How to display a new HUD without replacing the original bm files?

3d0s.

I used to believe that we only want what we can't have. I was wrong. The truth is, the wonderful truth is, we only want what we think we can't have.

well, the problem with 3dos is, that they have to be displayed at a fixed level position. I need something that can just be displayed to the screen. Any ideas?

No, sorry. I use ParseArg to change the eyeoffset, and I'd like to display a new HUD item, then, but I don't like the common ways (firing sprite or 3do templates in front of the camera)...

Can't, although you can try by replacing bms that are not in use for your modification (if it's a no force power mod, you can recycle force bm and make your own etc)

If you think JK is limited, try JO...

no, I'm waiting for NWN. And programming my own games.

There is a way around everything you know...

It just depends on whether you like it or not. Cant you just edit or add a bm to the inventory and work from that?

And fill the whole screen? 'Cause that's what I wanted to do...

I wanted to do similar thing in Sniper Arena having a circular zoom scope view covered by black, so it looks like you're looking through a scope, I scrapped the idea on the last condition but I kind of managed by adding a flat 3do in front of the player shooting.

Exactly what Hellcat said. I agree.

yeah, I'm doing it the same way now...but it's not very elegant. And it uses a lot of processing time.

Wouldn't it be possible to use sprites? But if that doesn't work, how the heck would you add a BM to the inventory?

I AM using sprites. The problem is the 0.01 pulse this methode requires...

Right, but does it really take so much cpu power? Every level architecture gets redrawn at about 30 times a second. Probably the best pulse you get is about the best fps you get in game.

Try to optimize code?

I don't think JK is frametime based...

I didn't say so.
From expericnce, the best pulse I could get on a p2 machine was around 40 times.

By comparing redrawing of levels to about the same amount of redrawing of a sprite, I thought it may not much of a cpu usage like you said.

Okok, I'm giving up. It DOES not use much processing time. But I still don't like it http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif ...
