(NEW RELEASE) NumericHUDv3.oxp

[Zireael]

An aside: NumHUD v3 is one of my must-have OXPs.

[Ganelon]

Splendid work, V3 is quite impressive! I am just collecting up OXPs to outfit my new copy of Oolite after a rather long hiatus, and this was one of the very first I came looking for. I hoped it was updated, but didn't expect this degree of evolution. Trim, sleek and very functional.

Hey Ganelon... good to see you back again. Tip: get Randon Ship Names and Escort Formations.

[Ganelon]

Thanks El Viejo. I already grabbed Random Ship Names and it is a cool addition. Escort Formations, you say? I'll check it out.

Thanx Ganelon.

Expect more improvements. V3.1 will have some code improvements. Version 4 will be for use with 1.77(currently trunk only) and use text for the numbers. This could get interesting.

I like to view the fuel level when buying equipment, so I modified numerichudv3computerequip.plist to show it.



If someone are interested, this is how I changed the code:

Was wondering: could the distanceTo features of Aad-HUD be implemented with NumericHUD?

[Diziet Sma]

Was wondering: could the distanceTo features of Aad-HUD be implemented with NumericHUD?

Should be fairly easy. I went with adding the basic original version to my Talkative Compass script.js file, days ago.

Code: Select all

//distance to object
if (mode != "COMPASS_MODE_BASIC") {
           dist = (player.ship.position.distanceTo(whom) - whom.collisionRadius)/1000;
           player.consoleMessage(dist.toFixed(3)+" Klicks");
}

[Rese249er]

I was thinking more in line with integrating it into the HUD like the rest instead of just like Talkative SC...

Perhaps, I'll put it on the list of things to look at.

The big improvement in number design came about as I was experimenting with the selector drawStatusLight and experimenting with its' dimensions led me to discover that if one dimension was under 4 that you would actually get a grey line drawn instead of the status light. So any hud could use this technique to draw equipment icons, animated crosshairs, custom bar gauges both straight and curved, custom number or letter animations, etc, etc.

Somehow I must have read over this information previously . This will indeed come in handy when designing a new hud. Thanks, CSOTB!

This was mentioned with you in mind, actually. I was hoping to eventually see one of your huds with this method for your equipment icons, guage markings, etc. And your welcome.

[Diziet Sma]

the PPR guage in them not only gives the Proportion of Planetary Radius for your altitude but comes on ahead of the planetary mass lock so you can steer around it while remaining on torus-drive.

And that's a feature I both love and make extensive use of! Many thanks for adding it!

NumericHUDv3.oxp seems to block MarketObserver2.2.oxp . I am running 1.77. Any help would be appreciated.

This has been fixed by the new version of MarketObserver: 2.2.1.

Thanks so much!
