Any way to get a hit point bar over my character?

[MikeSol]

I know I can move the main bar but is there some kind of hit point overlay or something I can turn on instead?

Menu > Options > Window (last tab) > Reticle (right under User Interface) > Player Health Bars > click until it says Show Always.

That option is a godsend for me. Thank you Luminara!

Good answer.

 

There's also a more complete way to control the way the game shows both self, other-player and foe HUD info. Although most of these features are buried in the menu above, it's a bit overwhelming and can be hard to switch around on the fly. Using /setoption can be quicker, especially with a few binds or macros to make the switching easy. You can even set some alternatives the menus don't offer.

 

The complete page from the Guide is attached for those who want to tinker with it. CoX-Technical-Guide-v3-10p34.pdf

 

The basic usage is /setoption optionname value, where value is a constructed binary number that sets options by bit. Give it a shot.
