Project Brutality Basic HUD
This HUD is entirely based on "Brutal Doom Basic HUD" by Sergeant_Mark_IV
See: Moddb.com for more information
Content:
This is a modification of the 16:9 Version of "Brutal Doom Basic HUD".
Purpose:
This will make "Brutal Doom Basic HUD" work again and look good in "Project Brutality" v2.03 AND v3.0-Test as of 2018-10-24 with the latest update.
It fixes the arrangement of HUD text and images so it works with Project Brutality 2.03's "bigfont" and the new font in v3.0-Test.
Furthermore i fixed the grenades counter and added landmines support.
Also added an icon for the currently used weapon (weapon sprite).
Changelog / compared to "Brutal Doom Basic HUD" 16:9 version:
2018-10-24:
- added an updated (beta)version that supports "Project Brutality v3.0 Test 1-7-18".
--> fixed various icon/symbol/sprite layouts to fit the changes of PB v3.0-Test.
- tested with GZDoom v3.6.0 x64 and "Project Brutality v3.0 Test 1-7-18".
- use the HUD/Scaling Options you see in the image below. in other words, use 16:9 resolution and use default scalings, except "status bar", this needs to be set to "Scale to fullscreen". More Details at the bottom "How to run:" section!

How to run:
1. Choose the v2.03 or the v3.0-Test version of this Mod.
then load this WAD directly after "Project Brutality 2.03.pk3" / "Project Brutality 3.0 Test 1-7-18.pk3".
For those who don't know what this means: The order in which the WADs are loaded matters. First WAD in the command line gets overwritten by the second WAD in the command line. So start the game with a command line like this:
gzdoom.exe -iwad doom.wad -file "Project Brutality 3.0 Test 1-7-18.pk3" -file "smivhud 16-9 PB 3.0-Test fix.wad"
or just download a Doom Launcher like ZDL (google helps) where you can add WADs/PK3s and set the order before launching the game.
2. use "screen size" 11 (Display options). That's one step backwards from fullscreen.
3. use "stretch status bar" (HUD options) or "scale to fullscreen" (HUD/Scaling options). Depending on the GZDoom/Zandronum version.
4. make sure the "alternative hud" option is disabled and set to OFF or you won't see this HUD.
Notes:
- This is for 16:9 aspect ratio ONLY (resolutions like 1080p/1920x1080). Don't use it with 4:3 resolutions.
- This HUD is meant to be used with Project Brutality 2.03+/3.0-Test ONLY. It might work with other mods too, but the arrangement is optimized for Project Brutality.
- No, I will not make these changes for 4:3 or any other resolutions, -sorry-.

This is currently my favorite *multiplayer* HUD.
I love the Ultimate DoomVisor-HUD too, but it isn't working correctly in multiplayer games because you can't share the cvars hud settings correctly yet.
And that's where Sergeant_Mark_IV's Basic HUD comes into play again. Beautiful, informative, transparent, easily readable and with a mugshot. This time fixed for Project Brutality 2.03's bigger font (normal version cuts the fonts at the bottom.)
can you add the weapon pick up sprites on the side back?
yes I can.
hold on for a moment, I'm almost done finishing it. I'll upload it as soon as I'm done finetuning new positions (subject to change).
I've uploaded a new version with the weapon icon in place. It might take a while until the new version gets authorized, so check back when it is available!
FANTASTIC!!
Love this hud, glad pb has its own now.
please make BTSX HUD PB compatable :o
sorry, won't happen. ;)
I took a quick look at it, though.. isn't the WOS HUD almost the same as the one you mentioned?
daww :( oh well, and the WOS one is more "original" Doom based, where the BTSX one is as super simplistic with a smooth layout too but looks futuristic still IMO :)
What's the map in the screenshot from?
it's from John Romeros latest E1M8 rebuilt.
Dude make a 4:3 version of this, higher resolutions just lags PB for me.
Given how UDV really looks cool and all but causes massive framerate drops due to it's resource demanding nature, this became my fav hud for now.
What is the weapon you're using in the screen shot ?
it's the "heavy grenade launcher" (slot 5). A similar one was used by arnold schwarzenegger in Terminator 2.
Where can it be downloaded ?
it's part of the Project Brutality mod. This HUD is for exactly this mod only.
PB must have had an update then. Because ive always had the default low res looking grenade launcher.
that could be. I don't know when this weapon found it's place in PB cause i joined the party a few days ago and it was already version 2.03
Project Brutal - Trailer: Youtube.com
Moddb.com can there be a mutator for this or something?
1. load this wad directly after Project Brutality 2.03.pk3
in zandronum/gzdoom:
and how do i do that
I added more info about that in the "How to run" section.
If anybody is still playing PB using my HUD-mod: I made an update for Project Brutality v3.0-Test. So the layout should fit the new font again. :)
What maps are displayed in your screenshots?
it's from John Romeros E1M8 rebuild from 2016. the others are E1M1 with Project Brutality 3.0 mod and I have various high-res texture mods applied.
I'd be curious which high def mods you used...Also any idea where I can grab the latest copy of BDv21?
I combined 2 different texture packs:
Final Alternative Texture Packs:
Moddb.com
and ZDOOM DHTP:
Github.com
you can grab the latest version of brutal doom here:
Moddb.com (updated just yesterday)
many many thanks!

I downloaded it but I see it too small in GZDoom. Changed scaling setting in HUD optiond didn't do anything. What could I do?
Beautiful
