Deprecated usage of statbar without size!

Deprecated usage of statbar without size!

I get this warning in console when I try to add a statbar without specifying the size argument.

Why is it deprecated? It doesn't make sense. Docs say this:

* `size`: If used, will force full-image size to this value (override texture
pack image size)

Which implies that it's OK to be nil.

So I'm getting mixed messages here … Is it now OK to use nil for size or not?

Hi, sorry but I don't have the slightest idea, but I'm looking for how to make a statbar???

Use HUD Bars by Wuzzy.. the OP (original poster) of this thread. DuckDuckGo gives me a link to HUD Bars when I search "minetest statbar".

This thread dates back to 2019. It's typically not polite to revive old dead threads unless you have an answer or a very important update.

@Wuzzy, well now that the thread has been necro'd anyway, did you figure out the answer in the last 4 years? According to what I could find on Codeberg, apparently not, or, it is somehow related to UI scaling (how does that make sense?)

No, there is no solution to the issue yet. And frankly, now I think it actually makes more sense to add progress bar support to the engine instead. The way HUD Bars implemented the progress bars was always based on a hack (it still is).

Thank you very much for your response, I will take inspiration from Better HUD for my mod.
