⇨ Optional tool, Notepad++ for better read of xml:
↳https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
⇨ My load order with other HUDMenu mods:
ImprovedHealthBars.ba2, EventNotifications.ba2, CustomCrosshair.ba2, PerkLoadoutManager.ba2, ShowHealth.ba2
⇨ For compatibility with ChatMod, load ChatMod after CustomCrosshair.
⇨ ShowHealth and ChatMod are not yet compatible together I belive.
⇨ If you have trouble with any mods not applying or still applying:
1. Check load order inside Fallout76Custom.ini
2. Check if Xml is from latest version
3. Do a scan and repair in the launcher.
↑ New potential features and ideas
□ In the long run, outside the game interface or in game. Less likely in game and would take longer for me.
· Crosshair
○ Different color for when using melee, guns, aiming down sight or aiming objects/allies.
○ Animated crosshair based on ammo spent per second, movement or mouse click.
○ More xml configuration options.
· HUD interface
◊ Move compass, sneak meter, enemy health bars, and ally health bars to the bottom or top.
◊ Move player status icons somewhere more visible. The one bottom right.
◊ Change color or glow indicator when meter is low. Meters: player health, target health, thirst or hunger.
◊ Always show thirst or hunger meter.
· Completed
√ Different crosshair for when interacting, melee, guns and iron sigh
√ Compatibility with major HUD interface mods.
√ Configurable mod.
⟳ Versioning
· How to read versioning after 2. 0. 0
X = Major update. When a lot of stuff change to my interpretation.
Y = Feature update. You need to update your XML configuration.
Z = Compatibility and bug fixes update. No need to update XML configuration.
Each letter gets incremented once per update.
Versioning is currently inconsistent in the nexus changelog before 2. 0. 0
