Refine Presets

[UndeadZeratul]

Currently there are two kinds of Presets capable of being produced: static HUDs and Helmet-specific HUDs. These two kinds of presets really should be separated or at least have two sets of presets to control which CVARs get adjusted when used.

Currently, here's how I'm thinking the existing presets could be split up:

• Static HUDs
  • Toast's Alpha HUD
  • Arcterezion's HUD
  • Swampyrad's RE1 HUD
• Helmet HUDs
  • UDV HUD
  • UDV Alt HUD

NOTE: The default values of the CVARs should be Vanilla HDest positioning if they currently are not. This would imply that a "Vanilla" Preset is accomplished simply by resetting all CVARs to their default value, except if the player wants a Hideous Helmet experience, in which the elements would need to all require the helmet. Since that is normally left up to the player's discretion even in HHelmet itself, I'm currently planning on simply resetting the values.

Given this separation, I'm thinking of two methods:

• The first would be making the static HUDs alter the HUD Elements to not require the helmet, reset the helmet-specific CVARs, and alter just the non-helmet CVARs; while having the helmet HUDs alter the HUD Elements to require the helmet, reset the non-helmet CVARs, and alter the helmet-specific CVARs.
• The second would be having a copy of all available HUDs for both non-helmet and helmet-specific CVARs. The former of the two sets of presets would mark each element to not require the helmet, reset the helmet-specific CVARs, and alter the non-helmet CVARs. The latter of the two sets of presets would mark each element to require the helmet, reset the non-helmet CVARs, and alter the helmet-specific CVARs.

The first solution would give each HUD more "character" in that the mod provides stylized Classic Doom HUDs, as well as more diegetic Helmet HUDs. The second would allow players to have more explicit control over whether they want the Alpha HUD but only for their helmet, or if they always want the UDV layout as they don't run with HHelmet.

I have gone with the following implementation:

• As a general rule of thumb, the default values will adhere as close to Vanilla HDest as possible.
• Presets are now split into three main areas: Full Presets, Non-Helmet Presets, and Helmet Presets.
  • Full Presets will update both normal and helmet settings, and are used for both static HUDs as well as Helmet HUDs.
  • Non-Helmet Presets will only update the normal settings, regardless of how they're used in the Full Preset.
  • Helmet Presets will only update the helmet-specific settings, regardless of how they're used in the Full Preset.
• My own personal Preset has been added as a slightly tweaked UDV Preset (at least for now).
• CVAR, MENUDEF, and KEYCONF lumps have been formatted as best as I can care to do so for now, at least to try and help my future self when sifting through these now massive files.
• The ability to reset specifically non-helmet or helmet-specific settings has been added.

Whoops, looks like in the middle of fixing all the presets & CVARs, I seem to have wired up the new Berserk/Blues/Stim Counters? I'm guessing this means this should close #20 as well...
