This mod moves the HP bars in the Party Frame to the right of the portrait and orients them horizontally. Names and current/max HPs of all party members are also shown. Draggable/nondraggable versions included. (see screenshot)
The font used for both the Names and HPs is the same as the target frame font.
Update Oct 22 07 - fixed party bar being undraggable
Update Oct 11 07 - fixed crash issue with custom portraits in MotB
Update May 20 07 - small update for 1.05/1.06b
Update Dec 10 06 - death icon fixed
Known Issues
- Draggable version has a large blank area that cannot be clicked through, similar to other draggable partyframe mods.
- Very long names may not appear properly or at all.
- If you find any others, please let me know.

Works, if you use SlimGUI 2.79, go to your My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/ui/custom/slimgui folder and remove/backup the following 3 files: partybar, target_ememy, and target_object ...

Unfortunately I haven't been involved in NWN2 since v.1.12 and don't own SoZ :( If anyone is willing to take up this mod you are more than welcome to.

this needs to be updated and expanded for SoZ. I dont know if it works since i havent tried but a revisit to this with some renewed interest would be nice. _________________________ Baldur's Gate: The Sword Coast Chronicles

Is the target box (showing what you target) supposed to be like the one in the screenshot? Because for me it's still the old one. :(
The party one is working fine though.

Awesome! This is my favourite UI by far; if I only got to pick one it would have to be this one. :)

Excellent item. Delivers what's promised, and does it well. The displayed HP in numerals is definitely the most useful part.

Aweseome. Pretty fast fix, lol. Was just stoppin by to check on a fluke that you might have posted about a bug or something. Just checked it and works fab. Thank you very much. Extremely nice (all yer UI pieces) Uppin mine to a 10.
"In the zip file, there's supposed to be 2 party xml's, party_drag and party_nodrag. I only see a partybar.xml and a party nodrag xml. I assume the partybar.xml is the draggable version (as it says draggable=true in the xml). My problem is this: Can't drag it. It stays in the upper right corner and no matter where or how far away from the portrait I click, can't drag it. Where's the point that you can drag it at? Outside of that, I give it a 9. Def awesome to have."
Hm, I think Obsidian might have nullified the draggable flag in MotB or 1.10. In any case I just tested it and draggable is certainly not working anymore (I didn't use the draggable myself so I never noticed).
So unless someone happens to know how to fix this (in which case, tell me please :P), for now the only way to reposition the partyframe is by editing the "[partybar]" entries in "Documents\NWN2\ui\default\guisettings.ini" with Notepad.

This is extremely useful. It both conserves space and allows me to see the numeric hitpoint totals of my party, rather than a mysterious obscuring percentage bar like the default. It's great.

I am running nwn2 1.06 and this UI tweak doesn't seem to work. I've put the folder into MyDocs\NWN2\overrides. Is there something else I need to do?
Posted by Adamos at 2007-01-20 15:04:07 Voted 10.00 on 01/20/07
I was able to use the file prior to 1.04 Beta.
Is there any way to use the partybar any your transparent hotbars with 1.04 Beta?
This is one of the better additions, if I could only use it.

Much cleaner-looking and less obtrusive than the default party frames. Have combined this with EpikurCicero's Cleaned UI and Shoujo's Semi-Transparent UI for the ultimate 'clean' interface. Thanks.

And now to fix my score for the party bars *sighs*
Really wish these posts were editable....

Nice work again, Cyric.
Just a couple of niggles.
1) The background tranparency could be a bit darker.
2) on a 1024x768 display (the res I'm running at) this window is a little big and unwieldy.
Minor stuff really.
Btw Cyric, any chance of you ever releasing your inventory update that has been shown in some screen shots?

Nice work, Cyric!
Glad to see you did get the HP display to work after all! I absolutely love this party bar! One thing I would like to see changed though is the way the current party member is "highlighted". I liked the way Obs did it with the blue glowing outline. Any chance you could incorporate this. No biggy though. System works great as is.
