minetest HUD bars

HUD mod to display as bars and API for healt, armor, breath, hunger

Information

---

This mod changes the HUD of Minetest. It replaces the default health and breath symbols by horizontal colored bars with text showing the number (or more configured one).

Furthermore, it enables other mods to add their own custom bars to the HUD, this mod will place them accordingly.

Features

• This mod adds a mechanic for hunger, using "satiation" concept
• This mod adds information bar for armor status
• Eating an apple (from Minetest Game) increases your satiation by 2

Warning: Eating food will not directly increase your health anymore, as long as the food item is supported by this mod (see below).

Warning: ! Some foods may be poisoned. If you eat a poisoned item, you may still get a satiation boost, but for a brief period you lose health points because of food poisoning. However, food poisoning can never kill you.

Technical info

---

This mod its a simplification of hudbars+hbarmor+hbhunger for performance it provides extra checks for security an backguard compatibility on all minetest engines. TExture media was optimized for low end devices.

This fusioned hudbars 2.3.4.0 and hbarmor 1.0.1 with hbhunger 1.1.2 with aditional patches rejected by upstream that improves performance.

About armor support

This mod adds a simple HUD bar which displays the current damage of the player's armor (from the 3D Armor [3d_armor] mod) as a percentage (rounded).

100% armor means the armor is in perfect shape. 0% means the armor is almost destroyed or non-existant. Note that to reach 100%, the player must wear at least 4 or 6 different pieces of armor in perfect shape.

About hunger supoort

This mod adds a hunger buildin mechanic to the game. Players get a new attribute called “satiation”:

• A new player starts with 20 satiation points out of 30
• Actions like digging, placing and walking cause exhaustion, which lower the satiation
• Every 800 seconds you lose 1 satiation point without doing anything
• At 1 or 0 satiation you will suffer damage and die in case you don't eat something
• If your satiation is 16 or higher, you will slowly regenerate health points
• Eating food will increase your satiation (Duh!)

All mods which add food through standard measures (minetest.item_eat) are already supported automatically. Poisoned food needs special support.

Statbar mode

If you use the statbar mode of the HUD Bars mod, these things are important to know: As with all mods using HUD Bars, the bread statbar symbols represent the rough percentage out of 30 satiation points, in steps of 5%, so the symbols give you an estimate of your satiation. This is different from the hunger mod by BlockMen.

Warning Keep in mind if running a server with this mod, that the custom position should be displayed correctly on every screen size.

Current version

The current version is 2.3.5 its a plus fork from original cos current minetest most close mods developers are not so open to support already working servers.

It works for Minetest 0.4.16+/5.X+ or later.
