PartyFrames

A UE4SS Lua mod that shows live health for every player in your online session, two ways:

• []Party panel: a fixed, movable list of everyone in the session with name, health bar, and numbers.[/]

  []Overhead bars: a health bar added to the game's own floating player nameplates, so teammates in view carry their HP over their heads. The game keeps doing the positioning, distance scaling, and culling; the mod only adds the bar.[/]

  Both are independent: toggle each in the settings or with its hotkey.

  • []Works as host or joining client. Roster and health come from replicated state, so nothing depends on being the server.[/]

    []Purely client-side and read-only: it never touches anyone's gameplay state. Only you see the bars; other players need nothing installed.[/]

    []Bars recolor by remaining health (green / yellow / red), dead players show DEAD, players still loading in show --.[/]

    []Nothing is drawn on menus or loading screens.[/]

    Controls

    All three keys are rebindable in config.txt or the in-game settings; key changes apply after a restart. Defaults:

    • []F7: show/hide the party panel (auto-shows in world by default)[/]

      []F8: show/hide the overhead nameplate health bars[/]

      []DEL: toggle move mode, where arrow keys nudge the panel; the position is saved[/]

      Requirements

      • []RuneScape: Dragonwilds (Steam), on Windows or on Linux via Proton (UE4SS runs inside the Windows build either way)[/]

        []A recent build of UE4SS for RSDragonwilds (older builds crash on UMG SetText)[/]

        []Optional: Mod Menu for the in-game settings page[/]

        Install

        Unpack the release zip to <game>\RSDragonwilds\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods so that ...\Mods\PartyFrames\Scripts\main.lua exists. The bundled enabled.txt activates it; on older UE4SS builds add PartyFrames : 1 to Mods\mods.txt instead.

        Mod managers that deploy UE4SS folder mods work too: add the folder as a mod, enable, deploy.

        Settings

        In game: with Mod Menu installed, press Esc → MODS → Party Frames. Every setting is there, drawn with the game's own controls; changes apply instantly except the ones marked restart. Mod Menu is optional; without it the mod works the same, configured by file.

        On disk: user settings live in config.txt in the mod root (Key = value), and Mod Menu reads and writes the same file. Highlights: independent toggles for panel and overhead bars, show/hide your own row, hide-when-solo, numbers as values/percent/none, overhead bar size and offset, poll interval, and all three hotkeys. Cosmetics and fine layout (colors, thresholds, fonts, panel geometry) live in Scripts/config.lua, documented inline.

        The panel position is remembered when you move it; delete Scripts/party_position.txt to return to the default.
