About this mod

HUD Replacer designed to replicate the one from FO76, this changes how the game HUD (and many other HUD mods) actually looks rather than just simply re-positions it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

V1.4
Spoiler:  
Show

-Added patch for ESP Explorer

-Added Bottlecap indicator


-Added Companion Status re-skin


-Added enemy level next to display name


-Added player level on XP meter alongside a level up image inspired by FO76


-Changed AP bar to be left oriented like in FO76



**PLEASE NOTE**  About the bottlecap indicator, enemy level and player level additions, they all require ESL files to be installed in your load order for them to work. This means uninstalling this mod with those additions could potentially cause issues in that save. These plugins are completely optional and the HUD mod will work normally if you decide not to install some or any of them.


Version 1.25:
Spoiler:  
Show

Spoiler:  
Show

Fixed almost all of the issues from version 1.0, also added the following:

1- Animated XP meter:



2- Animated RADs icon



3- Animated floating quest marker! :D


4- New optional main menu replacer for the HUD and sequence




What It Does:
Changes how the HUD sprites and fonts look to sort of replicate the one from Fallout 76, also contains a DEF_UI preset to re-position things to match the HUD in that game.

Why I Made It:
Well, basically one of the very few things that I actually liked about FO76 was it's HUD. I don't like that game. I like this game. So I made it for this game.

Requirements:
This mod requires HUDFramework by  registrator2000, and DEF_UI by valdacil and Neanka, because it alters the HUDMenu.swf from the compatibility patch of those two mods.


How To Install:
1- Download and install HUDFramework
2- Download DEF_UI and install it using a mod manager, make sure to select "DEF_HUD" option in the installer.
3- Download and install HUDFramework DEF_UI compatibility patch from the same page as HUDFramework
4- Download this mod and use a mod manager to pick your options
5- Bingo!

**PLEASE DON'T REPORT ANY ISSUES IF YOU DON'T HAVE DEF_HUD AND/OR HUDFRAMEWORK INSTALLED, THIS MOD IS DESIGNED AND TESTED TO ONLY WORK WITH THOSE MODS AND ANY OTHER CONFIGURATION IS NOT SUPPORTED**

How To Uninstall:
If you have any of the ESL plugins installed, please follow the steps below:
1-Open the console in-game and type stopquest _76HUD_
2-Wait for 10 seconds or so then save your game and quit.
3-Uninstall the mod using your mod manager.

Otherwise, just uninstall from the mod manager, or delete the files from data folder if you know which ones they are.
No harm in installing or uninstalling mid-save if you don't have any ESL plugins installed from this mod.

Compatibility:
Should be compatible with most mods, apart from anything that replaces HUDMenu.swf and/or any of the following: MainMenu.swf fonts_en.swf ButtonBarMenu.swf BSButtonHintBar.swf MessageBoxMenu.swf VATSMenu.swf PromptMenu.swf
There are some patches/restyles included in the installer, and I'll add more with the coming updates.

I might add this mod was built on version 1.10.130 of the game, any older or newer versions *might* have some issues, although not necessarily. It can and should run on older or newer versions as many users have reported.
Most updates don't do any changes to the aforementioned files, so no issues should arise.

Issues:
Nothing major as of now. 
The location/ quest name texts are not properly aligned to the center when they have short names ("Concord") for example; I looked everywhere to fix this but with no luck..

Before anyone asks:
Okay, so when I found out I can do stuff like this to the game's HUD I got all excited and wet my pants, however, doing this takes quite a bit of time and effort and is actually very very annoying to deal with a lot of the times.
So yeah, I would gladly cater to everyone's desires and make different HUD replacers of your favorite Hello Kitty or My Little Pony show, but I really wouldn't go through all the trouble to make many different replacers cause this is somewhat daunting.
If I were to make another one sometime in the future, it would most likely be one to replicate FONV's HUD, but don't hold me out on that please, thanks. 
Future plans / updates:
More refinement for this mod wherever it's possible.
I'm also thinking of doing a version inspired by New Vegas' HUD, but I don't really know when...
