Go to the menu -> Display options and change 'Alternative HUD' to true

You can even customise how it looks to a certain extent using a lump called ALTHUDCF - have a search around in these forums for the details.

Because there are a certain number of WADs that make GZDoom's alternative HUD look really messy (like my upcoming The Stranger), I've actually bound a key to toggle it on and off.

Code: Select all

bind ' "toggle hud_althud"

What is it about your mod that makes the alt-hud look messy? Is it something that could be addressed with an ALTHUDCF lump in the WAD without annoying people?

It really can't be addressed. Each of my weapons has reloading functionality, which depends on seperate ammo types. So it's critical that the player be able to see how much ammo he has in the gun as well as his stock.

Though my brother has told me that it's not that bad, I do prefer to just play with the standard hud in such a case.
