+Position settings:
+With these settings you can configure the positions of the HUD bars. All settings must be specified as a number.
+The pos settings are specified as a floating-point number between 0 to 1 each, the start_offset settings are
+specified as whole numbers, they specify a number of pixels.
+The left and right variants are used for the zig-zag mode. In the stack_up and stack_down modes, only the left variant is used for
+the base position
+
+- hudbars_pos_left_x, hudbars_pos_left_y: Screen position (x and y) of the left HUD bar in zigzag mode. 0 is left-most/top, 1 is right-most/bottom.
+	Defaults: 0.5 (x) and 1 (y)
+- hudbars_pos_right_x, hudbars_pos_right_y: Same as above, but for the right one.
+	Defaults: 0.5 and 1.
+- hudbars_start_offset_left_x, hudbars_start_offset_left_y: Offset in pixels from the basic screen position specified in hudbars_pos_left_x/hudbars_pos_left_y.

 - New setting: hudbars_bar_type. You now can change the appearance of the HUD bars.
 - New HUD bar types, slightly experimental: Classic statbars and modern [hud]-style statbars
 - New experimental/unfinished setting: hudbars_alignment_pattern: You can now make the HUD bars stack vertically instead of the current zig-zag pattern. Note you probably need to change source code to productively use this feature
+- Various position-related HUD bar settings (see README.txt)
+- Remove hudbars.conf support and hudbars.conf.example (was never officially supported anyways)
