OVERVIEW
One day, while quite literally sitting high up in a rather small tree - which in hindsight isn't a great idea for something an adult person should be doing - I mused about how much I enjoyed the fast paced floating health bars from more Souls-like games. I realized that I'm not sure I'm a fan of like 20 floating damage numbers flying off of an enemy when you shoot them once with a shotgun - I think I might prefer just one number near the enemy that will show me how much damage I've done to them in total with that shot and over time. Upon this epiphany, I pondered more on how this could be done - and I even looked through Nexus to see if perhaps something like this had been done. Yet still, I couldn't really find anything that really captured what I wanted - so I figured I would try and build it myself. What you see here is the result of that attempt.
This mod adds much nicer looking healthbars and implements them in a bit more of a modern way compared to the base game health bars. The mod includes everything from different texture styles, toggleable passive markers for enemies that are aggro'd to you but that you aren't currently engaging, damage numbers (this is more of a damage over time number that will approximate something like a DPS), and even support for Fatigue Overhauls like this one from StealthDick, and more! See the example video below that will showcase the mod with the default style and with passive markers enabled (passive markers will be disabled by default in the packaged .ini)
This mod should be compatible with VUI+, VUIE, Base Vanilla HUD, HUD Editor, oHUD, and M.U.X. - Super Lite Edition (any MUX version that actually uses the MUX floating health bars will be incompatible with this - you will get both bars).

HEHMaxDistance = 2500
FatigueVerticalBuffer = 0
BarWidthMult = 1
BarXOffset = 0
BarYOffset = 0

DOTVerticalBuffer = 3
DOTSizeMult = 0.7
[Colors]
FatigueColorR = 255
FatigueColorG = 165

COMPATIBILITY
This mod should be compatible with VUI+, VUIE, Base Vanilla HUD, HUD Editor, oHUD, and M.U.X. - Super Lite Edition (any MUX version that actually uses the MUX floating health bars will be incompatible with this - you will get both bars). It is also important to note that I will be unable to provide support for DarnUI as I don't really use it and currently I don't have a list that uses it. Perhaps this will change in the future if Darn gets some TLC soon, but for now - this mod will likely be incompatible with Darn.
UPDATE - As of VERSION 1.1, This mod is now compatible with all M.U.X. versions

BUGS
This will almost certainly have at leas5t some bugs to iron out. If you come across any - please provide a report or leave a comment with as much detail as possible as to the nature of the bug you are experiencing and I will work to get a fix in place, if possible. This is just part and parcel of modding in general.

- DOTVerticalBuffer will set the Y-axis offset of the Damage Number text, input a positive number to shift downward and vice versa
- DOTSizeMult will set a multiplier to the size of the damage numbers, with 1 being 70% of base game font 3 size
DOTVerticalBuffer = 3
DOTSizeMult = 0.7
- DisableEaseIn will allow you to disable the slight movement and fade-in the prompts have when enemy health bars (or markers) show

[Colors]
- The enemy health bars and much of the UI elements that this mod adds will be colored according to your HUD Crime color
- However, the color for the fatigue bars as well as the chaser bars and damage over time numbers can be adjusted in this section - see below
- The FatigueColor Options below will allow you to set a custom color for the fatigue bars (if enabled)

REQUIREMENTS
- xNVSE
- JohnnyGuitarNVSE - Huge requirement. Without this plugin, I would be unable to position the floating prompts dynamically above objects
- SUP NVSE
- JIP NVSE - another huge requirement - all menu injection and manipulation for is handled by this plugin
- User Interface Organizer (UIO) - without this, much of the configuration within the .ini and even base text sizing will not work.
- VUI+ by Axonis from ModDB - provides some extra functionality to the message UI elements to give the text an outline (not needed, but will provide this benefit)
- VUIE by Axonis/Anro from ModDB - provides some extra functionality to the message UI elements to give the message icons an outline (not needed, but will provide this benefit)
