You will need to put the following images into the Pictures folder:






And you will need to put these in your Icons folder:

Its good, is there an option to hide the window if you want?, because it gets in the way sometimes

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

what is a HUD?
... I mean I kinda know what it is but... aren't zelda typ games hard to make?

[Bloods the Hedgehog]

A HUD ( Heads up Display ) is something that shows status, that can be Health, Magic, Mana, Gold, or Experience, or something.

Wow, from what I've seen, it looks impressive. Thanks for sharing

[kypep]

hey? can we get a screeny? i like to see it so i know what to look for?

[Irock]

How would I go about hideing it?

[Blizzard]

Code Select Expand

class Scene_Map

  alias upd_disable_hud_later update
  def update
    @HUD.visible = $game_switches[X]
    upd_disable_hud_later
  end

end

Change X to a switch ID. Turn the switch on to make it visible, turn it off to make it invisible.

[pliio8]

Okay...can I get some help? It won't work, any kind of demo maybe?

[Wolfwood]

I'm sorry dude but this one is BAD. I needed to fix images' names and check em from the code. Same went with the icons. The filenames are wrong. Finally I tested it without errors. It looked ok, but when I started battle, got error again. Fix the script, then its ok!

[Blizzard]

Imageshack renames pictures, you need to remove the last 3 characters from each filename. Maybe it's that.

[Arrow]

Yeah, when I first found this a gamebaker I had to do that as well.

[Wolfwood]

no, it wasnt just last characters.. I needed to replace the HOLE NAMES, and dunno why got error when I entered battle

[digital_ninja2k]

I don't know if this has been figure out yet but the last three letters of the title have to be deleted AND you have to change the graphics and Icon names to the following:

hud graphic.png
hud graphic1.png
hud graphic2.png
hud graphic3.png

exp symbol.png
hero.png
hp symbol.png
sp symbol.png

[Jalkson]

Nice work, It worked fine for me.

[Neverplayd]

ok im having a problem with this script.
The HUD works fine, but it seems to have screwed up my menu.

The error says:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
'Window_Base' ? 30 RGSSError ??

disposed window
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I copied the section around line 30

---------------------------------
  def dispose
    if self.contents != nil
      self.contents.dispose
    end
    super
  end
----------------------------------

The menu works fine without the HUD, but I get the error whenever I put the HUD script in.
I'm not using a CMS or anything, but I am using the unlimited lvl script by Cybersam, if that makes a difference.

Can someone help? tx

Where do you add this?
