Looking at SetSize, what is the very first parameter (height) doing? In doom it's set to 32, hexen 38...

Also what's the best way to replicate the 'forcedscale' keyword?

The first parameter is the actual height of the status bar, i.e. how much of the view it obstructs.

For forcedscale look at the definitions of

Code: Select all

	void BeginStatusBar(int resW, int resH, int relTop, bool forceScaled);
	void BeginHUD(int resW, int resH, double Alpha, bool forceScaled = false);

Okay I gave it a shot.

Here's the code to the SBARINFO for comparison's sake:

Code: Select all

height 0;
CompleteBorder True;

Resolution 1024,768;
InterpolateHealth false, 20;
InterpolateArmor false, 20;

//================================================================================================
//================================================================================================
//	This version HAS the weapon bar and ammo counter
//================================================================================================
//================================================================================================
statusbar Normal, forcescaled
{	
	
	// Powerups
	// Go first because otherwise they obscure HUD elements
	inInventory PowerD4QuadDamage 			{ drawimage "Shade2Ma", -171, 0; }
	inInventory PowerD4Regen	 			{ drawimage "Shade2Cy", -171, 0; }
	inInventory PowerD4Haste				{ drawimage "Shade2Ye", -171, 0; }
	inInventory PowerD4Money 				{ drawimage "Shade2Gr", -171, 0; }
		
	// UAC Doomguy collectible uses
	InInventory DollUses,1
	{ drawimage "Ddoll", 1060,727; }
	InInventory DollUses,2 
	{ drawimage "Ddoll", 1030,727; }
	InInventory DollUses,3
	{ drawimage "Ddoll", 1000,727; } 
	InInventory DollUses,4
	{ drawimage "Ddoll", 970,727; } 
	InInventory DollUses,5
	{ drawimage "Ddoll", 940,727; } 
	InInventory DollUses,6
	{ drawimage "Ddoll", 910,727; } 
	InInventory DollUses,7
	{ drawimage "Ddoll", 880,727; } 
	InInventory DollUses,8
	{ drawimage "Ddoll", 850,727; } 
	InInventory DollUses,9
	{ drawimage "Ddoll", 820,727; } 

		// The Usual
		drawimage "BODYBAR0", -69,669;
// ...
}
And here's my current translation to zscript.

    }
} 
Am I forgetting to do something that's causing this alignment to go out of whack? Or do we basically need to reposition it to the new system?

I just realized I put the hud stuff into the fullscreen stuff by mistake, whoops. That'll do it.

So one thing I don't quite get is the coordinate system between status bar and full screen.

Code: Select all

if (state == HUD_StatusBar)
{
	BeginStatusBar(true);
	DrawMainBar (TicFrac);
}
else if (state == HUD_Fullscreen)
{
	BeginHUD(1.0, true);
	DrawFullScreenStuff();
}
It's so much different than the other...

The status bar is supposed to draw into a 320x200 screen with the status bar at the bottom.

The fullscreen HUD is supposed to align stuff to the screen's edges. This is copied verbatim from SBARINFO.

Why is that?

The bar drawer is rather hacky to allow working with Hexen's badly designed graphics. For translucency a baggage-free version needs to be done that doesn't try to put a black fill overlay over the graphic.

I take it that's planned? It would be highly appreciated.

Code: Select all

SetClipRect(0, 1080 - 128, 64, 64);
DrawImage("STARTAN2", (0, 1080), DI_ITEM_LEFT_BOTTOM);
Why isn't this clipping the texture vertically? It halves the texture horizontally as expected, but doesn't half it vertically, leaving a 64*128 texture on the screen when it should be 64*64. I tried messing around with the SetClipRect flags, but I couldn't get anything to work, would appreciate some help here.

This works... Also allows bars to be scaled...
I think some of the border stuff might still be unnecessary now, but it doesn't stop anything I've done from working - I haven't really tested with a border, though - it "works", but I don't know what the expected behavior is supposed to me.

Code: Select all

    //Custom version of DrawBar that allows drawing with alpha - mostly copy/paste from original function, modified to allow alpha and scaling
    void DrawBarEx(String ongfx, String offgfx, double curval, double maxval, Vector2 position, int border, int vertical, int flags = 0, double alpha = 1., double scale = 1.)
    {
        let ontex = TexMan.CheckForTexture(ongfx, TexMan.TYPE_MiscPatch);

        double sizeOfImage = (horizontal ? texsize.X - border*2 : texsize.Y - border*2);
        Clip[(!horizontal) | ((!reverse)<<1)] = sizeOfImage - sizeOfImage * value;
        
        // preserve the active clipping rectangle
        int cx, cy, cw, ch;
        [cx, cy, cw, ch] = screen.GetClipRect();

            DrawTexture(ontex, position, flags | DI_ITEM_LEFT_TOP, alpha, scale: (scale, scale));

Hard to say from a small fragment of code that doesn't say anything about the context. Just this: This code doesn't look correct at all, so I need to see more.
