HUD Aspect Correction
Hi there,
I've found a problem with the HUD that always streched.
on CstDoom3 this problem are corrected very well.
Is possible to replicate the same on dhewm3?

I'll have to look at cstdoom3 (and probably their source code) and figure out how they're doing this and maybe adept that change to dhewm3.
Right now I don't have the time (right now I don't even have the time to finally finish that 1.5.1 release), but I hope I'll get around to it eventually :)
Really thanks, I hope some day you have some time. I know that this is a lot of work to do.
Thanks men, and I'll be tuned with your news.
I took a look the cstdoom3's source code. It has a cvar that handles this, named cst_hudAdjustAspect, which is called in idPlayerView::RenderPlayerView (in both base and d3xp). ~~I've extracted the relevant code to a gist~~. This isn't quite right, as this only controls the drawing of the Lag meter. If you grep around for cst_hudAdjustAspect you can see that there's an anchoring system for UI elements.
This requires adjusted .gui files that use cstAnchor.
So far I have avoided shipping custom data files (and they'd only be for the base game and RoE anyway, doesn't help for mods) and I think I'd like to keep it like that for now.
