Canofbacon Posted July 5, 2014 Does anybody know where I could find a cooler looking STBAR than the default, grey one? I'm willing to rip one out of a WAD I suppose. Also a new Doomguy face would be nice too. Preferably for the GZDoom source port. Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted July 5, 2014 Making your own status bar can actually be pretty fun. What I do is just find a texture I like, and overlay the border from the classic bar. I hope that makes sense, if not, I can give a screenshot. You can make any texture in to a status bar this way. 0 Share this post Link to post

As for Doomguy face replacements, there's a decent one used in Beyond Reality that Vader made a while ago. 0 Share this post Link to post
Pencil of Doom Posted July 6, 2014 Freedoom, Enternal Doom, Hacx, Samsara and you could try to do Doom's face poses and see how it looks like. 0 Share this post Link to post

The HUD from Doom0 is an example, even if it's an unfinished megawad though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jaxxoon R Posted July 11, 2014 I've been toying with the idea of a gender/species-neutral status bar face. It's essentially a bunch of arrows that light up to indicate from where damage comes from, with the color of the light depending on health. I'd also replace the OOF, pain, noway, and death sounds with footsteps, bone cracking, scraping, and thudding sounds respectively. 0 Share this post Link to post
Obsidian Posted July 11, 2014 STRAIN did a good job of making a gender-neutral face: it's basically a virtual skull that changes colour depending on the amount of damage taken. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted July 11, 2014 Never liked the Strain one: too hard to tell how hurt you are, which makes dying easier. 0 Share this post Link to post
Touchdown Posted July 11, 2014 I don't use the classic status bar, it takes up too much space. GZDOOM alternative HUD is all I need. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phml Posted July 11, 2014 bone cracking Given the number of times you get hurt in the average Doom level... Yuck. Cool idea, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Pencil of Doom Posted July 11, 2014 Quake 1 and 2 have the bone cracking sounds when you recieve fall damage , so it wouldn't be a bad idea. 0 Share this post Link to post

I wanted a different STBAR and Doomguy face for it. Right now I currently have some random STBAR that I don't know the name of and the Doomguy face from Pirate Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
