[HUD] Statusbar Reloaded
Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 10:03 am
Today, I've spend some time trying to make a new HUD for Doom.
Vanilla status bar has a lot of info, but obscures the view to much. Quake 3 HUD was really minimal to let players react quickly in the game, but not all info was present (for ex. other ammo types). I decided to make a HUD which makes both: is really full of info, and "not very" view-obscuring at the same time.
Features:
-Q3-style layout
-Both fullscreen and normal HUD's replaced
-All the info from vanilla statusbar present, except for total ammo limits
-item's "wear off time" displayed (even for all items at once)
-Ammo2 support (which means it's compatible with Brutal Doom and properly shows clip capacity)
-statusbar disabled in the map view (to not obscure it)
-Air indicator (may be useful for diving, disabled by default, since vanilla Doom has no underwater sectors)
-Health counter can drop below zero
EDIT1: 18.07.2012 New Release! Version 1.1 download below.
Important! : This version requires the newest release of ZDoom.
EDIT2: 17.08.2012 New Release! Version 1.2 ready to grab!
This time it has all the cool mugfaces seen on the screenshots (thanks to Mr.Rocket) as well as map indicator

Important! : The file extension was changed to pk7, so don't forget to adjust your startup files.
Also, please get familiar with my other projects:
