Updated to v1.4
this mod edits the health bars of non-player creeps (neutrals,lane creeps, etc)

-increases the width of creep health bar
-increases the height if the unit is below 40% hp
-disables the name frame when you mouse over a certain creep (only works for archer, warlock, sapling, imp, heavy ballista, and catapult)

No offense, but I dislike this. Bigger health bars means more confusion in big fights, and it makes it harder to see the health bars of creeps when a whole bunch of them are together.

fat health bars seems weird after playing with thin ones for so long. so for now, the fatter it gets, the more you want it dead.

[Nefrite]

can it be made with button to switch from normal mode to this and back?
coz this mod really needed in startgame and not so important in late (teamfights)

he's right, do it :)

[kevs926]

should i revert it to normal width too? or only the height?

[KlemenP]

just make a three way toggle bigger normal shrunken i guess

[Sucker`]

is somebody able to explain me, how i can change the healthbarsize on my own in the code? i want to make them bigger in height and width, and im not interested in that 40%-stuff, they should always be pretty big.

i already tested something but its not working as i wish ^^


btw. is somebdy working on this:
'Future Plans:
-options panel for setting hp threshold and sizes of bars'

that would solve my problem, too

any way for this to be done for heroes aswell?

[Sucker`]

ty kevs926, the part about the 'h' helped me enough, now i got some huge ass bars ^^
just i like it was in dota

[kevs926]

the hero bars are already big enough

[Creep666]

i have question concerning these red lines of code in your mod:


<editfile name="ui/alt_info.interface">
<find><![CDATA[SetVisible(!StringEmpty(param))]]></find>
<replace><![CDATA[If(StringEquals(param,'Sapling') or StringEquals(param,'Warlock') or StringEquals(param,'Imp') or StringEquals(param,'Archer') or StringEquals(param,'Heavy Ballista') or StringEquals(param,'Catapult'), SetVisible(false), SetVisible(!StringEmpty(param)))]]></replace>
<find><![CDATA["5h"]]></find>
<replace><![CDATA["6.5h"]]></replace>
<find><![CDATA[1.3h]]></find>
<replace><![CDATA[5h]]></replace>what is that value used for? it's not the bar width nor the height.
I tried 20h to check it out but couldn't notice any difference ingame.

[kevs926]

that was the parent panel of the black BG and the hp panel

this being my first mod, i thought i need to make the parent panel bigger than all the child panels im going to put in. That was totally unnecessary.

BTW, b4 May i wish i can finish the options for this (including the LHA options for Ring of Teacher Aura, backstab, vindi orb, etc)

im just too lazy to continue it.

[Creep666]

thanks, i'll just delete that line then.

i'm looking foward to future updates (Health bars and LHA improvements aswell)

Please put an update for the new patch!

I love this mod. I can't stand the small creep bars.

[kevs926]

updated - hope it works

[sCoUt_OnLy]

[jaylove]

Hey kevs926 (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/member.php?u=54861):

Im trying to work with my own mod, but I started checking your code out since it seams you are already tweaking the Creeps healthbars. This is what I want to accomplish. Basically, If Im playing Legion, I want all the Hellborne creeps healthbars to be red from full to empty, I dont want them to start green and start changing to into red as their health decrease. Why do I want to do this? cause It would help me to visualize creeps a bit better. So there you have it, Id like enemies creeps to have red health bars, and allies green health-bars, I looked @ your code, and it seems it could be quite straight forward if you know what you are doing, I just don't have enough knowledge with XML.

In your code, you search for these strings.....


//----------------------------------------------------------------
Legion-------> 'Sapling''Archer''Heavy Ballista'
Hellborne---->'Warlock''Imp''Catapult'

So the code would have to be something like this...

all_Creeps_Health_Bars_Color = "Green";

If(myFaction = Legion){
search for the following strings ('Warlock''Imp''Catapult')
Change their Health-bar Color to RED}
Else {
search for the following strings ('Sapling''Archer''Heavy Ballista')
Change their Health-bar Color to RED}

//----------------------------------------------------------------

Thats basically the main idea, any hints or help you can give me I'd highly appreciate it. If I get this running for creeps, I'll try to implement the same thing for buildings and towers.

Thanks in advance for the time.

[kevs926]

there are 2 main elements in the interface

the health/mana bars and the name/level frame

first, you have to create a new element:
a new redhealth bar/mana bar that is only visible for the enemy team and has a red health bar

you make the new panel with attributes:
watch="AltInfo2Player"
ontrigger=""SetVisible(StringEquals(param, enemyteam));" where enemyteam is a variable which can be "Legion" or "Hellbourne" depending on the enemy team
and then insert the redhealth bar/mana bar code as a child panel(sub panel)

for more info on Panel, see the resources subforum thread: Styling Syntax

Could you perhaps upload it somewhere else as well?
I can't download and HoN_ModMan can't update because if I go to your download link, it says:

You can just reload your UI. Much faster than restarting the entire game.
CTRL+F8 >> reloadinterfaces >> enter

k, thx for the advice

Love it. Hate it when i can't see the creeps health bar behind the other ones.
