Thank you for the reply. It did confirm my suspicions. However, I already made the purchase and am quite satisfied with what it is capable of. Indeed, it's unable to do circular gauges but I've settled with that. I did notice when using a picture gauge it only draws from the middle 1/3 of the image, is there a reason for that? For instance, if I have a 300x300 gauge, the top 100pixels and bottom 100 pixels folder over onto the middle 100.

This was quite odd to me at first since, that means to have a proper gauge the height of the canvas needs to be 3x the size of the actual image, and the placing it in the middle. Since the height ratio is locked in the hud maker program, only allowing for width adjustments.

But all in all. I thoroughly enjoy this plugin and coupled program. The only suggestion I would have is in regards to the hue settings, that is using a standard RRGGBB input. Currently it just asks for a value of 0-360 degrees. Just a suggestion. Thanks for your time.

Sorry for the confusion. Image gauges takes an image and splits it from top to bottom in thirds. The first third is the foreground, and the last third is the background. The middle is the part that is actually changed for the gauge value. Here is an example!


As for hue, unfortunately, there is no way to set the hue color directly, as that's based on the previous color of the image (red at hue 30 is different than blue at hue 30). Instead, I think what you may be referring to is the ability to set the tone of images. Tone lets you set any color as an overlay, but doesn't look as good. But I'll consider adding it in the future! ^^

I see. Thank you. That makes things so much clearer. And yes, I guess I was thinking of Tone. If you decide to add it, that'd be pretty neat, if not that's fine. Nothing a little photoshop can't fix. Again thank you for clarifying the image gauge. It gives me some ideas, as well as not needing to make a separate image for a background, border, etc... It's cool that this was a feature. I must have missed it in the free version.
