Change the colour of hunger/thirst indicators?

[Mardikas (DayZ) 0]

I'm fairly new to DayZ mod (so far, the experience has been great),

but, as I'm colourblind (red-green colourblind, the most common type), it's really hard for me to understand when I'm hungry and when I'm thirsty.

My suggestion then is to change these colours from going green to red to something else! For example: blue to red or white to black or anything else bright and high contrasted would be great!

Thanks for a great mod!

And also little bit off topic (not gonna make a different thread for that) - how often do I need to eat and drink and what symptoms appear if I don't !besides dying! (I searched for it, haven't found anything so far)

if you run around much .eat and drink every hour just like in real life

A colorblind option might be implementable, but the main thing you should be looking for is when it starts flashing anyway. Eating before that is just a waste of supplies with the current implementation of food and water usage.

Nice point guys, but at the moment, just wait until food/water indicators blink, that s when you need to eat/drink. Blood indicator shows a white cross when bleeding also.

Maybe Icons could popup when you are actually hungry/thirsty instead of staying on the screen.

This. Or have it so that they slowly fade in and finally flash when you are starving or dehydrated.

It's realistic that you have a progressive indicator of hunger and thirst. In the real world you don't just run around feeling fine for a few hours and then suddenly notice that you are starving and dehydrated.

I do agree that a different indicator system might be beneficial though... perhaps more of a meter (full to empty sort of thing) rather than a color change... or even text prompts that can be summoned with a status check or flash on screen as they change... "You are feeling a bit thirsty", etc.
