(Suggestion) Support for newer HUD's

[Big-the-Fat]

Would it be possible to add the widescreen HUD's found in Arcane Dimensions when run in QS and QSS? It would be really nice if they could be used as a default HUD for any map. Also, after playing KexQuake it'd be nice to have the option to use the N64 style HUD along with top-centred messages. My first exposure to Quake was on the N64 so it'd be a great nostalgia feature. :)

AD's HUDs are coded in client-side QuakeC, which QS doesn't support. I'll look into adding it, but it seems to be a pretty substantial change. I would also like to add some new generic HUD layouts as alternatives to the classic one, though, but they wouldn't be aware of any of the custom items a mod might have. I guess the N64 layout could be one of them, but I'll have to take a look at KexQuake to see what it's like since I only ever played Quake on PC (first time was on a 486 DX4 100 MHz... it didn't run that well!)

These videos perhaps can help you out.

On the original N64 they moved the HUD info to the bottom corners of the 4:3 screen with some transparency. Armor and health on the left, with ammo and keys on the right: https://youtu.be/AHYIwoc7PCU

KEX Quake keeps it similar, but since its for a 16:9 screen the HUD elements get pushed further apart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zmHd7hjGDc

I think its pretty good as it keeps the HUD away from the action in the center of the screen.

Pretty sure it ran better on your 486 than on my N64!

Thanks for taking a look at the HUD. I appreciate it. :)
