Precision HUD

Precision HUD is my attempt at making a personal heads-up display that suited my needs and gameplay without overcomplicating things and providing too many optional features. Initially starting out as a remake of an old crosshair mod called Precision Sights by MindlessVictim, it expanded into a fully formed HUD that takes a lot of inspiration from the original launch version of the HUD for the game. The current HUD we have was added in one of the DLC updates never did it for me and upon seeing the images of the old HUD I decided it was time to replicate with some updated features. The goal was to make a clean, easy to read, and unobstructive HUD that gives back the player's field of view. This mod MUST override YAML.

- Remade crosshair reticle from the old Precision Sights mod that takes less space in the center screen.
- Crosshair can read out to 10,000 meters away (or likely any possible distance in the game), better friend/foe/neutral identification, and a popup for the reticle's target name has been restored from cut code.
- HUD elements have been moved more closely to the screen edges and all backgrounds are now hidden to clear out the center screen for better field of view.
- Minimap has been moved to the top left corner of the screen. Throttle, jump jet, and heat gauges are moved next to the player's paperdoll just like in the launch HUD.
- Compass now uses correct headers and direction markings. Degree heading text added as well.
- Torso rotation meter has been moved from under the crosshair and is now attached underneath the crosshair.
- Comms Popup and Objective Panel now respect the mech's power state and respond to ECM-type interference.
- Mech target popups will now show its current heat level. Vehicle and turret target popups will now show its current health.
- Airstrike indicator is now right above the player's paperdoll (or Coyote's tactical menu element).
- Mod option to hide portraits from the Comms Popup.
- Mech paperdolls only show the rear torsos on the rear paperdoll now.
- Lancemate and objective text now tightly encircle the minimap.
- An MW4-style HUD flickering effect will occur when the player's mech approaches overheating (thanks to Merlock). Can be disabled via mod options.
- Integrated lancemate paperdolls (thanks to Hesto2) can be activated via mod options. Recommended these remain disabled for co-op users.
- Added pop-up warnings for weapons that require lock-on to fire and weapon jams.
- Changed the BAP/ECM circle around the player map indicator.
- Added retroactive adjustments to the weapon panel headers if YARW is active.
- Added mod option to manually set the position of the full-size battle grid.

- Crosshair replacers are currently incompatible due to recent updates made in the Crosshair.

- The Weapon List tends to jump around a bit depending on how many weapons are loaded into it. Working on finding out a way to have it only push upwards as more weapons are added.
- Battlegrid might not be centered if you're not using a 4:3/16:9 resolution scale display.

- Merlock for allowing me to integrate his code for the flicker HUD overheat effect and general guidance with figuring out how to make the HUD the way I wanted it.
- Hesto2 for providing me Lancemate Paperdolls' source for integration.
- MindlessVictim for the original Precision Sights mod which propelled me into making this.
