Interestingly, if the bottom could somehow be extended, you could use this with a widescreen ratio and it'd only ever cover up the extra space provided from the widescreen. In other words, you'd retain the normal aspect ratio's sight but also have the viewcounts on the sides.

Am I making sense?

I actually don't like the way 5:4 mode looks, even on my 5:4 monitor, so I just leave it in 4:3 normal mode.

No, it would require a lot of work (at least for me anyways) to design a system that registers every variable the user wants to interpolate.

This means that the scaling method used doesn't work well with 5:4 resolutions. This would be part of graphics rendering and not SBarInfo.

You might like to know that I'm adding the ability to interpolate the armor value and the ability to use a gem for armor (mainly because just about every status bar I've played with turned on health interpolation).
Any chance you could add interpolation for things that aren't bars as well, so that regular numbers will also go down smoothly (a la PowerSlave/Exhumed's ammo counter)?

This is pretty neat. I like it.

Very cool indeed. It does feel quite claustrophobic, like you are inside the helmet. I can also see why, ultimately, id dropped the idea. It does take up quite a bit of space. Mind you, the fov 100 idea does make it more acceptable. I reckon you could have trimmed a bit more off the upper screens and keys panel in particular, but perhaps it would have detracted from what you were trying to do.

1 pixel too tall? What resolution are you running at? I measured the pixels using Paint Shop Pro and don't see any problems with it at 1280x1024 (which actually shows a tiny layer of HOM on the original Doom status bar when scaled).

Very nice! On a somehow, I always wanted the HUD more helmet'ish because I just thought it fould give a bit more of this first person feeling, being a marine. This is just neat! :)
