Text HUD API

Allows modders to add text to the players screen. This mod must be loaded along side any other mod that uses it.

Graphics update note: Post-Processing causes all HUD API text to be dark and blurry unless it uses the PostPP blendtype.

Common Issue: If the mod is not working delete Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\758597413 to force TextHUDAPI to redownload the latest version from steam.

'Reference issue detected (circular reference or wrong order)' in the log does not indicate a problem. All it means is that another mod already loaded this mod and it is skipping loading this mod a second (or third) time. Please look further in your log for a crash message that may indicate the real problem if your save is not loading.

Features:
Add Text HUD elements
Add Text to world
Add Text attached to Entities.
Add Billboards to HUD elements
Adds an interactable mod menu.
Fonts are fully modifable.


There is now a new API class that interfaces with this mod you can get it here:

[SteamLibrary folder]\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\758597413\Data\Scripts\HUDApi\HudAPIv2.cs

In a Session Component init the mod using the Init Method

TextAPI = new HudAPIv2(onRegisteredCallback);

Note: onRegisteredCallback method will be called when the API registers to this mod you can then declare all HUD/Menu elements in that method.

Note before using any class make sure Heartbeat is true. If you try to call a constructor while Heartbeat is false it will lead to a crash. Using the Callback method can help you avoid this issue.

Editing any class property will update it instantly, there is no longer any network messaging involved with the mod. This also means you have to now worry about thread safety.

Modders:


You can change the color of the text with the <color=colorname> tag. No closing tag is required. You can use multiple colors in the same message.
<color=r,g,b> and <color=r,g,b,a> also supported. r = red [0-255] b = blue [0-255] g = green [0-255] a = alpha [0-255]
<i> tag for italic text. end the tag with </i> ex. <i>this is italic text</i>
<reset> will reset the formatting of the text back to the default. <color=red>a<i>b<reset>c

The Heartbeat property lets you know if the class has received a heartbeat, so you can be confident the player has the mod installed. If they do not then you can revert to any previous messaging scheme you had.
