Hotfix HUD v5.3 for GPP

Hotfix Hud v5.3 for GPP

   

Initially intended as a hotfix, I have added some more things to make it more to my liking.
The best part of Superpie's Tweaked GPP HUD was (in my opinion) the centered hud, however, I found out that the centered hud was made to be perfectly aligned if you have a 4:3 resolution (as you can see if you look at the human inventory arrow and more noticeably, in the alien hud).
While working on the fix I learned more about how the code works and I decided to add more options.

- DOWNLOAD HERE -

- requires Segfault -

MAIN FEATURES:

• Hudoptions in the main menu.
• 3 hud layouts! Default, Centered and Compact!
• Custom loadingscreen.
• For all the layouts you have a choice of 3 color schemes:
• - The Superpie hud color scheme. (Default)
• - The Warrior hud color scheme. Based off the Warrior's Hud by Warrior.
• - The Hellrider hud color scheme. Based off the Hellrider Hud (v1.1) by Hellrider.
• The option to place the Adv. Good barbs underneath the crosshair.
• Optional fullscreen radar.
• Optional stamina progress bar!
• Optional Human crosshair dot in 3 colors: white, blue and black.
• Option menu to change the appearance of the console (requires Segfault)
• Segfault options also contain the option to turn on bloom with preset settings to prevent flicker.
  

NOTES:
All "hud_" (exept "hud_style") commands get applied immediately, so there is no need to restart.

Code:

//CHANGELOG\\
V5.3: CHANGES FROM V5.2
*Changed the Hellrider human chargebar to its intended colors (was using Superpie's default)!
*Replaced the default pre-loadingscreen image (moon in front of blue nebula) with a custom one based off the menu.
*Replaced the default loadingscreen with a custom one based on Kang's hud (with some personal changes).

V5.2: CHANGES FROM V4
*Merge with the Unvanquished version!
*Added the staminabars from Dodger's Hud with GeneralScott's full permission, thanks!
*Fixed Centered inventory in the Default huds so that they don't loop around if you have too many items.
*As an added bonus: custom alien crosshairs. (beta)

*Moved the Stagereport to the right on the Centered hud to accompany above mentioned feature.

V2.4: CHANGES FROM V2.3
*Removed hud_markedBuildPoints option. (Now uses the previous "1" setting.) I removed it because most (if not all) servers use the latest version of gpp, so there is no need to want to change the setting.

     * Changed colors for the build timers on Compact huds to be better visible against the green of an unconstructed structure.
     * Moved the TeamOverlay on the bottom right a bit up, as it was overlapping the stage report. (Thanks to ThisIsBS for reporting!)
     * Added TeamOverlay option to place it on the bottom left.
     * HOTFIX1: Fixed the Default Superpie hud.

V2: CHANGES FROM V1.4
    * New hudstyle made by yours truly. The Compact hud, this one is also in 3 color scemes.
    * Changed menu to ask what style of hud you want and then what color sceme for faster selection.

V1.4: CHANGES FROM V1.3

    * Added command "hud_markedBuildPoints" to keep up with changes in gppr2184 (March 02 2011).

V1.3: CHANGES FROM V1.2

    * Minor fixes.

V1.1: CHANGES FROM v1

    * Hud options now have a different tab on the main menu.
    * Made the fullscreen radar display friendlies as light gray, so that it is not as distracting.
    * I found out that the inventory could still be off-center in different aspect ratios. Added in the crude fix from Meisseli's HUD.

CHANGES FROM Tweaked GPP HUD ( v1.8 )
Fixes (only apply in the Centered version of the hud):

    * Made the hud display as intended for all resolutions.
    * Added back in the bolt icon, but in a way that it isn't distracting. The human bolt icon is shown on the health cross icon. The alien bolt icon is shown over the alien icon.
    * Moved the human radar up a bit for it was overlapping the hud.

Added in:

    * Added an option in the main menu to place the Adv. Good barbs underneath the chrossair.
    * Option to use the Warrior hud color scheme. Based off the Warrior's Hud by Warrior
    * Option to use the Hellrider hud color scheme. Based off the Hellrider Hud (v1.1) by Hellrider

Special thanks to:
Superpie, for creating the Tweaked GPP HUD I know and love.
Warrior, for crafting the Warrior's Hud, a hud thats very colorfull and nice.
Hellrider, for spawning the Hellrider Hud, a hud that looks quite cool and not black and white yet.
Meisseli, for making up a very easy way to fix the inventory aspect ratio problem. Try his HUD out!
Mox, for giving me the idea to add pictures to the main menu. His AdjustableHUD is really good, try it!
Oticz, for his dot crosshair code. If you still play 1.1, his HUD is highly recommended!
GeneralScott, for giving me full permission to use the staminabar code from his Hud, awesome!
Kang's hud, who had the most awesome loadingscreen I have seen in Tremulous!

A great help was this site on Icculus.org and is recommanded to everyone trying to make huds for Tremulous!

[GeneralScott]

Those are some cool colors!

[Superpie]

Well done!

Though, could you shed some light on what exactly needed a fix here?

• Made the hud display as intended for all resolutions.

[OhaiReapd]

Pretty legit man! Can't wait until 1.2 releases and we get the itemdefs that were in 1.1

[E-Mxp]

Well done!

In my 1680x1050 resolution the centered hud displays like this. As you can see, the item select arrow is not aligned properly.
In the alien hud the hud elements are set to ALIGN_LEFT or ALIGN_RIGHT, so that if you have a wider resolution the "left arm" of the hud and the "right arm" of the hud gets pulled away from each other. I discovered this because I wondered why the bolt icon is gone, while there is an open space for it.
Now I have changed the hudelements to ALIGN_CENTER, so now the arms stay together, even if you have a wider resolution.

[GeneralScott]

OH! I thought the normal version of this HUD WAS the alien (split apart) version at the top! I should probably fix that in my version of Pie's hud.

EDIT: NVM

[Lecavalier]

OK, I am nub. How do I get Hellrider and center  It's not in ESC -> Options -> HUD and that is the extent of my knowledge of anything. Please help

The options are in the main menu.
Be sure to run "exec ui/hotfix_install.cfg"

If even then the options dont show up, you could try the command "cg_hudFiles ui/layout6.cfg".

That got it, thanks.

Updated to v1.1!
Check the first post!

[Superpie]

I think this is venturing a bit far for a hotfix

[OhaiReapd]

I keep getting decompression failed message.

I keep getting decompression failed message.

Im using 7zip and it has no problems with decompressing it.

[OhaiReapd]

Idk what I am using, but it works for everything else I dl.

[E-Mxp]

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I present you a small Christmas present: an update! :3

Yes, the votes overlapping the teamoverlay started to annoy me, so here a fix!

Merry Christmas, E-Mxp!

Thanks.

Another update! Check the first post!

Unless some serious bugs come up I consider this to be the final version.

[ZeroKnight]

This looks really nice. If I can't get the Voltage HUD working, I think I'll use this.

I decided to use it.

[E-Mxp]

I just got a message from ZeroKnight that there is a bug that does not allow Tremulous to remember your hudsettings if you close it and fire it back up again.

Well, I would have to say that I had this problem too and indeed, for some reason Tremulous does not want to put the settings in the autogen.cfg file. Adding them in manually will fix this problem and afterwards it will remember your settings.

The commands this hud uses are also the ones found in the install config. These are:

Code:

set cg_hudFilesEnable "1"
set cg_hudFiles "ui/layout1.cfg"
set hud_scannerFullScreen "0"
set hud_nonScoreStageReport "1"
set hud_consoleAlignCenter "0"
set hud_blobCenter "1"
set hud_widescreen "0"
set hud_teamoverlayLocation "1"
set hud_dotXhairs "0"

This should fix the problem.

[ZeroKnight]

Just to save people some messing around, here's all the less obvious values.


For the different HUDs:

layout1 = Superpie Default
layout2 = Superpie Center
layout3 = Warrior Default
layout4 = Warrior Center
layout5 = Hellrider Defaut
layout6 = Hellrider Center

Aspect Ratio:
hud_widescreen

0 = 4:3
1 = 16:10
2 = 16:9


Crosshairs:
hud_dotXhairs

0 = Off
1 = White
2 = Blue
3 = Black


Everything else:

hud_blobCenter --- 0 = Adv. Goon barbs are in the bottom || 1 = Barbs are just below the crosshair
hud_consoleAlignCenter --- 0 = All text is in the top left || 1 = All text is in the top center

[E-Mxp]

Uploaded a very small fix.
I accidentally deleted a } and so the stage report on the human hud was broken. Fixed.

[E-Mxp]

Uploaded a new version to reflect the buildpoint changes in gppr2184 (March 02 2011).

Check the original post!

[E-Mxp]

Created a new hud that is more compact than the Centered hud, therefore: Compact.

Please try it out, and let me know what you think!

[Moose]

I like it, looks nice.

[ThisIsBS]

I've been using this hud forever, thanks for the compact. I'll try it today, looks really neat.

Edit: The hud menu never seemed to work for me. Where should I put the z_hudoption.pk3? Since you changed the layout thing (layout1.cfg/layout2.cfg), I can't figure out how to use the hud now (I wanted Hell Riders Compact).

Any help? Since z_hudoption.pk3 was next to the ui, I put it there in the Tremulous Installation base folder.

You should place all the files into your "/gpp/" folder, then open the console and type in "/exec hotfix_install.cfg".
That should do it.
