Hope you'll have some alpha or beta game 'til the Expo. Looks nice. What engine are you using? DP or some custom modified one?

for now i'm using bakers fitz plus. till LH fix's hlbsp on darkplaces. i have a feeling i'm not good enough to do my own engine coding. so i'm developing with what i have for now.

What ORPG is that?

it's unnamed at the moment.

What is "broke" exactly?

when loading the bsp it says something about missing textures for hlbsp. which the map works in fitz i already spoke with him. he needs help from someone doing debugging.

anyways, shacks for the slightly richer.

"When it's done(tm)."

Awesome.

Just don't make us wait 12+ years for this.

Make it well commented so it's super stealab I MEAN, portable too


though, stuffcmding that would be heavy traffic....

Yeah, highly portable is my priority, don't worry.
And you don't need to stuffcmd everything: you can simply build the hud in a regular .cfg file and simply "exec hud.cfg".



In the pic above, the map name, the BSP file, the player name and the health are read from the engine itself ($mapname, $bspname, $names[0] and $health). Also, there's a picture and a solid black strip (badly placed by me over the picture, not a bug ). You can set the strip color and/or alpha, and for text and pictures you can set alpha, too.

Now, I need to sleep a bit, I've been coding straight for like 8 hours

this could be awesome

*gives it an official Urre thumbs up*

will you be able to do things like visual inventories with this?

Like a chest in a RPG, for example ? Yeah, with a bit of work it's quite possible. ATM I'm sticking to the available information in the standard status bar (plus some additional stuff like if you're in the intermission or if the -rogue/-hipnotic flags are set), but without breaking compatibility with standard protocol 15 you could check the unused positions into the cl.stats array for custom stuff and draw/print accordingly. Or, if you're doing something completely unrelated to Quake itself, you can just ignore the predefined for convenience engine variables ($health, $currentammo, etc) and look directly into the cl.stats ($stats[0], $stats[1], etc). What, where, when and how is drawn/printed in your HUD is up to you.
