Borderlands 3 Custom Health bars

This mod tries to replicate the behavior of multiple random healthbars introduced in BL3.
Check the collection for addons an textures: Borderlands 3 Custom Healthbars Collection.

With this mod every enemy and group of enemies will offer a new challenge!
With enemies that have more health and different types each time, you better get a new arsenal going.

• Health is not visible while full.
  
• Every NPC or Monster can spawn with 1 or more health bars, the chance and combination of healthbars are configurable via patch files.
  
• By default there are basic combinations for NPCs and Monsters and custom ones for some specific types.
  
• Every healthbar multiplies the max health of the enemy, ie: 2 bars = 2x health, 3 bars = 3x health.
  
• Every type (color) of healthbar has different elemental resistances. ( https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Elemental_damage#Borderlands_3 )
  
• Bosses have customized health combinations which are also configurable, displays differently than normal via a large bar that depletes from both sides.
  
• Added custom "Punchy" functionality, craft a "Punchy Health Type Changer" at a spinning wheel, then use it on punchy to changeit's health type and test your weapons.
  
• It shows every damage an entity takes, ie: Every pellet from a shotgun, instead of calculating the sum of damage.

• Toggle if the generated bars are random or selected via config.
  
• Limit the amount of health bars that an entity can have.
  
• Health multiplier, multiplies max health by certain amount. (0.1x - 100x)
  
• Difficulty: Dictates how severe are elemental resistances / weaknesses.
  
• Toggle if the bosses use random health bars too.
  
• Only visual, only enables red-healthbars for display, no element resistances or different types. (Health is still multiplied by selected value)
  
• Display numbers, hides damage numbers.

• Almost every aspect can be customized via patches:
  • Elemental resistances.
    
  • Probability and combinations.
    
  • Specific NPC or monster health types.
    
  • New health types.
    
  • Excludable entities.

This mod was based on "Supper's Follower Healthbars" and "NPC Shields & Bars".

• Mostly anything, bosses in some mods may not get the "Boss Style" healthbar, or a healthbar at all, but it shouldn't break anything.
  
• Enemy Health Bar No More!. (Recommended)
  
• Stardust Core. (for in-game options)
  
• Shellguard Expansion. (Needs patch: BL3 Healthbars Shellguard Addon )
  
• United Systems Expansion.
  
• Elithian Races.
  
• Removed Damage Numbers, Hides player damage numbers and only displays them for other entities, use with the in-game option to hide all damage numbers.

These have custom health types for some bosses.
• Extended Story.
  
• Return to Earth Overhauled.
  
• Pandora's Box | Titans.
  
• Arcana.

• Supper's Follower Healthbars. (This mod is a replacement)
  
• NPC Shields & Bars. (This mod is a replacement, can be used together though, only use if you use a mod that has that as a requirement)
  
• Supper's Combat Overhaul.
  
• Supper's NPC Improvements. (partial/maybe)
  
• Feast of Fire and Smoke. (Fixed?)

This mod replaces "monster.lua", "monster_primary.lua" and "spacemonster_primary.lua", there is a way to add dynamic compatibility, the Monster Core : Collection.


I tried making it easily uninstallable, it shouldn't cause the death of any NPCs / Monsters, but some may retain their elemental resistances given before uninstalling (Crew members won't probably keep them).

• There is no hard-coded limit to how many health bars can be given to a single entity, it can get more as long as the game doesn't crash or the max health amount doesn't overflow.
