Oolite Bulletins

Put this into the dials section of the .plist file of your HUD:

		{	data_source = "combatSLBar"; selector = "drawCustomBar:"; draw_surround = yes;
			alert_conditions= 14; //do not show in the dock
			alpha = 1.0; height = 2; width = 35; x = -125; y = 23; y_origin = -1; },

The hull label can be created in the legends section:

		{	text = "Hull"; align = 1; x = -93; y = 18; y_origin = -1; height=7; width=7;
				alert_conditions= 14; //do not show in the dock
				alpha=0.5;},

If you have CombatMFD OXP then you are done (works without the MFD equipment also), else you must put this into a timer in a worldScript:

player.ship.setCustomHUDDial("combatSLBar", (player.ship.serviceLevel-75)/25);

There are more Custom HUD dials filled by CombatMFD, for example combatSpeed is very useful imho.

I've tried CombatMFD, but during a battle, I find I do worse when tempted to peek at the MFD instead of just keeping my eyes on the crosshairs! Simplify, simplify, simplify!

Oh. I would have expected a more fancy HUD in this one!

Norby, that would make a nice post for the Tweaking Thread, even though it's not OXP specific!

This is why I was happy when custom dials arrived: these can help to read the values near the bars, even without bringing up the MFD.
Done, thanks!
