Widescreen Marathon 2 Style HUD for Marathon 1

Description
Marathon 1's classic HUD, edited to cover less of your screen by matching the layout of Marathon 2's HUD. Don't worry, it keeps the blinky light!

Adds a second inventory page, in netgames the extra page allows the scoreboard to be separate from the inventory display.

Ultrawides are also supported via letterboxing the HUD. Better ultrawide support is currently in development.

To activate, subscribe to this workshop item, then launch the game and go to
Preferences -> Graphics -> HUD Plugin
Select "Default M2 HUD for M1 - Wide from the list.

For the most "classic but widescreen" experience, I also recommend these other settings:
Limit Vertical View: OFF
FOV Override: 96 if 16:9 screen, 90 if 16:10 screen, 112 (for 21:9) or 132 (for 32:9 weirdos)
HUD Size: Largest

For a widescreen version of the original M1 HUD in all its claustrophobic glory, check this out:

Hello, sorry about that. I've uploaded an update to fix it. It was caused by a case sensitive filename.

Hud wouldn't render when using the linux build for some reason

Sorry, the hud weapon graphics work totally independently of the HUD. I can't do anything about it with a hud plugin.

I was using this great mod but then I got the rocket launcher and the sprite for the launcher isn't aligned to the side of the screen it's off by like 50 pixels or something. I use 16:10 monitor I noticed some other widescreen huds have the same problem except for the enhanced hud, but I want to use this one is there an option I need to change to make it work or maybe it can be fixed please and thanks.
