Wuzzy, don't get frustrated. It runs pretty well.

I initially reported that statbar_MODERN broke, not classic. (this was the one with the background templates).
However, I had to switch to the hudbar (the version in the last posted screenshot) since statbar_modern was broke. But the feedback from players was good. So i just stuck with hudbar/progress bar and will just try to remove the numbers from it when I can. (I think the numbers are not very fun, and the visual indicator is more interesting when its just an approximation or generalization).

Hi Wuzzy,

Could you help me add a settingstype to show/hide the bar numbers on progressbars (current value / max value) on each hudbar? Actually, just hide all text when this these values are hidden, including the label, just icons work well enough.

My train of thinking is this:
The bars are a representation of the values already and are not as definitive. Thus, they leave some level of uncertainty, which adds a bit of fun and are more immersive and less like a calculator.

I've tried this myself already once but am struggling and am out of time this evening.

In other words,
How can I just hide all the label text and values on the "progress_bar"

It's possible, but I'm too lazy to do it myself atm. I will probably accept patches, however.

Hi, I'm running Minetest 5.3.0, Hudbars 2.3.3 along with various other mods, most importantly HBSprint and HungerNG. As of Minetest 5.3.0, my hud bars have an extra unfilled space at the end of the bar, even though I am at full health and satiation:

First, I would like to report that I "managed" to reproduce the problem.

What's your operating system?

BTW, I have heard many reports of people for which the HUD Bars are broken in some way. I have long given up in finding the source of the problem. I'm afraid I cannot help you. :-(

The interesting thing that till I used Manjaro with KDE I didn't have this kind of problem. Now I'm on Pop! OS with KDE and it appeared. The machine is the same. And the unfilled space's amount is affected by the game's hud scaling setting.

... I've just now figured out what was causing it! ... I use Windows scaling on this monitor to 125%. I turned Windows scaling to 100% and launched the game and the hud bars appear as normal and expected. ...

I will check if I find any scaling related in the os settings.

Also appeared on my gf's Macbook Air.

I'm using HUD bars in conjunction with hbsprint and Hunger NG. I'm not sure where the behavior I'll describe is originating so I'm posting here first. I'm running a Minetest 5.3.0 (server and client) VM Ubuntu survival mode server and have myself set as admin with all privs. When I run, I see no stamina bar appear, and running has no effect on my satiation. There is also no limit to being able to run. As a result, I'm able to run endlessly with no penalty. Other non-admin players say that stamina appears when running and functions as expected. When I load a single player world, stamina appears and functions as expected in my client. Would this be due to some priv or admin status on server? Would this be some issue in HUD bars, or hbsprint / Hunger NG? Thanks for any suggestions.

If you have the fast priv, stamina will not be applied to you, this is intended as far as I can tell

That was it! Thanks, FrostRanger.

Hey there. I know the mod is for 5.3.0, still decided to post this here. I use 5.4.1 and have the following:

2021-05-20 00:39:13: WARNING[Server]: Deprecated usage of statbar without size! (at .minetest/mods/mod-hudbars/init.lua:232)

Posted: **Thu Jul 08, 2021 04:32**

I found an issue in hudbars (version 2.1.0 but I don't see any changes which could have fixed it).

Clients get flooded with HUD update packets from the (un)hide_hudbar calls at https://repo.or.cz/minetest_hudbars.git ... t.lua#l505. The issue seems to go away if I add checks to ensure the HUD hasn't already been hidden/shown to (un)hide_hudbar (such as if hudtable.hudstate[name].hidden then return true end in hide_hudbar).

Posted: **Thu Jul 08, 2021 08:39**

How would it be to make hudbars a client side mod? Or split it into 2 parts: 1 server side, 1 client side. That should solve the update packet problem also.

Version 2.3.3 is released!
This fixes a bug causing massive spam of hud_change events, reported by luk3yx. Thanks!

@sangeet: I'm sorry, but this is actually intentional. I keep this code there due to past previous issues with displacement of the HUD bar on other OSes when size is specified explicitly. I don't know if this problem is fixed in Minetest yet. If you can verify a fix, that would be great, I would gladly remove this ugly code. But until I know for sure, I keep this code.

BTW: This is what I wrote in the code:

Code: Select all

                 if hb.settings.bar_type == "progress_bar" then
                         bar_image = textures.bar
                         -- NOTE: Intentionally set to nil. For some reason, on some systems,
                         -- the progress bar is displaced when the bar_size is set explicitly here.
                         -- On the other hand, setting this to nil is deprecated in MT 5.0.0 due to
                         -- a debug log warning, but nothing is explained in lua_api.txt.
                         -- This section is a potential bug magnet, please watch with care!
                         -- The size of the bar image is expected to be exactly 2×16 pixels.
                         bar_size = nil

Hi can you add

Code: Select all

if hudtable == nil then return false end

in init.lua L.303 in function change_hudbar ?
That line is also in hide and unhide_hudbar. This would make it possible
to unregister a hudbar. Because else the line

Code: Select all

 if not hudtable.hudstate[name]

will raise an index error.

In my case i have to disable breathbar, because i write a mod which has to completely remove it. But by default the breathbar is shown again also if i hide it, because in on_step it is un-hidden again.

Only possble workaround at moment is to force default breathbar and healthbar and then register a custom health and breathbar

Posted: **Thu Apr 14, 2022 20:09**

Can anyone confirm this?

Posted: **Sat Jul 02, 2022 14:44**

Does anyone else also have the problem that the Hudbars are never full? (I have the problem only on Windows. Everything works under Linux.)

Found a similar problem (The current version is 2.3.3.):

I just add this condition on first line in function hb.change_hudbar

Version 2.3.4 released!
This version fixes the problem reported by SurviveX before.

Note: I currently only accept bug reports for this mod, not feature requests. Please post all bugs here (or in this thread):

https://codeberg.org/Wuzzy/minetest_hudbars/issues

If there is any bug I've overlooked/forgotten/ignored, please just post it again.

Sadly, I still have not figured out how to fix the scaling bugs on some OSes. I am aware of minetest.get_player_window_information(), a new function in the upcoming 5.7.0 release but I am not sure if it will actually help me. An important MT bug that seems to block progress for HUD Bars is this: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6296

I might be wrong tho and I might still try to look into a real bufix.

Posted: **Mon Jul 24, 2023 11:32**

Version 2.3.5 released!

This fixes a possible crash and a buggy translation check found. Thanks to mckaygerhard and flux for their contributions!

This mod is starting to annoy me. My longterm goal with this mod is to discontinue it. Ideally, progress bars should become a native Minetest HUD element instead, making this mod mostly obsolete. The way this mod implemented the "progress bars" was always kind of hacky to begin with.

I am not discontinuing this mod immediately; I am not going to ignore crash bugs, for instance.

Posted: **Tue Jul 25, 2023 10:33**

yeah ... minetest needs a better way for this kind of stuff

until then: thank you very much ... i love this mod ;)

For the hypothetical, let's call this HUD element type a "meter".

I'm thinking that in the ideal scenario, you should be able to make this mod version agnostic. Although there is presently no detection for client versions. I would have liked client detection for rotating entity selection boxes for instance, but alas. Hopefully in future we have it for rotating entity selection boxes and for features like "HUD type meter" and so on. That information would be per-player.

Now in a newer version of hudbars, one written on versions of Minetest that add that new HUD element type, hudbars mod can use the native HUD element type. Newer versions of mods that depend on hudbars can then eventually transition away from using hudbars. But to continue to allow mods to work on older clients, hudbars would use client detection and in case support for "meter" HUD elements isn't present, use the old API.

Of course, you're under no obligation to help people transition or support older clients this way. It would be nice though as I think hudbars is fairly widely used as library. I thought it was a neat concept to repurpose the mod for legacy support basically.
