Faithful Version (CLOSED)
Leave your reasonable suggestions for this version here! The goal is to change some parts to make it more similar to the original game while still having some essential parts for a L4D2 HUD!

This discussion is now closed. I have released this version, you can check the statement in this description to check out the revamped version.

What I consider is:
- Removing Character Icon
- Remove Primary Weapon Icons (Similar to Red Schism design, only pistols and melee icon)

That's just my preference.

While I respect your preference, I have my reasons to deny the second option:
- Primary weapons are definitely essential for a L4D2 HUD, with only displaying the ammo, it's going to be hassle and doesn't fit with the game as well, since that's the only weapon that displays both primary and reserve ammo.
- Removing the primary weapon icon also removes the secondary pistol type weapon, I can try modifying iconsheet but it will conflict with some weapon add-ons.
- It doesn't look good when only 1 secondary weapon appear at a time either from the center or from the top left of the circular health bar, assuming you are putting the secondary pistol-type weapon in the center.

So let me first say that this is probably my favorite HUD mod since my own Heartbeat HUD revisited mod I released a few years ago. However I do have a suggestion.

The overall scaling of the HUD feels a little bit big, especially on the player's own health bar. I'd suggest either making it a little bit smaller, and possibly bring it down closer towards the lower right corner of the screen. Right now it feels a bit too center and it has blocked my view a bit more than what I'm comfortable with.

The funny thing is my beta version was actually way bigger and the horizontal health bar for local player was at the bottom of the circular health bar. Until the suggestion of tomaz, I reduced the teammate panel by like 8% and moved the health bar to the side.

I will consider your suggestion though, by removing both local player and teammate panel horizontal health bar, moved the teammate panel a little bit more to the bottom, and the local player as well. Possibly resizing the local player too.

However I don't want the local player circular health bar to be that close to the corner and that far from the center, as I want it to be consistent with original game, at first I didn't compare it well enough since I only using my second screen as a base picture of the gameplay.

As for your question in the comment section, I didn't modify any icon, except for the incap panel to point to the survivor icon instead, and that makes it somewhat (not necessarily) conflict with survivor skins, so you're safe to use any icon add-ons, I really wish I could resize the m60 icon though other than making a separate add-on.
