Note the Hull bar left from the clock. This need CombatMFD and Large or XL HUD in HUDSelector, but you can make it into any HUD using the same tricks.
This property can be added to any HUD? Can you give a brief rundown on the script involved in that? I use a modified Chupacabra HUD with a single added MFD display, and I wouldn't mind having a hull-integrity status on it if it's not too hard to add in.
Put this into the dials section of the .plist file of your HUD:
Code: Select all
{ data_source = "combatSLBar"; selector = "drawCustomBar:"; draw_surround = yes;
alert_conditions= 14; //do not show in the dock
alpha = 1.0; height = 2; width = 35; x = -125; y = 23; y_origin = -1; },
The hull label can be created in the legends section:
Code: Select all
{ text = "Hull"; align = 1; x = -93; y = 18; y_origin = -1; height=7; width=7;
alert_conditions= 14; //do not show in the dock
alpha=0.5;},
If you have CombatMFD OXP then you are done (works without the MFD equipment also), else you must put this into a timer in a worldScript:
Code: Select all
player.ship.setCustomHUDDial("combatSLBar", (player.ship.serviceLevel-75)/25);
There are more
Custom HUD dials filled by CombatMFD, for example
combatSpeed is very useful imho.

I've tried CombatMFD, but during a battle, I find I do worse when tempted to peek at the MFD instead of just keeping my eyes on the crosshairs! Simplify, simplify, simplify!

Oh. I would have expected a more fancy HUD in this one!

Norby, that would make a nice post for the Tweaking Thread, even though it's not OXP specific!

This is why I was happy when custom dials arrived: these can help to read the values near the bars, even without bringing up the MFD.

Done, thanks!
