Oolite Bulletins

• Dashboard with black translucent background

• Persistent log screen
• Message and log windows, Scanner, compass and gauges have a supplemetary background to enhance readability when facing the sun or other light sources
• Energy and Shields gauges have red translucent background for better readability
• Weapon temperature integrated in crosshair
• Additional energy and shields gauges under the crosshair when in red alert
• Four modes
  • in green condition the crosshair and scanner are dimmed
  • in yellow condition the crosshair is cyan, and the scanner brighter
  • in red condition the scanner is yellow/organge to reduce emphasis on non hostile ships and there are additional gauges to show energy/shields status under the crosshair
  • when docked the message screen replaces the scanner which is hidden along with compass and log screen

• Tested with Oolite 1.77
• Better compatibility with Troomp.oxp when used with BGS.

• Fixed misplaced message screen at game startup

I really like this HUD. I've just noticed that no-one bothered to add it to the OXP list wiki page, so I've rectified that oversight now. But I couldn't really think of a good way to describe it...?

It's not persistent. I opened it to show how it looks like in the screenshots
The first two screenshots shows how it is with the log hidden.

comm_log_gui =
{
    ... other definitions
    permanent = yes;
};

You are probably aware of this already, but just for reference, you can make it persistent if you want. Just set the permanent key to yes in hud.plist under the comm_log_gui definitions:

Code: Select all

comm_log_gui =
{
    ... other definitions
    permanent = yes;
};
