does this mod work with teammates paperdoll being made into htal is what I'd be interested in

I had thought about just an option that allows you to arrange them however you want but not sure if that's possible with the options

Honestly, I would of just organise it so that head & CT would be centered, then all the left stuff going left from the middle (...LA, LRT, LT, Head, CT...), while all the right stuff going to the right (Head, CT, RT, RRT, RA...), like the paper doll was generally done.
Definitely would prefer keeping the rear sections enabled, although perhaps a toggle within Mod Options might be possible for those who don't like it?

The reason I keep rear sections separated is just because that's what MW4 had and IMO it makes more sense to keep them separate. That said I've been trying to figure out a better way to visually organize the bars better while still making the most of the space to reduce deadzones

Would it be possible to group LT/RLT, CT/RCT, and RT/RRT together, instead of the rear torsos being all the way to the right?

@Burstdragon323

Seemed to for me :)

would this work with YAML?

Preliminary testing proves positive on mechs that previously didn't use the display :)

Once more, thank you for your efforts ^_^

Ooo, alright!

I've just had a major move and only downtime to look forward to, I'll get to testing soon, thank you!

Alright, this should be good now to work with mechs added from DLC and mods without having them as direct dependencies. It isn't what I would call the cleanest but from my limited testing *should* be at least passive changes.

Oh, thank you for giving it a look :)

It likely replaced the paper doll blueprint completely. I might see if there is some way I can make that a configuration option

Been running an older one called "Simple HTAL" instead and it does it just fine. *shrug*

I can't support modded mechs, they would likely have to do what people do with the compatibility pack and pull in the blueprints from my mod to display the HTAL as it is bound per mech. For better or worse there isn't a way that I know of to default HTAL over the paper doll for mechs.

Running mods like the YAML family, and this works for the most part. Many mechs just don't use HTAL and I'm currently using this mod to force vonHUD to display an HTAL array... It's just not consisten with modded-in mechs, a lot of YACM mechs and otherwise are still paper dolls.

Do you have any plans to extend this to other mech mods (non-YAML, even)?

It might also be the lack of DLCs since this does make changes to mechs added with the DLC. I'm not sure how that all plays when you don't have any of them.

tried it with, without, and without any other mods, it still crashes the same

even got it on video

Kerensky, I think the issue you are running into is that this mod requires the MW5 compatibility pack now.

The clipping I think is just due to how they have everything organized in the HUD itself (which I don't think I touched), but I could look at fixing it since it bothers me as well.

starting up the game using this mod causes a crash:

LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 3146]
could not find SuperStruct MW5_Comp_Setting_C to create HTALSettings_C

additional info if needed: no DLCs, just base game and enhanced pips mod, nothing else added

It has a little clipping with vonHud: https://i.imgur.com/Rc4eZSN.png
Maybe you could add an option to resize/reposition it?

all's good. its just a personal issue and i wont hold it against you if you chose to keep things the way they currently are

I might look into some way to group things visually to better tell but honestly that might add to troubles than it fixes depending on how much space things take up. I'm also tempted to look at an MW2 version just to see which is the most clear.

i do want to use this mod for clarity's sake, but not being able to tell at a quick glance which bar represents what body part like i could with the paper doll unfortunately makes this not worth it for me.
i mean, im sure with time i will get used to which bar represents what body part at a glance, but it wouldnt be as easy or as quick as the first time i saw the paper doll. and knowing that at a glance is much more important to me than knowing exactly how badly a body part is damaged after a solid second of looking at the bars, probably in the heat of combat, as i tried to clear my thoughts and drown out the sound of autocannon fire smashing against my armor

Sorry, thought I saw stats for them as well in the screenshots somewhere.

? They are not shown, the only rear pieces that are shown are the sections that actually have rear armor (left, center, and right torso, ie RLT, RCT, RRT).

Minor thing but the rear arms and legs is something that doesn't need to be shown at least in the context of MW5's gameplay loop because they don't have rear armor in the mech lab.

Added a screenshot and gave a bit more info in the description as I imagine some might be expecting it to be more like MW2 or MW3

This sounds interesting, add a screenshot please.
