Nash's HP Bar - a minimalist HP bar mod

[Nash]

Requires GZDoom 4.6.0 and above

As seen in my StrifeCoop live streams! Made this for personal use and was quickly thrown together in the most simple and minimalistic way possible.

Just a HP bar. Nothing else!

Intentionally no customizability. I wanted to keep it clean and simple.

Can be toggled on and off. Useful in a coop game where some players may not want their screen to be cluttered, but all players must have the mod loaded to prevent desyncs.

The bar's position will always be drawn such so that it will never obscure your pickup messages. It also respects message scale settings and the number of lines as determined by the 'con_notifylines' CVAR.

Have fun!

Ah crap, forgot to specify that the mod uses an in-development feature only available in devbuilds. But not to worry, GZDoom 4.6.0 is going to be released really soon which will rectify it.

In the mean time, this is only runnable on a devbuild. http://devbuilds.drdteam.org/

It's really time to release a new GZD version...

Soon! :P Any moment now... !

Updated the mod to run only in GZDoom 4.6.0 (because it won't work in previous versions anyway).

It's ingenious. I like it even more than Xaser's "Universal Damage Numbers". Both mods serve similar purposes, but yours lets you also see how much damage you still have to inflict to down the enemy, which is even better. Simple and functional, a classic Nash!

I could imagine two more options (if there was supposed to be some customizability after all):
- Toggle between HP bar for all enemies and bosses only (could be part of the On/Off switch to minimize amount of needed CVARs)
- Override default text color with white in all games (especially Doom would profit from this since red letters don't look so good with red background)

v1.2 has been released:

- Rewrote target-finding system, it now ignores player auto-aim setting, and has unlimited distance
- Use white as the font colour

The font color change is definitely an improvement. Regarding that autoaim adjustment... it's a double-edged sword for me. On one hand, you now don't have HP bars popping up without actually having any enemy in your crosshair, but on the other hand, if you play with autoaim on and mouse aiming off (like I usually do), you now wouldn't get any bars for enemies located above or below you.

[Nash]

Guess I'll have to add 1 more option for autoaim then. Was trying to avoid adding options on principle.

I'll take care of it for the next version.
