MinHUD

[Open Assets] MinHUD 2.1a

This is a really good hud and I like the customizable option it had. It also doesn't break on Android which is very appreciated. However, due to the changes 2.2.11 makes to reading Lua or something, the "minhud_config load" does not work.

I haven't even used it and it looks AMAZING! Can't wait to use it!

Compact, gorgeous, and customizable. I really love this HUD mod, and is probably what I'm going to use from now on! I love how not only each bit of the HUD is animated, but I really like how you even synced the clock icon to the second. The new power up icons are also a really nice touch, being out of the way and animated too!

I think my only requests would be for it to auto-load your config when starting the game, and to have a boss health tracker kinda like the lives one. Awesome work!

Thank you tons for the notes too! Flairs like these make this HUD visually pleasing, now wouldn't you say? Past iterations of this mod didn't have much animation on the way, as it was far simpler with lesser code to worry about with small icons to depict information, but now this has gotten a library within itself to manage the different aspects of the mod and to also lively it up as the good example of the clock icon has shown to you. (I had to use a calculator to get it right, heh.)
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!

What an incredibly well made and robust HUD! I like this one a lot, keeping things simple and the screen free of clutter, while still having nice touches of its own. Normally, I'd gripe about stuff not defaulting to On, but since the mod saves your settings, I don't see that being an issue. Certainly the best minimalist HUD I've seen!

Once more I'm grateful for the positive notes! This is the first mod that I've went working on for months now under the shadows - one I'm most proud of - that has seen several iterations in the past, and 2.1 is a release I felt confident sharing with people. It's also the first one I'm experimenting with simple I/O to save config files!
Being simple was the objective for the main portion of the HUD, but I was planning on additions that would spice it up (such as seeing the status of friends in a netgame on the top right, much like source ports like Zandronum), but this was taking too much of my time to code that I had to shave it out for this release. Although that didn't stop me from sprinkling my touches to lively it up!
It didn't help either that I also spent that time to make everything robust as it could be... which I'm glad I did, otherwise there'd be a few kinks and quirks here and there that I'd have to patch up.
