I saw people were interested in the hud I use for my game, so I thought it'd be a good idea to share a download link for a 7z file of it in the forums.
This is a hud pieced together out of 2 other huds (the window style from one, the icons from another) years ago. Feel free to download it and use it. It should not trigger any anti-cheats from the game as it's just replacing original files, as described in the installation procedure below.
- Extract the file using 7z or winrar
- Navigate to the folder until you can see an "INTERFACE" folder (Freelancer/DATA)
- Drag & drop (copy) the "INTERFACE" folder in the game's "DATA" folder
- Replace all files when prompted
SCREENSHOTS (sidenote: everything looks a wee bit darker because the screenshots were taken while the game was running in windowed mode, but the hud is still pretty dark):
I'm terribly sorry I couldn't keep up with this thread (guess I need to set up notifications)...
Anyway, I don't quite remember where I first saw this hud on, as it's been many years since I did. I think it was either shattered worlds or shrouded worlds (or maybe somewhere else?), then I also saw some videos about people playing on discovery that also had that hud. I remember looking everywhere on the internet but I couldn't find it. After a year or 2 of looking around (I'd also given up at that point), I found a black hud that had the colors you see in the screenshots (but with the stock freelancer icons), and later I found a blue hud that had the icons (found that somewhere in the discovery forums). I mashed them together and got this beautiful result.
