NOW UPDATED FOR ULTRAWIDE!

Experience the authentic 1994 jank of Marathon 1's classic HUD as if it were made for your monitor!

This plugin takes the classic HUD and extends it to fill modern 16:9 and Ultrawide displays.

The same plugin covers both 16:9 and 21:9 monitors. It automatically adapts to your chosen resolution.

With the extra space, additional inventory pages are displayed. In Solo games, weapons and ammo are displayed. In Netgames, the scoreboard is always displayed.

Based on the Classic M1 HUD plugin posted here by Hopper.

Description

This is the default HUD for Marathon 2 & Marathon Infinity, extended to fill today's modern 16:9 screens when using "largest" HUD size mode. This plugin can be used with both Marathon 2 & Infinity.

A second inventory page is displayed to fill the new space. In Solo games, the extra page always shows Ammunition. In Netgames, the extra page always shows the Scoreboard.

Additionally, the 3D game view is no longer letterboxed.

Normal, Double, and Largest HUD sizes are all supported.

Lastly, this also fixes a couple small issues the original HUD had:

SMG/Fusion pistol item & ammo names are no longer cut off since now we have a bit more horizontal space

Yellow/Purple shield bars now don't have gray corners when overlapping the bar under it

Motion tracker graphic not as dithered as before, so it stands out less compared to the regular background

Note that due to custom graphics this is not compatible with custom scenarios that replace the HUD.

Based on the "M2 Default HUD" Lua by Hopper

NOW UPDATED TO SUPPORT MOST CUSTOM SCENARIOS!

This plugin allows you to experience Marathon 2's original 1995 classic status bar HUD, but modified to better support today's modern 16:9 widescreen displays. This plugin supports Marathon 2, Marathon Infinity, and many scenarios.

This widescreen HUD has 2 flavors, a 'lite' version and an 'enhanced' version:

CLASSIC (UNRESTRICTED VIEW): The original HUD, uses original graphics, but removes the letterboxing on the 3D game view, allowing any widescreen aspect ratio, should be compatible with all scenarios

CLASSIC (WIDESCREEN ENHANCED): Extends the status bar graphics to fill a 16:9 screen. To utilize the extra space, a second inventory page is displayed. In Netgames, this second page shows the scoreboard.

Due to the necessity of custom graphics, "Widescreen Enhanced" HUD is only guaranteed to work with the following scenarios:

Marathon 2 and Infinity
Any scenarios which use the default M2/MI HUD graphics
Apotheosis, Apotheosis X, EVIL, Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge, Marathon Squadron, Phoenix, Portal of Sigma, RED, Return To Marathon, Rubicon, Rubicon X

See included Readme for installation instructions.

All Lua work is based on "M2 Default HUD" posted here by Hopper, with additions by me to support the enhanced widescreen features.
