[not a bug] Automap bug

Doomguy0505 · Post by **Doomguy0505** » Sun Nov 12, 2006 12:48

When you use the automap while using the alternate hud, the killcount, secrets info and other stuff are not visible.

The upper-left corner should have info in it, but it only shows when you have the alternate hud off or you have a different screen size.

You want it?
Well you won't get it.

And what is that supposed to mean?

Man, you said "The upper-left corner should have"...
The "should" is a bit harsh, don't you think? At least, everybody think the same thing about it.

Don't tell to the man that you WANT something, but that you would be pleased if it was possible to implement this new feature...

And the word "alternate" is clear enough, no?!?
You are not pleased with the alternate hud? Ok, so: don't use it !!!
The other hud is good enough.

For my part, I use myself the alternate hud, but I don't worry about what is supposed to be missing under the automap, when I can have it on the normal screen.

So that's what the K: and S: are

Jive · Post by **Jive** » Wed Nov 15, 2006 10:43

"K" is for "Killed"
"S" is for "Secrets"

Both of these infos can be enabled or disabled in config.cfg, autoexec.cfg, and also under the control panel while playing.

And not to forget: 'I' for items!

Personally, I miss the kills, secrets and items not being on the automap as well as the main screen with althud. Sometimes I do like to look at the automap in a quiet moment and think about what to do next and I like all my facts and figures on hand

. However, I understand Graf's reasoning behind it not being there and the althud is superb.

What enjay said. It kinda helps me though since my wad is a huge mansion and monsters randomly spawn outside the place and work their way in every 10 minutes or so. With the killcount hidden you can't tell when they're around, which is fun.
