NOW UPDATED FOR ULTRAWIDE!

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 and Ultrawide displays.

The same plugin covers both 16:9 and 21:9 monitors. 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 Classic M1 HUD plugin posted here by Hopper.

Wide Marathon 2 & Marathon Infinity HUD here.

Notes for version 2.19:

2.19 - Ultrawide support

  • 21:9 version of HUD added; the plugin will detect your screen size automatically
  • In Solo games, 'Weapons' is now the pinned extra inventory page instead of 'Ammunition'; this is because otherwise an empty 'Items' page would stick around until you manually switched off of it
  • Tweaks to graphics
  • Now only uses the Truetype font with Software mode (because Software can't scale bitmap fonts)

1.1 - Extra Inventory Page

  • In Solo games, 'Ammunition' page is always pinned
  • In Netgames, the Scoreboard is always pinned

Good HUD for status bar haters Basic HUD

Thanks for implementing the scaling settings!

I think Ne Cede Malis absolutely should not have music, and having it drastically alters its very deliberately ambient mood, therefore I can't recommend this addon to any Marathon Infinity newcomers. I even feel that the Electric Sheep levels would be better to have music than Ne Cede Malis.

Otherwise, I am enjoying this addon greatly, and I don't mind having music in any of the other levels.
