Z GrOovy BBS MiLHUD Hud{0.92} BETA 27Dec-2013
*** Foreword & credits ***
I needed some time off shipbuilding, so I built this.
This hud has been built upon the openstep version of MilHUD 4.0 by Wyvern - Based on GenericHUD by KW and Thargoid, and MilHUD 3.1 by Wyvern. There are a lot of additions, but the core of this is MilHUD 4.0.
It is recommended to use at least version 1.77.1 of Oolite.
This hud uses an ammended version of the HUD Vanisher by Wildeblood, so the hud will not hide the primeable equipment screens nor the F5-F11 screens. Only with the internal views (F1, F2, F3 and F4) will the hud be visible in space.
ZZ_GUI_Vanisher_1.0.oxp is a seperate oxp since it would not trigger when merged with the hud. All credit for making the script goes to Wildeblood. I just changed some values so it would work for the ZZ Hud.

This hud has been tested in fullscreen mode, not in a window, it is also a test version, therefore there might be bugs or logs.
@ PaGroove : Should work on the Mac also now. Feedback always welcome.
I hope I have not forgotten anyone.

This hud will work with all resolutions (widescreen and regular.)
Minimum resolution for legibility is 1024 * 768
Resolutions 1280 x 600 and 1280 x 700 NOT supported; sorry...
In the Images folder (ZZ_GrOovy_MilHUD-v0.9.oxp\Images) there are alternative files should you find the colored huds too painful on they eye, since they have lots of contrast.
The hud images are called, hudred-lowcontrast.png, hudyellow-lowcontrast.png, and hudgreen-lowcontrast.png, should you want to change them out, delete the -lowcontrast bit after deleting the high contrast originals.
This hud will work with all ships, the telescope remains where it is at the moment, up there where it belongs.
Have fun!
*** Installation ***
Delete all previous versions since this one might have a different name, then install this one.
The hud contains just a few icons. Instead the icons have been replaced by abbreviated words that everybody (playing Oolite or not) should understand.
For those of you who liked the "contraster ring in the middle" from the original Milhud, uncomment the // contraster in the hud.plists files "milhudred.plist" and "milhudyellow.plist"
From:
//{ // contraster
// image = "contraster.png";
// x = 0;
// y = 0;
// height = 182;
// width = 182;
// alpha = 0.30;
//},
to:
{ // contraster
image = "contraster.png";
x = 0;
y = 0;
height = 182;
width = 182;
alpha = 0.30;
},
- So what does this do ?
This hud attempts to put everything at its place, providing the required information for the required alert level.
The moving white pips in the middle of the crosshairs are the roll and pitch indicators. Try to use them to align your shot since you will fly a straight line when they are overlapping
each other. The yaw indicator is not used.
Try to stay out of "Critical level", cause you will be getting something very basic, as it should be. Functions might still be there, but you will no longer get visual feedback. (scanner is disabled when critical, as are a lot of other instruments). Some basic instruments will work, or work half.
The middle of the hud contains a few icons when you have purchased the right equipment. Here's a list (see screenshot too earlier)
- Nanobots (self repair, not the bots themselves)(red or blue icon) - bug icon
- cargospotter (green binoculars icon underneath the crosshairs
- missile spoof (small rocket icon green or red depending on installed or not)
- the word IFF (installed the IFF police scanner upgrade ? ) the word IFF will show above the hud.
- Purchasing the ore processor also shows up on the hud (2 gears icon top left) - not shown because not purchased in screenshot.
