HOM effect with hud

[ForrestMarkX]

I keep getting this weird HOM effect with the PSX Doom TC hud, no matter what I try it doesn't seem to load the texture unless I set it to the default doom's y coordinates it appears crushed up and small.

Original post of Doomworld Forums:

I got permission from the creator to port this mod over to Zandronum and I have seem to run into a problem with the hud, everything else works fine but the hud doesn't seem to load instead I get nothing but a hall of mirrors effect with it. It only seems to work when I set the y coordinates to the default hud's but this makes it look very small and squished up. I'm thinking it's cause Zandronum doesn't use the version of ZDoom that allows you to use "Resolution" in the SBARINFO file

Here is a pic of the problem:


Here's the SBARINFO file:

Zandronum does indeed not support setting a scaling resolution in sbarinfo - that function was only added to later versions of ZDoom than the one Zandro is based on. It's either scale to 320x or don't.

The HoM is caused by the "Height 32;" value - you should set this value to the height of pixels from the bottom of the screen that is fully covered by the hud. (in this case, apparently 0)

Hmm someone suggested I use texture to scale the hud, but so far that method hasn't worked. It will always either spawn that HOM effect or with what you said won't appear at all

[ForrestMarkX]

Nvm apparently the max characters allowed in a texture name is 8 and I was going over that limit
