Using HUD Text Helpers for On-Screen Information Display
What HUD Text Helpers Provide
GTNHLib supplies clean, formatted text rendering tools for the heads-up display (HUD). These helpers allow other mods and addons to display information on your screen—such as machine status, inventory counts, or system alerts—without cluttering the interface or causing performance issues.
Where You'll See HUD Text
Dependent mods use GTNHLib's HUD system to show:
- Machine operational status and progress bars
- Energy or fluid levels in tanks
- Crafting queue information
- Alerts and notifications from automated systems
- Coordinate displays or navigation data
Customizing HUD Display
HUD text rendering is typically controlled by the mod displaying the information, not GTNHLib itself. Check the configuration files of mods using GTNHLib (like Hodgepodge) for HUD-related settings. You may be able to:
- Toggle specific HUD elements on or off
- Adjust text color, size, or position
- Set transparency levels
- Enable or disable notifications
If HUD text appears corrupted or overlapping, verify that GTNHLib is fully loaded and that your display resolution is supported by your mods.
