I cannot figure out how to position armor properly on a ship's HUD.

Help Please!

How many seg's of armor are you using? If four, try looking at the code for the original playerships. That should give you an idea on where each seg is positioned and with a bit of tweaking the numbers, you should be able to move them where you want. Just remember to keep a back-up of the original codes, JIC.

if you have more than 4 segments you will need to find out how manipulating the numbers affects the position, why not start with only one segment to get a feel for moving them?, the rochos transport has an example of a 6 segment hud, if that's how many you need.

it seems putting these in the proper order is not easy, otherwise it will give you inaccurate info and you will be exposing the weaker armor to enemy fire following the hud.
