Big cooky if you can actually get the HUD unaffected =O

Keep it up, you're legend for making an old engine like this look great

Wtf is a cooky.

I think you'd have to make a "mask" around the HUD, since this is basically just an effect layer. And since different people have different resolutions you'd needs a mask for A LOT of different resolutions.

I'm not even sure if you could define a mask type exclusion via a d3d9.dll, but I have no idea so.

Well, as Halo renders the scene first and then the UI/HUD it should be possible to slot the post processes in between so Halo does the UI/HUD after the post processes are done. I've managed to test this using a hacky way of figuring out when its started drawing the HUD, and then rendering the post processes, but it's messy and screws other things up. Shows it can be done though.

Success! No more messed up menus, hud or chat text .

Sweet! Looks really nice.

any new RC anywhere soon? been like 2 months and i'm dieing to use the fixed hud version =3

[FireScythe]

Not for a while, theres still a fair amount of work to be done on it, and I don't want to be putting out a version everytime something new is done, so there isn't a bunch of different versions floating around.

[supersniper]

I haz every version uh-oh they're floating around
hey take your time mate.

Any chance we can have an option to toggle whether or not the effects apply on the HUD? I like the glow effect I get on the lines, since it makes it look more like a real HUD would.
