Description

The retro HUD main image is too massive (gfx\vgui\hud_main2.vga) because it uses a lot of empty space that doesn't need to use. It should use the new image (gfx\vgui\hud_main3.vga), but requires all the maths to be redone to accommodate that.

Due to the filesize ~3 MBs it takes up a lot of precious memory.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current HUD rendering code, understand the coordinate system and math used for the retro HUD, then adjust it to work with the new smaller image hud main3.vga.
