With months under the hood working on this, it'd seem about time to release. Eh?
MinHUD, as the short for Minimal Heads Up Display which ain't even a fancy name but besides the point, is a simple-yet-robust HUD that can be used over the vanilla one if you so wish. Pulling from the game's source code for functions and logics while also sprinkling what knowledge I have in scripting to make it stand up with flair such as animated rings, animated Invincibility/Super Sneakers icons, and 'styles'.
Speaking of 'styles' - have you taken the chance to look at the gifs? If you have done so, you might have seen how the elements of this HUD are located differently from each other.
Those are the styles! Left shows Minimal, the center shows Classic, the right shows Compact.
Whichever your cup of tea is, all three are for someone out there. If you don't fair with them then it's no problem! MinHUD can be toggled on or off to allow the vanilla HUD to show up as usual. Unless there are mods that mess with it for their own purposes... then MinHUD will act funky.
As with mods that require to mess with their console variable, here's the mod's own!
Just don't forget about this one, alright? It's gonna save your bacon and time.
Have a good one, and hoping people'll enjoy the work I did with this mod thus far!

minhud: Toggles MinHUD on or off. This will trigger a toggle of the vanilla HUD to hide/show it.minhud_style: Changes between the available styles. Minimal (0), Classic (1), and Compact (2).minhud_timerres: Changes how the timer displays the time. Either in seconds and minutes, as before but with centiseconds added, or in tics... I mean if you're an oldie and like the precise timings. Classic (0), Centiseconds (1), and Tics (2).minhud_seenplayer: Enables or disables MinHUD's own mechanic to display the names of other players you're targetting in a netgame. While identical to vanilla's, it has a nice fading effect!minhud_seenplayer_color: Changes the color of the names you'll see when targetting other players in a netgame. The above MUST be on! Colorless (0) makes it always white. Teams (1) makes it change according to the other player's team affiliation. Friend (2) makes it green when the other player is an ally, but red when they're a foe! PlayerColor (3) makes it match the other player's color based on their skincolor's chatcolor definition.minhud_config: This will load or save whatever modifications you've made to MinHUD's console variables. Good if you can't bother writing everything up again on the console after restarting your game!Just don't forget about this one, alright? It's gonna save your bacon and time.

The new icons are also something I've done in the past but just this released digged up for use! Cropped off of the power up monitors, and touched a little to look nice. I wanted to do more with the shields and such but... I ain't a good artist, so I'm dissapointed that's as much I can do with them.
That's one thing I'll look towards for in a following update, auto-loading of the config! I'll be also looking at a boss tracker on top of that as I believe it being a cool addition. Of course it'll keep with the theme of being minimal - don't need a whole health bar covering the screen!
