Quick-install guide :
1. Download "CurvyHud_v1.1a.zip" from the link above.
2. Unzip the archive in ESO addons folder (delete the previous CurvyHud folder if you're updating)
3. Launch the game. Log in, check that "CurvyHud" is enabled for your character, then enter the game and enjoy
If the HUD does not appear, it may be because the textures didn't load (this can happen if you install the addon while the game is running...no problem with an update). In this case, restart the game and it should load properly.
What it does
This add-on is for those who like having a HUD with vertical and curved bars instead of the default player and target unit frames.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so I invite you to look on the screenshots what CurvyHud looks like.
Current Features
- All attributes bars can be placed in two containers left or right of the center of the screen. You can choose the order, bar spacing, the stacking style (aligned or 'stairway' style),color of the bars and borders.
- Buff display : damage shield and regen/degen are displayed just like they are in vanilla.
- Each bar come with a label which can display the values of the related attribute in a customizable format, font and color. Labels can be moved.
- Target nameplate is now displayed in a movable, customizable container. You can choose which icon to display, the font and font size, and choose to color the name and/or level based on reaction or difficulty
- In-game settings menu so you can customize a lot of things, and drag'n'drop support to move the elements of the HUD (you can also manually set the coordinates of each elements, relative to the center of the screen)
- Configuration manager to save different configurations, shared by all your characters.
- French localization
Incoming features

Want to participate ?
- Reporting : as usual, if you find any bug, please report them to me, I'll fix them right away.
- German translation: if anyone is interested in doing that, just take a look at 'Loc_EN.lua' in the 'Loc' folder. Everything that needs translation is in between quotes, so feel free to make a file and send it to me.
- Texturing : as I already said, I'm not a very good graphic artist. That means making good looking textures is not only difficult, but also extremely time-consuming. If you want to contribute with your own maginficent textures I'll be happy to officially includes them ! Just send me a private message and we'll find a way. Just remember, for now it's not a priority, but as time passes I think more/better textures would be nice.
Great many thanks to
- Kith : for the work put on LibDragWin, which allowed the drag'n'drop of the elements of the HUD in early versions. I don't use it anymore but it proved to be very helpful in doing it my way later on.
- Seerah : for the work put on LibMediaProvider, LibAddonMenu and LibStub, which are epic for addon development
- SinusPi, Errc : for the work put on Zgoo which is a gift by the divines themselves.
