[*] up to 4 MFDs
[*] orange color
[*] multiple status lights
[*] horizontal partially numeric shield readouts
[*] orange color for top dial, blue for medium, red for low, except for fuel (inverted for speed & cabin temp)

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
Again a very nice hud, looks cool!
I took a look at the code to figure out the syntax for the key to change the color of the dials. I completely misunderstood the description in the wiki so till today canging the colors of the dials nerver worked in my hud desingns. Now I know how it works.

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
Can you tell what was the inspiration?
I'd have loved vertical dials and pack them on the right side, but then making some sort of a numeric display would be really difficult - either using images, as in your CB HUD, or by wrangling the Detector OXP code....

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
Currently I´m tinkering around with a shield dial that shows different colors depending on the installed shield enhancements. I saw the blue dials in your hud an took a look at the hud.plist to find out how this works. But real life is keeping me very busy at the moment, so it will take time until the new hud is completed.Zireael wrote:Can you tell what was the inspiration?
I think drawing scales for a vertical dial is possible only by defining the proper legends in the hud.plist. The vertical scale I´m thinking of would require multiple similar entries with increasing y-coodrinates in the legends section of the hud.plist, I guess about 10-20 instead of the 1 or 2 for a horizontal scale. But as I said already I think it is possible.Zireael wrote:I'd have loved vertical dials and pack them on the right side, but then making some sort of a numeric display would be really difficult - either using images, as in your CB HUD, or by wrangling the Detector OXP code....

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
I can admit I didn't think of varying the colors depending on equipment, the only vague idea I had was changing the color of the shield that was getting hit.
Something about a script that flashed the shield bar in a different color if current value < value a turn ago. But I'm not a master of JS and I've left for hols now.

This HUD is now available via the OXZ manager.

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
For some reason I can't get this to download, it's now failed several times.
later - forgot to say this is under Windows 7 64-bit.
and I think the latest.log entry for this is
00:18:18.147 [oxz.manager.error]: Downloaded OXZ does not contain a manifest.plist, has been left in C:\Oolite/oolite.app/GNUstep/Library/Caches/org.aegidian.oolite/Oolite-download.oxz

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
This is the old "all the files are nested inside an un-wanted folder" problem, rearing its' ugly head again.ffutures wrote:the latest.log entry for this is

See step 4 of the OXZ Guide.

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
I followed point 4 to the letter, zipping up the contents of the oxp folder ... dunno what happened.

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
My apologies.. you certainly did.. however..
Here's two similar internal
Do you see the difference in the first and last lines of each?
Here's two similar internal

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
Indeed, I do. The manifest.plist Wiki page neglected to point out the need to have the brackets!
EDIT: All fix'd now.

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
Sorry to say it's still failing - the version no. now shows as 0.1.1 but it fails to install in apparently the same way.

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
...
That's really weird, as there's a manifest.plist and the brackets are in and it's identical with the plist on the site.
Any ideas?

Re: [Release] OrangED HUD
Your download URL is http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/File:O ... _0.1.1.oxz
That is not an OXZ file, it's a page which tells you where an OXZ file is, and Oolite isn't sophisticated enough (by a long way) to figure it out.
Change the download URL to http://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/5/5 ... _0.1.1.oxz
