LunaLUA: How to add item box to a custom HUD

[Sambo]

I have created a complete re-code of the item reserve box with LunaLUA:

Using it is simple; just download the files and place them in your level's folder. Or if you want it for your whole episode, rename lunadll.lua to lunaworld.lua and place them in the episode folder instead.
Be careful not to overwrite your existing lunadll files. If you have lunadll.lua already, just add this to the onLoop function:

Code: Select all

	if reserve ~= player:mem(0x158, FIELD_WORD) then
		reserve = player:mem(0x158, FIELD_WORD)
		if reserve == 0 then
			loadImage("NONE", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 184 then
			loadImage("../HUD/smb_shroom.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 182 then
			loadImage("../HUD/smb_flower.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 9 then
			loadImage("../HUD/smb3_shroom.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 14 then
			loadImage("../HUD/smb3_flower.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 34 then
			loadImage("../HUD/leaf.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 264 then
			loadImage("../HUD/smb3_iceflower.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 169 then
			loadImage("../HUD/tanooki_suit.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 170 then
			loadImage("../HUD/hammer_suit.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 248 then
			loadImage("../HUD/stopwatch.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 185 then
			loadImage("../HUD/smw_shroom.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 183 then
			loadImage("../HUD/smw_flower.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		elseif reserve == 277 then
			loadImage("../HUD/smw_iceflower.bmp", 5, 0xdc00ff)
		end
		placeSprite(1, 5, 384, 30)
	end

Don't forget to include 'end' at the end of your functions.
NOTE: The custom HUD shown is not included.

Good job,i also wanted to do this but i was to lazy : P
I gonna use this for SMW -DIDL- so thank you.

You can remove the "local reserve" part of the code because it doesn't do anything and isn't necessary.

So what does this do exactly?

[SilverDeoxys563]

If you can recreate the item box graphics, does this mean that you can basically recreate all the graphics used in the HUD without having to modify an EXE? Including the fonts?

[DarkShadeX]

You can draw a string/text using lunalua but it uses the original fonts.

You can draw a string/text using lunalua but it uses the original fonts.

Though you could make a function to display custom numerals (saved individually as .bmps) based on an integer...
