MB of RAM.

To get a good gaming experience in RA, the minimum requirements are a 1.25 GHz processor, Intel or AMD, with a graphics card that carries at least 64 MB of RAM and is above the level of a GeForce 4 MX. You'll also want at least 256 MB of RAM. If you don't meet those requirements, you're probably going to have framerate problems.

I run fine with 512 MB of DDR, FX 5200 graphics, and a 2.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor.

Ren Alert runs alright I guess. I'm certainly glad they're making the visual enhancements, but they seem to be pushing the W3D engine past where it can go. The fact that I get on average a somewhat better FPS with Far Cry and Doom 3 is pretty odd. It's pretty clear that on the graphics to performance ratio RA doesn't perform nearly as well as newer games, but they're doing the best they can with the engine. But whatever, my computer still handles it more than well enough, so it's not a big deal to me.

The radar looks nice and should help gameplay a good bit, gives the players a much better reason to protect the Radar Dome now.

He has a Radeon 9800 Pro, not a TNT, just in case you meant he has one.

I run fine too, but it does indeed run quite slower than Renegade. I have 512MB DDR, FX 5600 256mb, and an Athlon XP 2600+ (2.1ghz).

I was told you don't add VIS your levels, was that person wrong?

Oh sh*t.

Time to finally purge that GeForce 2, I suppose.

Oh well, needed a new one for Half-Life 2, anyways.

Specification-wise I'm fine, but I want to see the final version of the HUD before making any comments on it.

I suck cock and love it... absolutely love it. And I just got banned for being too immature to be allowed to post here.

That's my fault, for some reason it was linked to editing that game update post, and of course it would only work if you had access to do that Wink . All fixed now.

Keep in mind that I have all settings turned on and up to high. I'm also running at 1024x768 resolution in-game.

My average fps in RenAlert is usually 50 - 85 fps. On some DM levels I would reach 90 - 120 fps. I'm not saying I run slow, I'm just saying I run the same speed in Renegade but in high player games, but that was kind of the point. I guess I'm fine.
