This is a slightly modified version of Hopper's M1A1 HUD. It moves the HUD to the lower left corner of the screen and allows for fullscreen mode without any black bar. This should work for any Aleph One scenario, including M1.
I also made a few small edits to the HUD itself for aesthetics and transparency.
Thanks to wrkncacnter for the additional scripting.
Fixed margins so the lua console can be viewed. Thanks to Terin in the Marathon Discord for fixing this!
Hello and welcome to my first post on Simplici7y!
This a fix for the Enhanced HUD plugin where you can actually see the Crosshair for the SMG. The step-by-step tutorial is in the README file of this mod. I'm actually surprised that no one else tried to fix the crosshair, since it took me a couple of minutes in Paint 3D.
Enjoy!
1.0 - Release of this mod.
This plugin is a port of the Durandal XBLA interface to Aleph One. Compatible with Marathon 2 and Infinity, and included in the all-in-one downloads of those games.
This version is distributed with Aleph One 1.8.1. Since the last S7 release, the following fixes were added:
Are you working on a Lua HUD, and want to know how to draw inventory panels or weapons just like the built-in one? This plugin acts just like the hardcoded HUD from M2 and Infinity, so you can see how to duplicate any feature in Lua. It works with third-party scenarios too.
Fixes errors in net games with a kill limit or time-based scoring.
I've always found the weapon reticles in the enhanced hud plugin to be too dim and hard to see, so I made brighter ones. To use, simply replace the default images in the enhanced hud plugin folder with these.
This HUD prevents landscape mirroring by letterboxing the 3D world view window. It automatically and dynamically resizes the view window whenever the resolution of the game window increases or decreases, whenever sniper mode is toggled on or off, whenever extravision is picked up or expires... In other words, whenever the FOV changes, no matter the cause (teleportation effect excluded).
Here's a little video showcasing how it works (16:9 screen, initially 90° FOV, then sniper mode is toggled on and then off).
It is based on Basic HUD by treellama, and has the same compatibilities as that HUD with regards to scenarios (for example, it is compatible with Marathon 2: Durandal, Marathon Infinity and Rubicon X, but not with Marathon).
NOW UPDATED FOR ULTRAWIDE AND 16:10!
Experience the authentic 1994 jank of Marathon 1's classic HUD as if it were made for your monitor!
This plugin takes the classic HUD and extends it to fill modern 16:9, 16:10, and Ultrawide displays.
The same plugin covers widescreen monitors whether it is 16:9, 16:10, or 21:9. It automatically adapts to your chosen resolution.
With the extra space, additional inventory pages are displayed. In Solo games, weapons and ammo are displayed. In Netgames, the scoreboard is always displayed.
Based on the Default M1 HUD plugin included with Aleph One's M1 release.
For a more minimal but still classic style HUD, check out my Widescreen Marathon 2 HUD plugin, which includes a specially modified variant for Marathon 1.
Wide Marathon 2 & Marathon Infinity HUD here.
v2.611 - just a re-zip since the plugin wasn't in a folder, sorry
v2.610 - Added 16:10 version for Steam Deck and Mac players. Updated to newer Default M1 HUD script.
v2.19 - Added 21:9 Ultrawide support
NOW UPDATED TO SUPPORT MARATHON 1 AND MOST CUSTOM SCENARIOS!
This plugin allows you to experience Marathon 2's original 1995 classic status bar HUD, but modified to better support today's widescreen displays. This plugin supports Marathon 2, Marathon Infinity, and many scenarios, and even provides an M2-like HUD for Marathon 1.
This widescreen HUD has 2 flavors, a 'lite' version and an 'enhanced' version:
CLASSIC M2 (UNRESTRICTED VIEW): The original HUD, uses original graphics, but removes the letterboxing on the 3D game view, allowing any widescreen aspect ratio, should be compatible with all scenarios
CLASSIC M2 (WIDESCREEN ENHANCED): Extends the status bar graphics to fill a 16:9 screen. To utilize the extra space, a second inventory page is displayed. In Netgames, this second page shows the scoreboard.
Due to the necessity of custom graphics, "Widescreen Enhanced" HUD is only guaranteed to work with the following scenarios:
See included Readme for installation instructions.
All Lua work is based on "M2 Default HUD" posted here by Hopper, as well as the scenarios' original art, with additions by me to support the enhanced widescreen features.
Widescreen Marathon 1 Classic HUD is available here
v2.02: code tweaks to prevent redundant background fills; no visual changes
v2.01: fix terminals at 'Largest' setting scaling improperly at very low game resolutions
v2.0: add marathon 1 and trojan huds, and code cleanup
v1.9: add scenarios support, resize HUD to be a perfect 2x scale at 1080p, add lite version
First time uploading anything here, hope I don't screw something up!
Only compatible with Marathon1.
I discovered the "MaraMag March '95 HUD" while trawling through the Marathon Tilogy Boxset disc and I really liked it. It was kind of like a dark mode for the original release.
So I decided to spend a little bit and whip up an edit of this hud found here: https://simplici7y.com/items/floatingxhud-m1a1-ultimate-version/
An Aleph One compatible version of the maramag hud can be found here: https://simplici7y.com/items/new-interface-maramag-march-95-11/
Neither of the above files are required for this release. However if its taboo to include the FloatingX files to make this work out of the box I apologize and will edit my upload and link the required files as appropriate. However currently I left in the two readme files for FloatinX and the M1 edit. So the original authors are credited.
Made some quit edits so the plugin appears as "MaraMag FloatingX" and not just "FloatingX"
