I have a collection.. (various versions rather) of a hud that Xenaero made years ago.. (was it years ago??) However, due to the fact that I get limited time online atm.. (tough times....) I been kinda ansty on releasing them, that and a few bugs down the road. However, I might release them soon. This may be the only time I have net for awhile (yea.. an hour at the library sucks, however, I'm using a hotspot from my friends Phone)

If anything, hud_althud (Zdoom's HUD) is pretty decent. Anyhow.. I haven't seen anyone repost there HUD's, so I suggest taking a look Here <(yea, clickable link) Just note however, those in the ST/Gzdoom HUD folder.. They may or may not work in Zandronum.. For the ST ones, just load Skulltag_Data_126.pk3 (zipped because I like it like that) and perhaps.. Skulltag_Actors.pk3, that ships with Zandro 1.0.

Who knows when I might work up the courage to upload my Hud, which is still being worked on a lil.. I still have to do a bit of.. getting everything to look just right. Those damn coordinates.. Using either fullscreen, or fullscreen, fullscreenoffsets, or whateva else.. (yea I been pulling my hair out) just gets annoying, but all in good time, It looks pretty decent right now.

I thought there was something wrong with Xenaero's stuff that made it virtually unusable with later versions of ST, or now as it's apparently called, Zandronum. I could however be wrong. But ja, hud_althud is interesting... I'd love to learn how to SBARINFO so I can start building my own huds

Open the wad with Slade, look at the SBARINFO lump, and remove the references to Skulltag-only weapons (not many). There, done. It works.

It's what I did, anyway.

I had to do the same for SST Lite.


Why is this a crash-causing issue, anyways? Seems like the kind of thing that would merely warrant a startup message like missing textures would. "SBARINFO:Unknown type at line 86 ("Minigun")" or something like that.

Is it actually crashing or exciting gracefully with a proper error message?

Graceful exit.

Then everything seems to be working as intended. The error handling is inherited from ZDoom. If you'd like to know why this is not only a warning, please ask over there (after checking that it's still the same in the latest ZDoom revision). BTW: I wish people would stop confusing crashes and graceful exists. Those are two very different things.
