Any chance of making this compatible with melee kills as well?

@Ghost

Mine has much better performance and more optimized

nice edit. honestly, i can't decide which i like more now :(

I am looking for the same thing as _jjk007.
(this + ACE Heath Hud)

fantastic mod, really effective rework. Is it possible to include a lightweight version of the blood + heartrate from Health_Status as well/will it be touched on in the future?

Updates?

@AKA Watchmen Wake Up on YT

No I scrapped those due to separation of concerns. This mod focuses on the hit marker.

@Reticuli

Sweet

Ok, I extracted them, and they're just some generic impact sounds rather than anything from Wheel of Fortune or something.

Curious about persistent Xs or crossbones on all the KIA units.

Is the auto heal fixed?

yes the ones that appear on screen not the map

I mean, do you know what the sounds are? Like the sound of a bullet hitting, a moan of a person, or like a beep? I don't think I noticed anything in particular.

@games4zak

Do you mean unit icons that appear on the map, or the screen (3d)
I have a script for you that doesnt lag your game. The way the mod did unit icons, it was spawning them on every frame very inefficiently which is not necessary.

@Reticuli

Not sure what you mean by that, but you can always extract the file from the original to get its hit market sounds.

@games4zak The advanced cheat menu unit icons has the same issue. I'm not sure about TPW's futuristic HUD, though.

@thehungryhippo BTW, you have any idea what the hit and kill sounds are on the original?

Do you know how to make the unit icons check less cpu intensive or is that something thats not possible due to engine limitations or just arma spaghetti in general?

I just discovered there's a self interaction for ACE to bring up a small transparent medical HUD temporarily on the upper left. If it was persistent and maybe smaller, that would be the ticket.

@Reticuli I think you may be right about that one

That's the least important part of OG KC, but I wonder if it could just be pulled from the stats from the map that personal stats mod uses instead of counting them separately.

@Reticuli

My apologies, sorry for the confusion, no I dont think your total kills are being tracked anymore.

I meant the old one has trouble registering when you have multiple kills within a short timespan (Like a grenade killing 5 people at once), mine registers this properly.

It may have also had some inefficient loops too, im not sure because i havent worked on this in a long time

It looks like you do actually have the stuff on the bottom telling name (not sure about rank) of the kill, even if the emblems aren't there. The fancy graphics were overkill, anyway, no pun intended. I don't think I noticed that before.

Where are totals tallied if you do it correctly now? I don't see it on upper right of the screen between compass and normal hud.

Other than the colors being slightly off and the text getting jumbled up on the health display with ACE when you changed units, was there anything particularly messed up about the health display's coding or does it particularly lower fps?

Went back over like 4 or 5 health hud mods to check them again, and they do indeed suck compared to KC. Would be a shame to have to lose that just to improve fps if in fact it doesn't affect fps much. Might not have BPM, has the wrong colors, and gets jumbled up, but the accurate depiction of ACE medical's body from the 'H' screen and the blood amount alone are gold.

@Reticuli,

No the score totals properly now, the old mod would not.

You would kill a vehicle with 5 people, and it would show you a random number.

I can make another version for you with the other features added back in if you want

You mean the compiling of the kills was broken? Ok. I can live without the score compiling. I have personal stats mod and then stats under map. However, there are no other mods that have as good a working health HUD with ACE as KC. The colors were a bit off (I believe yellow instead of blue, for instance), missing blood pressure, and the text on it was a little jumbled up when you jumped into another unit in your squad, but otherwise much better than the others. You know of any good health HUDs for ACE?

@Reticuli

If you want those features, you can use other mods. Separation of concerns - no need for bloat in a mod which only promises kill markers.

The way the original was calling the method that triggered the display was completely broken if multiple kills were made.

Too bad it's missing the health info on the upper left, compiled score on the upper right, and seems to, at times, override my optional hiding of the green IDs for units floating above the enemy's heads that I don't like and now are back. Does seem a little less fps hit, though, but how much of that is the lack of stuff? The old KC health display in particular could be improved for better compatibility with ACE's colors. I'd also like to see both a heart stopped/KIA/skull thing and a temperature of the body or time since heart stopped.

Cool mod. Loved the old one too.

The only thing im curious if you can do anything to fix was the huge drop in fps when you had the friendly markers enabled where youd be able to see teammates up to a distance that you set but it killed fps

@games4zak

Yes, check the settings in CBA for this option

Are you able to make the hit markers toggle at all?

omg, u are a god! Thank you !!

YES Thank you!

now this is a triumph thank you for this fix, an award for u! i really liked the og mod but it impacted performance severely and the enemy killed message would usually be very late after the kill i like this setup much more-better setup, no impact on performance and much more functional overall nice work bud
