Hi everyone!
I'm working on a little improvement for HUD Status Bars by TheNiceOne:

• Manipulate bars at runtime: dynamically create, manipulate and destroy a bar from a script.
• Support multiple ini: actually, if a mod needs to show some bars, you need to open "HUD Status Bars.ini", copy some lines from the mod's readme and maintain a loooong list of bars. With this improvement, the author just need to provide an ini with all bars for the mod. You just need to put this ini in a specific folder: DONE! When uninstalling, delete the ini: DONE! "HUD Status Bars.ini" will stay untouched.
• Add support to quests bars: they show your current active quest objective ("Go to Kvatch and find Martin", "Collect 10 Nirnroots: 3/10", "Close the Great Oblivion gate and save . Time left: 00:10:39", etc). Just define a file ini for a quest, containing the bars it needs. DONE! No additional esp required, no scripts, no further operations. HSBE will take care of EVERYTHING and doesn't need any master, apart from the original "HUD Status Bars.esp" (which has no master).
• Create all ini files for all Vanilla, SI and KOTN quests, so they will have Quest HUD elements for all quests. I may require some help to complete this point in a reasonable time...
• Create ini files for quest from other mods. Well, I'll leave this to other modders and to anyone with some time to spare to create some bars for some quests
• Eventually add some features/fields to HUD Status Bars...

Currently I'm typing a some lines of code and test if it can be done (that means: if HUD Status Bars allows this kind of manipulation to his bars).

If everything goes right, I'll open the "Quest HUD ini season". Even creating a single quest ini will grant you a seat in the Hall of Heroes (the credits section).

Else, if HUD Status Bars doesn't like to be "stressed", there will be no "Quest HUD" feature. So don't start creating ini without my signal "Begins!"

I already sent a message to TheNiceOne, asking to release this addon, as stated in the HUD Status Bars page.

I tried creating some ini for some quests: in less than an hour I was able to fully define 5 quests ini, so creating a quest require no more than ~10 minutes, except for LOOOOONG quests. This means that, with some help, we can rapidly define all quests ini!

In the meantime: what do you think about this idea/project? Any suggestion? Critique?

Of course, many people don't like the quest marker on the compass, because it ruin the game immersion, but this mod won't ruin any quest. It will simply print a short message, with the current quest state, example: "Collect 12 rumare scales. You have 5/12".
