Description Chris "Lakitu7" Schwarz 2011-02-16 11:20:07 EST 
It is confusing that as a builder you can build things while the HUD says you have zero BP, because the HUD is not aware of marked BP. The HUD should show available BP from marked structures. From user request http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=15172.0

Show marked BP on the HUD

Patch does as intended, with the caveat that the display draw code a bit hackish and has a bunch of little numbers that I had to hand-tune, which frankly was a pain. It is so because the current HUD has no real place for it so I had to squish it in as best possible, because I wanted to preserve the appearance in most other cases, and because the text align/width functions aren't remotely precise enough to do it elegantly. When someone designs/codes an official NEW HUD, if ever, I will happily rip out all of that code and add a separate ownerdraw.

Forgot to mention that I also removed a completely unused parameter from G_GetBuildPoints();

Change one char in the patch to fix using an ununitialized value in a rare case. Thanks benmachine.
