[Release] AlmostDefault HUD

[Tichy]

Edit: This HUD is no longer mantained. There's an updated and much better version made by spara, here: Aad-HUD

This is a very simple hud. Very similar to the default and Combat HUDs (from which I borrowed the ideas).
My aim was to make the default hud a little more readable and less obstrusive. I made little changes because I think that the default hud is alredy very good and balanced.

- Removed Pitch/Roll indicators
- Enabled joystick sensitivity indicator. Integrated in compass (like in CB-HUD)
- Speed near Fuel, Temperature and Alt; Shields near Energy banks
- Messages and log above the gauges (like in Combat HUD)
- Target reticle senitive
- Bigger scanner
- Swapped Aegis/status - Compass
- Widescreen and Normal screen versions (thanks to Wildeblood for the script)

I like these changes Tichy as I too like the standard HUD, your HUD make sensible mods to the original without losing its overall style and usefulness, well done!

Oolite gives me the same feelings of Arch Linux (the distribution I'm using on my pc): it's fun to play with, and it's fun to build it as you like it to be.

Started using this just recently, and I highly doubt I'll be using any other HUD anytime soon. Least not on this crappy machine. USB Oolite's another story.

Why so bitter?

Ooh... shiny...

I uploaded a new pachage including a wide screen version. (see first post)

[Wildeblood]

I created a new version for wide screen displays. It has a much larger scanner.

That's not a big scanner, this is a big scanner :-

If you want to use the normal version, replace hud.plist with hud-square.plist.

This is all you need to automate the selection:-

Code: Select all

this.startUp = function()
	{
		if (this.$checkScreenAspectRatio() >= 1.60)
			{
			player.ship.hud = "my-widescreen-hud.plist";
			log(this.name,"Widescreen");
			}
		else
			{
			player.ship.hud = "my-old-fashioned-hud.plist";
			log(this.name,"Sad screen");
			}
	}

this.$checkScreenAspectRatio = function()
	{
	var aspectRatio = oolite.gameSettings.gameWindow.width / oolite.gameSettings.gameWindow.height;
	return aspectRatio.toFixed(2);
	}
