A minimalist hud project for the game "Dual Universe"

Screen version available here

• You can use the autoconf to make a clean installation of the hud on a piloting seat (Cockpit not supported yet)
  • Download minimalistic_hud.conf and copy paste it in your \Dual Universe\Game\data\lua\autoconf\custom
  • Ingame, just right click on your piloting seat then go to advanced/run custom autoconfigure and select "minimalistic hud"
• You can also copy/paste the content of hud_on_programming_board.json and paste it on a programming board linked to your dynamic core. Using the board will show the hud on your screen, you will be able to move and use the repair tool

• Add a fuel tank monitor in the top left corner of the hud
• Add a warp monitor if a warp drive is installed
• Add a weapon stats and hit chances if a weapon is installed on the seat
• Add a ship layout based on the real position of your elements on your dynamic core
  • You can switch views by using option 2 key (ALT+2 by default)
  • Available views are TOP, FRONT and SIDE
  • Elements can be filtered (ALL,WEAPONS AND AVIONICS,AVIONICS ONLY,WEAPONS ONLY) by using option 1 key (ALT+1 by default)
• Add a damage report list on the left of the hud when something is damaged

----------------------------------

My todo list :

• Cockpit version of the hud
• Full screen mode with elements names on the ship layout

Disclaimer : This is an early build, you may encounter some hud positionning problems (Large core not tested yet). if so, you can adjust all parameters from the lua parameter menu on your piloting seat

• MINHUD_show_fuel : enable the fuel module
• MINHUD_fuel_left_position : fuel module position from the left side of the HUD
• MINHUD_fuel_top_position : fuel module position from the top side of the HUD
• MINHUD_fuel_refresh_rate : fuel module refresh rate every x seconds (useful if you have performance issues)
• MINHUD_fuel_show_remaining_time : if fuel is lasting more than x hours, do not show remaining time, 0 to always show remaining time. It shows 10 hours by default.

• MINHUD_show_labels : show/hide view labels
• MINHUD_defaultFilter : Sset the default filter when you start the script (1 for all,2 for avionics and weapons,3 for avionics only, 4 for weapons only)
• MINHUD_defaultView : set the default view when you start the script (1 for top,2 for side and 3 for front)
• MINHUD_show_txt_module : enable the ship damage text report
• MINHUD_dmg_priority : show damaged components (3) Below 100%, (2) Below 75%, (1) Below 50%

• MINHUD_size_ratio : change the size of the ship layout, use positive or negative numbers
• MINHUD_left_position : change the left position of the ship layout (Increase to move right)
• MINHUD_top_position : change the top position of the ship layout (Increase to move down)
• MINHUD_label_position : move the view label left or right (useful for centering)
• MINHUD_txt_module_left_pos : change the left position of the ship layout (Increase to move right)
• MINHUD_txt_module_top_pos : change the top position of the ship layout (Increase to move down)
• MINHUD_dmg_priority : Change the size of the ship layout, use positive or negative numbers to scale up or down (Please note that you will need to adjust the x,y position

MINHUD_dmg_refresh_rate : damage report refresh rate every x seconds, increase the value if you have performances issues.

You can use alt+1 (option1) to switch between filter modes

• ALL : Show all elements below 75% by default (You can adjust using the damagereport_txt_priority parameter)
• WP & AV : Show only weapons & avionics elements
• AVIONICS : Show only avionics components (Wings, adjustors, vertical boosters, engines, fuel tanks, etc..)
• WEAPONS : Show only weapons

You can use alt+2 (option2) to switch between views

• TOP : show the top view of your ship
• FRONT : show the front view of your ship
• SIDE : show the side view of your ship (The front of the ship is on the right)

The dynamic core unit and resurection nodes will always be visible no matter what filter you have selected since they are really important.

If you do not have elements of one view, like no weapons for example the view will be hidden until you switch to another view.

• MINHUD_show_warp : enable the warp module
• MINHUD_warp_left_position : warp module position from the left side of the HUD
• MINHUD_warp_top_position : warp module position from the top side of the HUD
• MINHUD_warp_refresh_rate : warp module refresh rate every x seconds (useful if you have performance issues)

• MINHUD_show_weapon : enable the weapon module
• MINHUD_weapon_refresh_rate : weapon module refresh rate every x seconds (useful if you have performance issues)

The weapon module will show you the XS weapons linked to your seat. It will give you the name of the weapon, the ammo type loaded in it and the ammo count.

• It will tell you to reload when needed
• When a target is set it will give you the name, the size (XS,S,M,L) and the distance between you and the target
• A hit chance percentage will show up, a color will help you determine the hit chance (75%->100% : Green,50%->75% : Yellow, 35%->50% : Orange, <35% : Red)

Create a new fuel module :

fuel_module = FuelModule.new()

Get the html code of the module

fuel_html=fuel_module:renderHTML()

Create a new warp module :

warp_module = WarpModule.new()

Get the html code of the module

warp_html=warp_module:renderHTML()

Create a new weapon module :

weapon_module = WeaponModule.new()

Get the html code of the module

weapon_html=weapon_module:renderHTML()

Create a new damage report module :

damage_rep = DamageModule.new()

Get an array filled with all html hud parts :

damage_html=damage_rep:renderHTML()
top_view_html = damage_html[1] -- The top view of the ship layout
front_view_html = damage_html[2] -- The front view of the ship layout
side_view_html = damage_html[3] -- The side view of the ship layout
table_view_html =  damage_html[4] -- The text damage report

Get default css for all that :

damage_css = damage_rep:renderCSS()

Get the current seleted view (1,2 or 3 for top, front, side)

  damage_rep:getActiveView()

Change the view

damage_rep:nextView()

Change the filter

damage_rep:nextFilter()
