Grand. I knew there would be an easy solution for this one. ^^JohnnyTheWolf wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 6:06 am Ah, that was it. I was using the latest version of this mod... on a different computer. I forgot to update it on this one.
Sorry to bother you!

Version 5.2.1 released
A hotfix was needed since using the mod with Hexen made GZDoom crash. Looks like I optimized the code a bit too much and removed a few brackets which should have remained in place. Also, I shouldn't have only tested this with Doom before release, I guess. Sorry, guys!
CHANGELOG
[DOOM] Split status bar: Widescreen support for "Eviternity II"
[HEXEN] Code fix to resolve mod crash (unsplit.zs)

Re: Fullscreen Statusbar Mod (UPDATE: v5.2.1)
Looks like it doesn't work with Blasphemer (though it works with Heretic).

Re: Fullscreen Statusbar Mod (UPDATE: v5.2.1)
Because it is not supported. Quote from the OP:
1) The statusbars for Heretic and Hexen work differently compared to the ones for Doom. Original graphics are not reused and cut, but new ones have to be created from scratch. New graphics and code would be required which I am unable to provide.
2) Personally, I consider Blasphemer exotic and in a rough state (other than Freedoom, which is sort of known and much better maintained) and don't see any considerable demand for supporting it.
3) Also, as it was previously emphasized, this project has entered maintenance mode and is unlikely to receive major new features at this point.
Should someone ever come up with something and put it as a pull request on Github, I could look at it and tweak it. More is simply not possible.
Reasons:Fullscreen statusbars for Doom, Freedoom, Chex, HacX, Harmony, Heretic and Hexen

Re: Fullscreen Statusbar Mod (UPDATE: v5.2.1)
Edit: currently as a workaround i run Blasphemer as a PWAD on top of Heretic.

Re: Fullscreen Statusbar Mod (UPDATE: v5.2.1)
Frankly spoken, the current Blasphemer statusbar is also ugly AF. I doubt it's final and will most likely be replaced eventually.

Re: Fullscreen Statusbar Mod (UPDATE: v5.2.1)
Greetings. Sry if it was asked before already, but could you please add this widescreen statusbar for Strife as well?

Re: Fullscreen Statusbar Mod (UPDATE: v5.2.1)
The Strife statusbar was in our original plan. However, very likely not going to happen any more, for mainly two reasons:
1) That statusbar is highly complex and my coding skills are very limited. 3saster used to be the main coder for this project and he's no longer available. I can barely even keep this thing working with what I know.
2) Strife isn't exactly the most popular entry in the Doom engine family. There are hardly any mods for it, so the demand for such a mod is definitely very low.

ok, got it. Also, just downloaded Faithless Trilogy wad for Heretic, and it seems that this Mod doesn't want to show vanilla statusbar at the center, only splitbar. Can you look into it plz? :3

Re: Fullscreen Statusbar Mod (UPDATE: v5.2.1)
I have consulted Jimmy about his "Faithless Trilogy" mod. There are a lot more problems than just the unsplit bar not showing up:
- Split HUD doesn't show the red key
- Y/G/B keys display in their regular positions on the full bar, overlapping the four key slots on Faithless custom bar
- Custom weapons in slots 8 and 9 missing when numerical arms are active
Faithless uses its own SBARINFO-based statusbar which actually does a lot of things similar to our project. It has a split fullscreen bar by default and a full bar without the cut-off edges on each side. You may be missing a few extra features like Boom colors, transparency tweaks or adjustable scaling, but otherwise it looks pretty much the same. All things considered, you are better off using the default bars offered by Faithless itself, not loading this mod with it at all. They are basically not compatible with each other.
