Shifting the HUD

I just tried this:
; Swap the contact and weapon lists.
[HUDShift]
PlayerStatus = -0.7545, 0
TargetStatus = 0.7545, 0

But then Fl crash on login any ideas ?^^

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.

@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.

I can confirm it with just jflp.dll loaded.

Edit: I’ve tested the other windows too but alt-tabbing works fine while they are open.
Just the NavMap bugs it.

(Would be better placed in the JFLP thread but. yeah :D)

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

[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.

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.dll

or 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 this

Either use the full path to hudshift.dll
for the entry, or copy it to EXE (former) or DLLS\BIN (latter).
done both

The 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 1680x1050

in 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

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.

Not working, and the jflp is not working with the discovery 4.85 mod

because discovery has its own widescreen support. add to your FL shortcut -dx and youre fine once a space scene is rendered

Wow, this is going to be awesome when I get back to modding!

Nice work!
