HUDSelector

Install this equipment and change your HUD during flight by pirme (Shift+N) and activate (n).

After you selected your HUD, you can remove HUD Selector equipment due to the selection is saved into your savegame.

Initially supported HUDs:

• Default HUD (the actual hud.plist, for example AAD HUD or Compact HUD)
• Numeric HUD (from v3.22 with 6 MFDs)
• Original HUD (included with hidden MFDs)
• Small HUD (included with hidden MFDs)

Requirements from other HUDs:

• must be the plist differently named than hud.plist
• must define a worldScript with similar this.name than the plist (for example in Config/script.js)
• set your HUD and add your HUD name with plist name into HUDSelector in startUp:

 this.name = "yourhud";
 this.startUp = function () {
  player.ship.hud =  this.name + ".plist";
  var w = worldScripts.hudselector;
  if( w ) w.$HUDSelectorAddHUD("Your HUD", this.name); //name of plist without extension
 }

• can define a callback function in your worldScript to start/stop some parts of your scripted HUD:

 this.$HUDSelectorCallBack = function ( off ) {
   var w = worldScripts["yourhud"];
   if( off ) { //do things to disable your HUD like rename functions
     if( w.shipWillLaunchFromStation ) {
       w.$save_shipWillLaunchFromStation = w.shipWillLaunchFromStation;
       delete w.shipWillLaunchFromStation;
     }
   } else { //do things to activate your HUD like restore disabled functions
     if( !w.shipWillLaunchFromStation )
       eval("w.shipWillLaunchFromStation = "+w.$save_shipWillLaunchFromStation);
   }
 }
