Is there a file i can simply rename or edit to make it not show health bars above actors? If possible is there a way so i can still see health bars over my own actors without seeing the enemy teams?

This might be something to include in future updates as it makes the game a lot more tactical and the ai less predictable.

As far as I know, the only way to do so is to go in each actor's code and change their CharHeight value to something ridiculously high. That is not recommended, although, as it causes weird issues with the AI and aiming.

Aren't there sprites for the health bar or something? Couldn't i just back those up and replace them with a blank picture?

Go to Base.rte\GUIs\Skins\Base and make a copy of fatfont.bmp and replace it with the one below. I removed a few icons from it and I am not sure what it affects besides the health and heart icon

Thank you very much. Time to give this a test.

Edit:

Ok so the bugs are as follows.

No gold counter
No countdown until a unit drops in
No score for how many of their units you have killed

You could do something hackish with glows.

Those Counters/scores all share the same spritesheet.

If you erased hearts/numbers, you erased them for pretty much the entire game.

Ah, I was sure something else would happen. Oh well I tried to help

do pink glows render over the gui too? Oo;;

So if they do we'd have to find a way to create pink glows above every actor? Won't this be hard to do and possibly mess up whenever another actor flies over the top where the health bar is?

for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
local glow = CreateMOPixel("glow","module");
glow.Pos = Vector(actor.Pos.X,actor.AboveHUDPos);
glow.Vel = actor.Vel;
MovableMan:AddParticle(glow);
end

How do these pink glows work anyways? They're supposed to mask out stuff like out of palette pink, right? I can't seem to use them properly.

But to contribute, glows can indeed render over the GUI. For example, my black glows can. The variable "Effect always shows" or whatever it is may have to do with it.
