Smooth HUD - Immersive Transitions (ESPless)
Description
Have you ever tried out oHUD and used the "immersive HUD" feature before realizing that it kind of just pops UI elements into the game without a smooth fade in and out? Not to mention that there are vanilla elements in-game that fade smoothly in and out- namely the Sneak Meter and the XP notification. Jarring, isn't it?
Apparently, the functionality to smoothly fade out HUD elements has existed since at least 2019, but nobody has done it yet. Fourteen years of seeing your HUD when you don't need to, sheesh!
I forked Qolore7's Contextual HUD and created a mod that smoothly fades in the HP, AP, Ammo, and Compass UI elements according to your preferences. Since the entire mod just consists of a single script, the fantastic Stentorious was able to convert it to running on ScriptRunner without an .esp. The conditions where you can see each element and the speed of the fades are all configurable via .ini file.
Want to see for yourself? Watch this video of the mod in action. Feel free to make the fades slower or faster as you please.
