SBARINFO

[Blzut3]

It certainly is possible just not the proper fix probably.

Note: I'm no programmer, so I don't know if this is even technically feasible.

Code: Select all

- Added: fillzeros flag for drawnumber.  When set the string will always have 
  a length of the specified size and zeros will fill in for the missing places.
  If the number is negative the negative sign will take the place of the last 
  digit.
- Added: globalarray type to drawnumber which will display the value in a 
  global array with the index set to the player's number.  Untested.
- Added: isselected command to SBarInfo.
- Fixed: Bi and Tri colored numbers didn't work.
- Fixed: Crash when using nullimage as the last image in drawswitchableimage.
- Applied Graf suggestion to include the y coord when calulating heights to fix 
  most of the gaps caused by round off errors.  At least for now anyways and it 
  is only applied for drawimage.
- SBarInfo inventory bars have been converted to use screen->DrawTexture()

Patch added

[Blzut3]

New patch, mainly to fix the bug with unscaled status bars.

Code: Select all

- Fixed: SBarInfo tried to calculate scaled offsets on unscaled status bars.
- Added: createpopup to SBarInfo.  No we don't have custom popups yet.  It only 
  defines the transition effect.  Currently none or slideinbottom.
- Made the first argument of DrawMugShot optional (think of it as an overloaded 
  function).  The use of the first argument is deprecated due to the event of 
  per player class faces.
- More changes from DrawImage to screen->DrawTexture().  I guess I didn't get 
  them all just yet.

I thought I would post this little teaser on what is coming probably tomorrow (unless something comes up and I'm unable to work on it).

Screen Shot

Basically translucency can be applied on a per status bar basis. In addition this means a fade in/out transition for Strife pop-ups becomes possible.

[Nash]

WOW! Can't wait to try that out. Keep up the good work, Blzut!

[Gez]

Basically translucency can be applied on a per status bar basis.

But not on a per-element status?

[NiGHTMARE]

Yeah, would be great to be able to have the backgrounds translucent and the numbers non-translucent, for example .

[Jimmy]

I notice a slight problem comes into sight with the ARMS/FRAGS bar.

[Blzut3]

Gez, mostly because I don't feel like mixing the alpha value of the command with the alpha value of the status bar.

Jimmy91, and what does that have to do with custom status bars? It can be avoided if you chop the frags out of the Doom status bar and make it a separate lump.

[Blzut3]

And here is the patch. I know there is a bug with the status popup (it doesn't seem to work). I'm fairly certain there are only 9 huds available to the user and for some reason I need to allocate 10. And even then the status popup doesn't work right (numbers in the underlying hud seem to shift). So I'll have to look into that some other time.

Code: Select all

- Simplified the DrawGraphic function in sbarinfo_display.cpp
- Added xOffset, yOffset, and alpha to every drawing function in
  sbarinfo_display.cpp.  So Strife popups can be handeled better and allow for 
  other effects (translucent bars?).  I'm thinking about making a struct for 
  these five (also x and y) arguments so that the argument lists don't become a 
  mess.
- Changed DRAWIMAGE in sbarinfo_display.cpp to not use so many calls to 
  DrawGraphic.
- DrawKeyBar wasn't using screen->DrawTexture.
- Added a Fade transition for popups.  It takes two args fade in rate and fade 
  out rate.  Both are floats (1.0 = 1 tic to complete 0.5 = 2 tics to complete 
  and so on).
- Added a translucency arg to statusbars.  1.0 = opaque and 0.0 = invisible.

Basically translucency can be applied on a per status bar basis.

But not on a per-element status?

If multiple status bars can be shown at one time, this isn't an issue.

If they can't... then maybe that'd help.

[Blzut3]

Graf/Randy, is there something wrong with the patch?
