Edited:


I have created a very minor implementation of a hud. It shows only the stuff I am interested in. It has a timer so it is fair that I share it with you if you want to use it. This is what it looks like.

• left box - timer that ticks either up or down (your choice)
• middle box - health (including any armor, belt, and thigh pads)
• right box - weapon name and ammo count (and the background color of this box changes depending on the weapon)

Here is what you do to show it. I'll start with my normal preferences. This is optional for you, but, I guess you'll find out if any of your stuff overlaps with the medHUD.

Basically I hide everything:



Now.... even though we have unchecked "Show Player Status", this doesn't mean UT is going to hide it. No, no. Instead it is going to draw it smaller and at the bottom of your screen. Yeesh!

But the is where I wanted my hud stuff drawn, and, I don't need the UT hud health if I'm going to draw it myself. Fortunately, we can change this with a medScoreBoard setting.

Look in your system folder. If you don't have a medHUD.ini, make one.
Now open the medHUD.ini
If you do not see a [medScoreBoard224.medHUD] section in there, add one.
Now add this key/value to that section, end result looks like this:

[medScoreBoard224.medHUD]
bHideHealth=True 

Now we add the medHUD section. Add this into the file too, so by now it should at least look like this:

[medScoreBoard224.medHUD]
bHideHealth=True

[medHUD001.medHUD]
show=true
timerMode=up 

The show=true is what tells the game if it has to show it or not. So if you don't want to use it, set show=false.

For the timerMode setting, it accepts either up or down.
up means it simply ticks upwards.
down means it ticks down the remaining time in the game.

Any questions just ask.
