Scathe

Scathe Chic-Looking Damage Counters version 0. 1

Requires Oblivion Script Extender and Pluggy

Description

"Tired of watching that outrageously diluted blood spill out of those god-complex'ed vampires? Being constantly reminded that the game was rated mature for a reason that had nothing to do with the in-game violence? Losing touch with your sadistic side?"

Scathe doesn't help with any of the above. It is simply lets you say stuff like "zOMg!Muh char hitz crit lik3 h3||", "eat 1. 342K fire dmg, azura boy!", "World of Warcraft is great game" without getting banned until the year 2317.

It also brings you one step closer to playing Borderlands on the Gamebryo engine. Using my edge detection shader from the OGE thread and pestering DragoonWraith to release ARES should also serve to achieving that goal.

I hope the message got through …

Scathe adds damage counters to the game UI that display changes to an actor's health. An actor taking health damage will spawn counters that show the damage he/she/it's being dealt with. On the other hand, a healing actor will spawn counters that show the amount of health gained. In essence, this mod succeeds Adrenalin Fuelled Combat's Damage Text plugin.

Counters can follow one of 3 different trajectories - They can either behave as a projectile, or simply rise or fall – and can be painted with custom colors.

Compatibility

This mod is, and should be, compatible with every mod there is.
