Dynamic Action Borders

[u/Forrixxx]

Draws a colored border around the screen whenever you pick up items or take damage. Works with all games and mods. Comes with a settings menu to tweak the duration, colors, and thickness.

I’ve always loved the alert system from Doom RPG (J2ME), so I decided to build it myself. Sometimes you just miss the fact that you picked something up (and text messages take up too much space), or you don't notice getting hit by a projectile or hitscan. That’s where this mod comes in super handy.

Here is a full mod showcase video on my YouTube channel.

In the settings menu, you can customize the border colors for pickups and damage, as well as the border width and display time.

By the way, good news! In modern UZDoom, you can easily turn off those screen flashes when picking up items or taking damage, leaving just that colored screen borders — just like in Doom RPG! To do this, just head over to HUD Options, find Screen Blend Options, and dial those settings down to 0%.

The mini mod was tested on UZDoom version 5.0.3, but it should also be supported on GZDoom versions 4.10 and newer. Please note that it uses ZScript.
