Sung, do you run in full screen mode? If not try changing your .GNUstepDefaults to do so, it might help.

Woah! Great i love this! This is the right way to make the look smart.

Thanks Sung, like you I would like to improve the general looks of Oolite, but not at the expense of the great gameplay!

Perhaps it is better so realize a modern HUD Display like that:

I would like to the game to allow the kind of HUD control, that would let people do oxp HUDs like that.

Not sure why the HUD isn't available on Oosat2 yet, but for the time being it can be downloaded from http://www.marlinsoftware.co.uk/Oolite/FighterHUD.zip

This link doesn't seem to work, and I can't find the HUD on oosat2 - where is it?

Regards, F.

Decided to quickly try it now

The window is the default size which im guessing is 800x600 and myscreen is running at 1280x800 (its a ws laptop).

I get exactly this, in or out of full screen mode. I'm using the Linux port.

Hi Brianetta,

Try opening up the file hud.plist in the Config folder, then search for the text hud.png and play around with the Y position (currently -15).

Code: Select all

		<dict>
			<key>image</key>
			<string>hud.png</string>
			<key>width</key>
			<real>640</real>
			<key>height</key>
			<real>480</real>
			<key>x</key>
			<integer>0</integer>
			<key>y</key>
			<integer>-15</integer>
			<key>alpha</key>
			<real>1.00</real>
		</dict>

Hi devilhunter,

Start WordPad, then pick File/Open, change file types to 'All Documents' then open hud.plist in the Oolite/AddOns/FighterHUD.oxp/Config folder. locate the line <string>hud.png</string>, eight lines below this contains the line you need to change (try a much bigger negative value).
