textless HUD - a quake HUD without any text

Here is a textless HUD I made in clientside quakeC. "I came here to bleed, not to read."

It should work with any Quake content that is compatible with Quakespasm-Spiked and does not change the default weapons / items.

Although the HUD itself is less than a megabyte, I have also included a version of Quakespasm-Spiked that does not hardcode game controller dpad mappings. Instead it hardcodes ammo-based weapon toggles:

quake_enthusiast updated textless HUD with a new update entry:

selectively enabling centerprint

for the sake of playability this update re-enables centerprinted text. ("this door requires the gold key.") messages that would be displayed in the top left of the screen remain hidden.

previously all server messages were hidden, including centerprint.

for now centerprinted text remains necessary to inform the player of keyed door requirements. it is also used to directly communicate with the player in many cases.

quake_enthusiast updated textless HUD with a new update entry:

lightning gun ammo fix

Until now the lightning gun ammo meter has treated the max ammo as 200 (which is what Impulse 9 gives).

In-game the max ammo attainable for the lightning gun is 100.

This update draws the meter so that 100 ammo results in a full gauge instead of a half-full (or half-empty).

r_lightmap 1 enabled to show the HUD as usual.
