It's not great yet, but it's coming along. I've made everything here by myself. For the Health Bar, I need to move it more to the right on the bitmap file, and try to center in, maybe make it wider. Then, I need to try and figure out what wrong with the Shield Bar's Outline. Here's a picture:

Low quality because it's a JPEG. Anyway, tell me what you think, and please leave feedback. This is only the health bar right now. I need to modify it, and make a motion sensor, etc.
I might make the health bar completely different, seeing as it's a bit odd. I think I'll keep it like it is, though.

It has potential.

But by the looks of it I think I may like this when it's done more.

Here's some more. Looks much better now. Few bugs I still need to figure out. I'm going to replace the health bar with some Rectangular Diamond Shapes.
Here's a more up to date version:

In later versions, I'm going to attempt to move around the coordinates for the Shield, weapon, Game Symbols, et cetera.

I suggest not posting the download as a ppf, but as the btmp itself. It's looking great.

I'm replacing the health bar with 8 of these images:
The Oval like health bar wasn't working very well. I think I'm going to redo the Health Bars, like redo the hud_combined_meter1.dds.1, but using the images I have now, so I don't screw it up as bad. I think some of my issues are that they are not aligned properly.

Thanks. I'm actually doing this all in GIMP, and not Photoshop.
I suspect I might have this done at latest, next week.

This is looking cool, is there anyway you can sorta tilt the HUD like in halo 3? You know, like make it look like its bending around the visor.

Yes, by editing the bitmap. I would have to make a health bar like that. Anyway, more progress! =D Here's a new health bar, and a somewhat modified shield bar (Don't mind the reticles):

The feedback is appreciated very much! Could you please supply some ideas, though.
Bugs in the new version above:
Need to adjust health bar position.
Need to adjust shield bar postion.
Need to adjust passenger health position.

Thanks! I'm fixing it up a bit right now. Let's see what I end up with.

Oh, I forgot to add that the health bar outlining and the actual bar are obviously off, it looks like that needs to be fixed in the bitmap itself. Idk, I never really took the time to mess with anything involving the HUD besides reticles

Jackle001, would you like to help make a HUD for FTD? I am currently missing one.

Sure. I'd love to. I also tried to join the team, anyway. PM me and tell me what you'd like. Also, please call me Jackle. I had to add the sequence of numbers because there were some inactive users using my name

Well, if this is a Halo 3 HUD, I don't think I'm going to move it randomly. You could have figured it out.
