Widescreen statusbars (v2206)

You aren't even in widescreen mode judging from that screenshot. In that case you wouldn't need any of the statusbars from this project, TBH.

It works just as well with 4:3, and I would need it, because I'd like to change the status bar. STARMS is buggy in wide screen as well.

add "+LogFile .\path\to\file.log" to your gzdoom command line
then post the resulting file here

It's DSDA-Doom v0.24.2.

then launch dsda manually from a command prompt, adding "1> .\path\to\file.log 2>&1" at the end of the command line

Looks like the mystery is solved. He is trying to use widescreen statusbar replacements with pwads that don't include an STBAR lump on their own. That means the original STARMS is used, which is the expected behavior.

I'm afraid it's not meant to work like that, m8. However, you can fix it by manually copying the proper STARMS lump into the statusbar replacement wad, if you really need it that badly.

Yup, already did that, and it works!

Sorry, didn't know that STARMS is seperate from STBAR, hence I thought it's some kind of bug, and this is why I also didn't specifiy that I'd like to use it with all WADs, that have the original STBAR.

I hope it's not much of a bother to suggest having another widescreen status bar to be added to that big folder: a WinXP styled Status Bar.

Here's a download link for it if you want to check it out, too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9zqfhi9d39xbj ... P.wad?dl=0

Is that one part of any real PWAD or it's a standalone release (just the statusbar)? If so, it's pretty difficult to create without a source image (I am aware this is based on the official WinXP wallpaper, but finding the exact cropping dimensions/settings used for this might be quite hard).

It would help to contact the author for that info.
