HUD Question

I am working on a Proof of Concept for a game I am working. I want to edit the HUD to add some elements to the game screen but I am not 100% sure where to do it.

Can anyone point me to the right place?

Side note, I'd like them to display in any game mode.

Thanks

Depends, how do you intent to do it? Are we talking hardcoded UI right in the source or.. ?

I'd like to hardcode it if possible, there are a few ui changes I need done to make it look visually like what I have in my mind. Its hard because my coding is crap and the coder friends that I worked on a previous project with are really busy to lend a hand.

I am also looking to implement the radar to be present in all game modes if that is possible as well.

Thanks

Re: HUD Question

Look at the gl_drawhud and gameplayhud functions.  For the radar (‘minimap’), just change needminimap.

Re: HUD Question

keep in mind proportion, not all screen resolutions are proportionally the same. So you need to put your h/w in your out put especially on thing in the lower and leftmost quadrants.
