The main game interface. Thanks to Meeks' considerable grafx skillz, second only to no one two other contributor's skillz, BH is now almost completely beautified. Hover your mouse over a button in the game to see what it does and how many AP the action costs.
Radiation Badge. All civilians wear one. Click to see how much harmful radiation you have picked up.
Each map has 256 squares. Click this icon to display coordinates. They come in useful when telling others where to go, or where you placed a boobytrap.
Click this icon to display map labels. Some labels are visible only for certain teams, e.g. on a spaceship, the crew might know where to find the armory or the nav computer.
This one displays your character's Line of Sight (LOS), or more correctly, his current field of view.
A simple notepad for info you might want to have handy in-game. Changes color when you have
Display recent sightings, i.e. other characters your character saw moving while you were offline.
Select which team(s) to fire at in Opportunity Fire.
Log out.
Log out and Hide in the square you're in. You can only hide in obstructed or dense terrain.

Log out and Ambush in the square you're in. With that skill, you can hide everywhere, and OpFire at any enemy passing by. Note that after the first attack, you won't hide anymore.
Log out and OpHeal. Only if you're a Medic with a First Aid Kit equipped.
