    Xenon HUD
    By Nick Rogers
    
    Overview
    ========
    This HUD puts most of the important scales (fuel, speed, laser temp, fore/aft shields and energy) around the crosshairs, but with a low alpha and a uniform colour to avoid distractions when fighting. It also moves other HUD elements to the edges of the screen, rather than grouping them around the scanner. 
    
    There are three different HUD files which are used during flight. The main HUD is the standard one containing all the crosshair information. The second one is used when a GUI screen is brought up during flight. This secondary HUD gathers all the gauges and displays them in the bottom left while the GUI is open. The third HUD is a hi-contrast version of the main HUD (see below).
    
    This OXP requires Oolite version 1.82 or higher.
    
    Feature Summary
    ===============
    - Centralised gauges around the crosshairs and giving them a uniform colour (except in alert conditions).
    - Fixes bug with witchspace destination labels - next jump destination is now shown, not the final destination.
    - Docked and inflight GUI huds.
    - New crosshair images for each weapon type.
    - Works with 16:10 and 16:9 format displays.
    - Also works with 4:3 ratio screens automatically (1 MFD slot is dropped in this configuration).
    - Allows 3rd party laser OXP's to configure the crosshairs (see below).
    - Automatic 40% glare reduction on all views.
    - Automatically hides the HUD when an external view is selected, and unhides it when a standard view is selected.
    - Implements the "allow_big_gui" option to maximise GUI interface screen real-estate when docked.
    - Prime-able equipment allows HUD to be switched to "hi-contrast" mode, which is useful when sun-skimming. Can be automatically engaged with options via Library Config.
    - Incoming missile warning indicator on HUD.
    - Mass-lock indicator on HUD.
    
    Mode Selector
    =============
    Hi-Contrast mode
    ----------------
    The Xenon HUD comes with two operation modes: normal and hi-contrast. The hi-contrast mode can be useful when sun-skimming, when the glare from the sun can otherwise obscure instrumentation. To switch between the modes, first prime the "Xenon HUD Mode Selector" by pressing "Shift-N" until it appears as the primed equipment. Then, press the "N" key to activate first the hi-contrast mode, then again to revert back to normal mode.
    
    Hi-contrast mode will automatically be turned off when you dock.
    
    If the prime-able equipment is removed via Library Config, Hi-Contrast mode will be automatically engaged when the screen glare reaches a point where the mode would be useful.
    
    Crosshair modes
    ---------------
    The crosshairs can also be configured to operate in different conditions. With the "Xenon HUD Mode Selector" primed, press the "B" key to cycle through these options:
    	"Crosshairs on in all conditions" (this is the default mode)
    	"Crosshairs on in condition red only"
    	"Crosshairs on in condition yellow and red only"
    When the crosshairs are off, all gauges around the crosshairs will also be turned off, giving the pilot an completely unobstructed view of space.
    
    The mode selected for the crosshairs will be stored and will remain in place after docking and launching, and will be saved in mission variables.
    
    A special mode exists for when the player has requested docking clearance at a station. All gauges will be turned off, leaving only a simple crosshair image and the speed gauge to provide a clear view and aid in the docking process.
    
    Glare Filter Compatibility
    ==========================
    If the Glare Filter OXP is installed it will be set to its maximum setting ("High") whenever it is turned on. Attempting to set a low or medium level will be overridden, as both of these levels are at or below the default filter level provided by this OXP.
    
    Glare Clarifier Compatibility
    =============================
    This OXP will detect when the Glare Clarifier OXP is installed, and will allow it to do its work of providing 100% glare filtering.
    
    3rd Party Laser Crosshairs
    ==========================
    Other laser OXP's can configure the Xenon HUD to use a particular image file for their crosshairs. The image file can be one of the ones supplied with the Xenon HUD, or included in their own OXP. To configure a crosshair image file for a particular laser you will need to do the following:
      
    	var xh = worldScripts.XenonHUD;
    	xh.$customCrosshairs({laser:"EQ_WEAPON_MYLASER", filename:"crosshairs.png"});
     
    Example: You have the "LaserCannons.oxz" installed, and you want to use the military laser crosshairs for the "Lance & Ferman Military Cannon". You would need to do this:
    
    	var xh = worldScripts.XenonHUD;
    	xh.$customCrosshairs({laser:"EQ_WEAPON_CANNON_4", filename:"xenon_crosshairs_military.png"});
    
    The crosshairs for the built-in lasers are set up using this same mechanism, so you can also override the crosshair file for those lasers by doing the following:
    
    	var xh = worldScripts.XenonHUD;
    	xh.$customCrosshairs({laser:"EQ_WEAPON_BEAM_LASER", filename:"xenon_crosshairs_alt3.png"});
    
    The crosshair files included in the OXP are:
    	xenon_crosshairs_none.png
    	xenon_crosshairs_pulse.png
    	xenon_crosshairs_beam.png
    	xenon_crosshairs_mining.png
    	xenon_crosshairs_military.png
    	xenon_crosshairs_other.png
    	xenon_crosshairs_alt1.png
    	xenon_crosshairs_alt2.png
    	xenon_crosshairs_alt3.png
    	xenon_crosshairs_alt4.png
    	xenon_crosshairs_alt5.png
    	
    You don't have to use these images. If your OXP has a particular image file you want to use for the crosshairs, you can insert the name of that file instead. Note that the image will be scaled to fit into a 50x50 window - smaller images will be scaled up (potentially making them look pixelated), and larger images will be scaled down (potentially losing fine detail).
