changing the HUD.

[Dodo]

hi,
im having trouble putting the ammo count to the right side of the screen. even when i set the "xpos" and the "ypos" to "0" it stays in the same place. And setting the how tall and wide the ammo bar is doesnt change it. aslo i cant make the background transparent, PaintBackgroundType?..
thanks

Are you changing the resource file, or the code?

im changing the .txt file in the resource folder.

Hmm. You could force it in the code. In the object that defines it, add something like "this->setxpos()" or something. I can't remember the exact command, but you can override the resource files.

hmm, so youre saying it isnt possible setting the ammo to the left side of the screen with the .txt in the resource folder ?

I'm assuming you've buggered something up. Changing the txt (I'm sure it was a .res, actually) should do it.

hmmm, ill try this...

HudAmmo
{
"fieldName" "HudAmmo"
"xpos" "0"
"ypos" "400"
"wide" "136"
"tall" "36"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"

"PaintBackgroundType" "2"

"text_xpos" "8"
"text_ypos" "20"
"digit_xpos" "44"
"digit_ypos" "2"
"digit2_xpos" "98"
"digit2_ypos" "16"

-dodo

edit: nope, nothing happend

ill try it with this

HudAmmo
{
"fieldName" "HudAmmo"
"xpos" "16"
"ypos" "400"
"wide" "136"
"tall" "36"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"

"PaintBackgroundType" "2"

"text_xpos" "8"
"text_ypos" "20"
"digit_xpos" "44"
"digit_ypos" "2"
"digit2_xpos" "98"
"digit2_ypos" "16"

Im Qfused.

 

[crackhead]

me too. you should just need to change the .res file if your all your doing it is moving it?

 

[Dodo]

"text_ypos" "20"
"digit_xpos" "44"
"digit_ypos" "2"
"digit2_xpos" "98"
"digit2_ypos" "16"

didnt work. it still sits there on the right side of the screen.

Just browse through the code, see where the .res values are loaded, and if they're not changed afterwards. Wouldn't be the first time they hardcoded stuff
