Yet another contribution to the collection of HUD´s

[Cody]

Many thanks, admiral... has that little problem mentioned in the above link been sorted?

Yes, it's all good now.

[Gimi]

Thank you Smivs and A_C.
My first micro-OXP (for personal use only) works fine. Reticle turns red, com and message gui has moved to the left. Now, to start adjusting so that I can have one on each side.

[Smivs]

Make the 'x' co-ordinate into a positive number, say 200.

[Cody]

Tinker with the 'row size' as well... you'll get more text in using a smaller row.

This one I have already discovered. Thanks.

[Captain Beatnik]

What happens while the clock is adjusted? Will the ' (adjusting)' be printed only outside the screen?

there is enough room left beside the HUD, the picture I posted shows only a detail.

@smivs and another_commander: Thanks for the code to change the position of the comlog and the message gui. That will come in handy.

btw: Is there a documentation or summary about all the possible settings in the hud.plist available?

greetings

Hi, is it possible to move the message that keeps blocking my view Using just notepad++ ?

I'm using the milhud.plist

I looked at what is typed here on this thread, but in note pad it all looks different

I've no idea what to put or where to put it,I just want to move the message over to the left.

[Kaks]

plists can be written in either xml

<key>something</key>
<float>1.5</float>

or openstep format

something = 1.5;

Most oxps of late use the easier to read openstep, but you probably opened an xml formatted plist...

[Cmdr Radan]

yeah, it looked like the first one.

can it be done , or do I need to open it in a different way?

(total noob on this btw)

[Kaks]

Having had a look at this thread, it looks like your best bet - if you're on windows - is to convert the openstep stuff from the examples above to xml using the program mentioned there, then insert the xml-ified bit it in the right spot!

If you're on a mac, you should be able to convert between the two formats at will!

[Killer Wolf]

reet, it's not working for me. i've got

Code: Select all

<key>comm_log_gui</key>
	<dict>
		<key>height</key>
		<string>100</string>
		<key>row_height</key>
		<string>10</string>
		<key>width</key>
		<string>250</string>
		<key>x</key>
		<string>-195</string>
		<key>y</key>
		<string>100</string>
	</dict>
	<key>message_gui</key>
	<dict>
		<key>height</key>
		<string>160</string>
		<key>row_height</key>
		<string>12</string>
		<key>width</key>
		<string>210</string>
		<key>x</key>
		<string>-200</string>
		<key>y</key>
		<string>-50</string>
	</dict>

in my hud plist, and i got an error about a missing selector. did a bit seach, found this https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?p=39454#p39454
so i've tried

Code: Select all

<key>comm_log_gui</key>
	<dict>
		<key>height</key>
		<string>100</string>
		<key>row_height</key>
		<string>10</string>
		<key>width</key>
		<string>250</string>
		<key>x</key>
		<string>-195</string>
		<key>y</key>
		<string>100</string>
					<key>selector</key>
			<string>resizeGuis:</string>

	</dict>
	<key>message_gui</key>
	<dict>
		<key>height</key>
		<string>160</string>
		<key>row_height</key>
		<string>12</string>
		<key>width</key>
		<string>210</string>
		<key>x</key>
		<string>-200</string>
		<key>y</key>
		<string>-50</string>
							<key>selector</key>
			<string>resizeGuis:</string>
	</dict>

and now i get

Code: Select all

[hud.dial.invalidSelector]: ***** ERROR: HUD dial in phantomNormalHUD.plist uses selector "resizeGuis:" which is not in whitelist, and will be ignored.
[hud.dial.invalidSelector]: ***** ERROR: HUD dial in phantomNormalHUD.plist uses selector "resizeGuis:" which is not in whitelist, and will be ignored.

[hud.dial.invalidSelector]: ***** ERROR: HUD dial in phantomNormalHUD.plist uses selector "resizeGuis:" which is not in whitelist, and will be ignored.
[gameController.exitApp]: .GNUstepDefaults synchronized.

any help would be appreciated, ta.

[Kaks]

Resizeguis is an old key that has been dropped from the code yonks ago.

it might well be a nesting issue,

comm_log_gui & message_gui need to both be at the same nesting level as overall_alpha, reticle_target_sensitive, dials and legends

Can you actually show us the whole of the plist? (the one without the useless resizeguis thing?)

[JensAyton]

You’ll note that the linked post does say resuzeGuis: wasn’t actually useful for HUDs at the time.

[Killer Wolf]

this is the whole thing so far
