AnotherHUD

[lpcore]

Here's another modified HUD example. It is kinda useless, just compacts the HUD in the bottom left corner, but maybe it can serve as an illustration.

INSTALLATION:
Unzip to mods/ folder. No additional steps required.

(POTENTIAL) ISSUES:

• The HUD overlap with the bottom of the character pane as well as the bottom of pet inventory. I haven't looked into resizing the left side panes (probably doable). Main problem is remaining stats are not visible.
• The 4 buttons for pet window (and whatever) are currently disabled.
• Only tested running Torchlight on Linux (using WINE).
• AnotherHUD adds a new DDS imageset (ui3.dds). No idea if this can cause problems on some setups.
• All the issues I haven't noticed (yet)

NO WARRANTY! For all I know, installing AnotherHUD may cause Armageddon.

VERY nice
and its nice to know you got the game to run under wine
any workarounds you had to do or was it pretty straight forward ?

It was fairly straight forward, I just had to install the visual c++ runtime.

Here is a thread discussing running Torchlight using WINE:

bottomhud.layout!! Excellent, that's the file I needed to change for my own HUD mod I think; I never even saw that file.

Thanks for your work on this!

I tried moving the player health and mana bubbles in bottomhud to the top of the screen, and to a small extent, you *can* move them, but only a little before they start to disappear under where I'm assuming the invisible bottom hud box ends, it starts to cut off. If anyone knows how to get around this, let me know.

It is doable. Look for the

Code: Select all

<Window Type="GuiLook/StaticImage" Name="PlayerHealth">

definition in the bottomhud.layout file. The health and mana bubble windows are embedded inside this window (which only covers the bottom 120 pixels of the screen). If you move them up one level into the toplevel window "PlayerHealthRoot" you can place them where ever you want.

Followup: You still may want to group them in a window and thereby position them relative to this window. Makes it easier to move the whole thing around on the screen if needed.

I'll not use this one (I just don't like it that much) but I DO LOVE all you people working on HUD mods!! Keep 'em coming...

Thx

I love this new UI. But I'd like to place the HUD in other position. May I ask a favor?
Could you make a version that the HUD is placed in the bottom center of the screen, not bottom left?
So that the HUD does not obscure both right/left panel. Thanks, anyway.

nice man, iv done a download on the mod and will give it a go later. but i have a question, is there any tutorials on how to re-mod the interface. id like to re skin it as well.

First, very nice changes, I like them a lot.

Second, I have been playing the alchemist as a summoner using the nether imps ect. however I dont get to see how many minions I have active out of my available set. Is there any chance that you could develop another mod to display the available number of minions from a set of skills? i.e. a box showing that I have x/X (available through talent points) nether imps and their health bars also including the 1/1 melee robot (provided that there are points in the skill) and the 1/1 ranged robot (same stipulation).

I envision this type of mod to be similar to the pet health bars in the top of the screen.

It may be outside the scope of "minions" but an additional box for the learned summons like the zombies or skeletal archers would also be helpful.

Thanks for the reply, are there any estimates about when the mod pack will be able to support that type of change?
