Earlier this week I ran into the Doom Expanded HUD, which is a modification of the popular Blue Shadow HUD. I really wanted to port this HUD to Samsara and Brutal Doom. So with Blue Shadow and BlueFireZ88's permission I can release this HUD to all.
What it does.
Fully working modified Blue Shadow/DEHUD for Brutal Doom .17 and Samsara 27b for ZDOOM/GZDOOM. The samsara version works just fine in Heretic and Hexen as well. The ammo counters on the top right will accommodate the classes that don't use the standard 4 weapon types. In the Brutal Doom version, you can keep track of the secret weapon ammo without having to select the guns anymore. The Brutal Doom version has a normal version and a NR version for those like me who use the NoReload mutator.
As of 2b there is now Zandronum Support. Since the resolution feature in SBARINFO doesn't exist for it, I had to comment it out. Meaning, you have to run it at HUD_SCALE 0 to use it properly in zandronum (So on 1080p screens it's going to be a bit small). There is also ACS and NonACS versions. The ACS version has the bar/number color changing behavior like the previous ones did while the nonACS one doesn't.
Bugs:
Until the next version of samsara is released, the Tome will not spin in heretic due to a samsara specific bug. When this new version's out I'll release a hotfix version of the Samsara HUD.
Update: Version 2b released. Above bug still active until .28 is released.

Forget what I've said. I was a dumb wad and was using the wrong version of GZDoom.
Anyway, I do really like this new HUD. I like the openness of the full screen HUD but I always did miss the status bar face. Now I can have the best of both worlds
I can't seem to get the NCDEHUDv2-BDnrACS file working right. The ammo counter in the bottom right corner isn't working like it is on the NCDEHUDv2-BDACS file.
If that is fixed I think I just found the perfect HUD! Nice work!
GZDoom. Sorry for not being precise on that.
Yeah I read that it was for .17 so I initially attributed it to that. Will be looking forward to the next version!
