Blue Archive Style HUD

27/02/2024: I am starting to regret making this.

Description

This replaces your survivor HUD to a 2021 Blue Archive Style HUD, it's not entirely exact, but it should be similar. I tried my best to replicate most things with the original game.

Features:

• The mana (I think?) mechanic of the game is changed to a health mechanic:

  1. For local player, the mana bar acts as a health bar, and the mana cost acts as a health counter.

  2. For teammate, the icon will get darken circularly just like the game. And just like the local player, the mana cost acts as a health counter too.

• Removed the 4th teammate panel because it won't fit.

• Includes custom progress bar, survival timer, and scavenge UIs.

• Working timer on the top right of the screen.

• Urik's custom crosshair support included (Check here for available custom crosshairs)

• tomaz's CRHB support included (Check here for available radial health bars)

• And more that I cannot explicitly explain....

I have a lot of ideas to make it better, but the limitations and disadvantages turn me off :(, you can ask me in the comments why didn't I do this and that.

Limitations:

- When you're incapped, the radial health bar will only decrement once health reaches below 100.

- When you die, there is slight bright parts of the icon, that's because the game internally sets the player health to 1 when you die for whatever reason.

• If your teammates get punched off the map by a Tank and fall to their death, it may show some parts of the darken parts of the icon.

• When your teammates are waiting to be rescued, the circular health bar will show half darken part of their health.

• The item icons will not glow when you switch to them.

• And more...

Notes:

• This HUD is not guaranteed to work properly with a Steam Deck. L4D2 has specific parameters that are applied to certain UI elements when it detects that it's being played on a Steam Deck, since I do not own a Steam Deck, I am unable to check whether it looks okay or not.

• This HUD was made in a 1920x1080 resolution, so certain elements may not look accurate at lower resolutions.

• If you have survivor skins installed, the game might say that there are conflicts with this HUD, but everything should function as normal (some survivor skins have different named portrait texture files, which causes the survivor portrait to default to the original L4D2 one when incapped, not much I can do about it.)

If you have conflicting survivor skins installed, make sure you subscribe to this HUD first and unsubscribe the survivor skins, then restart the game and resubscribe to the survivor skins you use and don't bother with the conflict. If you don't follow this, the default incapacitation panel will show instead of the survivor icon when you are incapacitated!

Enjoy, and report any bugs and issues if you find any, and anyone is welcome to make edits for it.

And for anyone that experiences white texture error, I still have no idea what's causing it.

If you're looking for a more enchanced experience, here's another add-on that I would recommend that replace if not all, most of the game's UIs
