Habitable Enemy Health

OVERVIEW

One day, while quite literally sitting high up in a rather small tree - which in hindsight isn't a great idea for something an adult person should be doing - I mused about how much I enjoyed the fast paced floating health bars from more Souls-like games. I realized that I'm not sure I'm a fan of like 20 floating damage numbers flying off of an enemy when you shoot them once with a shotgun - I think I might prefer just one number near the enemy that will show me how much damage I've done to them in total with that shot and over time. Upon this epiphany, I pondered more on how this could be done - and I even looked through Nexus to see if perhaps something like this had been done. Yet still, I couldn't really find anything that really captured what I wanted - so I figured I would try and build it myself. What you see here is the result of that attempt.

This mod adds much nicer looking healthbars and implements them in a bit more of a modern way compared to the base game health bars. The mod includes everything from different texture styles, toggleable passive markers for enemies that are aggro'd to you but that you aren't currently engaging, damage numbers (this is more of a damage over time number that will approximate something like a DPS), and even support for Fatigue Overhauls like this one from StealthDick, and more! See the example video below that will showcase the mod with the default style and with passive markers enabled (passive markers will be disabled by default in the packaged .ini)

This mod should be compatible with VUI+, VUIE, Base Vanilla HUD, HUD Editor, oHUD, and M. U. X. - Super Lite Edition (any MUX version that actually uses the MUX floating health bars will be incompatible with this - you will get both bars).

CONFIGURATION

This section will take you through the options within the packaged .ini that will govern how the mod works in your game. It is highly recommended that you read this section - or read the .ini itself as almost all of the notes here are copied from the .ini

[]HEHMode will set the primary behavior of this mod

[]If HEHMode is set to 1, multiple enemy health bars will be allowed to show, each with floating positions

[]If HEHMode is set to 2, only one enemy health bar will be allowed to show, with positioning set by the HEHAlignment setting

[]HEHAlignment will set the alignment of the enemy health bar when HEHMode is set to 2
