SYNTHETIK HUD

This is a faithful re-creation of SYNTHETIK's HUD and fully replicated animations from the original game.

Animations update:

Added a new animations when losing health and armor. A pulse of the last received damage will appear on top of the lost transition.

It also changes the behavior of bottomless clips weapons (rocket launcher, grenades, any weapon that doesn't have magazine). Instead of being displayed as reserve ammo, it will show as a clip counter above the bullet picture. The maximum percentage will be determined by the maximum ammunition carried and will be reset when player dies.

And a third addition is the bars background, it will either occupy the whole with of the HUD or just the health lenght if the fixed armor is enabled.

And a last new option added and that bothered some people is an option to change the armor bar background, there are three options available:

• Flashing white background (the default one)

• Static white background

• Black background

• No background

Features:

• Animated health and amor bars with smooth transition for gain and loss
• Animated ammo count, every shots will shake it
• Animated magazine count, the counter will translate from right to left as it depletes with a subtle ghost trail
• Animated bullet icon, the animation speed reflects the rate of fire of the weapon
• Different bullets icons for each Half-Life 2 ammo types (custom ammo will display SMG bullet)
• Option to switch to merged health and armor bars together, the loss transition will reflect both of lost health and armor (not in the original game but this is how I started this project, so I kept it)
• Low health alert by red gradient on bottom of the screen (toggleable)
• Customizable maximum HP and AP to display, the bars will be scaled
• Should be compatible to any screen resolution
