Wire's Enemy HUD

Valheim's own enemy health bars, finished. Weakness icons, a stagger bar, HP numbers and smarter visibility, drawn with the game's own art, fonts and colors, so it looks like it shipped with the game.

Weakness icons

• What an enemy is weak to, at the end of its star row. Resistances follow in faint gray.
• One shape and color per damage type, built like the level stars.
• Bosses show weaknesses left of their name and resistances to the right.
• Read from each creature's real damage modifiers, so modded creatures work too.

Stagger bar

• A stagger meter under the health bar, styled after your own.
• The frame flashes white when an enemy is staggered.
• While staggered, a yellow layer drains over the exact window your hits deal double damage.
• Hidden on enemies that can't be staggered. Synced in multiplayer.

Health bars

• Double-thickness bars for enemies and players, same width as vanilla.
• HP as current, current/max or percent, on enemies, bosses and players.
• Boss HP follows the health fill and never runs off the bar. A DPS counter sits under it.
• See-through backgrounds, like your own HUD bars.
• Friendly creatures get their own bar color.
• A white flash on the frame when a backstab or a hit on a staggered enemy lands.

Awareness and visibility

• The name color shows whether an enemy noticed you or is hunting you. Or use the vanilla icons if you want, or nothing, if you're a masochist.
• Hitting an enemy shows its bar for a few seconds, at any distance.
• Bars stay on screen: a troll's bar slides along the top edge instead of vanishing.
• Other players' nameplates fade until you aim at them.

Built on the vanilla HUD

• Nothing is replaced: the game's own bars, frames, fonts and stars are used and extended.
• Mods with their own star visuals keep them.
• Light on performance. You'd be surprised how little the game tells you about stagger haha.

Make it yours

• Presets: Author's Choice, or Vanilla as a clean starting point.
• Everything can be changed or turned off in the in-game Configuration Manager (I use the one by Shudnal).
• A hex color option for every color the HUD uses, vanilla ones included. Not recommended, but you can if you want to.

Disclaimer: the code is AI assisted since I barely know C#. Not fully AI nor human. No AI image generation was used.
