fpsHUD Mod [updated 1.2.0v]

Hi everyone,

I designed a simple HUD mod based on my experience playing 7DTD on pvp servers. The vanilla HUD lacked things that I felt would be useful for people playing in groups or fighting other players. This is not by any means a professional mod, its my first mod ever, but I do plan on keeping it up-to-date. This is completely open-sourced.  

Features

  • Compact party system that shows the stamina of all members.
  • Navigation system that shows degrees in increments of 15 degrees for better callouts.
  • Larger tool belt blocks for increased ease of use.
  • Simple design to provide you with information without clutter. (day, time, elevation, temperature and core temperature)
  • Simple KDZ info at a glance (player kills, deaths, zombies killed)
  • Clean XP bar with level and amount of XP left for next level.
  • Food and Water bar under Health and Stamina bar.
  • Simplified Chat Box with darker background.
  • Server-side friendly - does not require players to download & install this mod on their end.


How to Install
Download the repository (master Branch) and move into your Mods folder. That's it.

Repository: https://github.com/lloan/7DTD-fpsHUD 

Direct download: https://github.com/lloan/7DTD-fpsHUD/archive/master.zip

Utilized Sirillion's HUD modlet as a base to learn from as it modifies a lot of the HUD, thanks to them. Also received help from the modding community via Discord. Thanks to GanTheGrey for pointing me in the right direction with controllers - helped keep xp bar up-to-date. Thanks to Chaos.Blend for directing me to uTinyRipper so that I could modify the texture for the navigation into more of a fortnite navigation. If I'm missing anyone, just send me a direct message on Discord. 

Here is a quick snapshot of what the HUD mod looks like.

A really good looking mod!👍
Though there are some issues with lagging when looting, getting in and/or out of containers.

Hi Eternal,

Are you running your own server? Send me the server specs - this mod would not give you the lag you're talking about as it doesn't interfere with Loot containers. I was on a server that was using this before and had someone thinking (not the owner) that this mod was causing the issue, but the boy had a potato computer. I know lag is frustrating, but its not always the mods/server - the game is in alpha. In order to provide some help, what makes you think this is causing the lag on your server? Take a look at the resource logs and see what is going on. More than happy to help.

Calling Animator.GotoState on Synchronize layer on yellow color

I take it back. The lag was something on my end I think. Because it works well now. :)

Just in case, make sure to update to the latest version. I simplified the code a bit, hopefully that helps if it was causing issues at all.

I see a lot of servers have that issue with inventory, but they don't have my HUD mod installed. That console information you're getting isn't something you would get from my HUD mod though, odd. If you have more mods, try adding them one by one until you find the culprit. However, it can very well be an issue with the game itself. As we all know, they JUST added the inventory sorting mechanism, wonder if that has anything to do with it.

In windows.xml if you move the code below from "windowCompass" to "HUDLeftStatBars" and reposition the hud elements again, that will get rid of the 'Calling Animator.GotoState on Synchronize layer' error that pops up everytime someone opens a container and seems to create a lot of lag in multiplayer games.

Great mod! however with the experimental 19.1 they introduced a ten slot tool belt so you might want to do an update for 19.1

 
@nightshade I'll probably update it this week and include @sneakpeak's suggestion as well for performance. I'll probably have 2 versions as some servers are not moving to A19.1 just yet. Thanks a ton!

I guess that must be why my friends and I had freezes for a second after closing almost any menu in multiplayer the other day. I tried a quick and dirty way of fixing it by changing it like you outlined in the meantime but I messed up the offsets when I tried repositioning 😛 I’ll just wait for an official update lol.

Anyway - super clean looking HUD, very readable, decently large for high res monitors. I really like this!

 
For stable A19 version, not A19.1 experimental version.

Modlet updated. 

Code: 
1.2.0 - 9.23.20
[COLOR=#cc7832]- [/COLOR]Fix issue with lag caused after opening containers
