📋 About This Mod
Overhaul of diverse UI.
I want to use this mod page to gather all my interface related stuff.
PLEASE, READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE ASKING WHY YOUR SETUP DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MY SCREENSHOTS.
If you want the whole retro-experience, follow this mod load order:
-
[]Big Red Hud
[
]Wilhelm Big Hud[]Free Rein
[]Wilhelm Free Rein
[]Wilhelm Crosshair - Retro Mode / Wilhelm Crosshair - Widescreen (Doesn't matter the order of this mod)
[]Wilhelm HUD / Wilhelm HUD - No Letters
[]Retro-Frame
[]Wilhelm Retro-Frame
WILHELM'S HUD
Description:
Changes the main HUD (the bottom frame that appears when you disable Full Screen in the ESC menu or press F10). Inspired by this mod by aHeadyNord but I wanted to make a more vanilla style friendly design and optimized for Retro-Frame. So I mostly used textures and sprites of the game.
- []Health, Stamina and Magicka resembles blood, spiritual energy and stellar dust respectively. (Make sure that "Swap Health & Fatigue" option is enabled in the launcher menu)
[
]Low stats change the appareance of the bars frames. If you are low of health the frame becomes bloody and you can see the bones. If you are low of stamina the frame becomes dark and if you're low of magicka the frame becomes dry.[]Icons are more detailed and related with the actions that represents. Every icon has letters, but if you don't want it just download "Wilhelm HUD - No Letters" instead.
[]The compass have the NSEW cardinal directions and uses the sun drawing from the map menu.
[]New hand-animated compass arrow inspired by the Daggerfall logo.

WILHELM'S RETRO-FRAME
Required Mods:
- []Retro-Frame
- []HUD Torch Indicator
My overlay for the Retro-Frame mod by DunnyOfPenwick. You need the original Retro-Frame mod for it to work.
- []The frame is now 426x200 px instead of 320x180 px. So it has the same height that the 320x200 Retro Mode and is stretched in the same way.
[]Text color matches the same of the vanilla.
[]No flash effects and no dark panels on pause, for a better integration with the vanilla menus.
[]Borders with gargoyles (using the sprites from the Fairy Dragon) inspired by the Ultima Underworld HUD. You can disable these borders in the Retro-Frame mod settings.
[]You can integrate HUD Torch Indicator by AverniteDF with the gargoyles using the presets included in this mod.
