📋 About This Mod
Description
I have attempted to contact the author multiple times to take over the mod, since he hasn't updated in months, and he hasn't responded to anything I have sent. The mod hasn't been updated since January so I am starting a new page and continuing work on the mod and updates throughout the patches, since it appears the mod author has completely abandoned the mod and it is currently non-working. Credit goes to the original author, pepezoro, for creating the mod.
ShowHealth Redux simply shows target's health and percent above the name bar.
Could be helpful to test weapon damage or monitor boss HP.
The ability to show actual hp value needs language support.
It will only shows hp percentage when playing with languages not in the list below.
English, French, Korean, Japanese, Chinese simplified, Chinese traditional, Russian, Spanish, Polish
Update
Added some missing enemies, such as turrets, sheepsquatch.
Tweaked some health values that were changed in updates.
Installation
1. Extract ShowHealth.ba2 into "...\Fallout76\Data"
2. (Optional) Download the Fallout76Custom.ini from the Download page if you don't have one already.
3. If you do have one already, add ShowHealth.ba2 to the end of your sResourceArchive2List in your Fallout76Custom.ini

My advice is to use Cloudy01's Fallout 76 Mod Manager as an alternative to install.
Experimental
For Compatibility between Perk Loadout Manager + ShowHealth you need to download Perk Loadout Manager + SFE.
At the end of your SResourceArchiveList2 load order, put Perk Loadout Manager last. That is, put the .ba2 that PLM comes with last.
Again, I haven't changed the code of PLM so you must down the mod from the authors page. I have just injected a loader into ShowHealth.
Compatibility
This mod modifies the hudmenu.swf file and will not be compatible with other mods that do so.
Future game updates to this file may need an update to this mod.
ShowHealth Redux is a Fallout 76 mod that displays target health and percentage above the name bar, useful for testing weapon damage or monitoring boss HP. It supports multiple languages but falls back to percentage-only for others. The mod is a continuation of an abandoned original, updated for compatibility.
