[RELEASE] CRR-HUD

[Captain Beatnik]

Coluber Works and Shipyards Ltd. releases a new hud. The CRR-HUD was especially designed for the Coluber Red Racer heavy fighter (see https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11206) but the hud is also available as a separate software upgrade for other ships.

- simple one-config-file hud with no scripting;
- bigger scanner;
- bigger space-compass with integrated gauges for pitch, roll an yaw;
- newly-arranged gauges;
- new position of the comlog- and message-gui;
- additional control lights for energybomb, ECM, escapepod, shieldenhancements, energybanks,
galhyperdrive, docking computers and fuel-injectors;
- customized, integrated crosshairs;
- scales

Looks really nice - clean.

Well done.

Looks real nice - but IMO, for being cluttered... in a nice, tech-y way, that is. It passes the feeling that one definitively should read the manual before using.

It's a surprise to me that now one can make up gauges and functional icons for the HUDs.

Very nice design Captain Beatnik, simple, yet enhanced functionality on the guages, no manual required and easy to understand at a glance. Very nice indeed.

Thanks for this. I use this hud since today as my new standard hud. Excellent design!

Yes, I agree! Added it to the [wiki]OXP List[/wiki], apparently I missed it earlier.

That is impressive work.

Hello,

I've discovered that under v1.77 the "Energy Gauge" indicator bar in this HUD doesn't display properly - instead of the solid bar in 1.76, it appears to be no bar with a thin line running through it. It's not possible to see how much energy is left (until you get "Press Space Commander" ).

This is a bug in 1.77, and will be fixed in the next release. The n_bars setting is not being read properly in the HUD definition. Apologies for not catching this before release.

There is a workaround for this problem. Open the hud.plist file, and insert "n_bars = 1" at the top.

Code: Select all

{
	// workaround for 1.77 bug
	n_bars = 1;

	// C R O S S H A I R   S E T T I N G S
	crosshair_scale		=  32.0;
	crosshair_width		=   1.5;

This will make the HUD display properly again in 1.77.

Thanks for this - all working again.

Would this issue also be responsible for this anomaly that has appeared on my Combat HUD (and others)?

[cim]

No, that's a completely different (and previously unknown) HUD display problem.

[Smivs]

No, that's a completely different (and previously unknown) HUD display problem.

OK, well it's appeared since I installed v1.77 and seems to affect the CombatHUD, and others derived from it such as the custom HUDs the Clippers have as well. Nothing in the log as far as I can see.
These were all rendering correctly under v1.76.1.

OK, well it's appeared since I installed v1.77...

Did you not have a trunk version (that became 1.77) installed at any time?

Did you not have a trunk version (that became 1.77) installed at any time?

No. I D/L'd one just prior to becoming ill, but never installed it. So I've never had a trunk version installed, I just upgraded my main install from 1.76.1 to 1.77.
