S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Smuth's HUD Reworked and Extras 2.0

		HUD Reworked and Extras 2.0
			Smurth, 2012



This mod is a remake of the original "DynamicHUD" by Rulix.
It also contains a modified version of "DynamicHelmets" by
Mechanic, Shoker, and Antnigm.
Except the hit_effect() and shoot_effect() functions which
contains only minor modifications, everything has been
written from scratch.
The textures used for the helmets/gasmask are based on the
work of FlyingDebris.
Since some people had crashes when trying to merge this
mod with Atmosfear3, I've decided to release it as well.


IMPORTANT:
The mod has been developped and tested on 16/9 screen only,
and the 4/3 version of some files are just copies of the
16/9 ones.
Feel free to adapt their 16/9 counterpart for 4/3 screen and
contact me to see your name added to the credit list :)


Features:
- no more intrusive HUD; only ammunition type si shown
  (see "optional" folder for variants)
- breathing sounds: you will ear the actor breathing in
  different kind of situations; when he wear a gasmask,
  when he's running, when he's getting hit hard, and, of
  course, at low stamina levels. I've tried to make the
  breathing as natural as possible, including variation
  of its speed/volume.
- bleeding screen edge indicators.
- radiation sound indicators and little visual effects
  on high radiation levels.
- automaticaly hide weapon and/or remove gasmask on some
  item usage, plus other special effects (see below)
- basic medkit usage incapacitates the actor for about 10s.
  This is to show you how you can play with item using
  effects, but don't abuse of effects to avoid overlapping
  when using several item at the same time.
- Weapon's recoil effects.



Notes for modders/scripters:
The actor_effects_data.script file contains three tables:
- "options" which let you tweak the helmet/breath part.
- "wpn_fx" containing data used by the recoil effects.
- "item_fx" containing sequences of action "played" on
  item usage.

The "wpn_fx" table is still a work in progress but you
should be aware that the total recoil amount depends on:
- the ratio (installed cam_dispersion upgrades) / (weapon
  cam_dispersion)
  Note: the upgrade must have the "prop_recoil" property
  and define the "cam_dispersion" value.
- the "impair" ammo coef.
- the player aiming or not. See "k_aim" at the begining of
  the wpn_fx table.


IF YOU WANT TO DISABLE THE SHOOT EFFECT, JUST COMMENT OUT
THE CALL TO "ammo_check()" IN THE "update()" FUNCTION
(LINE 34) OF "scripts\actor_effects.script".


I highly recommend to use actor_effects.use_weapon(0) and
actor_effects.use_weapon(1) instead of db.actor:hide_weapon()
and db.actor:restore_weapon(), respectively.
