Like it! Love me a lightweight universal mod. Any chance to add support for like... the main fonts for various IWADs? Like, beyond the generic font, numbers in the style of Doom, Hexen, Strife, etc? I don't know if there's a way to grab the default HUD font, but it'd make a lot of sense if that's an option, to have that as a choice.

I mainly stuck with the Doom small font for simplicity, but if I can get the number sprites from the other games like Hexen and Strife, I can include them in.

The mod has been updated with fonts from Doom, Hexen, and Strife, as well as some minor fixes to how the sprites display!

What happened to the link?

Oop, I modified the original post with an added changelog, but since it has to be approved first, I think the post got temporarily removed

It's all good. That being said, I like this one! I even added a custom font using Kenyan Italic. Although, when damage reaches the 3 digits the 3rd digit vears to the right a little when using the custom font. But I just probably need to adjust it a bit more.

ah thank you for catching this, I had mistakenly not adjusted my math for offsetting the numbers earlier in the build and since it was fine for the first few numbers, i didn't catch it. I've since fixed it now on the github!

Thanks -- of three I tried this is my favorite damage numbers mod! Never used one before but it's both addictive and strategy-informing to see the actual numbers. Think it'll be a mainstay.

One minor usability issue I've encountered is it can be impossible to read them at point-blank range, especially amid bloody gibs. I wonder if the number could be scripted to never exit off the top of the screen or something, so the player would have more of a chance to read the close ones. After using some more I realize that suggestion doesn't make the most sense. I have had luck with turning the numbers white, which stands out better from all the gore.
