using Darnified UI with Coloured Enemy Health Bar

[Merneith]

Hi everyone! My first post and I should emphasize that I love the Darn UI. I can't bear to use the default UI in the game. Darnified UI is something Bethesda should include with their PC versions right out of the box.

That said, I was wondering if it was possible to find a way to use the Coloured Enemy Health mod with Darnified UI? I have crappy eyesight and I find the color sequencing  to be easier for me to process in the heat of combat than the basic dull gold.

I know DUI is using a nif for the Enemy Health arc. Coloured Enemy health uses a sequence of dds files to show the health arc going from green at full health to red at almost dead. I tried looking at the various xml's but couldn't find a place to refer to the sequence instead. Here's the link to that mod at Nexus, for reference:

Thanks in advance for any advice you might have for me!

AFAICT the mod replaces the default image sequence. The nif in DUI (at .5 scale) uses the same sequence I believe. This mod should in theory be compatible with DUI - have you actually tried using both mods?

Yes, thanks. I have tried them both. All I see is the default gold color.

Hm. The sequence is only in /Textures/Menus/ - I wonder if I need to copy them into Textures/Menus50/ too? I haven't tried that ...

Also there's a file in with the dds files that I'm not sure I recognize, called 000001.ifl - I don't know what an .ifl file is. Is that something I could edit?

Thanks again for taking the time for this!

No idea about the ifl file. If you use texture sizes below large, you need to replace the stuff in menus50 too.
