========= HUD Status Bars 5.3.2 ============
Author: Ole Boe, a.k.a. TheNiceOne
Date:Oct 25, 2011
OBSE 19 (or later) required. OBSE 20 is recommended, and required for some bars.
MenuQue required.
[size="4"]========= Have as many bars you want and make the HUD look the way you want! [/size]
* More Bars
You have the three HUD status bars at the bottom left (most likely) of your hud, but with HUD Status Bars you can easily add more status bars that display anything you want it to display, like health of companions or summons, your encumbrance, charge of equipped weapon, sleep status (of sleep mods), etc. The bars can be horizontal, vertical or filled circles, or be completely custom. And the bars can have text (with or without the bar).
HUD Status Bars has big depth but is easy to use. Just install it (and OBSE+MenuQue if you haven't already) and start up your game. The immediate change will be an Encumbrance bar above your health bar, a diseas display telling you when you're diseased, a weapon charge bar that is only visible when you have an enchanted weapon equipped, above the weapon icon - and a few other useful bars for you to discover. :)
You can easily add more bars like this yourself, by adding 2 or more lines in HUD Status Bars' ini file for each bar. "docs\Hud Status Bars ini file examples.txt" contains many other examples for you to copy into "Hud Status Bars.ini", so it is easy to add more bars even for relatively inexperienced mod users.
The bars can be horizontal, vertical or a filled circle - or even completely custom styles, and can easily be placed anywhere, relative to your other hud components. The bars can also display text, both static and variable text in a number of different ways (value of max, percentage, etc). The bar can have one of any of 15 different base colors, and the color can further be adjusted individually for the red/green/blue components.
* New look
HUD Status Bars lets you completely change the look of the HUD. This is done by moving/resizing/hiding the standard bars/icons, and by completely changing the look and improving the functionality of bars/icons replacing them. Example of improved bars/icons are colored enemy health bar that also works when enemy's health is buffed above normal, or sneak icon that also displays amount of light falling on player, and health bar that changes color when you get a disease. See the preset ini files, or ini file examples for such bars.
HUD Status Bars have an "Hud Status Bars - base.ini" file where you define the position/hiding of standard bars/icons, and the standard look of the bars to use. By changing those, you can get a slightly improved HUD, or a dramatically different HUD.
HUD Status Bars comes with three preset ini files to choose from: vanilla style, Skyrim style, and Orb style inspired by Diablo 3. Just swap ini files if you want to change it later, or adjust the existing one to your liking.
* New and better compass!
HUD Status Bars also comes with three optional compasses. Round, orb style, Skyrim style or DarNified UI style. Those are fully optional, so you can keep the standard compass instead, but HUD Status Bars' versions have some advantages: In the "Hud Status Bars - base.ini" file you have a number of compass settings, that allows for the following changes:
* Free compass zoom (make it the size you want)
* Markers change size/opaqueness depending on their distance (and also move closer to the centre of the orb compass).
* Choose the area the compass displays (only a narrow front, or full 360 degrees)
* Enable/disable quest arrows
* ...and of course free positioning
* Also...
HUD Status Bars has an option to correct a vanilla bug in the Encumbrance display in the Inventory/Container/Barter menus - in order to avoid confusion when HUD Status Bars display one (the correct) value and the inventory menu another (incorrect) value.
* See the "Hud Status Bars ini file examples.txt" for lots of new bars to add to your game (enemy/companion/summon/horse stats, clock, Oblivion gate info, levelup info, status from other mods, etc.)
* See the "Hud Status Bars user guide.txt" for details of how to set up bars displaying more advanced values.
* See the "Hud Status Bars custom bar guide.txt" for details of how to set up bars with completely custom look.
========= NEW BARS
The following new bars are added by default (but can easily be removed from the ini file)
* Encumbrance bar (displays current/max encumbrance)
* Summoned creature health, only visible when currently having one
* Disease status, only visible when currently having one (icon of effect and name of last received disease, and number of current diseases)

* Weapon charge and health (small bars above and below weapon icon)
* Improved enemy health bar (colored, and also displays if enemy has buffed health above base health - which vanilla bar is not displaying)
The following bars/hud elements are defined in the Hud Status Bars ini file examples.txt file, and can be copied into the ini file.

* Immersionist sneak icon, changes color and transparency to indicate light, but not detection
* Sneak icon that changes transparency to indicate light, and color to indicate detection

Other mods, like Basic Primary Needs and Deadly Reflex 6 have HUD Status Bars ini settings in their documentation. See also webrunner's HUDStatusBar icons page (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37965) for more bar ini settings, and additional icons to go with them.
========= COMPATIBILITY
HUD Status Bars is generally compatible with any UI mod (and vanilla UI), and automatically makes the bars the same size and look, and in correct position relative to the hud elements in your current setup. HUD Status Bars has been tested with:
* Unmodded (vanilla) UI
* Darnified UI
* DarkUId DarN
* BTmod
* Dark UI
* Immersive Interface
There are a number of incompatibilities with Oblivion Interface Overhaul or mods using it (Nehrim, OWC-ND). HUD Status Bars should partly work with them, but vanilla items (status bars, location text, compass, etc.) will not be recognized by HUD Status Bars, so you cannot position bars relative to those or adjust them with HUD Status Bars. I recommend that you install HUD Status Bars' optional vanilla HUD base with a compass if using Nehrim or OWC-ND. This will revert the HUD back to a style recognized by HUD Status Bars.
I would appreciate comments from people using other UI mods, telling me if it works or not. HUD Status Bars should be compatible with all non-UI mods, and can be used to display values for all other mods.
========= (UN-)INSTALLATION
The mod is OMOD-ready and BAIN-friendly so installing with OBMM or BAIN is recommended. For manual install, extract the archive. Then copy the content of "00 Core" to your Oblivion/Data folder. Also copy the content of one of the "01 ... style" folders. If you use Unnecessary Violence II and want the bars for it, copy the content of one of the "20 - UVII addition..." folders too.
After installation, start your game and you should see an Encumbrance bar, and a charge bar when an enchanted weapon is equipped (and a few other useful bars), without having to do anything with the ini file! But you can of course remove them or add others by editing the ini file.
Make sure that you have OBSE 19 (or later) and MenuQue. Without, HUD Status Bars will simply not work at all.
For the optional compasses, you must install the content of the "10 - Optional compass HUD base..." folder that is correct for you, and the "11 - Optional ..." compass folder you want. This will overwrite one file ("data\menus\main\hud_main_menu.xml") installed by your UI mod, so you may want to take a backup of the original.
If you use other UI mods than the 3 supported (BTMod, DarNified UI, DarkUId Darn) or vanilla HUD, or if you already have another mod that changes the hud_main_menu.xml file, and still want the compass, look in the "HUD Status Bars custom bar guide." for details.
