A compact, structured sidebar mod for Cataclysm DDA.
🎉 The sidebar is now part of the main game (experimental version)! 🎉
- Structure! And separators for more clarity
- Compact block for environment and location
- Compact, multi-column block for all health and body-related stats
- Compact bodygraph widget, also showing mouth and eyes status
- Compact widget containing overmap and compass, near the minimap. Everything at a glance for fast travel and driving!
- Configurable minimap size: 5x5, 7x7, 9x9
❗ No need to install the mod, as the sidebar is now in the main game. ❗

The mod replaces the "bodygraph"" widget in all other sidebars, by a more compact version. This is caused by a hard-coded source ID for the graph in CDDA. However, you gain the benefit of seeing HP of eyes and mouth, too.
