Description


Status HUD offers a collection of various elements to display on the HUD. The available elements are:

  • altitude: displays the player's current height (in meters) in relation to sea level;
  • armour: displays the equipped armour durability average (in %). If there is no armour equipped, this element is hidden;
  • bodyheat: displays the player's current body heat (in %). If it is at 100%, this element is hidden;
  • compass: displays the player's current facing direction (in degrees) in relation to the north;
  • date: displays the current date (e.g. 1 Jul) and an icon for the current season (sprout for spring, sun for summer, leaf for autumn, and snowflake for winter);
  • durability: displays the currently selected item's remaining durability. If there is no durability, this element is hidden;
  • latitude: displays the player's current latitude (in degrees);
  • light: displays the light level at the currently selected block. If no block is selected, this element is hidden;
  • players: displays the number of players currently online;
  • room: displays a house icon when the player is inside a room (house for large room, cabin for small room or cellar), and a sun icon above when inside a greenhouse. If the player is outside, this element is hidden;
  • sleep: displays a countdown until the next time the player is able to sleep. If the player can sleep, this element is hidden;
  • speed: displays the player's current speed (in m/s);
  • stability: displays the temporal stability (e.g. 76%) at the player's position if it is below 150%. If the temporal stability is 150%, this element is hidden;
  • tempstorm: displays a timer when a temporal storm is approaching or in progress. Otherwise, this element is hidden (★ New in v1.4.2!);
  • time: displays the current time (e.g. 19:43) and an icon for the position of the sun relative to the horizon;
  • time-local: displays the system's local time;
  • weather: displays the current temperature (e.g. 24°C) and an icon for the current condition (clear, fair skies, cloudy, rain, snow or hail);
  • weather-f: same as weather, but uses the Fahrenheit scale;
  • wet: displays how wet (e.g. 72%) the player is. If the player is dry, this element is hidden;
  • wind: displays the current wind speed (e.g. 20%) and direction at the player's position.

Active elements are bound to an identifier #. This number can be between -16 and 16 (inclusively), except 0. Only one element can be bound to an identifier at a time, and only one instance of an element can be active at a time.

Resources


Creating your own icon pack
  • In your Mods folder (.../VintagestoryData/Mods/), create a new folder with the name of your choice. In this example, it will be called myiconpack;
  • In this new myiconpack folder, create a file called modinfo.json, and open it in the text editor of your choice;
  • In this new modinfo.json file, enter the following:
    {
    	"type": "theme",
    	"name": "My Icon Pack",
    	"modid": "myiconpack",
    	"version": "1.0.0",
    	"authors": ["Your name here"],
    	"description": "This is my icon pack!",
    	"side": "Client",
    	"dependencies": { 
    		"statushud": "1.0.0"
    	}
    }
    
    Note: You can edit the name, modid, authors and description fields to your liking in accordance with the Vintage Story Wiki.
  • Save the changes and close the modinfo.json file;
  • Open this mod's statushud.zip file, copy the assets folder into your myiconpack folder, then close the statushud.zip file;
  • You should now have all texture files available in .../myiconpack/assets/statushud/textures/ ready to be modified. Edit one of them to your liking;
  • When you next launch Vintage Story, make sure that your mod is enabled in the Mod Manager. Your edited icon should now replace the default one. Congratulations, you have created an icon pack!
  • Notes:
    • While you can create icons of any size, they will utlimately be resized to squares matching the specified size in the configuration file.
    • If an icon is missing from your pack, then the default will be used instead.

 

Examples


These examples all use the identifier 1 for simplicity's sake, but you can use another identifier of your choice.

  • To remove all default elements and start from scratch, use:
    .shud clear

  • To restore the default layout, use:
    .shud default

  • To recreate the Room Indicator mod with no changes, use:
    .shud clear
    .shud set 1 room

  • To display your computer's time in the bottom-right corner of the screen, use:
    .shud set 1 time-local
    .shud pos 1 right 24 bottom 12
