[HUD] Heretic Widescreened! [Updated!]

[Hellser]

This isn't a project, but something I've whipped up:



Use it as you please.
Give credit to my self, Neoworm for the graphics, TerminusEst13 for Samsara (where I originally got the graphics from) and PSTrooper for joining the horns to the status bar.

Can't really check ATM but how is this different than the one Neoworm did way back?

I did a lengthy 30 minute search for a widescreen HUD for Heretic this morning and couldn't find anything. I knew Samsara had some assets for Heretic, and I went ahead and used that. I've got permission from Terminus to use the assets from Samsara.

As for differences, I wouldn't know. Up until now, I thought this is the first Heretic HUD that had been widescreen outside of Samsara.

Edit: Was under the assumption that Neoworm made the remaining head/skull graphics for Samsara. Take that as you will.

No worries I just was just curious what changes you've made if there were any... I looked at your screenshot and it looks pretty much like the original so that's why I asked. :D Here's Neoworm's thread (although all the links and images are broken) viewtopic.php?f=19&t=31746&hilit=make+it+widescreen

That's a damn shame. I would like to see how mine compares to his. Competition ahoy!

We're using NeoWorm's in HPack. You can find them here, if you're interested.

I see, a tad different, but not by much (considering where I got my resources from).

Edit: Also, thanks Blue Shadow. Updated the file now to not use SBARINFO anymore (praise Offsets!), and to get the finer details in that I chopped out by mistake. If anything, this could be an alternative to what Neoworm has made (seeing as this HUD stretches across the screen for those who prefer the Doom-style of things)

I posted a link to Neoworm's HUD and a few others on page 2 of the topic Nash linked to.

Should request to have it added to this, if it's still gets any updates...

That same thread is what inspired me to whip this one up. I'll just leave this here, since I don't think dropbox is going anywhere soon. When Night updates that thread to include other I/PWADS, I'll see if he'll take this one.

Looking good, but how about just combining those horns with the HUD itself, so that it looks good with filtering on. No side effects as long as the horn graphics are replaced with something, in this case, a blank graphic. (Good news is it works with zdoom too!)

Huh. I don't play with filters, so I didn't know this was a problem. Means Heretic it self also has the problem. Thanks !

It's been updated! This version has a couple of fixes that better matches my HUD to Heretic's.



Changes:
Modified LTFACE (it had a line of extra pixels which was somewhat viewable in the chain graphics)
Moved the right side shader effect for the chain over to the left by one pixel (compare to original screenshot)
Shader effect is now under 0.75 alpha and extended to 20 pixels - giving it a more Vanilla look.
