Black spot in custom hud.

[SweatyDevil]

I'm trying to fix an issue, where my custom sbarinfo, causing black spot in the left upper corner, as you can see on this pic:

The situation is that the sbarinfo code is functioning correctly, and the graphics are fine too. The entire HUD works as intended, without any errors or bugs. However, due to the way GZDoom handles upscaling or offsetting, it results in a black spot in the upper left corner. I tried tweaking the code, disabling lines one by one with // to see if something specific in the script was causing the problem. I even attempted to convert and alpha edit the graphics lumps, but it didn’t help. No matter what I try, the black spot continues to appear. I wrote the coordinates both with + center and without it, but that didn’t change anything. Deleting either forcescaled or fullscreenoffsets didn’t fix the problem either; it just messed up the HUD. Is there anything I can do to resolve this? I'm using the latest version of gzdoom 4.14.2.

Code: Select all

StatusBar Normal, forcescaled | fullscreenoffsets 
{
	DrawImage "STBARL", -240 + center, -43;
	DrawImage "STBARR", 90 + center, -43;

    DrawBar "HPBR1", "HPBAREMPTY", Health, vertical, interpolate(10), 208 + center, -36;
	
	DrawImage "BAROVER", 208 + center, -43;
	
	DrawImage "HLCRS", 213 + center, -33;

	DrawBar "MPBAR1", "MPBAREMPTY", Ammo PSMana, vertical, interpolate(10), -235 + center, -36;
	
	DrawImage "BAROVER", -235 + center, -43;
	
    IfWaterLevel 3
    {
        InInventory AirHUD, 9 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL9", -166 + center, -19; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 8 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL8", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 7 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL7", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 6 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL6", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 5 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL5", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 4 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL4", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 3 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL3", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 2 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL2", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 1 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL1", -166 + center, -20; }
    }
    Else
    {
        DrawImage "LGIDL1", -166 + center, -20;
    }
	
	InInventory Power12	{ DrawImage "PWIC", 102 + center, -18; }

	InInventory War10	{ DrawImage "WRIC", 138 + center, -18; }

	InventorybarNotVisible 
	{
		DrawSelectedInventory center, AlwaysShowCounter, BigFont, 18, -21, 36, -33;
	}
		
	DrawNumber 3, AMMOFONT, Untranslated, Ammo1, fillzeros, interpolate(10), -104 + center, -19, 1;
}

That's caused by a missing background image in a DrawBar. "HPBAREMPTY" and "MPBAREMPTY" have more than 8 characters in their filenames, so GZDoom won't find them unless you use their full path, or rename them so they fit the 8 character limit.

I followed your suggestion, but unfortunately, it didn't work. The black box is still present

Code: Select all

StatusBar Normal, forcescaled | fullscreenoffsets 
{
	DrawImage "STBARL", -240 + center, -43;
	DrawImage "STBARR", 90 + center, -43;

    DrawBar "HPBR", "HBMT", Health, vertical, interpolate(10), 208 + center, -36;
	
	DrawImage "BAROVER", 208 + center, -43;
	
	DrawImage "HLCRS", 213 + center, -33;

	DrawBar "MPBR", "MBMT", Ammo PSMana, vertical, interpolate(10), -235 + center, -36;
	
	DrawImage "BAROVER", -235 + center, -43;
	
    IfWaterLevel 3
    {
        InInventory AirHUD, 9 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL9", -166 + center, -19; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 8 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL8", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 7 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL7", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 6 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL6", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 5 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL5", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 4 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL4", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 3 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL3", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 2 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL2", -166 + center, -20; }
        Else InInventory AirHUD, 1 { DrawImage "LNGSFIL1", -166 + center, -20; }
    }
    Else
    {
        DrawImage "LGIDL1", -166 + center, -20;
    }
	
	InInventory Power12	{ DrawImage "PWIC", 102 + center, -18; }

I forgot to mention, they also need to be the same size as the "foreground" bar image. That's the only other thing I know of that could cause this problem.

Holly mother of sweet biscuits, that did it! The HBMT and MBMT were 2 bloody pixels bigger than the bar image. TWO bloody pixels gave me headache for three days straight. Two bloody pixels... ARHG!! I can't thank you enough for helping me out with this. Thank you so much, mate.
