Big thank you to Gopher for the kind words and for the excellent video outlining the installation process clearly!

Sneak peek 0. 2. 2 of the revision is now available!

Experimental patch so that BetterHUD works together with StarUI HUD is now also available.

Original Features

Smaller and moved Location Text and XP Indicator.

Disable Enemy Health Bars and Hit Marker.

A Dot Crosshair that is Non-Dynamic and lacks the bars for weapons.

There are numerous alternatives and options as outlined below.

Both Location Text and XP Indicator have been moved down quite a bit on the HUD in order to not obscure the gameplay.

Alternatively you can choose to use either of the following by instead installing one of the optional downloads:

  • [] Hide the XP indicator completely and still keep the changes that this mod makes to the location text.

    []Only change XP indicator.

Numerous other optional files exist at this time. Once the options start to settle a bit, I intend to make an installer that will make for a much better user experience.

Dot Crosshair Optionals expanded upon:

[]BetterHUD - Only Dot Crosshairs is only dot crosshair.

[]BetterHUD - Dot Crosshairs - Enemy Health Hit Mark is dot crosshair along with disabling enemy health bar and hit marker.
