📋 About This Mod
IMMERSIVE HUD: Updated for DLC2 and MercTech
Overall design: I wanted to recreate a more realistic military feel for this Battletech game. Neurohelmets are hard to come by and are kept for years as functional equipment. It felt too gamelike in the vanilla game with a perfectly clean display with no signs of an actual helmet. Even though extremely well done some of the HUD mods that have been created felt more high sci-fi to me and less the dirty lived in world of battletech. To that end I built a HUD and neurohelmet that have a used lived in minimalist feel to them. My aesthetic was to increase the military style functionality and color uses that real world militaries use in HUD, and that I feel would likely persist in the future. So this cockpit may not be everyone's cup of tea. For those who played the mod before I have learned alot and it is much more optimized this time.
The HUD is markedly different. I rearranged it to display your weapons and mech in the RLower MFD and the enemy mech in the LLower MFD. Coms are now in the RUpper MFP and mission info is in the LUpper MFD. The compass is still at the top and the map is at the bottom. The panels are also labeled now. Finally I have added several new function:
1. Targeting Bracket: The targeting zone now has a green bracket. It also provides attachment for the following new data points:
--L. upper: Jump jet feedback. This provides Current altitude, Max jump height, vanishes if no JJ
--L. middle: Jumpjet bar showing remaining burn, % fuel next to the bar. The carrot shows when you are at risk of fall damage if you don't save fuel.
--L. lower: current speed in KPH and max speed settings, Lancespeed shows the speed you should move at if you want lancemates to stay in formation
--R. upper: Ammo count, provides the weapon name and ammo count so you don't have to glance down during a firefight
--R. lower: Heat % (100% is overheating), also provides engine temperature in K and cockpit temperature C for immersion, finally has heat risk of ammo explosion color coded for MercTech users (or immersion if not using MercTech).
--Gyro display below the bracket works with Merctech only
--Torso twist is displayed below the bracket for easy reference with degrees off forward vector
2. Target Status Display with Enemy heat bar, LOS, and FocuFireFeedback:
--Enemy heat bar: Next to the enemy mech display it now shows their estimated current heat. This uses infrared sensors of the enemy mech (pretend of course) and helps guide your use of inferno missiles and flamers.
--Missile LOS Icon: Missile icon is green if your missiles have LOS (MercTech) or red if no LOS (Indirect fire)
