Custom HUD not showing correctly

[HellBlade64]

I have a custom HUD I use on Zandronum and for the most part it works just fine on GZDoom, except that the custom rocket sprite is missing.
I can't for the life of me figure why it's happening.

Two screenshots included:

Zandronum

GZDoom

PS: Why doesn't IMG work anymore? Seems kind of redundant to replace it with the same command only longer.

Can you post a link to this HUD for somebody to look at?

[HellBlade64]

You mean the file itself? Sure, I'll just dump the code here.
It's just modified ZDoom default hud code.

Code: Select all

base doom;
height 32;
monospacefonts true, "0";

statusbar fullscreen, fullscreenoffsets // ZDoom HUD
{
    //health
    drawmugshot 5, 15, -55;
    drawnumber 3, HUDFONT_DOOM, gray, health, drawshadow, 50, -20;

    //armor
    drawimage armoricon, 80, -24, centerbottom;
    drawnumber 3, HUDFONT_DOOM, gray, armor, drawshadow, whennotzero, 100, -20;
	
	drawimage "CLIPA0", -7, -57;
	drawnumber 3, smallfont, gray, ammo Clip, alignment(right), drawshadow, -1, -58;
	drawimage "SHELA0", -10, -45; //13
    drawnumber 3, smallfont, gray, ammo Shell, alignment(right), drawshadow, -1, -46;
	drawimage "STRAMO", -22, -12; //34
    drawnumber 3, smallfont, gray, ammo RocketAmmo, alignment(right), drawshadow, -1, -27;
	drawimage "CELLA0", -9, -9; //16
    drawnumber 3, smallfont, gray, ammo Cell, alignment(right), drawshadow, -1, -10;
	drawstring confont, gray, weapontag, -30, -11, 0, drawshadow;

    gamemode deathmatch
    {
        drawnumber 4, smallfont, gray, frags, drawshadow, 50, -62;
		drawkeybar 6, horizontal, reverserows, auto, 102, -11, 0, 3, auto;
    }
    gamemode singleplayer, cooperative, teamgame
    {
        drawkeybar 6, horizontal, reverserows, auto, 102, -11, 0, 3, auto;
    }
}

That rocket graphic isn't an IWAD graphic, so it must've come from a PWAD you're (auto)loading with Zandronum, which you neglected to (auto)load with GZDoom.

It's packed with the code.
As shown above, it loads properly on Zandronum.

Then it is something internal to Zandronum which is not present in GZDoom.

I don't follow.
I'm pretty sure GZDoom is more than capable of displaying custom HUD graphics.
Something this simple shouldn't be outside it's capabilities.

Not an expert but... isn't your rocket a custom image or something like that? Rocket ammo icon in (G)ZDoom is "ROCKA0", not whatever "STRAMO" is. Check how the other icons are four letters followed by A and 0 (zero).

It's not the same. The imgur tag gives you a clickable thumbnail which means the forum doesn't get messed up by people posting huge images. img can still be used for small images (no more than 800 pixels wide). If you try to use the img tag on big images, it should tell you this.

I'd say at this point, the best thing to do is to post the HUD mod so we can take a look.

Yes. "STRAMO" is a custom graphic technically. It's the regular RocketAmmo graphic, but flipped on it's side.
And if you go back to the initial post, you'll see it appears just fine on Zandronum, which is by all accounts a significantly limited port in comparison to what GZ is capable of.

I guess so.
The file is nothing complicated, really. Just an SBARINFO lump and the custom graphic.

You need to put your graphic in a "graphics/" subfolder. GZDoom enforces strict namespacing rules for PK3s and won't load any graphics from the root.
Apparently Zandronum is more lax.
