    Welcome to HoloHUD 3D

    Designed to be a replacement to the original HUD, HoloHUD intends to give more of a heads up view than the old HUD, while also being alot more futuristic

    Currently, there is only one available colour : HoloBlue - but more colours will become available (such as the special beta orange)

    HoloHUD is very easy to install, just make sure after every time the game updates to re-patch with the correct version of HoloHUD! Please note - As HoloHUD is a UI reskin, it will not work with other UI reskins!

    HoloHUD is currently licensed under Creative Commons (CC) BY-NC-ND.


    Just a little dev update ;) Hopefully, will get this on the update in a few mins, after i fix the mysterious error.


    Version 1.8

    The concept idea is great, but I can tell that it's a WIP. No problem with that though :P

    The first thing that popped into my mind when looking at it is that the blue could be lighter. It's a bit dark for what I think of as "hologram blue".

    With the bars at the bottom, I'd suggest adding a bit of variety to the shape. At the moment they just seem a little flat or something.

    It's a good job though, and keep going! :)

    Keep this going dude. Options around here are Vanilla and Crus HUD which are both great but everyone likes options ;)

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Current priority is to fix the status bar overlays (Making sure there not off centre >.>, or having obnoxious F's written over them ;) )

    WolfChild Do you mean the blues overall(or menus/game overlay)? I was going to update a few more of the menus so that they show up a similar blue to the Holo HUD banner up there ^

    TheMightyFid The display while in ship. I've only judged it by the screenshot in the OP, as I don't have time right now to test it out properly. Just what I'm getting though. :)

    Fonts Pack 1 -

    In order to match the starmade font to the one used in the UI, have done a quick font pack replacing most of the standard UI fonts with Aeromatics. This makes the UI even prettier.

    To install

    Get a clean copy of Starmade
    Extract the contents of the ZIP file into ~\starmade\data\font
    Replace the files when prompted

    With fonts installed -

    therimmer96 Thanks, I know, I have been working on this UI slowly and there are still things in there from when I made the concept art.

    Another small update, I have quickly replaced the HUD L/R sidewalls with something a little nicer for now.

    On a further note, if you've tried it, please upload your screenshots! ^.^

    Love the feel. It looks more like something real, like it's a heads-up display on someone's visor, not like someone welded bars to the sides of your screen. More immersive this way. Just looking at the screenshots, I do wonder if the brightness would be a bit uncomfortable or distracting when everything else is so much darker. (Space, ships, etc.... Possibly even just the icons in the inventory.) That's actually part of what contributes to its feel, though. Getting the right balance so it looks like a floating, glowing display yet doesn't hurt the eyes might require a fair amount of careful tweaking. Then again, I haven't actually seen it ingame so it's hard for me to judge.

    Looks awesome. :) Keep up the great work!

    Thanks Omni
    Getting the colour balance right has been a real pain. But I agree in its current state it is - slightly - too blue. I keep tweaking little bits of it on my own PC, and end up realising how quickly out of date the screenshots get :)

    @General Public
    Thoughts on having a coloured set? I mean, while the typical holo is blue, they don't have to be ;) (Cough, ME2)
    I was thinking this might be particularly fun for videos/twitch streams, with either side having a different coloured HUD.
    - Currently thinking to start with just a red set, but I might expand more, if this catches on.

    I feel Cyan or Cobalt Blue have always been Hologram Blue.
