Apologies if someone has already posted this as a topic.
Is there any mod to the targeting UI that replaces the numerical read-out with an energy bar (0 - 100%)? I have a difficult time monitoring the value in the energy box. Im guessing the value read-out is preferable to most people to lessen the clutter on the targeting screen. I prefer a graphical indicator in this case. Thanks

The already is an energy bar readout ... it's on the left-hand monitor, just below your power readout. It's the bar labeled WPN.

Yes, there is one down in one of the 3 consoles. Does anybody know of a mod that has one close to the target reticle? Also preferably it would go from 100 Green shaded to yellow to red at 0 instead of a middle-out bar that is in the console. Thanks

There isn't currently such an option. To keep things fairly tight and a little more precise (and indeed a little less cluttered), a quick 3 digit digital gauge is used. The only bar graph option is on the status display.

Re: Energy bar vs value
Thank you. Is this possible to do in a mod or would it require a code change ?

You should be able to use the savedata.txt and savedatasettings.txt files to create such a mod.

No mod is available to display a bar where none is available internally. Yes, such an addition would require code changes, the addition of another limb index to the gunsight structure, linked texture index for coloring, and placement/scaling parameters setup for it. So it's not just something that could be toggled on or off. You could retrieve the data using the savedatasettings option that Marvin point out, then overlay a bar.icattanach wrote:Thank you.
