Translucent Hud Messages

[Sir_Alien]

I.e. Something like HUDMSG_TRANSLUCENT, or have an extra argument for HUDMSG_FADEINOUT that will only fade the message in/out to a certain percent.

Please.

This is certainly a feature I would have found useful a number of times already.

The idea is good. However, I have no desire to create and maintain my own ACC so unless it is implemented in ZDoom it's not going to happen.

I assume this would apply here also

Excuse the bump, I'm trying to avoid a duplicate thread.

Sure it is possible. It's just a minor thing.

Graf, if your motives for dismissing this idea were similar to Justin's estimation, would your attitude be any different these days? At the risk of sounding like a complete fool, it seems that the SVN repository would have put an end to any of the above sentiment?

Also, when I first suggested this at ZDoom, your time was primarily occupied with implementing model support, and this feature suggestion necessarily took a back seat. Perhaps now might be a better time to bring it up..?

Finally, I understand that this is already possible using translucent pngs, but unfortunately this method is extremely cumbersome and things like fonts become a chore to replace, when a simple function / flag would serve much better.

And hey, Enjay likes it!

I'd like this feature too. The transparent PNG solution just isn't flexible enough (not to mention a pain to get the transparency value correct because of lack of proper tools). On top of that, you can't have dynamic transparency, which is another nice thing to have.

[Sir_Alien]

Would it be possible to get a answer one way or the other?

Sorry, but it's a little confusing to be told this is a simple feature to implement and that would benefit a number of editors and then have it closed / dismissed without a reason...
