Show me pretty UI


Custom your UI. For example: new UI, displaying parameters of players and vehicles and adding many custom settings. (Btw, temporarily shows vehicles parameters when a player get out his vehicle and when player's cursor hover over the vehicle) I'll add integrations with magic mods later + new nice-looking icons to UI in the next updates. Almost 0 impact on UPS! Anyone can translate the mod on Crowdin. https://crowdin.com/project/factorio-mods-localization

Would it be possible to alter the look, including turning off biter health displays?

I don't know yet how to do it.
I can try to remove all health bars or their parts :D (3 health bars in the game: red, yellow, green)

The health bar looks strange after my changes.

I have an idea how to implement another biter health display without big lagging, probably. Do you really need this feature?

But the display is not instead of that.

The feature is mostly for screen shots.

I thought of it around these FFF

The little green health bars.

I'm investigating it again and found some ways for it...

So, you can't change it via mods because "core" is "protected" although you change it manually.

Like (from main folder game\data\core\prototypes\utility-sprites.lua):

health_bar_green_pip =
{
  filename = "__core__/graphics/health-bar-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7
},
health_bar_yellow_pip =
{
  filename = "__core__/graphics/health-bar-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7,
  x = 7
},
health_bar_red_pip =
{
  filename = "__core__/graphics/health-bar-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7,
  x = 14
},
ghost_bar_pip =
{
  filename = "__core__/graphics/health-bar-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7,
  x = 21
},
bar_gray_pip =
{
  filename = "__core__/graphics/health-bar-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7,
  x = 28
},
shield_bar_pip =
{
  filename = "__core__/graphics/health-bar-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7,
  x = 35
},

Into:

health_bar_green_pip =
{
  filename = "__core or your mod__/graphics/invisbile-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7
},
health_bar_yellow_pip =
{
  filename = "__core or your mod__/graphics/invisbile-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7,
  x = 7
},
health_bar_red_pip =
{
  filename = "__core or your mod__/graphics/invisbile-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7,
  x = 14
},
ghost_bar_pip =
{
  filename = "__core or your mod__/graphics/invisbile-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7,
  x = 21
},
bar_gray_pip =
{
  filename = "__core__/graphics/invisbile-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7,
  x = 28
},
shield_bar_pip =
{
  filename = "__core or your mod__/graphics/invisbile-pips.png",
  priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
  width = 7,
  height = 7,
  x = 35
},

And you need to create "invisbile-pips.png" as a fully transparent image.

I kind of figured out how to do this in mods
