[v1.4.0] Helmeter - Dynamic, reactive visor HUD

[DaDude001]

HUD mod I made, to practice ZScript and because most visor HUDs are bloated and/or outdated.
Has many features, including dynamic cracking, swaying, blood, startup/death sequences, and more.
Many features are also configurable, make sure to check the options before playing!

Requires at least GZDoom v4.11.0.
Tested in 4.11.3, 4.13.2, and 4.14.0.

Should support most gameplay mods, although some elements of their UI will not show up here.
If you want to make your own versions that support them, go ahead. (If you can stomach my god-awful code that is)
Also has built-in support for Brutal Doom v22.
If you are just using this for the visor component, it should be near-universal.

Sorry about the crappy name, it was the first think that came to my head when I started working on this, and it stuck around...

Should be fixed now.

Works perfectly! Lots of options too! Would be cool ifni can scale the items on the side of the visor.

I had an issue with the screen being red turns out if had another hud that went on when player dies and screen turned red, conflict solved.

Changelog:
-Updated armor damage animation
-Armor overlay colors are now entirely handled with code, should reduce file size a bit
-Added an idle animation to the armor overlay
-Updated number glitch effect; now can show any character, with much simpler code
-Berserk icon is now animated to better indicate that it is an indicator
-Redesigned stats panel
-Adjusted grenade indicator with a new, smaller font instead of grossly scaling down the normal small font

Added, along with a small handful of other misc. things

Hello very good hud im in love but i was asking if you have a sbarinfo/zandronum version too( i don't care if not have the complex features) or you only made a zscripted version?

[Qwazzy]

Really enjoying this HUD so far. The actual helmet overlay wasn't what I was looking for so being able to toggle it off is very helpful, and the graphics of the bars and numbers are great.

I did notice that there was no display for inventory items - if I cycle my inventory I can see the item names pop up, but there's no icon and no quantity so I can't tell how many of an item I'm carrying. Is that normal or am I dumbly overlooking a setting somewhere?

[DaDude001]

It's not implemented yet, but next on the to-do list. Until then, you could use FlexiHUD's inventory display, as it is drawn independently of the main HUD and is compatible with other HUD mods.
