Transparent Vanilla HUD (v2 Update Oct. 20 '25)

[SeventhSentinel]

Transparent HUD! Originally for Doom, now with Chex Quest and Adventures of Square support!


NEW in v2: Transparent automap!


Be sure to set it up using the included menu.

Hallo,

This looks really nice! I should incorporate this mod when I play GZDoom games.

Thanks for sharing this!

The frag counter and player color are misplaced in deathmatch.

If you want to test how things look in DM without actually playing a multiplayer game, you can open up the console and type "map (whatever map) dm".

Updated first post with fixes.

For some reason HUD is stretched vertically. Tested in gzdoom 4.1.3.

[Xeotroid]

Does changing "HUD preserves aspect ratio" in HUD options fix it for you?

[dmslr]

No, it doesn't.

Seven years later, I've returned with a big update. See first post.

See first post.

Not your fault, of course, I just thought it was ironic.

Anyway, on topic, thanks for the update. Files downloaded and given a whirl.
I wonder, is there a way to resolve this:

See how when the automap is active, there is a large unshaded area towards the bottom of the screen. Is it my settings, or something to be looked at from the mod side? The red numbers version just shows a the status bar expanded to fit where the unshaded area is.

As the first post states, please set it up using the built-in menu. It requires your HUD options to be a certain way to work; the menu should help with that. It's a little janky that way; I'm open to suggestions to make it less jank.
Also ninja reupload to fix a graphical error when playing with Scythe II loaded.
(Also looking for a better way to put the images up there.)

[Enjay]

Ah yes, thanks. It's the classic HUD scaling option that caused the gap on the automap.

Imgur images not showing are an issue between the UK Govt. and Imgur's owner, media labs. (As I understand it, the UK Govt. said "tell us what you are doing with user's data and comply with regulations or face a fine" and media labs said "nah, we're good, we'll just ban the UK.") Significant sections of teh intarwebs are not visible to UK residents as a result. Shame, because Imgur is the best and and utterly ubiquitous image sharing site.

[SeventhSentinel]

Shame indeed. Well, looks like I only have access to [imgur] and not [ img ], so imgur links they'll stay for the time being.

Been uploading a bunch of ninja hotfixes, particularly to fix issues I found with the Square HUD. Seems my testing for that was inadequate. Looks much better now.
