Updated Huds for Justified classes and Vanilla MM8BDM

[cybersavior]

- - - - - - UPDATED - - - - - - AGAIN - - - - - -

There is now a version of this mod for vanilla MM8BDM

Pretty Huds-v1 (download link at the bottom)

and of course

There are two versions of this minimod for Justified Classes, one with highlights and one without

Through both graphical editing, and translation changes made within the texture files themselves, I have recolored all the huds for all of the copyweps, slides and dashes for Megaman, Protoman and Bass as well as the Megaman powerup weapons, for use with Justified classes as a minimod. There is a more extensive info in the readme.

To use these files, all you need to do is decide which one you want, download it, and just add it after "justified classes".

If you wish to incorporate any of my work in any other project, just give me a heads up and of course give credit.

why'd you remove the shine from the busters?

[Emmanuelf06]

And megaman doesnt keep the blue color of his arm when he gets a weapon.

[Korby]

both of those weapons have cyan for an alternate color.
if you had looked at the mod, you would have seen the rest of the weapons are recolored accordingly.

[Emmanuelf06]

Oh indeed. I see. Sorry cybersavior o:
If you re-add the shine, it could be cool :>

[Dr. Crasger]

The recoloring looks strange.

[cybersavior]

why'd you remove the shine from the busters?

I did a great deal of thinking about whether or not to remove the shine off of the megabuster copyweps.

One reason I removed the third color (white) part on the Megabuster copyweps was that it does not even exist in Bass' and Protoman's buster design or barely any other weapon huds used by all the robots in the game except ones that were directly based off the Megabuster. (My aim was to make the designs follow a uniform coloring style)  So I removed it to conform to the design majority rather than add a white highlight to the 90 percent to conform to the 10 percent. (Two shades only, with no highlight are used for each part of most weapons in the game)

the second reason was, that I used the mm8bdm palette, I was thinking of replacing it with a light colored shade of each part, but for many of the colors there are not 3 different shades of the same color tinted the same way that are in that sweet spot of close enough in shade to look good, but far enough to be able to easily distinguish them.

While it doesn't look bad to have the white on some of the lighter colored megabuster copyweps, it doesn't look too good on some as it way too far out of step in luminance from the other shades on that part and therefore stands out too much and looks weird.

Let me just say those water and thunder huds look sexy as fuck.

I find this mod quite interesting! It makes it look more like what the weapon would actually look like, with the buster being one color and the arm being another. It still requires a few tweaks, as some of the colors aren't quite there yet.

Also, Grab Buster's HUD when you slide has broken colors.

Remember, I have to use the mm8bdm palette for the translation changes, which means some of the secondary shades on the parts can only come so close, as there isn't always a perfect choice for a color in the 256 color palette.

but feel free throw your specific input my way anyways and I will address it and see what can be done.
(I am currently only matching the huds to the character sprite skins for each weapon that were decided by the parent mod)

Ok grab buster's slide for Megaman has been fixed, and will be in v1c with what ever else I may have missed.

I would like to change the colors of Saturn's weapon hud to an almost black for the buster and feet, an off white color for the legs and arms, but I do not have access to the proper pre-compiled wcolor file for the Justified classes mod, so even if I change the hud colors for that I can't make an edit of the actually character sprite translation for that weapon. (right now its using a red for the buster to match the skin colors) but I want it to look more like this.


Let me know what other ones huds aren't reflecting the character sprite colors.

I will release version 1c once I know and correct any hud issues that were over looked.

[Dr. Crasger]

Without the shine the sprites kinda look off.

A bit more tweaking and it'd look nice.

[cybersavior]

There is now a version of this mini mod with highlights, highlights were added for Bass' and Protoman's busters too (in this alternate version of my minimod for use with Justified Classes)

The download is at the beginning of the topic.

[Emmanuelf06]

Now, it's awesome! (specially with the "light effect" )
I will ask if we can add this to Justified...

[MusashiAA]

Add this to Justified?

This should be the vanilla standard.

Now, all we need is a version of this for vanilla MM8BDM.
