Cartur's UI - HUD

A hand-drawn bronze HUD. Health, stamina, eitr and adrenaline bars in Norse knotwork frames, three food diamonds and the guardian power box. Arrange and scale every piece in game, then it stays put.

[size=4][b]A hand-drawn bronze HUD. Norse knotwork on the bars, diamond frames on the food, and every piece placed and sized by you.[/b][/size]

Client-side. No server install needed, works in multiplayer.

[size=4][b]What you get[/b][/size]

[list]
[][b]Health, stamina, eitr and adrenaline bars[/b] in a sliced bronze frame that keeps its ornaments crisp at any length. The knotwork fill is uncovered as the bar drains rather than squashed.
[
][b]Three food diamonds[/b] with the countdown on each. With Equipment and Quick Slots installed they show your quick slot items instead, and a slot holding something you are currently digesting still shows that food's timer.
[][b]The guardian power[/b] in its own frame, with the name and Ready/cooldown over the icon.
[
][b]Eitr and adrenaline share a row[/b] - whichever pool you actually have is the one drawn. Neither appears at all until you have one.
[/list]
Bars grow with your maximum, not just your current value: eat, and the bar itself gets longer; let the food run out and it shrinks back. Each bar reaches the same length at its own ceiling, so a 100-point adrenaline pool reads as full as a 325-point health pool.

[size=4][b]Arranging it[/b][/size]

Everything is movable. Turn on [b]editMode[/b] in the config - with Configuration Manager that is a tick box in game, or edit the config file in r2modman or a text editor and it applies immediately without a restart.

[list]
[][b]drag[/b] - move a piece
[
][b]wheel[/b] - size it: bar height, or overall scale on the food and power group
[][b]shift + wheel[/b] - a bar's length
[
][b]ctrl + wheel[/b] - how far the frame's ornaments stand off the fill
[*][b]ctrl + drag[/b] - nudge the frame against the fill
[/list]
Player input is held while edit mode is on, so a drag does not swing your axe. Turn it off when you are done; the layout saves either way and survives restarts.

The three food diamonds and the power box move together as one group. The four bars are individual, so you can stack them how you like.

[size=4][b]Config[/b][/size]

BepInEx/config/com.jekkle.valheim.carturuihud.cfg, written on first run. One [b]editMode[/b] switch and one line per piece, written as x,y,size,length,frameSize,frameX,frameY. Hand-editable if you want exact numbers - changes apply live.

[size=4][b]Compatibility[/b][/size]

This mod takes over the vanilla health, stamina, eitr and adrenaline bars outright - it skips the game's own update for each of them and draws them itself. [b]It will fight any other mod that replaces those bars[/b], including Auga and AugaLite. Pick one.

Everything else is left alone. It does not touch the inventory, the build menu, the map or the status effects, and mods that change those are unaffected.

Known good alongside: Equipment and Quick Slots, Epic Loot, BetterArchery, Jotunn.

[size=4][b]Part of a set[/b][/size]

This is the HUD. More of the interface is coming as separate mods, so you can take the parts you want.

[size=4][b]Installation[/b][/size]

Requires BepInEx. Unpack into your Valheim folder so the DLL lands in BepInEx/plugins, with its assets folder beside it.
