xhud

[source][documentation coming soon]

xhud (X-wing Heads Up Display) is a command-line based overlay generator for X-wing Second Edition. It is written for Unix-based systmes (Linux, MacOS, etc) but should work on Windows with Windows Subsystem for Linux.

NOTE: The First Edition version of xhud has been renamed to xhud1e.

v0.1 (2018-09-12)

[macOS][linux]

Second Edition only (for the old First Edition xhud, see xhud1e)
Based on the same code base so it behaves the same way
New overlay layout to better reflect Second Edition changes
- Actions listed vertically
- Single upgrade column to make room for charge tokens
- Hull and shield use their respective icons instead of bars
Known issues:
- Not all the features are here yet (score, dice, squadbuilder)
- Some pilots (such as Asajj, any Decimator pilot) causes some of the icons to overlap
