Revision information.....
- FSO Revision: 9018
hud_gauges.tbl is used for modifying the elements of the HUD. Not all gauges can be modified. However, custom gauges may be added to mimic their behavior (such as the wingman status display).
HUD Elements in FS2 are called Gauges, and each gauge has various options to customize appearance and, in some cases, their behavior as well.
This table is one of the Modular Tables and can be extended with xxx-hdg.tbm
NOTE: The following information is only applicable for builds based on Antipodes 7.

#Gauge Config
The following entries define default gauge appearance and behavior. Each gauge has the option of overriding these options.
$Ship:
Optional. If defined, the following config data will only be used if the player ship is of the supplied ship class. Can be defined multiple times within a #Gauge config group to allow unique HUD configurations per ship class.
If not defined, all following config data will be applied to all ships.

$Max:
Maximum resolution for this config. Any resolution higher than specified will not use this configuration.
- Syntax: (Integer width, Integer height)
- Valid Values: All supported resolutions (?)
$Gauges:
Following entries define gauge-specific behavior. For the most part, each gauge has its own overrides that, if not defined, would otherwise use the global values.
Since many gauges have the same configuration options, each gauge entry has a list of valid sub-entries. Unless stated otherwise, these options must be defined in the same order as they are shown, starting from the top and ending at the bottom.
