With the support of Hackel, mr_wiggles, and LiTTleDRAgo we now have a stable version of the new "XAS Hero Mini HUD!"

thought I'd share with our guests too!

*I'll continue to add more features to the script if it makes sense.



HERO MINI HUD 3.1

+ XP/VX (cross engined)
+ no graphics required
+ disable switch
+ configure two buttons to toggle display
+ Red HP heart containers
+ Blue Special bar
+ Green Experience bar
+ White Hero Name
+ Yellow Stamina bar (requires XAS)
+ Purple Charge bar (requires XAS)
+ reduced lag (or no lag at all)

*enjoy!

Was looking for this amazing kindda script long ago
the simple looking of the hp bar (and especialy near the char) make's it more action feel , and no graphics needed? , im out of words.....
this could be one of script ppl would be looking for, and the addition of turning it on and off is like bonus on christmas present
i know its work in progress , but my hp bar doesnt decrease like in your pict, is there script in XAS that has to be deleted first for it to work? thx for another awesome script

i'm using MOG - S Hud 1.0 for the most part but i might change my mind

@supercow - hey I'm glad that you enjoy it!

I'm going to continue to add more features such as SP, EXP, NAME, etc...

this should have no conflicts with any other scripts.
but if you run into any errors let me know.

works great with XAS mini Map
