Description
X3 Damage Indicators (X3_dmg)
A lightweight, pixel-perfect damage indicator mod for Luanti (formerly Minetest) that displays dynamic, floating damage numbers whenever players or entities take damage.
Features
Pixel-Perfect Alignment: Renders damage numbers using individual 32x32 pixel digit textures merged into a dynamic 1:1 canvas to eliminate stretching, warping, or billboard separation.
Color-Coded Damage: Automatically colors damage numbers based on the amount of damage dealt:
Green: Light damage (< 10)
Yellow: Moderate damage (10 - 29)
Orange: High damage (30 - 99)
Red: Critical damage (100 - 999)
Purple: Massive damage (1000+)
Smooth Animation: Features natural float-up mechanics with gentle gravity, slight horizontal variance, and custom glowing effects (glow = 14).
Entity & Player Support: Seamlessly hooks into both player health changes (register_on_player_hpchange) and mob punch handlers (registered_entities).
Zero Dependencies: Runs out of the box on any game or subgame without requiring third-party libraries.

Release Notes - v1.0.0
What's New
Pixel-Perfect Particle Rendering: Implemented dynamic square canvas composite textures ([combine) to ensure damage digits maintain their native 1:1 aspect ratio without stretching, warping, or squeezing.
Dynamic Color Coding: Added automatic hex colorization for floating numbers based on the damage value dealt:
Green: < 10 HP
Yellow: 10 - 29 HP
Orange: 30 - 99 HP
Red: 100 - 999 HP
Purple: 1000+ HP
Universal Damage Hooks: Full support for both player health reductions (minetest.register_on_player_hpchange) and mob/entity damage via custom punch overrides (minetest.registered_entities).
Smooth Floating Physics: Numbers float upward with slight randomized horizontal velocity, gentle gravity decay, 2-second expiration time, and full emission glow (glow = 14).
Zero-Dependency Mod Structure: Fully self-contained mod configured for Luanti/Minetest 5.0.0+ across any subgame or game mode.
