Fullscreen Statusbar Mod (UPDATE: v5.2.1)

[NightFright]

Hmmm... might have happened when replacing the statusbar. Does it happen in earlier mod versions (5.1.8 would be enough, I guess)?

That Hexen statusbar is really cursed, though. Never gonna touch it again after this ever, that's for sure.

New version is out with rather minor adjustments. Please note that you will find the mod now at a slightly different spot. While it's still under "Options" --> "Full Options Menu" --> "HUD Options" --> "Fullscreen Status Bar", it's not listed at the bottom any more, but right underneath "Alternative HUD Options" at the top.

Changelog:
[ALL] Slightly relocated options menu (now shown right below "Alternative HUD Options")
[ALL] Alignment adjustments for credits
[DOOM] Automatic Compatibility: "No End In Sight" added
[HEXEN] Alignment fix for chain covers of unsplit bar (LFEDGE/RTEDGE)

Thanks for the update

By the way , while I've been using this with mods which don't have a custom hud without issues until now , but I noticed that the ammo counters on the right doesn't function with BDv21 and its variants. Is it a known thing ?

Best regards

We are not really supporting Brutal Doom since this project is mainly targeting vanilla-style projects which don't deviate too much from the original code-wise. If anybody wishes to add this functionality and is able to do so - go ahead, I guess.
I have opened an issue about this on Github so we are not losing track of this, but I can't tell when or if this will be solved.

FWIW

when playing with BD Lite (by DavidN) the fullscreen hud works as expected, both in centered and in split mode

I dunno much about Brutal Doom tbh. However, I can tell that actor class names of ammo types can't be an issue since 3saster apparently made it work without depending on names.

I decided to play with your HUD, which I really like, in WADs from Tormentor667, but as soon as I launch it, GZDOOM 4.7.1 gives me this error:

Script error, "fullscrn_huds.pk3:cvarinfo" line 1:
cvar 'fullhud_split' already exists

Is it incompatibility with WADs?

Double check if Wads from Tormentor667 has fullscreen hud's already.

I looked and realized what was the matter.

On maps such as "City of the Damned" and "Austerity", brightmaps and the status bar code from NightFright are already embedded.

Probably does not support the newer version, although the same NekosHUD works fine.

I really wished mod authors wouldn't do things like that. If the statusbar mod gets updated, you won't be able to use it with a file which has it merged already. What's the problem with having a second file loaded separately that can be switched?

But well, it's just a couple of maps, but you must consider those releases incompatible with our mod here and we can't do a single thing about it.

[Void Warrior]

Clear... That's what I thought, but thanks for answering my question.

[NightFright]

You could ofc always remove the script files from that mod. Statusbar mod should load correctly afterwards.

think we could see one of these for brutal doom 64??

See what I wrote on Aug 20 about Brutal Doom. Same thing, really.

What about a non-brutal Doom 64 themed statusbar? It could be the same as the normal Doom one, but with no background and the Doom 64 font.
