[Mod Request] Special HP Circle for Abigail

[piratekingflcl]

Hello, Mod forum!

 

I only got into Don't Starve a short time ago and it has got me hooked worse than a Dota or LoL player! My favorite character so far has been Wendy, but my biggest problem with her is never knowing Abigail's exact HP so that I may more appropriately plan when and how to fight.

 

Sometimes she'll be close to death and I might dodge a hit out of habit and let her take it instead, only to lose her in the middle of an important time. Or I might overestimate her recovery abilities and engage in a fight that she couldn't handle without 100% HP.

 

I have been using a mod called StatusPlus that lets me see Abigail's HP, however I don't really like the other aspects of the mod. It replaces the status "circles" with bars instead, the mouse-over display is removed, and the original functionality of the sprites changing to match your status is also absent.

 

I was actually wondering if there was some way to give Abigail a special HP circle completely unique to her, but otherwise very similar to the already present status indicators, that would pop up when she was "alive" and disappear when she "died"? Sort of like Woodie's Log Meter or the wetness meter in Reign of Giants, but it would use an Abigail sprite in the center of the circle.

 

Also, I'm not sure how difficult it would be to make, but perhaps the Abigail sprite from the circle could change into Abigail's "sad" look when she's at low HP, to mimic Abigail. This way, I (and any other Wendy players) could remain more aware of Abigail's current status, and adjust my battle strategy accordingly.

 

If it's not possible to make such an indicator I understand, and I want to thank you all for your time anyway! ^_^

Use the mod "Tell me About Health" so every time you examine her , her exact hp will be shown.
