I've been trying to get jDUI loading in GZDoom (v1.1.2 r101) but it is only working partially. I am putting most of the UI graphics into the "hires" dir, except for menu screens (like TITLEPIC or INTERPIC) which won't get stretched if I don't put them into the "graphics" folder instead.
What's working:
- skull menu selector
- "NIGHTMARE!" difficulty selection pic
- ammo counter font (status bar right)
- status bar
- replacements for skull keys and keycards for HUD
- M_DOOM menu title
- Doomguy face
- Ep1-3 intermission maps ("You are here") without the patches
What's not working:
- "arms" replacement patch for status bar (overlaps "frags" section); this is shown too far on the left
- any health, ammo or armor counter font (red); too much left also
- patches for Ep1-3 intermission maps (buildings, blood splat, "You are here" sign)
The status bar is basically only usable if you use the ammo counter font only, nothing else. As soon as you put the highres status bar into the "hires" folder, things will get messed up.
Any idea how to fix this? What's really strange is that the UIs for Heretic and Hexen work absolutely fine, practically no issues there. Is the Doom HUD so different compared to those?

You'll need to use a HIRESTEX lump to define each new graphic as a replacement for an existing one. For example:
That will replace the original M_NTMARE lump with the high-res HINMARE graphic, scaling HINMARE down to the exact dimensions of M_NTMARE.
Code: Select all
remap HINMARE M_NTMARE

As I said, it's working partially. If you only use the STGNUM1-9, STKEYS1-5 and STYSNUM1-9 without the highres statusbar itself, those will be aligned just fine ingame. As soon as you add the bar, the problems start because the "ARMS" replacement patch and the counters get messed up, and it will only get worse if you try to replace them with highres stuff as well.
Doom menu fonts would probably work, too but they seem to be handled differently in GZDoom than in Doomsday. You would need a highres versions of each menu entry (like for M_NTMARE) which don't exist anywhere.
The only thing that isn't working in the Heretic/Hexen games is the right part of the Heretic HUD head (RTFCTOP) which is floating above the statusbar. Everything else is looking top-notch with highres stuff.
