ZDoom

I consider this HUD to be mostly, but not entirely, complete. It's an interpretation (read: NOT a recreation!) of the Doom Alpha 0.2 "helmet" HUD, in SBARINFO. Through some miracle of compression algorithms, I've managed to make it take up no more than 12 KB.

Features:
- Health and armor bargraphs
- Ammo/arms indicators on the right
- Large ammo number in the upper right corner (for mods that use non-standard ammo types and altfire ammo)
- Key display on the left (using KeyBar, so non-Doom keys like KDIZD's should work too)
- Kills, Items, Secrets shown in the upper left

Yes, the field of view is restricted thanks to the helmet taking up 25% of the screen. I did my best to trim the fat (the screens in the upper corners have been cut away a bit), but it's still a little difficult to see at times. I like it, but people that complain about the restricted field of view may want to set their FOV to 100 through the console.

Also, bonus health/armor does not show properly, because I don't know if SBARINFO can do that with bargraphs/lifegems.

Permissions

Yes, you're allowed to use this in whatever the hell kind of mod you want it for, modify it, hack it to pieces. You don't even need to credit me, unless you really want to.

Pretty cool!

Very nice! On a somehow, I always wanted the HUD more helmet'ish because I just thought it fould give a bit more of this first person feeling, being a marine. This is just neat!

The height is 1 pixel to tall. At least here I see a slight HOM. You are right about drawbar/drawgem not able to show when you have over 100% health/armor. I think I might change this when I get to the Strife stuff (even though strife uses an auto generated bar).

1 pixel too tall? What resolution are you running at? I measured the pixels using Paint Shop Pro and don't see any problems with it at 1280x1024 (which actually shows a tiny layer of HOM on the original Doom status bar when scaled).

1152x648 LB windowed. I lowered the height 1 pixel myself and it is fine. You might like to know that I'm adding the ability to interpolate the armor value and the ability to use a gem for armor (mainly because just about every status bar I've played with turned on health interpolation).

Very cool indeed. It does feel quite claustrophobic, like you are inside the helmet. I can also see why, ultimately, id dropped the idea. It does take up quite a bit of space. Mind you, the fov 100 idea does make it more acceptable. I reckon you could have trimmed a bit more off the upper screens and keys panel in particular, but perhaps it would have detracted from what you were trying to do.

This is pretty neat. I like it.

It's nice, but with vid_tft 1 it leaves a 50 pixel or so gap at the top. This seems like something for Blzut to investigate though.

Any chance you could add interpolation for things that aren't bars as well, so that regular numbers will also go down smoothly (a la PowerSlave/Exhumed's ammo counter)?

No, it would require a lot of work (at least for me anyways) to design a system that registers every variable the user wants to interpolate.

This means that the scaling method used doesn't work well with 5:4 resolutions. This would be part of graphics rendering and not SBarInfo.

I actually don't like the way 5:4 mode looks, even on my 5:4 monitor, so I just leave it in 4:3 normal mode.

This is cool!

Hey look! Caleb's now a space marine!

Thanks for the hud.
