Funnily enough, the reason I started looking for a new HUD and using Helmeter is because FlexiHud is causing Access Violation crashes for me and I've been unable to figure out why. Probably clashing with one of my other mods, I suppose.

No worries though, it's only a minor issue since I can still use "Query Item" to check my quantity. Kinda gives the vibe of Doomguy checking his pockets, actually.

v1.4 is out. Sorry for the wait, I've been unable to work lately due to a mixture of burnout and personal issues.

Changelog:
-Added inventory display
-Remade the startup sequence and tweaked the death sequence
-Volume slider has been separated into categories
-Music can now be optionally muted on death
-Centered messages are now replaced by the HUD just like the log messages are

This mod is super cool and has inspired me greatly and I just want to shout out how cool this mod is.

Like, goddamn, it so cool.

There's a display tab on the right side of the hud, that shows my avatar and a number underneath which seemingly shows how much melee damage I'm doing. It only seems to show when I use my fists, but it doesn't go away. Doesn't seem like there's any way to disable it. Kind of distracting but everything else about the mod is really cool.

[DaDude001]

I'm not sure what you mean. I don't have anything like that, maybe it's some other mod you have enabled, or some strange incompatibility.

[Dewmdude]

That's probably it to be honest. It was only happening with BD Doom 64 VoH. False alarm lol

It has one feature in particular that I don't see often (ever): kill/item/secret counts that go UP instead of down. Thank you so much for making this.

Please add an option to move the display location.

I like the way the hud looks with only the display, not the helmet or the lights. But with them disabled, the display is just awkwardly floating there in a very uncomfortable position.

It's seriously bothering me and I can't use the hud like that. I need to be able to move the displays into the bottommost corners of my screen.

Bug report.

Helmeter: v1.4
GZDoom: version g4.14.2
OS: Manjaro Linux, Linux 6.6.107-1-MANJARO on x86_64
IWAD: Freedoom1 v0.13.0

Sometimes the HUD doesn't render at all (see the attached screenshot). It happens when starting a level. The startup sequence doesn't show up. I could not find reliable steps to reproduce this: sometimes it happens, sometimes not.

Pistol start is on both in GZDoom and in Final Doomer.

Restarting the level with `map *` or `changemap ...` fixes the UI.

Besides that, great mod! Having a blast with it.
