[Vadi UI Mod] perma tooltip + health as numbers

[[LC]Vadi]

Disabled as of 0.1.36, pending an S2 decision on this: "because some people felt it wasn't fair and we haven't made an "official ruling" yet on whether or not we want to make that [health/mana numbers] available".

Whats this mod about
This one makes the hero tooltip be permanent and displays their current/max health instead of their hero name.

Useful on all heroes, especially when playing Legionnaire.

This may be a dumb question since I'm fairly new to the Beta, but is HoN intended to have 3rd party UI mods like WoW does? It would be nice to be able to have mods to make the UI look how you want and rearrange things eventually.

Or are these more from someone reverse engineering the UI layout files?

[Mephizto]

Awesome.Didnt know HoN is modfriendly.

[KARTlK]

These are fine I think.

The mod is Free (LGPL) and feedback along with ideas is appreciated.

You don't get to do that. It's based upon a file not made by you.

[[LC]Vadi]

These are fine.

fixed the license thing until I figure it out, it's s2's property atm.

[mAKKEH]

If you need help filling in how to install on Mac, let me know.

[[LC]Vadi]

Yep, I could use the instructions as I don't use a mac.

[mAKKEH]

PM'ed.

[[LC]Vadi]

yep.

[[BOT]Naib]

no werky for linux

I put in: ~/.Heroes of Newerth/game

[[LC]Vadi]

If you'll be wanting to use that location, then extract the ui folder and place it like that. Otherwise the resources file goes into the original installation directory.

could someone post a screenshot of what this does?

is there any way to make it so it only shows hp? rather than the name and level as well? i would imagine team fights would get cluttered

I'd check the archive before being accusatory if I were you
