Patch-related notes (Last updated on October 1st, 2017)

• Do not request patches. The ones I will be making are only for mods that I am interested in.
• The main HUD (nchud-main.pk3) is required for the patches to work. Make sure it is loaded before the patch files, and after any other mods, e.g.,
  <mod> nchud-main.pk3 <patch>.
• If you want to submit a patch, then feel free to do so, and I shall add it above to the list of patches. Do note, however, that I will not maintain those patches submitted by others. It is the submitter's job to keep their patches up to date and working.
• If you decide to make a patch, make sure it is compatible with the current release version of the HUD. I will not accept patches that are not.

Usage permission

• You're free to use the HUD in your mods or to use it as a base for modification. Although this goes without saying, make sure to give credits.

• Minimum required GZDoom version is now 3.2.5.

• The HUD has been completely re-written from the ground up in ZScript, which allows for a relatively better compatibility with mods.
• Layout changes:
  • Moved the keys in place of the air supply bar.
  • Air supply bar rests in the center-bottom of the screen (visible only when under water).
  • Currently selected inventory item took the former place of the keys.
• Weapon slots are drawn in the big font.

• Added the option to completely disable the air supply bar.
• Both health and armor have their own over-max bar options.

  • Added the option to display a "generic" name instead of the actual name.
  • Added the option to include friendly monsters.
• Miscellaneous fixes and changes.

v1.32 (patches included):

• Enemy health bar: added the option to display the max health.
• The HUD Options menu is no longer redefined in order to integrate the HUD's own menu. The menu is merely added. This means that the nchud-menu.pk3 file is no longer needed.

v1.31 (patches included):

• Added the option to display the level stats as percentages (in addition to being displayed as counters, that is).
• Some changes to the menu.
• Updated the status bar and readme file to instruct the user to disable the alternative HUD.
• Smooth Doom patch: the patch no longer needs its own SBARINFO file, and thus, said file has been removed.
• Small update to the patch guide.

v1.30 (patches included):

• Added support for Heretic and Hexen.
• Switched the HUD from a "normal" to a "fullscreen" status bar (this is to work around the HUD sprites of weapons in Heretic and Hexen being "off-position").
• Replaced the window borders.
• Added the option to display enemy health bar.
• Inventory bar:
  • Scaled it up to double size.
  • It is now displayed at the center of the screen.
  • Reduced the number of items it can display at once to 4 (this is due to the increased size).
• Fonts:
  • Replaced the HUDFONT2_DOOM font with a complete version, named DBFPLAIN. The characters of this font have a "texture" similar to the small font.
  • Tweaked the colors.
  • Instead of two color sets, one for the big font and one for the normal, there is only one, used by both.
• Bars:
  • Did some editing to the bars and their frames.
  • As the background, bars now use the same one, regardless of color.
  • When invulnerable, the health bar and its counter are drawn in a different color.
  • Renamed the nchud_oldbarsystem CVAR to nchud_oldbarmode.
  • Health, armor and ammo bars now have one low state each. For health and clip ammo, it is red, while for the others it is yellow.
  • Added a few options to control the low states of health, armor and ammo.
  • Ammo low state value can be set for each weapon (via ACS/patches).
• Air supply:
  • The label now reads "Air" instead of "AS".
  • When underwater, the bar remains dimmed while wearing a radiation-shielding suit or being invulnerable.
  • Added a low state.
• Patches:
  • Added a patch with which the HUD's menu can be enabled.
  • Added a "template" patch that can be used as a base to create patches.
  • Merged Threshold of Pain 1 and 2's patches into one patch.
• Redid the health, berserk and keys icons.
• Updated the readme.txt and patch_guide.txt files.
• Fixed miscellaneous bugs.
• Significant under-the-hood reorganization of files and code.

v1.22 (patches included):

• Added two CVARs: One can be used to switch to the old bar system, and the other to set an arbitrary max value for the over-max blue bar (only applies when the old bar system is enabled).

v1.21:

• Added a complete small font.

v1.20:

• Updated Doom RPG patch to keep up with the recent changes introduced to Doom RPG. The updated patch necessitated changes to be made to the main HUD. Hence, the version bump.

v1.19:

• Replaced the console (small) font with a bigger one.
• Increased the size of the inventory bar. It can now show 8 items at once.
• Tweaked the selected inventory item's position in relation to the inventory box so it is drawn centered.
• Utilized [wiki]DrawImage[/wiki]'s new scaling feature to scale the ammo icons - goodbye to manual scaling!
• When displaying the armor icon, the armor's actual sprite is used.
• Increased the alpha of dimmed elements from 0.35 to 0.5.
• Reorganized things in the ACS library and removed redundant code.
• Separated the ACS library into two files; one that contains common code and one that only contains the things which differ across the patches.
• The HUD's own custom armor and ammo icons are now in a separate patch.
• Health and armor bars are adjusted dynamically to player's health and the type of armor he/she is wearing.
• Map's stats are marked when they are achieved. For map time, it is displayed in blue if you are under the map's par time. Once it goes above that, it will turn to white/gray, denoting that you failed to beat the par time.
• Added a patch-creating guide.

v1.18:

• Pushed the HUD elements five pixels towards the edges of the screen (see the third point just below).
• The keys display has been relocated to the far right, and is now part of the ammo/arms display.
• The bars and their displays in general are slightly shorter than before; this was a consequence of an attempt to make more room for something to be added at the bottom-center in place of the old keys display's location. The idea of adding the thing was scrapped later, and I decided to leave the displays in their new length.
• The ammo/arms display has a more spacious background now. It is a mirrored version of the health/armor display's background, with some changes.
• As a result of the new background for the ammo/arms display, the dual-ammo display now uses the same bar graphics used by the health and armor.
• A weapon that uses two ammo types can have an ammo icon drawn for each ammo type/bar, primary and secondary.
• When adding weapons to the weapons array, a "NoSlot" keyword can be used instead of an actual slot number to designate a slot-less weapon; this was added in for the rare cases where a weapon can be used "legitimately" and at the same time has no slot assigned to it -- ZDCMP2's Grenade weapon demonstrates this case.
• Added a level time display, which is part of the level stats display.
• The level stats display uses the same background used by the all-ammo display, only mirrored (consistency).
• Added an infinite ammo indicator; if the player has an [wiki=Classes:PowerInfiniteAmmo]InfiniteAmmo powerup[/wiki] or the [wiki=Gameplay_options#Infinite_ammo]infinite ammo cheat[/wiki] enabled, the ammo bars will be drawn full and in a unique color. Their counters will be replaced by an infinity symbol with the same color scheme.
• If the player has no armor, the health display will be drawn alone at the middle of the background, now.
• The left-hand side display is no longer drawn with translucency and in grayscale when the player is dead.
• Tweaked the blue console font color a little (it is a bit brighter now).
• Tweaked the blue font color used for the health and armor counters when over hundred (take 2).
• Added a patch for ZDoom Community Map Project 2.
• Miscellaneous changes here and there.

v1.17:

• Tweaked the color of the blue bar slightly.
• Tweaked the blue font color used for the health and armor counters when over hundred.

v1.16:

• The air supply display is now drawn dimmed when the player is not currently underwater.

v1.15:

• Replaced the HUD's name and version number with a bar display of the player's air supply. Not useful for vanilla maps, but it is still more useful than what it is currently replacing.
• Removed the HUD's menu options; this is to avoid potential conflict with ZDoom itself and other mods. (See the readme.txt file for information on how to change the options now)

v1.14:

• Implemented some code so that weapons using AmmoType1 as reserve ammo and AmmoType2 as "clip" ammo are shown correctly in the dual-ammo display.
• Updated Accessories to Murder's patch's base code to v1.14.
• Added a patch for Brutal Doom.

v1.13:

• The reserve ammo type(s) associated with the currently equipped weapon is shown "highlighted", while the rest of the types are dimmed (this was meant to be part of v1.12, but I ran into a little block when trying to implement it then).

v1.12:

• Weapons slots are specified through ACS, now, which means no SBARINFO-work is needed in that regard.
• Extended the all-ammo and current ammo displays so their counters can go up to 4 digits in size.
• Reworked the dual-ammo display a little.
• Made custom colors for use with HUDFONT2_DOOM and NC_SMALLFONT fonts.
• Gave the HUD version display some translucency.
• Set the HUD version to be retrieved from the LANGUAGE lump.
• Removed some redundant graphics and color definitions.

v1.11:

• The HUD's version number is displayed in place of the player's name.

v1.10:

• Added a background for the individual keys in the key bar.

v1.9:

• The HUD's version is part of the HUD now. It is displayed centered at the top of the screen.
• Replaced the old method of defining custom console variables with the new, CVARINFO one. With this, the end-user does not need to do anything regarding the CVARs and their "initialization", anymore. The engine will take care of that now.
• The test pistol is no longer selectable through normal means if you happen to have it. (See the decorate.txt file for more info)

v1.8:

• Keys are now displayed centered at the bottom of the screen, and in their old place the player's name is displayed.
• Moved the inventory bar up a little.
• Added custom inventory bar arrows graphics.
• Added a section in the readme.txt file about HUD scaling.

v1.7:

• All-ammo display counters do not change color anymore, and thus modders do not need to do much work when adding new ammo types to work with the HUD.
• Changed the way the "selected weapon's ammo" display works, resulting in a less hassle when incorporating new weapons and their ammunition.
• Changed the graphic of the inventory selector.
• When the health bar is yellow, the bar frame glows yellow, as well.
• All-ammo display backgrounds are now of the same style as the tally backgrounds.
• Added a readme.txt file explaining how to make new weapons work with the HUD, and also explaining the HUD menu (make sure to read the file).
• The HUD version is logged in the console.

v1.6 (file was lost):

• Back-ported most of the changes that went into the Doom Expanded's version of the HUD.
• Added support for dual-ammo-using weapons.
• Added a bar overlay for health and armor bars when going above hundred.
• Level stats and reserve ammo displays are now toggleable from a newly added "NC HUD" options menu (See below for more info).

v1.5:

• All-ammo-types display is now being drawn at the top-right corner of the screen.
• Merged the current ammo and arms displays together.
• Armor bar frame no longer continues to glow/flash when player's armor is 0. Instead, the whole display is drawn with some translucency.
• Keys icons are drawn with alpha translucency.
• The HUD is toggle-free now.

v1.4:

• Added: An all-ammo-type display, however, to be actually displayed, a keybind has to be pressed and held ("A" by default) (experimental).
• Added: A "low ammo" indicator (current ammo display only) just like the armor one.
• Added: Ammo icons for the different ammo types.
• The arms display has been 'merged' with all-ammo-type display.

v1.0:

• Initial release.

[Slax]

Still room to show all of your reserve ammo over the ammo counter. Hint hint.
EDIT: Just a personal preference. Can't stand huds without it.

[Xtyfe]

This is a very very nice HUD, exactly what I was looking for.

Some suggestions would be for the ammo counter to also display the max amount as well as the current. and for the HUD to work when "hud_scale" is set to true which right now makes it look messed up

[SFJake]

Like the simplicity of it.

I think Health could use never being blue. I like that it changes color when it gets lower, and it fits better. But then it goes up and gets blue, like the rest of the screen. Thats not ideal, in my opinion.

Plus, I'm not sure I see the need for the weapon numbers, and I'd rather be able to see how much ammo I have.

Really like the overall look.

[wildweasel]

Note: Due to some issues I ran into, which I couldn't find a solution for (yet), the HUD replaces the normal status bar and not the fullscreen one.

What sort of issues? As far as I can tell, you should be able to just use "statusbar normal, fullscreenoffsets" to make that work...

[Xaser]

Ack. Yeah, this should definitely be replacing the fullscreen bar. I currently get this:



This definitely looks great from the screenshot, though! Simple, yet attractive. Hopefully the issue is worked out soonish.

[wildweasel]

You could also set the statusbar's Resolution to a number like 800x600, so that even if a user has HUD_SCALE turned on, it'll only scale up to that.

[DTDsphere]

You could also set the statusbar's Resolution to a number like 800x600, so that even if a user has HUD_SCALE turned on, it'll only scale up to that.

Yes please.

[Blue Shadow]

I think Health could use never being blue. I like that it changes color when it gets lower, and it fits better. But then it goes up and gets blue, like the rest of the screen. Thats not ideal, in my opinion.

I appreciate your opinion, but it won't change, sorry. I'd like to keep some consistency with the other bars colors (armor and ammo) as blue being the "normal" color. Turning the health bar to yellow and red is special case.

Plus, I'm not sure I see the need for the weapon numbers, and I'd rather be able to see how much ammo I have.

I thought about not including the arms (weapon numbers), but sometimes I wish I had a way of knowing if I already have weapon x and weapon y. I could try and press the keys on my keyboard to see, however, with the arms dispaly, all I need is a quick glance on the right.

This of course applies to the "reserve" ammo display. That's why I'm gonna try and include it.

What sort of issues?

Well, they're more of annoyences really; one is related to the inventory bar, which I think I've found a solution for (I haven't tried it yet) and the other is the mugshot.

Since I'm using the fullscreenoffsets flag, merely adding the mugshot won't work well, since it'll be too small for the HUD. That's why I scaled it up 200% with the use of TEXTURES. It worked well for the HUD but not that well for the standard Doom status bar. I tried "defining" a new separate mugshot to use specially for the HUD, alas I seem to have failed. So, that's why I did what I did, because I'd rather have it replace Doom's standard statusbar than have a "broken" one.

Long story short; if I want the HUD to replace ZDoom's fullscreen HUD, then I'd like to keep Doom's standard status bar intact and unaffected by any changes I could or might have done to my HUD (like the mugshot case above).

For the hud_scale issue and as per wildweasel solution, I used the resolution command and it doesn't seem to affect wherther you've hud_scale on or off, which is what we want. However, I used 640x400 and not 800x600, as the results didn't turn out quite well with the latter.

First post updated to hopefully fix this issue. Could someone test this and see if it works for them as well, please.

[Xtyfe]

much better, works with hud_scale now except the inventory bar is not scaled still

[Blue Shadow]

Fixing the hud_scale issue missed up the offest of the inventory bar*. Also, the inventory bar doesn't seem to be affected by hud_scale unlike the rest of the HUD.

Man! I never realised how buggy this thing actually is when I uploaded it. It's all because of this hud scale thing. If I knew it would be such an issue, I would have refrained from uploading it.

Anyway, first post is updated with another hotfix. Is it any better?

* It also missed up Doom's standard statusbar. So, forget what I said about keeping Doom's standard status bar intact and having this HUD replace ZDoom's fullscreen HUD. It's gonna stay as it's.

[Xtyfe]

Yep, its aligned now

[Pachira]

I get an error when I try to play with this in Skulltag.

Code: Select all

Script error, "nc_custom_hud_v03.pk3:sbarinfo.txt" line 3:
Bad syntax.

This is a nice custom HUD. If you get the fullscreen version sorted out, I hope you scale down the graphics so it's smaller. Also, shouldn't the ammo icon change depending on the current weapon selected? Currently all weapons use the shotgun shell icon.

There's your problem.
