Shifting the HUD

Awesome work Adoxa
Works like a dream on my side, with your JFLP patch a perfect Widescreen support in Freelancer now.
Thx a lot m8
cheers
CURSOR -
Nice work. Thanks
I just got an issue a few mins ago:
After switching back from desktop to freelancer my screen was bugged. Everything was moved a bit out of the window and I couldn’t see what I was typing in chat for example (as if the cameras.ini was miss configured).I don’t know if it was related to HudShift.dll but it was the first time that it it happend since I’m using your widescreen patch.

im not quite sure where to put the files. and what to do.
i can edit some files like this but these have got me lost.
i place Hudshift.dll in Exe. add the dll to Dacom.
place hudshift.ini in Interface.
but what of the other files on the folder. or do i move the whole folder to interface.
but than what do i do with hudshift.ini
faceplams. not a coder. can just edit sometimes.

@Crazy: Sorry, can’t duplicate that (using 1280x800 and the 16:10 Horizontal shift).
@viper: Oops, my bad. The crash I mentioned in hudshift.ini was actually due to a wrong offset. Please download again (still calling it v1.00, though). You’ll also want to double up the difference (so using 16:9 you’ll want to use ±1.0945).
@warlordfmike: The dll and ini are all you need; the other files are the source, for the coders/curious. All you need in hudshift.ini is:
[HUDShift] Horizontal = -0.033 ```if using the 5:4 camera (the JFLP default, but a little cramped), or[HUDShift]
Vertical = 0.026
GaugeBars = 0, 0 -
@adoxa:
I can reproduce it now:I’ve opened the NavMap (on a MP server), switched to desktop and then back.
I’m not sure if it is related to HudShift or to your widescreen patch in JFLP. I guess it will be caused by the latter but I will test it later.

Hi all I tested work now
but one i gave it with an 1440x900 resolution get this result:

Any ideas?
[Edit]
He opened and closed the hud one time then all looks fine, but after new login or F1 its bugged again until he open and closed the hud.
His System is Windows 7 64 Bit. -
I’ve uploaded version 2.00. It fixes viper’s problem and, for the dedicated, allows even more repositioning options - all the offsets are stored in the ini.

right well im still stuck as to were i put the code. and such.
do i place the code you posted in cameras or do i place it in hudshift.ini & were do i place hudshift.ini

im lost with this plug-in. i really dont get how to do it.
i have the files in the right place. but i dont know how to get the game to even run @ 1280x1024. and than i dont know if im to post anything in cameras.ini
also how do you remove the files. uninstall the plug-in. just delete. im wanting to start fresh.

NVM i seem to have got it now. yea works like a champ. good work.
lol i just have to pick around when i cant seem to get something to work. im a coder in the making. just not learning anything of coding.
works great. looks & feels 1280x1024

your read me file
HUD Shift is a plugin to reposition items in the HUD.
It can be installed either in EXE\dacom.ini
(add an entry to [Libraries]),
done at end of [libraries] list, ive added hudshift.dllor to EXE\freelancer.ini
(add an entry to [Initial SP DLLs]). if this is for single player which i dont bother with anymore so not changing thisEither use the full path to hudshift.dll
for the entry, or copy it to EXE (former) or DLLS\BIN (latter).
done bothThe latter will be loaded every time a game is loaded, allowing positions to be changed
on the fly; the former will only be loaded once.Copy hudshift.ini toDATA\INTERFACE and edit as required (remove the semicolon from the [;HUDShift]
section that does what you require, or add your own [HUDShift] section).
done, delete the lines with not my resolution, i.e. mine is 1680x1050in game hud/icons still off screen
i edited perfopt.ini to 1680x1050 aswell
what am i missing
update ive also copied the hudshift.dll to bin/dlls
same effect

You should see hudshift in the spew if it’s loaded. Deleting the lines won’t help, you need to delete the semicolon: [[color=FF0000]**;**Hudshift] -> [HudShift].
It also sounds like you’re not using JFLP for widescreen support (since you edited PerfOptions). That probably means your camera values are wrong. Try editing DATA\cameras.ini - change 54.432 to 63.361 and all the 70s to 80.077. Bear in mind some servers may call that cheating.

Primarily created as a response to the 1280x1024 problem and for widescreen users who would still like their status windows at the edge of the screen.I have a 16:10 monitor that runs at 1440x900. The bar going off the top of the screen. I launch and dock again and I still have problems with the bar going off the top of the screen. The hud shift is not working…Pls., help me.

That’s a problem with the camera. For 16:10, your cameras.ini should like this.
[WinCamera] fovx = 63.361 [CockpitCamera] fovx = 80.077 znear = 2 [ThirdPersonCamera] fovx = 80.077 [DeathCamera] fovx = 80.077 [TurretCamera] fovx = 80.077 [RearViewCamera] fovx = 80.077 ```Or use [JFLP](http://adoxa.110mb.com/freelancer/), which also does a bit more. -
