reimagining the BOOM HUD using SBARINFO: BOOMHUD+

Post by Delfino Furioso »

These are extended/reworked versions of:
- the BOOM HUD for GZDoom made by Hellser (used in Project: Aurora)
- the Fullscreen HUD included with ZDoom/GZDoom

Being based on the SBARINFO standard, it cannot achieve:
- universal compatibility with gameplay mods
- feature-parity with BOOM

I tried my best to replicate all features as close as possible.
Any constructive feedback is welcome!


LATEST RELEASE (2022.10.20)

USAGE:
add this mod at THE END of your load order (so it can override any hud provided by iwad/pwad)
gzdoom.exe -iwad "/path/to/DOOM2.WAD" -file "/path/to/D2TWID.WAD" "/path/to/BDLITE.PK3" "/path/to/BOOMHUD+.PK3"

pwad: it should be compatible with any mod that does not extend built-in actors
