@Abatu
Thanks very much to you and all who have and do help me on this subject. RawrKitty also helped with a screenshot. I haven't been so great on explaining what I need to know, as RawrKitty pointed out. So from this official pvp demo vid I cropped some illustrative parts of a screenshot of it. Top left, then top right (just to the left of the map), and then bottom left:
TopLeft1.jpgTopRight1.jpgBottomLeft1.jpg
Top Left: I think the "18" refers to the Ego Rating (level) and the name in white that follows it is the character name. The 6 little red squares at the bottom of it signifies how much health remains, I've read that each square stands for 250 Health Points. I don't know what the white square, with the dot in the middle of it, to the left of those red squares, is supposed to indicate. The center bar is empty and I don't know what the white square, with the dot in its middle, is supposed to signify. In the RawrKitty screenshot that middle bar signifies how much Shield remains (I think). But in that video (around 00:43) a loadout gets changed and that bar becomes light blue, and it confuses me that it is a darker blue on its left side than it is on its right side (it slowly gets lighter). So I'm guessing that its middle bar is indicating how much of an active EGO Perk remains, but I don't understand why it isn't a uniform color from left to right.
Top Right:
This seems to be for the enemy being attacked, but I don't read German so I'm not sure. I don't know why the top bar is blue or what it signifies or why the number 9 is in the middle of it. The red bottom bar I think is Health of the enemy but I'm not sure and I don't know what its number 5 stands for. I don't know what the white text at the very bottom signifies or the number 10:03 to the right of it.
Bottom Left:
RawrKitty's screenshot shows where Script and Keycards get indicated, the video does not.
The top left icon has a white bar on its left side and a picture of a Perk. This confuses me, it seems to conflict with the middle bar of the top left of the screen. I'm thinking it's not a perk but represents the 2nd weapon. The top right icon also has a vertical white bar to the left of it, which I know could show a grenade. So that's the grenade but the icon shows what type of grenade, I think.
Now I get more confused. The section that shows the rifle looks different in some ways between the video and the screenshot that RawrKitty provided. I suspect the vid shows an earlier version and they moved things around to the way RawrKitty's screenshot shows it to be. This seems to be the active weapon (weapon #1), and the number following the slash mark (/) is how much maximum ammo it can have. I am not sure, but I think the bigger number indicates how much of that ammo has been used (not what remains to be used).
So much for the pictures.Now, if I understand correctly then I can use weapon #1 or weapon #2 just by pressing the keys 2 or 3. Or maybe it swaps them? And then I wonder at the need for swapping a weapon (the Q key or mouse scroll) is, I suspect it is to change the active weapon. I think I can swap which Power the perks are derived from by pressing the 1 key (assuming I have purchased more than one EGO Power).
There's still much that I'm unsure about!

The blue bar above the red health bar stands for the shield... I think. Not all enemies will have shields.
I think the icon you label as a perk is your selected EGO power, and shows if it's ready to use. Looks like Blur is active in that example.
The number with the slash below the weapon is [ Ammo in current clip/Total ammo ] ...I think.
The Red/Blue bar you linked, is the kill count in Team Deathmatch. Blue = your team. Red = enemy team.
As for the weapon image and Ego rank/Shield you've linked. That's a pretty old HUD.
Looking at that weapon image I want this to be one of those games where you see 30 actual images of bullets and as you fire they fly off the screen like empty shells! Wish I could customize my UI and add that!Originally Posted by Vuule
remember though that this was an old build we got to play in beta, somethings may have changed since that build.
well isn't the weapon bar supposed to mean they are this close to maxing exp for said weapon? Not weapon class for example I think that was a blast weapon or assault rifle so class assault rifle but that blast rifle looked like maybe 140k progress and maxes out maybe around 180k?
or was that a LMG? heck I don't remember lol. The 9 I think means 9 shots left.
The blue bar above the red bar in the second pic is (Blue) shield (RED)Health of the targeted enemy not sure about those numbers
Thanks again everyone for more tips to help understand what the UI is showing. That info, along with playing the game, is slowly making things apparent to me. I wonder why they couldn't come out with a User's Manual to download that explains all that stuff.But I'm having lots of fun!

What does the 1/75 with an icon on the right of it mean? The one next to the number of Scrip you have.
That's ur keycodes
