IronHUD (Rust)

Iron HUD

Price: $12.99 (one-time)

Iron HUD is a compact top-left status strip for Rust.

On a bare install it shows online players, sleepers, the in-game clock with day/night, a configurable wipe countdown, and world-event icons (airdrop, cargo, patrol heli). Those read the game directly. Nothing else is required.

Optional cards light up when you add companion plugins from the same author (raid window, bounties, live events, battlepass, perks, rewards). Each integration is presence-checked. Missing a companion only hides that card. No errors, no log spam, no hard dependency.

Layout

- Status strip (bold "Status strip", regular rest): always on — population / optional RP / wipe countdown, raid SAFE/OPEN when a raid-window plugin is present, world-event icons from live entities

- Bounty card (bold): your active bounty when a bounty plugin is installed

- Event card (bold): live world event when an event source is installed

- Wipe-pass and perks cards (bold): same graceful hide when sources are absent

Player commands (no permissions)

- /hud, /hud hide, /hud show

- /hud small (default) / /hud full

Why this build

- Standalone first. Companions are optional upgrades, not a locked suite.

- Icons are embedded in the plugin file. Fresh install draws without hosting assets or broken default URLs.

- Wipe countdown is config-driven (monthly Nth-weekday, weekly, or off). If Raid Window Scheduler is present and exposes the wipe API, its schedule wins.

- Idle servers cost nothing: repaint does no work when nobody is connected.

- Presentation only. State stays in the owning plugins via Call; the HUD never duplicates game logic.

Install: drop IronHUD.cs into carbon/plugins or oxide/plugins, c.reload IronHUD. Unload any other general info-panel first so two HUDs do not stack.
