This is a collection of mods to the health bars that appears above enemies.

• No Health Bar: Removes the health bar entirely, for a little uncertainty in your life.
• Vague Health Bar: Changes the health bar to a System Shock-style general status readout.
• Vague Heart Bar: Changes the health bar to 8-bit style hearts.
• Vegan Health Bar: Supercharges your adventure with a general malaise.
• Minimal Health Bar: Changes the health bar to a thin solid-colored line.
• Emoji Health Bar: Changes the health bar to smiley faces.

It's not possible to remove the number on the health indicator (at least, not without removing all other on-screen text).

I actually think the vague health bar thingy would be cool to have for the player it self.. but well if it aint possible then thats just how it is..

The Heart one is giving me Zelda vibes. I also like the emoji one.

Dark just renders a percentage of the width of the health bar bitmap equivalent to the AI's current HP / max HP. At certain percent thresholds it swaps out the bitmap for a second and third variant so it can change color from yellow to red as health drops. It's nothing like the Thief system where each health shield directly represents a hit point.

The trick to doing non-bar type health indicators is that each successive health bar bitmap is exponentially wider. For example in the Vague Health Bar mod, it displays "Critical" at low health without being visibly cropped on the right because that bitmap is 1024 pixels wide, but it's entirely transparent except for the text on the left. So even at 10% health, the left ~100 pixels will still be there. Sure, if you managed to whack a Rumbler down to exactly 1 HP you'd probably see it get cropped a bit, but for the most part it works.
