E3X - HUD Overhaul and Optimization

Description

E3X is a compatibility-focused HUD overhaul built on Project E3 - HUD and Project E3 - HUD Tweaks.

It is mainly intended for heavily modded Cyberpunk 2077 setups, especially modlists where multiple mods interact with HUD controllers, nameplates, dialogue UI, notifications, compass elements, stamina, phone widgets, subtitles and other interface systems.

The goal of E3X is to preserve the E3-inspired visual style while fixing problematic HUD behavior, restoring selected vanilla logic where it is more compatible, and reducing unnecessary script overhead.

It does not try to completely redesign Project E3 - HUD instead, it acts as a cleaner and more modlist-friendly version of it.

Main features

The general E3-style presentation, animations and HUD layout remain intact.

E3X is especially useful for setups where several mods modify or observe the same HUD systems.

This can include mods affecting:

• []NPC and enemy nameplates [/]

  []healthbars [/]

  []dialogue UI [/]

  []notifications [/]

  []compass elements [/]

  []stamina [/]

  []subtitles [/]

  []phone widgets [/]

  []activity log [/]

  []Limited HUD-style visibility systems [/]

  []leveling and progression systems [/]

  []other HUD controller replacements [/]

Instead of aggressively replacing large parts of the HUD hierarchy, E3X keeps its changes as isolated as possible.

This makes it better suited for large modlists where broad HUD modifications can easily create conflicts.

Vanilla NPC and enemy nameplate behavior

Project E3 HUD modifies NPC nameplate ranges and visibility logic.

In larger modlists this can cause:

• []names showing over too many NPCs [/]

  []persistent enemy nameplates [/]

  []conflicts with Limited HUD-style mods [/]

  []duplicated or inconsistent healthbar behavior [/]

E3X removes those E3-specific nameplate overri
