Experimental HUD Bars

[nahuel]

I am experimenting with bars in the HUD. This only works with a custom ssqc with "shared" data. I am looking for a graphic artist who thinks can make some pretty graphic with this stuff Thanks to Cobalt for the idea. this is a little LQ video

Hello Nahuel,
the Video looks great but I have a little problem here:


Just a question - is it possible to use Sevens Small Mod..-Source as Codebase instead of 1.06?

Nice Nahual...very good for a start!

Can the bar go horizontally accross the screen or just verticly? Im thinking maybe the oxygen bar that I told you about in PM, can better be seen horizontally....perhaps even the position x-y coordinates of any of these bars can be moved by the client via a command?

Very strange problem with that! what version of darkplaces are you using??

yeah, this is posible check the "Sbar_DrawBar " function, change the "x" for the "y" and vice versa

the problem is with the ratio, only works correctly for 4x3. I will fix the problem

I wanted to ask. Is there a way to toggle on/off ibar while keeping sbar in darkplaces ? I consider implementing it through csqc but first wanted to be sure it is not already present.

yeah is totally possible, you only need define a new stat in ssqc, for example
SBAR
in csqc you can write a conditional, if SBAR value is 0, you dont show the sbar if SBAR value is 1 you call the function to show the sbar

Very cool idea nahuel!
Are you considering the ability to change the size of the bar as I feel it takes a great deal of the real-estate on the screen as you show it in your vid. Maybe as a part of your already excellent hud only smaller? Just my thought. Love the concept.

I asked whether there is such functionality already built in DP. In original quake you could hide ibar through screen size slider. Anyway I'll try to make a key toggle that will cycle: engine hud - your custom hud - sbar only hud. It shouldn't be much work, if succeed I'll post it in your csqc custom hud thread.

Hi Nahuel: Dresk says his HUD is coded where if in the QC for observer mode you set health to -1, it wont display the hud. Would you be able to do something like this as an option with your huds? Hows things going with the artists btw?

Yes, in sbar.qc in the function Sbar_Draw write lines like this very above

float cobalt;
cobalt = GetStat_FLOAT_TRUNCATED(STAT_HEALTH);
if (cobalt < 0)
return;

This will work (not tested)

What kind of graphics are you still lacking per your initial thread post here Nahuel (if any)? Was this rolled into Seven's SMC?

[ceriux]

is there a place with information on how to draw a hud display like this? like a source code or some kind of documentation?
