Description:
Build Support: Project Zomboid B42.17 + earlier B42 versions (SP/MP)

Modern Status is a flexible and customizable status HUD for Project Zomboid. It helps you read your character’s condition at a glance, customize how each indicator looks, and organize your HUD with individual indicators, matrix layouts, presets, sorting, filtering, bulk controls, tooltips, and supported mod integrations.

Required Mod / Load Order
  • NeatUI Framework is required.
  • Place NeatUI Framework above Modern Status in the mod load order.

Main Features
  • Circular indicators, horizontal bars, and vertical bars.
  • Color and monochrome icon modes.
  • Optional values, threshold markers, alarms, auto-hide, and direction inversion.
  • Drag-and-drop positioning, multi-drag, and configurable grid snapping.
  • Shared matrix layouts for compact grouped HUD setups.
  • Built-in presets, including circular, horizontal, vertical, and two-row layouts.
  • Sorting, filtering, bulk controls, and preset management.
  • Configurable tooltips with contextual information.
  • Optional vanilla moodle hiding, with compatibility for MoodlesInLua and Moodle Framework based moodles.

Visual Styles

Indicators can be moved individually, snapped to a grid, mixed freely between different styles, or linked into shared matrix layouts.

Quick Actions

Some indicators support double-click actions:

  • Drink for thirst.
  • Eat for hunger and nutrition.
  • Sit down for endurance.
  • Use vitamins, tea, or coffee for fatigue.
  • Use antidepressants, beta blockers, antibiotics, bandages, or painkillers when appropriate.

Customization and Management

Right-click any indicator to open its settings panel. The blue cog opens the Global Control Panel.

Modern Status also includes an All Indicators panel and matrix controls that let you:

  • Change style, visibility, locking, icon mode, values, thresholds, alarms, and auto-hide.
  • Configure tooltip content and opacity.
  • Filter and sort indicators.
  • Move indicators freely or snap them to a grid.
  • Apply changes to multiple indicators at once.
  • Add indicators to the matrix or release them from it.
  • Save, load, and delete presets.

Tooltips

Indicator tooltips can show:

  • Indicator name and current value.
  • Threshold information.
  • Associated moodle.
  • Moodle title and description where available.
  • Detailed contextual information for supported indicators.
  • Configurable tooltip opacity.

Modern Status uses vanilla translation keys where possible, including moodle names and descriptions when available.

Encumbrance / Carry Weight

The Encumbrance indicator can show your current load compared to your effective carry capacity.

Its tooltip can include:

  • Current load / max carry and load percentage.
  • HeavyLoad threshold levels.
  • Equipped containers, including gross weight, reduced weight, and weight reduction.
  • Other equipped items and other inventory weight.
  • Trait carry-capacity modifiers where available.
  • Max-carry reductions from hunger, thirst, sickness, bleeding, and injuries.

Noxious Smell / Noxious Exposure

Modern Status includes a noxious exposure indicator for corpse sickness and related environmental risks.

Where game data is available, the tooltip can show:

  • Nearby corpses and zombies.
  • Protection.
  • Sandbox impact level.
  • Weighted exposure sources.
  • Deadly Fumes state.

Alerts

When a status crosses its alert threshold, an alert animation is displayed. Alarms, thresholds, and auto-hide behavior can be configured independently.

Modern Status can also show or hide currently equipped items directly in the main inventory panel.

Fixing Common Issues

If indicators do not appear correctly, are misplaced, or end up outside the screen, delete the config files so the mod can rebuild them.

They are usually located here:

C:Users[your user name]ZomboidLua

Delete:

ModernStatusConfig.lua

If necessary, also delete:

ModernStatusPresets.lua
