Vanguard Combat Interface Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the HUD editor?
Press Right Shift in-game to open the live editor screen. From there you can click and drag any HUD module to reposition it, or right-click modules to customize their appearance.
Can I use this mod on multiplayer servers?
Yes, the mod works entirely on your client side, so you can join any multiplayer server without needing server-side setup or permission.
What's the difference between easy, medium, and hard combo difficulty?
The difficulty setting changes how quickly your combo counter climbs and how aggressively it responds to your hits, with harder difficulties triggering more intense visual effects like screen shakes at high combo counts.
How do I see my exact reach distance?
Enable the Reach module in the HUD editor, and it will display your hit distance in blocks with decimal precision; you can also toggle a player-only filter to track reach only against other players.
Can I save different HUD layouts for different servers?
Yes, the mod automatically remembers distinct layouts for every server you visit, and you can also manually save custom setups into named presets for quick switching.
How do I share my HUD layout with friends?
Right-click empty space in the editor to access the presets menu, then export your layout as a text share code that other players can import using the same menu.
Why is my armor durability not showing red alerts?
Make sure the Armor Status module is enabled in your editor and that you've toggled on the hit alert feature in that module's settings; the red flashing only appears when your armor takes damage.
Can I customize the colors of individual HUD modules?
Yes, right-click any module in the editor to open its customization menu where you can adjust colors, text labels, scale, and other appearance settings independently.
Does this mod affect my FPS?
The mod is designed to be lightweight and runs client-side only, so performance impact is minimal; you can also use the Performance module to monitor your current FPS and ping without opening the debug screen.
How do I add custom keys to the Keystrokes display?
Open the Keystrokes module settings in the editor and use the keystrokes builder to add any key you want; you can resize individual buttons and choose from ripple or squish press animations.
