Is there a way to possibly program/implement a simple damage display system using pre-made DMI fonts possibly using the pixel_x/y system without the complexity of the S/F_damage libraries? If so, how might this be done?

Those libraries aren't all that complex. I tried s_damage once, and all it had me do was call a proc with how many damage was taken.

Trust me, you're better off using those libraries than creating your own. It'd be useless to reinvent the wheel on this one.

Well, my problem with that is that I am a half-decent pixel artist and I made my own font already.

Perhaps I should rephrase. Is there a more simple library out there that doesn't mess with HTML/color of the numbers? As in, it just uses the colors in the DMI font?

Eurr, s_damage can do this amazingly. You can just re-set the icon-file (If I remember correctly, it's defined. So, green text. Just change s_damage.dmi to your .dmi)

And if you don't input a colour you'll just get the standard colour.. I mean, you can just give null. s_damage(src,damage), there!

Alright. I was planning on using S_damage anyway if there wasn't another library. My only concern is that it causes high CPU in instances of AoE damage.
