Current Addon Version : 1.5

Current Scripted Version : 1.5

Release Date :11 - 14 - 2013

DESCRIPTION :

======================

Status Hud simply displays the users health, fatigue, fps & their heading in the lower right corner of the screen.

======================

INSTALLATION :

======================

Addon Version: Put the @status_hud mod folder into your main arma directory (same directory the arma3.exe is in). Go into steam, right click on Arma3 & go to properties.

Scripted Version: place the contents of the mission folder into your own. * Regarding the scripted version: I've no control over how or where other (users) UI scripts define rscTitles. There may be conflicts if the 'standard' method wasn't employed. For more info on how to work around this possible issue see this post.

How exactly is the FPS measured in this one?

[iceman77 18]

Not sure exactly what you mean. I used diag_fps.

[disco.modder 116]

I'd love to see something like this, with an indicator for your soldiers' Stamina included. Apart from that, nice work, clean code, and i like the simply symbols.

[iceman77 18]

Thanks. I was debating on including a stamina meter / %. Maybe sometime in the near future, but as of now I think I've updated it enough for one day LOL.

[iceman77 18]

Had a feeling the signatures weren't right. Signing the addon actually took more time and was more confusing than making the addon itself... literally. The tutorial i used had alot of grey areas and contradictions as the author went. It was very confusing for me .:p

I'll look into it and see if I can't learn to sign an addon proper. I would ask someone else to do it for me, but that's kind of taboo from what I've read.

Updated:

v1.4b

- Fixed Signatures

note: forgive me, I'm not sure if I need to update the addon like this just because of new signatures. To prevent any further confusion on my part, I've re-uploaded the addon with the new signature / key.

Hey Iceman77,

I would like to use the scripted version you released for my mission, I somewhat understand how to do the scripting with the description.ext and Init.sqf file.

I'm having a hard time getting it working. As I already have an description.ext and Init.sqf file created in my mission folder. The description.ext file reads--

respawn = "Instant";
respawnDelay = 1;
respawnDialog = false;
disabledAI = 1;
#include "gvs\colors_include.hpp"
#include "gvs\control_include.hpp"
#include "gvs\stc_include.hpp"
#include "VAS\menu.hpp"
#include "VVS\menu.h"
class CfgFunctions
{
#include "UI\defines.hpp"
#include "VAS\cfgfunctions.hpp"
#include "VVS\Functions.h"
};

And my Init.sqf file reads--

execVM "gvs\gvs_init.sqf";
#include "wind\start.sqf";
[] call compile preprocessFile "UI\HUD.sqf";

I also pasted the UI and Images folders inside my mission folder. If I put the (#include "UI\defines.hpp") above the "class cfgfunctions the game crashes before the MP mission selection screen shows up. But if I leave it as is, I get an error that says- Script functions\ TAG_ICEHUD\ fn_controls.sqf not found.

Did I make a mistake in the Init or Description.ext file that can be causing this, My created mission is also in Altis. not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Thanks Much :)

[iceman77 18]

It definately shouldn't be in the cfgFunctions. When you CTD, what error does it give? Does it say member already defined or something like that? Post your error report here please. Combining many custom UIs can be a hassle. Although I did specifically give unique idcs. ie; only 520500 - 520503 as to not interfer with other UIs. Also, for giggles, make sure the vanilla version (status_hud) works. IE; simply preview the esample mission, to make sure it's not an old version or something silly on my end.

Shoot me your mission folder via pm please.

[ARMA3FlyGun1 1]

Hey Iceman77,

Thanks for the quick reply :)

The error I get is-

Arma3\MPMissions\Altis%20Mission%20WIP.Altis\UI\defines.hpp, line 145:.RscTitles. Member already defined

I get this error when the description.ext is--

respawn = "Instant";
respawnDelay = 1;
respawnDialog = false;
disabledAI = 1;
#include "gvs\colors_include.hpp"
#include "gvs\control_include.hpp"
#include "gvs\stc_include.hpp"
#include "VAS\menu.hpp"
#include "VVS\menu.h"
#include "UI\defines.hpp"
class CfgFunctions
{
#include "VAS\cfgfunctions.hpp"
#include "VVS\Functions.h"
};

Without the

#include "UI\defines.hpp"

, everything works fine. I'm guessing its a mod conflict from the error above like you said. But I don't know how to fix it. :(

I'm using the version that was recently released on the front page of Armaholic(link below)

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23495

I tried the mission and everything worked. The HUD/UI was in the bottom right of the screen with the fatigue/health/fps all working.

I will PM you my mission folder right after this post :)

(Edit--Not sure how I PM you my mission folder. Kind of my first time ever using the BI forums. sorry :(

Sounds like something else you are utilizing (gvs) is already using RscTitles. RscTitles can only be defined once. You should dig through the gvs files and see where RscTitles is being defined.

As a note to Iceman77 you should never have a script resource already defining RscTitles in its own separate file. A global note to anyone is RscTitles should only be defined in the description.ext and people append their stuff to it. This only applies to mission namespace usage. Addons are fine to define RscTitles in its own file.

Also as a note of performance I don't think it's wise to display frames and I presume you are doing it via diag_fps, the reason I say this is because diag_fps actually eats performance.

[iceman77 18]

@ Tonic-_-

Okay thanks for the tips. Noted about the diag_fps. I can make this an optional toggle.

@Arma3Fly

There's a conflict with the other UI scripts you are using atm. I'll need edit the script version to make it universal. You can expect that sometime soon.
