[Discontinued] NC HUD v2.6.0 - September 7th, 2019

[Coincident]

The only 2 issues are: the current weapon ammo is not showing, and SmoothDoom's xdeath gib-face animation is not being used on death.

For the gib face, locate the [wiki]DrawMugShot[/wiki] command in sbarinfo.txt (it's at the top) and and add the xdeathface flag to it.

As for the weapon's ammo, Smooth Doom doesn't use the original weapons, so you need to do some extra work. See the patch creating guide that is bundled with the HUD for the needed info.

Ok, I got everything working now (easier than I expected).
The xdeathface flag in sbarinfo.txt worked instantly, and as for the weapons, all I had to do was rename the weapons in the nc_weaponslist array from nchud_a.acs.
I'm going to test things a little better to see if I didn't create any bugs.

You seem to have got it.

[Coincident]

Everything seems to be working fine.

Similarly to the other existing patches, I've created a patch .pk3 for Smooth Doom that only contains the 3 changed files, and is meant to be loaded after the base nc_hud pk3.
(textures.txt only contains the mugshot graphics, since ZDoom seems to append the contents of the textures file, instead of over-writing it)

Blue Shadow, would you like to update the first post, to include this Smooth Doom patch for other people?

The patch is added. But you are going to have to maintain that patch yourself and keep it up to date.

Added a patch for Scalliano's Threshold of Pain 2.

Hey Blue Shadow,

I'm adopting your hud to my mod however I have a question on how to do something.

The maps that I am creating don't make use of keys at all, so instead of having an empty space on the right I was thinking of disabling the inventory box and putting a larger version of it in the space where the keys were. My mod makes a bigger use of that instead though the problem is, I can not locate where you defined the inventory box.

How would I accomplish this?

[Blue Shadow]

I can not locate where you defined the inventory box.

The code is located at the very bottom of the sbarinfo file:

Code: Select all

  // Inventory Box --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  // If "Reserve ammo toggle" option is set to on, draw the artibox next to the reserve ammo display
  InInventory NC_ToggleAmmo
  {
    drawselectedinventory alternateonempty, center, NCNormalFont, -143, -106, -128, -100, NCWhiteC {}
    else { drawimage "ARTIBOX", -162, -125; }
  }

  // Otherwise, move it into its place
  else
  {
    drawselectedinventory alternateonempty, center, NCNormalFont, -23, -106, -8, -100, NCWhiteC {}
    else { drawimage "ARTIBOX", -42, -125; }
  }
}

Geez, total fail on my part. Thanks

Could you supply a complete font for this? I'm trying to make a patch for Modes of Destruction but I need the full alphabet and the dollar sign character for the mode and score displays.

[Blue Shadow]

The big font or small font?

[Woolie Wool]

The small font.

This is what I have so far. The mode display is in CONFONT and the score uses "P" instead of "$" due to the limitations of the current smallfont.

[Blue Shadow]

Alright. I'll see if I can complete it.

[Blue Shadow]

The HUD has been updated with a minor change: the small font is now complete.

Do note, though, that the font's name is NCHSLFNT, not NCNormalFont. So keep that in mind when you want to use it.

[Woolie Wool]

Does SBARINFO not allow me to use the $ character in strings? I see it in the font and nearby characters like % display, but not $.

[Blue Shadow]

Currently looking into it. I'll update this post once I've got an answer.
