Hi all.
I created a hudtext.dat file to add Position and cargo information, just as we did in EM.
I put it in a "hud" folder that was placed where the profiles are stored. Works like a charm.
I published this on the Steam Forum, but a player that's playing through Steam
can't get it to work.
He said that he put the hud-folder in here:
C:\\Users\\(UserName)\\Documents\\sw3dg\\EvochronLegacy\\hud
Is that the correct place to put it? If not, where does it go?
It's a bit hard to guide steam users when I don't play through steam myself!:o

Steam installs the game to this folder:
\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\Evochron Legacy
So mods that depend on being in the install folder should go there.

The cargo readout is set for all ten cargo bays. I'm thinking of deleting the coordinates readout since it doesn't reflect in-sector coordinates. And create a couple different cargo readouts: one for ten bays and one for ... oh, I don't know ... fewer bays for a shorter list.
P.S. I forget ... what's the "1" or "0" below the "255" stand for?

Are you putting the file in a folder called /HUD like this: F:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Evochron Legacy\\hud
You'll replace the F: with whichever drive yours is on. Mine's on F: so if yours is on C: you'd change it to C:\\SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\common\\Evochron Legacy\\hud
And this is for Steam.
This is the contents of mine: (not sure why it's spacing it the way it is, but remove the extra spaces.

Code: Select all
200 1st value sets the red color (0-255, default 100)
255 2nd value sets the green color (0-255, default 255)
255 3rd value sets the blue color (0-255, default 255)
20 4th value sets the X pixel offset (usually leave at 20)
50 5th value sets the Y pixel offset (usually leave at 50)
-7.5 6th value sets the X position (ie -7.5 for widescreen displays)
0 7th value sets the Y position (usually leave at 0)

Thanks for the extra info, SeeJay.From post: 183224, Topic: tid=12260, author=SeeJay wrote: 400 [sets the X position of the cargo text (0-1023)]
340 [sets the Y position of the cargo text (0-1023)]

210 [sets the X position of the location text (0-1023)]
350 [sets the Y position of the location text (0-1023)]
So, the easiest way to position a readout might be to take a screen shot and then reduce the width to 1024 pixels?
