MWVR HUD Display

This mod will probably be quarantined for the first few hours while I get Nexusmods support to review and approve the .exe file.

This tool adds changes to the original Mechwarrior VR mod by Sicsix by intercepting his custom rendering pipeline, duplicating the widgets and exporting it to a custom app (Main.cpp) to display. The source code is here if you want to see it (entirely done with Claude, I'm not a programmer).

Setup instructions:

• []Install Mechwarrior VR and follow ALL steps, ensure everything is working properly before you attempt to proceed any further.

  []Download the release files, there will be a HUD.dll file and HUDDisplay.exe file.

  []Navigate to the Mechwarrior-Win64-Shipping.zip (you should know where it is if you followed all the MWVR steps)

  []Open the .zip file using whatever extraction program you have (I still use winrar lol...)

  []Open the plugins folder, it should look something like this

  []Drag our new copy of HUD.dll into this folder and overwrite the original HUD.dll file

  []Import the plugins folder in UEVR

  []Our new HUD.dll should now be the version that injects into the game along with the rest of the MWVR mod. This now means that our HUDDisplay.exe has a place to hook onto - run the game, inject UEVR and open HUDDisplay.exe (it will crash if being opened before UEVR is injected)

  []Once launched, it will take a few seconds to load up, then you'll see 2 screens, a log screen (which will be spamming "Widget 4 not active") and a black screen - minimize the log screen and drag the black screen to whereever you want the display to be showing

  []Hop into a mission, if everything is working, numpad 1-6 should show you each screen (The default screen is the target screen which will be blank until you target something). If you don't have a numpad you'll need to manually map a bind using autohotkey or something, you'll be rebinding these keys to your MFD anyway, sorry but I did not want to interfere with existing common keybinds. Numpad 7/8 will cycle forwards/backwards, Numpad 9 will be the zoom camera capture - this will require additional setup which I will detail in the next section.

• Remap your MFD buttons using a button remapper like Joystick Gremlin - if you have multiple screens/MFDs that you want to use, see the next section for further setup.
