Enemy Health Bars

Enemy Health Bars

Mod Status: The mod has been updated for the new engine. It requires MOMI 0. 16. 4 or newer.

A MMAPI mod for Fields of Mistria that adds miniature health bars above enemies in the dungeon! This mod is compatible with mods that change enemy health, including the Deep Dungeon!

Known Limitations

Some monsters appear to "skip" their normal draw step. In these cases, the health bar won't appear. From my testing it appears to only affect Void Cats (when stunned by light), Lava Cats (when stunned by water), and Rock Stacks. Additionally, enemies that are stealth or burrowed will still have their health bar drawn (assuming they use their standard draw step).

Configuration

The mod is configurable and allows you to change the health bar size (normal or small) and fill color (green or red), in addition to the health bar's vertical offset for each monster type.

Author's Note: Configuration File

The configuration file will NOT exist until a save file has been loaded at least once. Therefore, if you wish to configure the mod, start the game and load a save file, then EXIT the game, and lastly edit the configuration file before restarting the game.

In order to customize the mod, you must modify the properties in its configuration file. This file is located in the following directories depending whether you play on Windows or Steam Deck. Note that on Windows, the username in the path below should be your actual username.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\FieldsOfMistria\mod_data\enemy_health_bars

Steam Deck (Proton):

/home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/2142790/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/FieldsOfMistria/mod_data/enemy_health_bars
