[SDL CODE] Health shown as a message while using full screen mode.

I think I have found a quick and nice solution for those who usually play
with full screen mode and doesn't like to press "TAB" all of the time
to check on their health.

First off you need to input the in-game messages feature by WSJ.
Second off you need to input those lines I'll put in this tutorial

in WL_DEF.H look for these lines:

Code:


void    GetMessage (char *lastmessage);
void    DrawMessage (void);

Underneath those lines put this line:

Code:


void DrawHltMessage (void);

After that open WL_DRAW.CPP and locate these lines:

Code:


if (messagetime > 0)
DrawMessage ();

Underneath those lines add:

Code:


   if(viewsize == 21 && gamestate.weapon != -1)
    DrawHltMessage ();

After that you should go to the end of the WL_DRAW.CPP file and modify this function:

Code:


/*
========================
=
= DrawMessage
=
= displays ingame messages
=
========================
*/

void DrawMessage (void)
{

  messagetime-=tics;
fontnumber = 0;
// message's shadow
  SETFONTCOLOR(0x0,0x1); // set the color
PrintX=7; PrintY=1;
US_Print(gamestate.message);

SETFONTCOLOR(0x4,0x0); // set the color
PrintX=8; PrintY=2; // position the message
US_Print(gamestate.message); // print message
DrawPlayBorderSides();
}

to look like this:

Code:


/*
========================
=
= DrawMessage
=
= displays ingame messages
=
========================
*/

void DrawMessage (void)
{
messagetime-=tics;
fontnumber = 0;
// message's shadow
SETFONTCOLOR(0x0,0x1); // set the color
PrintX=7; PrintY=1;
US_Print(gamestate.message);

SETFONTCOLOR(0x4,0x0); // set the color
PrintX=8; PrintY=2; // position the message
US_Print(gamestate.message); // print message
DrawPlayBorderSides();
}

void DrawHltMessage (void)
{
fontnumber = 0;
SETFONTCOLOR(0x0,0x1);
PrintX=8; PrintY=14;
US_Print("Health: ");
US_PrintUnsigned (gamestate.health);
SETFONTCOLOR(0x4,0x0);
PrintX=9; PrintY=15;
US_Print("Health: ");
US_PrintUnsigned (gamestate.health);
DrawPlayBorderSides ();
}

That's it!
Now you can play in full screen mode without pressing the "TAB" key anymore!
Hope anyone will ever use it. And if you do please don't forget to Credit WSJ for the in-game messages code.
And yeah I wouldn't mind to get a little credit too...

Just forgot onething though... Ammo. Yeah..
Just repeat the steps. Just don't forget to modify the lines!
Happy coding!
