SimpleHP Overlay RE2

This Lua mod requires manual installation and cannot be installed through Fluffy Mod Manager.

You must extract and install the files manually.

Please follow the installation instructions below for detailed steps.

Description

This mod displays each enemy's current HP and Max HP as simple text above the enemy's head or at a fallback anchor position, allowing you to quickly check enemy health during combat.

By default, HP is displayed in the Current HP / Max HP format, but you can change it to show only the current HP through the option.

The overlay is automatically hidden while the game is paused, the inventory is open, or a cutscene/event is playing.

Enemy type detection, joint anchors, HP text, and other related data are cached to reduce unnecessary repeated processing.

REFramework Direct2D is supported but not required.

When Direct2D is available, the mod uses the D2D renderer. If it is unavailable, the mod automatically switches to an ImGui fallback renderer.

Try out the various filter and offset options and create your own preferred setup!

This mod is not an HP bar overlay. It is a numeric text-based HP overlay.

There are absolutely no plans to make a bar-style overlay, so please do not ask about it.

This mod may conflict with other Lua scripts that modify the same functionality.

Due to the way the game is designed, inactive entities and entities located in other areas are forcibly updated at a lower frame rate.

As the overlay follows their game-provided position data, it may also appear to update at the same reduced frame rate.

This behavior can be somewhat mitigated by using REFix.

Installation instructions

Extract the contents of the archive into:

Game folder\reframework

The final folder structure should be:

...\RESIDENT EVIL 2  BIOHAZARD RE2\reframework\autorun\SimpleHP_Overlay_RE2.lua

...\RESIDENT EVIL 2  BIOHAZARD RE2\reframework\fonts\tahoma.ttf

...\RESIDENT EVIL 2  BIOHAZARD RE2\reframework\fonts\tahomabd.ttf

Please install the entire folder structure rather than copying only the Lua file.

The included font files are used by the ImGui fallback renderer.
