Best status bar

[Memfis]

Time to choose the best status bar ever! Previous thread: (2004)

 

I really like the one from Hellbound. It's blue and it even has lamps!

This is what I use. It's one of the older HUDs from HXRTC. I'm not too fond of his newer ones. 

 

Does this count as a status bar? Technically, it isn't a bar.

I like so many status bar that I can't just pick one as my favourite, apart from Hellbound, these are my favourites:

 

 Deus Vult II

 JPCP

 Back to Saturn X Ep1

 Requiem

 Valiant

 Ancient Aliens

 Plutonia 2

 PRCP

 Scythe 2

 Memento Mori 2

 Reverie

 FreeDoom

Unholy Realms

 Resurgence

 THT: Threnody

 Preacher

 Speed of Doom

 

Sorry, once I started I couldn't stop, they look so neat together :3

Eternal Doom's statbar is pretty badass.

 

[Nine Inch Heels]

Objectively best HUD:

Hud is from Dark Resolution 2008 but my doomguy replacement is the best

Unreleased thing by my favorite status bar maker, me :^)

I quite enjoy GZDoom’s minimal HUD, sleek and unintrusive.

Hmm, looking at galileo31dos01's collection I start to really appreciate status bars that replace the default little numbers (the ones used for ARMS and ammo).

this. just 2 numbers with no classic status bar taking away from the image, quake live style. i find this best for concentrating on the game. the alternate prboom status bar is the opposite to this, at least to me, as it has lots of small numbers i struggle to read during the action. 

 

from the classic status bars posted by galileo, i prefer those that are easiest to read, like btsx or threnody, for clear, big numbers with contrasting background. the funny thing is that i learned the japanese numbers pretty well when the club was playing jpcp, just because i insisted on playing with the japanese status bar. forgot them since, unfortunately.

The ones from Valiant and Ancient Aliens are really nice.

[kmxexii]

definitely Memento Mori II

[SaladBadger]

 

it can even animate in game for zdoom based ports

[40oz]

I like Hell Revealed 2 for the red skinny gothic numbers.

 

I also like the reflections under AMMO HEALTH ARMS and ARMOR in Eternal Doom.

My franken-edit of sorts. PSX STATBAR with these fitting big numbers.



E: Even has the unique xdeath face from PSX!

I was going to comment these two. Really nice and clean status bars.

Think I could get these resources? I might have a use for everything including the BIGFONT. Will credit obv.

@Nevander No problem, not mine anyway, just using it in my personal currently unreleased gameplay mod. Should also note it replaces the old fullscreen HUD with a D64 styled one with just the titles and numbers floating!

I shall spread the joy to all.

E: Herp, you probably wanted the DBIGFONT, so here's the fonts as well that I use.

This is the one I made for Maskim Xul. It's a bit minimalistic, but I like it.

 

 

[IncognitoMode]

This one.

Status bar? You mean it's not normal to count all the ammo you pick, shots you make and damage you take in your head?

Playing without any HUD whatsoever is an experiment endorsed by @40oz. I tried it once a couple of years ago but found it too difficult to cut ties with my reliance on the damned thing. Perhaps a second go is in order.

 

Ironmen look out.

That is a very nice status bar.

[Obsidian]

Thanks! :)

[Xyzzу]

@Obsidian You think that's minimalistic?

EDIT: Status bar is from Confinement 256

[Obsidian]

So simple. 8-0

[Grain of Salt]

Not minimal enough! Look at all that detail!

I am totally up for a no hud ironman run.
