(Optional) mugshot on HUD when screen size=11

[axredneck]

Doom is not Doom without it's famous Mugshot. The only way to see it now (without mods) is to set screen size to 10 or lower but this way HUD occupies entire bottom of the screen so less screen area remains for game itself. IMHO it would be good to be able to see Mugshot on Regular/Alternative HUD with screen size=11, especially considering that Alternative HUD is not moddable.

There's a .wad that replaces the health pack icon with an animated mugshot called TDAFSHUD. I guess it was made by someone called TDAF?

I can't find a link but here's the file:

I know it's not built in but it's something.

I already have my own mini-mod for such thing, but sadly such mod sometimes can be incompatible with another mod that alters HUD.

Which is going to be an issue, still, if GZDoom introduces its own HUD changes. Because if GZDoom does that, it can still be overridden by other mods - that is the whole point.

But it still doesn't add Mugshot to (my beloved) Alternative HUD because it's immodable.

Maybe at least add an option to show Mugshot in Alternative HUD?

That may be doable, but I am not 100% sure on that.

The alternate HUD bypasses any HUD definitions, where the mugshot is right now, so the mugshot will have to be recreated in C++ code, and there would also have to be a check to see if the resources are even available.

That one was made by The Dark Archon, there's a later and cleaner version but also with a different font.

Which mods are incompatible? It's a SBARINFO definition and only the last one counts AFAIK.

... HUD definitions, where the mugshot is right now, so the mugshot will have to be recreated in C++ code ...

I thought Mugshot is already in C++ ... Thank You anyway.

Well call me a fool but i went ahead and added this (primary HUD) to LZDoom, ZDoom32 and ZDoom LE.
Why not? Actually i wanted to add this long ago but somehow i forgot about it. It's a cool feature and very simple to implement for the primary HUD. It shouldn't give any problems AFAIK.
