Description ========
"HUD improved" is a simple and configurable mod that change the appearance of the HUD. It has been created for DarNified UI, so others UI mod are not compatibles. MIn the future I will make different versions for the most popular UI mods. This is the DarNified UI version
These are the features:
- Added a charge bar, to show the current charge of your weapon. It only show for enchanted weapons.
- Added the shield and torch icons, to show your current equipped shield and torch.
- Added new HUD elements to show your gold, encumberance and game time, (They can be Pop-ups, always visilble, or auto hide when in combat)
- Autohide your health, magicka, fatigue, durability and charge bars (Indipendently) when at maximum and force show them in combat.
- Autohide the compass: You can hide it when combat and/or when in interior or exterior cells.
- Autohide your weapon and spell icons. They will only show when:
- WEAPON ICON:
- - you draw the weapon/fists
- - you equip another weapon
SPELL ICON: - you change the current spell - you cast the current spell
(OPTIONAL) BOTH ICONS: - you are in combat
When no one of these condition is met, the icons will hide in 5 seconds. You can decide to consider both icons as one. They will show/hide together with all the above conditions.
- Durability and Charge bars automatically hide when no weapon is equipped.
- Shield icon, Durability and Charge bars will hide when weapon icon does (No way to change this).
- The aspect of your Durability bar change if your armorer skill is above 75 (Because you can repair your equipment up to 125).
- The 4 icons (weapon, spell, shield and torch) will be positioned automatically, if any of them is hidden.
- You can show all the hidden HUD elements (Only if hidden by this mod) with a single key.
- You can enable/disable/configure every single feature in the file "HUDImproved.ini" and during the game.
