awesome. can you also make it so full hp creeps dont have health bars visible? thanks in advance ( ask bangers tho cuz it is his creation )

[xHomicide]

No, it pretty clearly says "expands on the style of" not "I used code from".

Put the links in the first post, and then this is fine provided that neither of the original authors has an issue with it.

Ok, and I sent a message to Mertsch.

[TaggsvampisH]

I really like the custom color that you can set on creeps and as told above it only miss the function to hide the bars when creeps got full HP

[Villainelle]

Very nice. Does this also have the fading options of Alt Info Revised? (Fade out bars of higher-health creeps.)

[Korvboll]

This seems nice. Tried Alt Info Revised once and thought it was pretty crappy. Hard to see when you're supposed to attack creeps. I run Last Hit Assist with Bigger Creep Healthbars.

Also, what scoreboard are you using?

Edit: Just tried it out and it's great. Got one complaint though: when using "Last Hit Bar" you're able to change the color, but when using "Last Hit Line" it seems to be black without any option to change it. Black line = hard to see. Hard to see = bad.
Also last hit isn't accurate on catapults/ballistas, but it's always been like that afaik, so I doubt that is your fault.

[TaggsvampisH]

Also, what scoreboard are you using?



Seems like Cleaner Scorboard

[KorokFanNr1]

So, with some modifications I got its design pretty similar to last hit assist's one (with bigger bars tho). Is there any way for the last hit line to stay static? I can code it myself as long as I get some guidance.

Im going to change it so that the line stays static when I get around to updating it.

[`SunTzu]

what does it mean for the last hit bar to "stay static"

[OoGa`ChaKa]

Static= constantly there, aka not always drawn on screen every 10 seconds


Like when the creeps run the bar gives a blur its redrawing it on your screen, otherwise itd look more crisp

[KorokFanNr1]

It means this:

http://i48.tinypic.com/160d2cz.jpg

Btw, I did some coding modifications, like the small pixel white dots and changing the little black bar to 70% opacity, but the "shadowed" color separation can be done ingame by setting the value to 0 0 0 0.7 (black with a 70% alpha). You can use both #000000 and 0 0 0 color systems in order to change them in the mod CP.

[Lex]

This mod is great my Cleaner nameplates/LHA broke so i needed one and Alt Info Revised just looked horrible. Thanks.

this looks awesome! it would be crucial if there was a line in between the white lat hit tics that changed color when the creeps health was below it. i can see that helping a lot.

[`SunTzu]

can you also integrate cleaner battles interface that removes the black area behind the creeps hp? thanks in advance

You can. Just drop the alpha on the border.

Updated v3.0

- new color selector panel added that allows colors to be easily changed for most elements
- ticks added
- last hit line and ticks are now static
- option to hide health bars at full health
- health bar gradient is now calculated based on three customizable colors (low,mid, and full hp colors)
- button added to instantly update bars without manually reloading the interface

[`SunTzu]

3.0 is WINSOUP!

[OoGa`ChaKa]

Add auto updating for next version?

[Amios]

Would be cool, if you grand a slider to change alphavalue for lha.

[KorokFanNr1]

Now the only improvement I could imagine to this is giving the option for certain conditions. Like for example, when the HP surpasses the lha bar you could change the colors/border for better visual help.

Visual representation:

http://i47.tinypic.com/294h1g7.jpg

Good job man, way better than the original LHA.

[`SunTzu]

how about adding a tic for half hp so we can know when to start denying the creep?

also.. it would be cool if you could have an option to make another tic based on your min attack dmg after the last hit one, for things like double hitting to get the creep kill.

[`nickerz]

how do i install this, im so lost, i just want to drag and apply :(

something like this to make the health bars get bigger when creeps get low on health

hey bro nxt update can you make the width go past just 10? make it go to 15 or even 20!

i have found that more width = more precision soooo

MOAR PLZ!

[`SunTzu]

any updates you are workin on? :D

[xHomicide]

Nope, not unless there is a way to bring one health bar in front of another, something I have wanted to implement for a while.

[`SunTzu]

could you add a bit more width to the creep bars ( from 10 to 15 would be plenty )
nxt update ?

this would be greatly appreciated :D

[dani]

I would love it if the awesome mod makers can stop implementing hacks-like mods like the last hit indicator... Styling health bars, sure no problem, well done. But include the last hit indicator? Why take skill away from the game I don't get it. Proving a concept fine, but do it for yourself and don't release it. I can't wait for the day S2 bans these unfair modifications once and for all. They need a whitelist mechanism imo, this one will not be on it :)

They are going to ban them in the future. For now, don't bother posting here. No one cares about your incoherent ranting.

[KorokFanNr1]

You won't be a pro last hiter/denier with lh mods...

Nobody is implying that, but for people who are getting used to her's autoattack power on the different stages of a game, knowing how those 70 dmg are represented into a creep's HP bar is usefull.

Last hit assists won't teach you to time those attacks well, something required to face decent players and imho the most vital part in last hitting a creep, yeah, it might help when freefarming, but it won't make you cut attack animations to confuse your enemy into trying to deny, it won't make you know how many hits you need to do on a ranged creep when he's under tower's fire, so I don't see why people are so concerned about mods like these.

I use it, no shame, I do use it for guidance, I don't know the autoattack's starting power of most of the heroes because I haven't been playing for long nor I have the time to practice, I haven't studied the forumlas so I can create a mental representation of how much of a bar I could take with X damage, but this is like understanding what enemy heroes do, it's certainly not skill but experience, why are people against cutting off time gaps?

The only thing the last hit assist part will help you with is to get an idea of the scale of the HP bar or when you hit level 20+ with rampage you'll notice that the last hit mark isn't on the edge anymore.

90% of the game, the last hit mark is gonna be at the very edge of the it's that stupidly obvious.

[Techies]

The only improvement I think of to make this mod even better is a couple of presets. After that I would like to see it implemented in the game by default...it makes the ui so much cleaner and overall better to look at.

[Techies]

After playing around with it a little I've settled for this, I wouldn't want to change anything, it's perfect (for me anyways).
PS. That's a lvl 25 nymph

[`SunTzu]

does anyone know how to make the width longer than 10? i dont think homicide plans on updating this and i'd really like to see longer hp bars XD

[KorokFanNr1]

It's probably changed by opening the honmod file and modifying the width label in ui/creepbarsoptions.package

Or in creepbars.package, the <!-- Health and Mana Bar --> formula which I cba to try and understand it :P

If you have a slight idea about modifying those try it yourself, remember to backup it beforehand tho.

can you update ur mod with an option to make the bars shrink from left to right ( instead of right to left as they are now ) so they dont get overlapped as much ( like bangers mod )

orr.. is it possible to make the lower HP creeps HP bars appear on top of the others?

[C`]

Nice mod.

Alphacolors could be tweaked somewhat for "nicer" hp bars :)

[Windburn]

can you update ur mod with an option to make the bars shrink from left to right ( instead of right to left as they are now ) so they dont get overlapped as much ( like bangers mod )

This would have to be my #1 suggestion too.

I love using CCB for the already unobtrusive alpha options (incidentally, I don't even use the LH bars on them, just the bars themselves are gorgeous enough to warrant being used). But I'd really love to see it being enhanced by right-aligned creep bars, it would make overlapping almost a non-issue.

The only other thing I could think of, would be an option for friend/foe health bar colors, so that we could change the color of ally health bars to separate them when there's a mix of creep units.

Love all your mods xHomicide, seem to use them all too, so thanks!

[xHomicide]

was having some issues in my last game pertaining to catapults. i was maliken with damage sword on if that helps.

Last hit mods don't work with catapults.

Basically, last hit mods can distinguish between ranged and melee creeps because ranged creeps have mana.

There is no way to tell the difference between a melee creep and a catapult (without hovering/selecting it), thus, catapults show the last hit indicators of melee creeps.

General rule, last hit catapults when their HP is 'half' of the last hit bar.

am i the only one experiencing huge performance problems with this mod? i really like your mod, but it drops my fps on the lane from 80 to 50 (not to mention the fps in clashs).
I dont use the lasthitindicator, just the bigger bars and some transparency.

€: my hardware (4gb ddr 2 ram, 9800 GT, intel core 2 duo 8400E)

€2: the version 3.2 of this mod is less performance eating, my fps on the lane go down to 65 - 70 (much better than 50)

That is a huge drop, I think I only see about 5fps or so difference (which is largely negligible). That said, I'm in a similar boat where I don't use the last hit indicators, but I love the rest of this mod, particularly the new appearance features.

There's no actual way to stop the mod from processing the last hit indicators currently, without digging into the files-- even if you have the bar off it will still be processing in the background.

Would it be difficult xHomicide, to have an option toggling whether last hit is even used in the mod or not? That'd be great as it would clear some unused overhead, but I don't think it'll automagically free up 20 fps for you Sucker.

[xHomicide]

I spent a while trying to improve performance. Sadly, I was mostly unsuccessfully. The biggest performance issue in the latest version seems to be caused by needing to know the 'team' of the creeps. I could remove this, but then I would need to remove the new team colored frames on each creep.

[Sucker`]

i tried to read through the code and delete the lasthit indicator of the 3.2 to make it cost less performance, but your code is pretty detailed and im not into all that stuff that much, so i give up on it.

i would be really thankful if you could make a version without lasthitindicator, just the bigger bars and the transparency.

but if it's to much work for you just let it as it is now.

Ah, that's interesting.

I used to use Bang Focus Health for this, which had the friend/foe thing going, but I much prefer the custom creepbar look. Without meaning to tread on any toes (since I really have no clue what I'm talking about) are you going about it in the same way that Bangerz does? I honestly can't remember if I had similar fps drop with that mod, honestly (since I never checked it side-by-side), but I don't think I did.

I'm in the situation where I really love the team colors (and would be sad to see them go), but don't use the last hit indicators at all. Would somehow removing the last hit processing (by digging in the files) help performance somewhat?

[Xinlitik]

Cool mod, but it absolutely killed my game. With it activated, FPS dropped from 30-60 to 10-20, making it pretty much unplayable. Dunno if it's my comp or what... =/

[Rusian]

ok so i copy the entire custom creep bars stuff to ''mods'' folder and it doesnt work cuz the mod manager cant see the custom creep bars mod ok?

[Rap1d]

I also noticed a huge fps drop in latest version (i first thought it was last patch S2 fault) If it does come from these team colored creep bars, i'd be happy if you could remove the feature.
Since then i'll go back to 3.2, mod was already perfect anyway :D

Yes, I recommend anyone that can't handle the performance hits of the latest version simply stay with v3.2.

[Windburn]

Heh, I tried to be crafty and remove all mention of last hit (and related code) in the files. I've messed around with lua a little before, but obviously I wasn't crafty enough!

Would it be terribly difficult to create a version without the last hit xHomicide, or have it as a toggleable option (that stops the calculation from processing)? Would be very much obliged.

[xHomicide]

Not likely.

This might be a noobish question, but how do I style it? How do I get to the menu where you can change the bars? I works for me with HoN mod but that's the standard bar, I would like to change it, but I don't know where I find the menu which is shown in the first post.

go to game settings, choose mods and find Custom Creep Bars, there you can change colors, width and etc...

can somebody tell me what to change or make an 3.2-version, because 3.3 is a huge performance problem for me.

Thankyou so much, for days none of the originals have been working for me. Just been getting errors.

But this file works fine. Thankyou so much!

plz update its not working can't see any health bars when i activate creepbars

plz update its not working can't see any health bars when i activate creepbars

I have the same problem as this guy.

[TT1mba]

the fix is working for me tho

[Mitsuru]

I guess I should try reinstalling HoN

Also, do the creep bars work in practice mode?

[SHJordan]

It doesn't work for me... not at all... invisible creeplife... someone please fix it?

[befiglonia]

the fix from Sutechara works for me, but is there any working version that still shows the exp range indicator next to the creeps ( the lil purple diamond ) ?

[MaxGhost]

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2251907/CreepBars.honmod

Fixed it. It was an issue with the way the mod.xml was scripted, I don't think whoever did the version I had knew how modman searches (atleast for the Java version) with the find command.

I'll look into adding the xp range indicator.

[Kenpachi1337]

mind helping me out? it isnt working for me.
i have modman / movable frames (dummie) / alt info revised / mod option framework (dummie) / improved frizzle KD TSR / barduiPP
AND i have no more hero HP / mana bars and no more creep HP / mana bars... :/

[MaxGhost]

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2251907/CreepBars_2.honmod

Second iteration of my fix, but this time, I added the exp thingy into it. It has a fixed size, and it's always to the left of the health bar of creeps. It shifts along with the bar width, but not with the height. It might look a little off with some of your options, but atleast it's there. I'm giving this as-is.

[Typhus`]

No, it's definitely not. I doublechecked it. Stop using Notausgang's modman and use Shirkit's java modman. It works better and is cross-platform.

its a 3.2 version (less performance eating)

its working for me at least..

[Kebbes]

I dont know if u guys talking about this but i used to love this mod but now i cant see the health bar on myself or the creeps... WOOTA!?

u guys prob talking about this or its just me and im to lazy to read all the comments so thats the reason im asking is it only me or...?

go go english.

Anyways no thats not what we are talking about, make sure you reapply the mod in hon mod manager then try again.

[MaxGhost]

K well I don't know what you guys are doing, but it works perfectly fine for me and the java mod manager. Easy way to fix it: apply the mod, then go check the alt_info.interface in your resources999.s2z, and make sure the comments (i.e. <!-- and -->) are in the right spot. If not, send me your alt_info.interface and ui/CreepBars.package from resources999.s2z and I'll take a look at it.

[Pootybottom]

Is it possible to use this to make HP bars of enemy units an entirely different color, like say, red, so it's easier to tell units apart?

[MaxGhost]

Not the way the mod is coded currently. You could change it yourself if you wanted to take a shot at it. Shouldn't be too hard.

[Nuggi]

So who got a working version?

[Kebbes]

go go english.

Anyways no thats not what we are talking about, make sure you reapply the mod in hon mod manager then try again.

:/ know i write bad english....
but still when I use this mod all the hp bars are gone, well atleast in pratice mode. maby it works at regular mm Games?

[MarkyX]

Tried it. Everyone's bars is gone.

[poldex]

does not work I can not see frames.

[Naith]

use the java modman, it works o_O..

[poldex]

We still do not see frames with HP mana etc

[MaxGhost]

If you guys don't post your alt_info.interface and ui/CreepBars.package, I can't help you.

[shalmon]

Even though the java mod manager was acting horribly buggy, it did make the creep bars work.

[poldex]

I walked this mod but after the last update to 2.0.0 it stopped working.
I tried to turn the java but I suspend this program
I reinstalled the game and nothing has changed

[MaxGhost]

Seriously... if you're having issues with the java modman, take them up in the java modman thread and give your logs so they can fix the bugs. I don't know why you're just expecting programs to work when they're clearly in testing phases. I'm encouraging you use it so it can finally replace the outdated .NET modman.

[Dicemaster]

alt_info.interface:
http://pastebin.com/0PDVA7qx

creepbars:
http://pastebin.com/py0p6HTd

@max: because ppl want to play and not testing betas.
i couldnt get any mod to work on the java modman and i posted all logs and stuff in their thread.
if the java modmanager still has so many bugs it wont get many ppl to use it.
if jm becomes more reliable there will be more users....

[poldex]

I do not know too much on this where I insert the codes are what I sent you? ?

[sLinKy]

broken for me also

I have no idea how you did it, but it works with the old Mod Manager by Notausgang and doesn't break all the healthbars anymore :) thanks alot!
I just wonder if the XP indicators are behind the health bars only for me? ofc I tried to disable all other mods, but still they are behind and a little hard to see depending on the alpha value :(

works with the win32 version of the mod manager but still doesn't display the EXP indicators...so essentially this is the same version that Sutechara (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/member.php?u=611952) fixed up 13 days ago, gj and high five.

[MaxGhost]

Like I said, I just hardcoded the xp indicators, so it probably won't work with different resolutions. I run the game at 1920x1080, so it's more on the left for me. Smaller resolutions will make it show up more to the right.

[Dicemaster]

thank u very much max. i appreciate ur work!

Obviously... the creator of the mod didn't update it.

[NiGHTsC]

He's still here, just busy on his own life, I guess.

One request, higher priority bar will stay on top.
health bar could sometimes being overlapped, so I'm asking for a priority system that'll have lowest bar stay on the top of any other bar.
Priority based on the health percentage should works too, eg: when A's lower than 4%, have it always stay on top, but if B gets to 2%, it'll be on top instead, vice versa...


Thank you.

causing 2 errors, misaligned xp indicator.
and, when left click creep it behaves as if left click+drag to highlight multiple unit box appears. Any time you left click on creeps this comes up. Makes it hard to left click to target creep and see remaining hp for last hitting. Since when I left click it sticks that drag box and does not target the creep.

[MrMcCoy]

Well. i unninstalled Alt Revised and Last Hit Indicator.. And i was running just CCB 3.3 but i cant see their hp bars. i can just see their hp by clicking the target.
Any idea why it happens? i tried change options. change colos.... reload interfaces at console screen :(. should i post my mod manager list picture?

--------------
Well. im not home now, so i cant test it. but isnt the " ' " key, shared unit control? kinda courier. ws bear etc?

@Nezu: read up. I hardcoded the xp indicator, it won't be aligned properly. I fixed it for myself, if you don't like it, fix it for yourself.

Is it supposed to keep turning into a .zip file? and if so how do i convert it to a .honmod file, wont let me simply rename.

[sp0olage]

To change a file type through renaming you need to change a folder option.

-open up a folder
-click Tools > Folder Options
-Go to the View tab
-In the advance settings box locate "Hide extensions for known file types"
-Un-tick that.

Files should now show with the file type in their name.
for example a jpg image named "image" should now be shown as "image.jpg"

It works just fine. The only thing is that the xp indicator will be offset on your screen, not normally placed. Other than that, it works perfectly fine.

I've also noticed that. Max, could you implement/fix that?

[MaxGhost]

I've also noticed that. Max, could you implement/fix that?

There's no way to know what kind of unit it is unless you hover over it. Not really possible. Only workaround is by showing both lines for all creeps. And I don't feel like coding that.

[Mordiggian]

There's no way to know what kind of unit it is unless you hover over it. Not really possible. Only workaround is by showing both lines for all creeps. And I don't feel like coding that.

To expand on what he said, if I remember right, it's coded to show one indicator for creeps with mana (ranged) and one for creeps without (melee, and, coincidentally, siege). As there's no other way for the mod to distinguish between creeps without having them selected, siege creeps just inherit the melee creep's bar.

[MaxGhost]

Yeah that. You could always use if statements to make it show something different for siege, but there's nothing that tells you if it is one or not. Would be nice.

[Le`Gend]

is anyone having a problem where there is no creep bar at all when you have this mod on? o.o?
