This screenshot shows gauges and readouts added to Fallout: New Vegas’ heads-up-display by the user interface mod HUD Extended, available free for PC versions of the game on Nexus Mods. The graphical elements were drawn in Adobe Photoshop, and integrated into the game via Bethesda’s Garden of Eden Creation Kit (G.E.C.K. SDK) and hand edits to the game’s UI .xml files. The two dial gauges show a character’s irradiation level, and the current time. The collection of bar gauges below them compliment the game’s traditional health bar by showing information relevant to the game’s location-specific damage system, compactly showing a character’s helmet and armor condition (in bold) alongside individual limb health bars.
