[HUD] Statusbar Reloaded

[Zaero]

Today, I've spend some time trying to make a new HUD for Doom.
Vanilla status bar has a lot of info, but obscures the view to much. Quake 3 HUD was really minimal to let players react quickly in the game, but not all info was present (for ex. other ammo types). I decided to make a HUD which makes both: is really full of info, and "not very" view-obscuring at the same time.

Features:
-Q3-style layout
-Both fullscreen and normal HUD's replaced
-All the info from vanilla statusbar present, except for total ammo limits
-item's "wear off time" displayed (even for all items at once)
-Ammo2 support (which means it's compatible with Brutal Doom and properly shows clip capacity)
-statusbar disabled in the map view (to not obscure it)
-Air indicator (may be useful for diving, disabled by default, since vanilla Doom has no underwater sectors)
-Health counter can drop below zero

EDIT1: 18.07.2012 New Release! Version 1.1 download below.
Important! : This version requires the newest release of ZDoom.

EDIT2: 17.08.2012 New Release! Version 1.2 ready to grab!

Good stuff. Gimme!

Isn't it possible to have the air supply indicator only shown when waterlevel == 3? If the variables accessible through [wiki]DECORATE expressions[/wiki] aren't already accessible through [wiki]SBARINFO[/wiki], that'd be a good feature suggestion.

Yeah, I was looking for such a command but found none.

I can't seem to get this to work. I tried this in both Skulltag and GZDoom.

Code: Select all

Execution could not continue.

Script error, "q3hud.pk3:sbarinfo.txt" line 7:
Unknown flag 'Alignment'.

The HUD looks cool though.

Download ZDoom 2.6/GZDoom 1.6, or a more recent SVN, then try again.

[Gez]

Try GZDoom 1.6.0.

Working now, thanks. Zaero, is there a plan for a ST compatible version?

[Springy]

Yes, Get in! Downloading this baby now.

Cool, I like HUDs that let you see the duration left on powerups. It's nice to have a little more space freed up but still keep the mugshot, too.

[leileilol]

This isn't "Q3 style" at all. Too much information onscreen.

Weapons would show up when you cycle/pick them only. Powerups would build up off the lower right corner. Numbers would be big and next to an icon to the left of them. Only in certain mods mods were ammo counters (above icons of guns during selection) ever added.

Then I realized - why didn't you make a screenshot of the simpler hud?

Not ATM.

I plan to upgrade it a bit, but currently I'm stuck with a problem.
Maybe some of you know: What should I type after "InInventory" to execute the block if player has found the Computer Area Map?

EDIT: I'm ready for the next release. Just would like to know the answer to the question asked in poll.

What should I type after "InInventory" to execute the block if player has found the Computer Area Map?

Try [wiki=classes:Allmap]Allmap[/wiki].

Tried already. As well as "MapRevealer", "COMPUTERMAP" - no effect.

[Blue Shadow]

It turned out that the [wiki=classes:MapRevealer]MapRevealer[/wiki] actor, which is the base actor class for the computer area map, doesn't stay in player's inventory after pickup to begin with, thus you can't check for its presence. It instead, and I quote from the source code: "sets a flag on the level".

Code: Select all

// AMapRevealer :: TryPickup
//
// The MapRevealer doesn't actually go in your inventory. Instead, it sets
// a flag on the level.

bool AMapRevealer::TryPickup (AActor *&toucher)
{
	level.flags2 |= LEVEL2_ALLMAP;
	GoAwayAndDie ();
	return true;
