This application was made for locating coordinates on a screen for HUD placement.

I want to give a special thanks to Detox for all his help and support. He's the best person I've met so far. Thanks Bro.

I would also like to thank Darkmetal and Supermodder911 for helping me figure out some things. Thanks guys.

Here is a screen shot and I hope you guys enjoy.

I will be the first amateur, this allows you to reposition the HUD displays? For instance placing the shield bar right above the crosshairs?

"Using my application Halo 2 HUD Coordinate Finder we will find the location we want to place the bitmaps but make sure you choose the correct anchor.

After you find the coordinates enter them into Fullscreen Offset X and Y."

Quote from my tutorial.

i like this app very much, but one quick question:

here are your anchors:

and here are Entity's anchors within xzodia's [nhdt] plugin:
Image

now i noticed that this [nhdt] plugin is mapped out differently with the anchors (i.e. - the shield meters/masks are linked to the "Motion Sensor" anchor >_>). i was wondering whether or not this app's anchors are referring to logic (what you'd expect the bitmaps to be linked to), or based off of the anchors in xzodia's [nhdt] plugin.

It used to be the old nones but I decided to change the app with the plugins.

Lul, "I" before "E" except after "C". :lol:
I don't think Notepad or Wordpad has a spell checker anyway.
