So I was wondering, is there any way to completely reorganize the HUD in renegade? To reposition the the info it displays or even change the radar from circular to square or make it bigger?

I know that HUD which scrin (I think) had where he had the top down view of the map and stuff, But also the health and armor display were completely redone too with ammo information being text based with custom colored back grounds, is it possible to do or am I forever stuck to editing the basic hud in ren?

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

yes, it can be done but there are several items that doesnt work with scripts 4.0 like mine count, building bars, time limit and credits, the rest (radar, healt/shield bars, weapon/ammo box) can be edited, here an example:

Toggle Spoiler

So to have a bad ass looking hud you run the risk of a lot of things not working due to TT?

also that med tank skin is sick.

well, you need to keep in mind what features doesnt work with TT if you are working in a new hud because most server already got updated to TT and some enforce it.
here a hud compatible with TT:

Very nice, cheers man!

also another question, how would I go about animating a texture (making the engineers viser glow)? Is that also possible?

you could make glow many stuf in your game by using bloom effects but again i dont think they work properlly with TT(though i am not sure about this as i never used those bloom effects). about making glow engineer´s viser specifically, you would need to edit the w3d model and use it as model replacement but if you use TT, that will get you kicked by the TT anticheat unless you submit the file to a server admin and this one decide to allow it.

Without editing the w3d since I have no modeling experience, just make the viser flash a few colors, could that be possible? are there any special settings to save the .dds in photoshop?

No, I believe you would need to modify the .w3d to add the necessary material and/or mesh properties to apply the effects properly.
