It would be a lie to say Xonotic font is an improvement. Compare it it with Nexuiz HUD numeric font: soft shadows instead of wide borders, properly shaped characters and a nice-looking texture. Ugly black borders and awkward thin shape of characters are enough to make it look bad and out of place.

I have already explained (or at least tried to explain) why this is not true in my previous post. ![]() (05-10-2011, 05:52 AM)Exitium Wrote: Xonotic HUD is functional and simple while it also offers eyecandy. It may be considered simple compared to the previous one, but that's about it. This HUD offers neither functionality, nor eyecandy. Simplicity and functionality can be beautiful.

Simple.Įdit: I think the best way to create programs and games is to make them "suitable and usable for everyone, but also embrace geeks". Default settings should be suitable for everyone and if you don't like it - edit it. However, we can't expect that every Xonotic player is HC-gamer or geek who wants to configure everything. One of the best things on Xonotic is that you can configure almost everything if you don't like default settings. I am very happy that this hasn't happened yet and hope this will stay that way.Īnd IMO default settings should be suitable for the basic player, which usually pays attention to the graphics etc. ![]() I sense a strong urge to get flamed at in your posts as they are so full of strong negative words. As for the other things they should be configurable, or am I wrong? I don't know if the fonts can be replaced client-side easily, but honestly I don't think the font can be perceived as so terrible that it ruins the entire HUD.

The previous HUD was much worse in terms of clutter and sucked too, but at least it looked somewhat complete.I'm sorry, but most of the people prefers neat and good-looking graphics over simplicity and/or functionality. The bars give you a quick visual on how you are i think instead of having to read numbers or look at the colors.

I have yet to see where the teamhud (or whatever the area where CTF flags and such are placed is called) is so I can bitch about it too. The radar/minimap is a huge waste of space, and console notifications which it would get covered by will make it even less useful. Also positions of the timer and scores are very awkward, why are they so off the top? It looks weird and distracting. Oh wait no, I'd rather just look at colors I guess, the font is eyecancer. Two horribly blurred interlaced rectangles that look completely unrealated to the rest of the HUD serve as health bars? No thanks, I'd rather read numbers and look at colors. I'm complaining about the way the bars are done, not about the concept of having them in general.
