Block's Boss Bars

Block's Boss Bars is yet another mod about improving boss bars, simple as that. This particular mod adds in a new boss bar style inspired by the vanilla boss bar and Flashkirby's 'Yet Another Boss Health Bar' (YABHB) mod from tML 1.3. It also has plenty of config for customizing how the boss bar looks and/or behaves. Read on for more details:

New Boss Bar Style:
Don't like how small and simple the vanilla boss bar is? This mod's boss bar has you covered with a vanilla-faithful design with the following additions and improvements:
  • Support for simultaneously displaying bars for multiple bosses at once!
  • Customizable Size (From 50% to 200% of vanilla size, and the option for extra-wide bars)
  • Dynamic HP fill color that changes the lower health is
  • Shake and chip effects to make the boss bar a little more lively
  • A bar fill animation upon initially engaging a boss
  • Larger text display for HP. The boss's name and health percentage can also be displayed
  • Many different styles and appearances; pick your favorite look for the boss bars!

Configuration:
Block's Boss Bars has extensive customization options that allow you to fine tune the behavior and appearance of its boss bar:
  • Text display: Toggle the name and numerical HP display on the boss bar. There is also an option to add HP in % form.
  • Count optional boss parts: Ever wanted the boss bar to track Skeletron, Golem, and/or other bosses' optional parts? With, this mod, you can do that and more!
  • Appearance customization: In addition to many styles to choose from, you can also adjust the coloration of bars and their text displays.
  • Special FX: Bars have shake, chip, and fill animation effects that can be adjusted/toggled, too.
  • Boss bars for all: Mark NPCs to be tracked by the mod and have boss bars drawn for them! Modders can add more intricate support for their own bosses via. Mod.Call.
  • Miniboss Bars: NPCs can also be marked to have miniboss bars, which have a unique, smaller texture

Open Source
  • This mod is open-source under the GNU GPLv3 license. In short, you’re allowed to view and utilize code from the source if you’d like, but if you want to publish any work you did with it, that project will have to use the same license (GNU GPLv3). The mod's LICENSE file contains the full details of terms and conditions, etc.
  • You can access the source-code using tML's extract function (Found in-game on the mod's More Info page in your Mods List).

Final Notes:
  • Special thanks to Flashkirby, whose aforementioned 1.3 mod 'Yet Another Boss Health Bar' inspired this one! Also, some of the boss bar sprites (namely those of the YABHB-Style) are modified versions of sprites from the aforementioned mod
  • Enjoy! I hope this mod makes your boss fighting experience more convenient and fun, even if just a little!

Hey, can I add you, I have a question about mod collaboration
BlockCrusader  [author] 24 Oct, 2024 @ 6:56pm 
@JJ's Place, yeah, the boss bar style setting is (AFAIK) the only exception to that (i.e. other mod settings are typically kept in the mod's respective config), as it's a feature added by tML itself and not any individual mod (Though you need a mod with its own boss bar style to use said feature, of course).
JJ's Place 24 Oct, 2024 @ 5:42pm 
Ok i figured it out. Maybe adding a line in the description that tell new player how to use the mod. I've never seen a mod setting in the actual Tmodlader settings menu.
JJ's Place 24 Oct, 2024 @ 5:14pm 
Yes i know i've messed around with all the configs. I have the style on Master Platinum, i have chipping and custom fill color on and all the extra bar for boss parts like skele and skele prime on no change. Just the vanilla bar.
BlockCrusader  [author] 24 Oct, 2024 @ 6:24am 
@JJ's Place, the mod's custom bar is implemented as a 'boss bar style'. By default tML sets the active style to vanilla's, and you must change it to the one you want in Terraria's settings. IIRC the setting can be found in the Interface section of Terraria's settings menu (The one that can be accessed while the inventory is open), click on it to cycle through available styles and set it to the mod you want (In this case 'Block's Boss Bars'). Once set, your choice should persist until you disable the mod to which the boss bar style belongs.

I tired deleting and the reinstalling, the unsubscribing and re subscribing in the workshop and nothing changed the mod just seems to not be working.
JJ's Place 23 Oct, 2024 @ 10:25pm 
So i have this mod enabled but none of the overhauled effects are being applied. Its like the mod isn't even installed. Should i delete it and then reinstall it?

alright I hope you can make it work
BlockCrusader  [author] 2 Oct, 2024 @ 8:35am 
@ClayWarTheOne, I should be able to modify the draw color of the bar (I.e. make it draw in something other than White, which draws the texture's pure, original colors), but it might not look good. I'll try it out when I add fill customization and see how it goes.

I feel like many people would want to change the colours of both (Golden ornaments, purple bar, appealing colour combos like that) but idk if you can even implement that, something like colour filters in photoshop, just for the two components. Anyways thanks for this awesome mod!!!
