Changelog

Version 1.5.1 (August-27-2008)

• Redesigned the "Server Info" dialog using new colors. It now should be able to fully display the values of the server variables (and player names) without cutting them;
• Credits icon ($) for humans no more depends on an image, thus it now works on all servers (pure and unpure) [Thanks Volt for the idea];
• Changed the text on the footer of the main screen;
• Fixed the Servers List screen being closed if the user clicked in the margins (last pixels) of the screen boundaries.

Version 1.5.0 (December-31-2007)

• Created a "Hud Options" menu to change the HUD's settings. It can be accessed through the main Tremulous screen.
  It contains:
  • A tab with an explanation about the HUD;
  • The option to toggle between different displays of the Crosshair;
  • An option to enable/disable the new Team Overlay;
  • An option to enable/disable the Lag Meter (it is faulting on the official menus);
  • A button to run the uninstaller, with a confirmation dialog.
  You can close the menu by pressing Esc, by clicking out of it or by clicking the OK button.
  [The idea of creating a configuration menu come from K-otic's HUD]
• Created a Team Overlay (a small Scoreboard that is displayed without the need of pressing Tab);
• Changed the background of the "Connecting to" and of the Server List screens;
• Fix to the uninstaller file (warriorHudUndo.cfg) that will now revert to the previous HUD set, instead of the default Tremulous HUD. Useful if the user was using a different HUD before installing my one;
• Some small improvements to the Loading screen;
• Moved the installation files to the ui folder;
• Readme updated.

Version 1.4.4 (November-13-2007)

• Added the Stage information centered in the bottom of the screen;
• Changed the color of the item selection mark in the Inventory;
• Text shadow for the pop-up text displaying the name of the selected Inventory item.

Version 1.4.3 (November-07-2007)

• Implemented the trick to hide the scrollbars from the Scoreboard;
• Scoreboard can now show nicks with up to 32 characters. Previously, it was limited to 24 and I guess Tremulous limit nicks to 31 characters, anyway.

Version 1.4.2 (July-06-2007)

• Fixed: there was a reference to a missing script in the server list screen since I added the fix for the "Ping" column;
• New: Human health points will change color according to these intervals: 100-75 = green, 74-25 = yellow, 24-0 = red;
• Changed the build timer color;
• Small details improved.

Version 1.4.1 (June-13-2007)

• Created a temporary solution to the problem where the "$" symbol was not shown on pure servers, now it will (hopefully) show the old symbol on those servers;
• Almost imperceptible improvement to the Loading Screen.

Version 1.4 (June-12-2007)

• Major rework in the Loading Screen: map screenshot is now displayed in fullscreen size, changed transparencies/colors and resized items;
• Added the "Options" button to the Main Menu - TinMan's suggestion;
• Included the fix for the "Ping" column sorting bug;
• Option to set crosshair for humans only;
• Fixed: in v1.3, the warriorHudDefCross.cfg was setting the crosshair only for the humans.

Version 1.3 (June-11-2007)

• Thanks Paradox for the tip.
  
  • Players can now choose between three behaviors for the crosshair:
    
    • Crosshair for all aliens and for humans (recommended);
    • Default Tremulous 1.1.0 (crosshair for humans and for some alien classes only);
    • No Crosshair at all (disable crosshair for both teams).
  • Now, those options can be changed during games without needing to restart Tremulous;
  • Please, refer to the "Installation" section of the Readme to know how to toggle between them.

• The previous feature allowed the remotion of two unnecessary files and some redundant code;
• Reduced Advanced Dragoon barbs transparency a bit so they are better visualized on bright backgrounds;
• Updated the "Installation" section of the Readme and added the "Installation Troubleshooting" section about a frequent problem;
• Renamed "Readme.htm" to "warriorHudReadme.htm".

Version 1.2.2 (June-10-2007)

• Fixed: "The scoreboard contents are slightly too low for the boundary boxes on them" - Thanks, TinMan;
• Some insignificant tweaks in the near code.

Version 1.2.1 (June-09-2007)

• Improved Scoreboard transparencies a bit;
• Small increase in the spectators space;
• Renamed the file warrior_default_hud.menu to warrior_spectator_hud.menu.

Version 1.2 (June-08-2007)

• Full Inventory for Humans! It shows everything you can carry now;
• Improved Scoreboard colors a bit;
• Separated the files into two versions: 1. With crosshair for all aliens (the recommended style) and 2. With the default Tremulous 1.1.0 alien's crosshair (only some aliens can use crosshair);
• Changed the purple gradient color in the Loading screen to a red one.

Version 1.1 (June-07-2007)

• Changed Scoreboard colors to match team colors;
• Shadows on Scoreboard texts;
• Fixed the server motd space in the map Loading screen that was overlapping progress bars on servers with long motd;
• Loading screen progress bars with background gradient;
• Some minor tweaks;
• Added version number to the package.

Version 1.0 (Initial Version) (June-06-2007)

• Many colors and transparency effects were changed [some color ideas were gotten from Phreak's HUD];
• On-screen texts with shadow, what helps reading texts a lot!;
• Crosshair for all aliens;
• Advanced Dragoon's barbs position from Phreak's HUD;
• The green "cross" symbol will change its color to red when the player has 9 or less HP [before, only the human "cross" would change to red];
• Created a new "credits" icon for humans using the money symbol ("$") instead of the default ("C");
• Bundled files organization was improved to reduce repeated texts on different files thus reducing the package size [idea from Wolfwings].

maybe you should make the inventory show everything

Looks nice, like the transparent parts!!

[Evlesoa]

yea man thats really good! Much better than *cough* someone around here who's hud is just re-arranged and... bulky IMO

[Warrior]

Yea will see how to make a full inventory without broking things and being compatible with low-res.

Note: for people like me that may have trouble to enter a server if using the .pk3, simply extract the file into your /base folder so you'll have a ui folder direct in the base folder (/base/ui).

Edit: Actually my inventory is acting the same way of the one from Paradox... it can show all items only if you keep the selection mark in some certain position.

[Warrior]

Updated!

[Unforgiven]

Looks great

How do I use it though?

I tried /cg_hudfiles but it said the file couldnt be found..

[E-Mxp]

OMFG!!! This is a great hud!!!! Everyone, Download this!!!!.....

Download Right NOW!!!![/size]

How do I use it though?

I tried /cg_hudfiles but it said the file couldnt be found..

Did you unzip it in the Tremulous/base file?
If you did, you only have to put /exec warriorhud.cfg into the console, or /cg_hudfiles "ui/warrior.cfg" would work to.
If you didn't unzip the .pk3, it should also work (have to be in base)

Also, I found a way to make the inventory show everything
just open warrior_human_hud.menu with Wordpad (or alike) and change the rect of //INVENTORY into 182.5 425 275 25. It should look like this:

Code: [Select]

   //INVENTORY
    itemDef
    {
      name "inventory"
     //rect 232.5 425 175 25
      rect 182.5 425 275 25
      visible 1
      decoration
      forecolor 1 1 1 .6
      ownerdraw CG_PLAYER_SELECT
    }Now you see the whole inventory without scroling

(ps:Notice that the maximum of items allowed in the screen is 6 (with 600X800). So if you have a Blaster, Gun, L-Armour, Helmet, Medkit and a Batterypack, you cant see the Grenade.
So sell that Batterypack and go PWN those Aliens )

[SexyGhost]

For some reason the new credit sign wont work :-? Everyhing else is perfect... btw Love the new scoreboard and loading screen.

EDIT: Ok I fixed it, but can you make another version without  alien crosshair?

[Odin]

Cool! The scoreboard reminds me of CounterStrike .

[Paradox]

Guess ill have to steal some of your stuff and modify it to be mine!
Mwahaha.
Unless you say no

The Read-Me file is on the net so you don't need to extract it to read.

First post updated.

@Paradox: You can use my ideas with the condition you keep the credits for them... be creative!

the $ sign next to credits is broken.

omggay

[dodo1122]

and i had to extract the files to ~/tremulous/base/ui for it to work, because with just the .pk3, it says couldn't find ui/warrior.cfg, using default.


dodo

[Warrior]

the $ sign next to credits is broken.

I don't know why, but if you run a local server using the tremulous.exe it will be ok. Tremulous seems to have some problems in finding non-default files/images... if someone can solve that problem with the "$" please tell me.

and i had to extract the files to ~/tremulous/base/ui for it to work, because with just the .pk3, it says couldn't find ui/warrior.cfg, using default.

Happens for me too.

Edit: I don't know why, but when I enter in the SST server, the "$" shows normally, what don't happen on the other servers...

[dodo1122]

sst is unpure, meaning sv_pure 0.

you can't use images not in pk3s on the pure list on pure servers.

[Warrior]

you can't use images not in pk3s on the pure list on pure servers.

and

Thanks. I thought it only applied to .pk3 files itself, especially .pk3 for maps. Nice to know about the images in the hud.

[dodo1122]

another "bug" i've found. I get double crosshair when adv goon and adv mara. Its pretty weird lookin ;s

[Warrior]

another "bug" i've found. I get double crosshair when adv goon and adv mara. Its pretty weird lookin ;s

I think it is nice!

Someone else dislikes the double crosshair for Adv Goon/Mara and wants it fixed?

[Paradox]

No, i actually like it, but if you just set the crosshair size up a bit, it looks fine.

Another trick is possibly using human crosshairs on aliens...

[TinMan]

You should make it so the human weapons don't scroll like they do. It's a tad bit annoying on HUDs that the icons all move when you scroll them, I'd rather have the selection image move to the item.

[Paradox]

That requires a rewrite of the uiScripts

[Plague Bringer]

Well, then, rewrite it!

xD

[n00b pl0x]

what do the "common" hud files do?

i.e. warrior_alien_common_hud

warrior_common_hud

(why no human?)

im guessing defaultcross means no alien crosshairs...

but i dont get warrior_default_hud either...

[Warrior]

n00b pl0x,
In warrior_common_hud I grouped blocks common to both teams; warrior_alien_common_hud contains blocks common to both alien types (grangers and non-grangers); these groups reduce repeated codes; humans don't needed one because builders/non-builders are in the same file. warrior_default_hud is the one for the spectator's hud.
Anyway, I'll see if I can eliminate some file for the aliens, grouping the blocks even more, without breaking the hud.

[n00b pl0x]

i dont see why having grangers and non grangers separated is such a big deal. it only adds like 1-2kb to the hud's filesize...
