How do I edit the doom status bar? (Visually)

[twistedhydrgoen]

I would like to change it for my wad, I searched on google and I saw no results.

2 methods.

 

1: Replace all STBAR graphics with custom-made ones that are identical in size to the original (Be careful as invisible holes in Vanilla gets buggy as the game was never meant to render the game itself under the hood).

 

2:

This is if you want a far more dynamic handling of the status bar. Do bare in mind ZDooM (and other ZDooM-based engines like QZ, GZ or LZ) as well as PR/GLBooM are the best engines to utilise with this option.

Prboom doesn't support SBARINFO

 

That's why the main rule of this subforum must be "Sourceport must be mentioned first".

Prboom doesn't support SBARINFO you goof, method 1 is required for any non-zdoom ports. If prboom supported SBARINFO a lot more prboom mods would've made use of that at some point instead of absolutely none.
