21:9 Screen Re-position HUD Elements

HowieWowie · 06-18-17, 06:03 PM

I have a 21:9 screen with my resolution set to take full advantage of the wide screen. It wold be nice if it were possible to drag the various HUD elements to new positions. Just a thought/suggestion.

Make an override directory and mirror the file:
default/hud/default.txt

At the bottom of that file are these parameters:
[HUD LAYOUT]
//All positions in screen pixels
//From element's default anchored screen corner/position
BottomLeftPanelPos=0,0
BottomRightPanelPos=0,0
UpperRightStatusIcons=0,-3
UpperCentreBearingTapePos=0,-2
BottomCentreWaypointInfoPos=0,153
UpperRightTacMapZoomReadoutPos=0,-45
UpperRightPeriscopeZoomReadoutPos=0,-45
UpperRightRecognitionManual=0,0
UpperLeftPeriscopeESMPos=0,0
MainCameraFieldOfView=30

The values are in pixels and are offsets applied to all the user interface objects in combat. So modify them to put things wherever you like as we did here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/5412...80614862689373

I have asked similar question on steam forum.

It seems you can move HUDs only in your main window / monitor, you can not get them out to the second monitor.
I hope killerfish can fix this issue in future patch.
