Damage Numbers: The Ultimate Combat Feedback Mod

Take your combat experience in 7 Days to Die to the next level with Damage Numbers, a comprehensive and highly customizable combat feedback system. This mod is designed to give you a deep and immediate understanding of your damage output, from the precise impact of a single bullet to the total devastation of your automated defenses.
This isn’t just a simple number display; it’s a powerful analytical tool that visualizes your combat effectiveness in real-time through two distinct systems: a detailed Static HUD for tracking overall performance, and dynamic Floating Text for instant, per-hit feedback.
Key Features:
1. Advanced Floating Damage Numbers
Experience combat like never before with numbers that pop directly from the point of impact on an enemy’s body.
Precise Positioning: Numbers spawn exactly where you hit—a shot to the leg appears on the leg, a headshot on the head.
Dynamic Sizing: The size of the damage number scales with the amount of damage dealt. Small hits are unobtrusive, while massive blows have a satisfying visual impact. Numbers also get larger as you get farther away, ensuring readability at any range.
Thematic Animations & Colors: Different damage types have unique animations and colors for instant recognition:
White: Standard body shots.
Yellow: Critical hits and all headshots.
Blue: Damage from all robotic and trap sources (turrets, dart traps, blade traps, electric fences).
Red (Dripping): Bleed damage drips down from the enemy, like blood.
Orange (Wispy): Fire damage wisps away like smoke.
Fiery Red (Explosive Pop): Explosive damage bursts on screen for a moment.
Radial Burst (Shotgun): Shotgun pellets burst inwards towards the impact point.
Zoom-In (Bows/Crossbows): Arrow and bolt impacts “zoom” in for a satisfying thud.
2. Detailed Static HUD
For the data-driven survivor, the static HUD provides a powerful summary of your combat encounters. It intelligently groups damage events and presents them in a clean, readable format.
Real-time DPS Calculator: Track your Damage Per Second over the course of a fight.
Intelligent Damage Grouping: The mod automatically detects and separates damage from different sources:
Player Direct Fire: Groups hits from your currently held weapon, showing a breakdown of damage numbers, total hits, and criticals.
Automated Defenses: All damage from your robotic turrets and traps is consolidated into a single, easy-to-read line.
Molotov Cocktails: Tracks damage from your current and previous Molotov throw, complete with tick-by-tick breakdowns.
Explosives & Projectiles: Groups damage from sources like grenades, rockets, and pipe bombs.
Kill & Overkill Tracking: The HUD displays a skull icon (☠) on a killing blow and even calculates the total overkill damage dealt, perfect for optimizing your gear and skills.
Intelligent Breakdown Grouping: Automatically condenses damage readouts with more than 5 unique numbers. It smartly groups the hits into an averaged value (≈) to keep the display clean and readable during intense fights.

3. Complete In-Game Customization
Fine-tune every aspect of the mod to your exact preference using the deep and intuitive in-game options menu (accessible from the ESC menu).
Full HUD Control: Toggle the visibility of every single element on the static HUD, from labels and totals to damage breakdowns and kill icons.
Floating Text Control: Independently toggle the visibility of each damage type (Default, Bleed, Fire, etc.) and enable or disable their unique custom animations.
Positioning & Scaling: Nudge the static HUD pixel-by-pixel or reset it to the default position. Independently scale the size of the static HUD and the floating text to perfectly fit your screen resolution and playstyle.
Behavioral Tweaks: Adjust the “multi-hit window” to control how long the mod groups damage from a single weapon, and toggle verbose logging for deep debugging.
4. Full Localization Support
Damage Numbers is built for a global audience with full localization support for 13 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
