Widescreen HUD in DSDA or Nugget Doom?

[Beemer]

Hey, so I've been wondering, is there a way to maybe get an HUD lookin' like this mockup I made, somehow, or is it just GZDoom for now....

 

 

Also Happy New year Doomers :3

 

Edit: It is possible, at least for Nugget Doom, file attached below...

Such a HUD is perfectly doable in Nugget by using NUGHUD. In fact, a while back I recreated a similar GZ HUD with it just for fun:

oooo, I see, I think i actually might have played with this mod recently. Maybe I'll try and go over the NUGHUD docs to see what I can cobble up.

You can make something similar-ish in dsda-doom, the numbers etc. can be in those positions but without the actual statusbar background. Also the weapon and ammo numbers will be in a different font.

 

Not up to walking you through it right now but here's some links that might help

dsda hud docs: https://github.com/kraflab/dsda-doom/blob/master/docs/hud.md

some other huds to use as references:

thanks, though I'm already making one for Nugget Doom, might make a DSDA one later as well...

OK, I think I'm done
 

It looks good though unfortunately there's no way of having a "split" HUD with custom STBAR graphics (like with some mods, yet...), but other than that I think it makes a pretty decent modern vanilla-looking HUD. No extra bells and whistles. No mugshot graphics unfortunately for aesthetic reasons. Might make a custom version later...

You can find the wad on the main Nugget Doom Topic, somewhere...

OK I might have figured out how to make this mostly universal for custom status bars, but it would need a mask layer. Stupid ask I know but would this maybe ever be a consideration?

 

And yes it'll probably be super hacky :)

Someone already asked about the possibility of cropping patches, which I guess is fairly similar. See here for my resolution.
