What this does:
Allows you to set custom hud images when you pick up a powerup. Instead of a 3d rotating model you can have a flat 2d image, like the super speed powerup in the hud of this MBU/O image:




The Code:
In your Marble Blast folder, navigate to marble/client/scripts/playGui.cs and open it with a plain text editor.

Find this code near the top of the file:

and change it so it looks like this:
Warning: Spoiler!


In the same file, find this:
Warning: Spoiler!


Replace with this:
Warning: Spoiler!



Now, back in your Marble Blast folder, navigate to marble/client/ui/playGui.gui and open it with a plain text editor.

Find this code at the end of the file:
Warning: Spoiler!


Replace with this:
Warning: Spoiler!




Almost there now.
For the images, the way this is coded depends on the name of the dts file for the powerup.
That means the images should be named as follows:
Gyrocopter is : helicopter
Shock Absorber is : shockabsorber
Super Bounce is : superbounce
Super Jump is : superJump
Super Speed is : superSpeed
--
Gravity Modifier is : antiGravity
Time Travel is : timetravel

These images must be in png format.
Place them in this folder: marble/client/ui/game/

If you don't want to make your own images, you can download the examples I made here .



And that's it.
Have fun!

All the source files for the MBG scripts were all released. I took the effort to download them... You should be able to find them on the forums somewhere. If not, I can upload it later.

Just checked MBG and found that playGui.gui comes in compiled form.


You can download the MBG Script Sources here .

--OR--

You could copy and paste this into a plain text file. Name it playGui.gui, and place it in marble/client/ui/.
If you take this way, you must make sure the extension is .gui and not something like .gui.txt

Try going in-game and test it by picking up a powerup.
If the Powerup HUD doesn't change, post again
