Description
E3X is a compatibility-focused HUD overhaul based on Project E3 - HUD and Project E3 - HUD Tweaks. It is designed primarily for heavily modded Cyberpunk 2077 setups, especially modlists where multiple mods interact with HUD controllers, nameplates, dialogue UI, notifications, compass elements, stamina, phone widgets, subtitles and other interface systems.

The goal is to preserve the E3-inspired visual style while improving HUD compatibility, restoring selected vanilla behavior and reducing unnecessary script overhead. E3X does not completely redesign Project E3 - HUD; instead, it provides a cleaner and more modlist-friendly version focused on compatibility and performance.

Features
- General E3-style presentation, animations and HUD layout remain intact.
- Vanilla NPC and Enemy Nameplates: Removes E3-specific overrides to allow the base game to handle visibility, preventing persistent nameplates and conflicts with Limited HUD-style mods.
- Cleaner HUD Positioning: Preserves and cleans up the Project E3 HUD Tweaks positioning system, allowing adjustments via the CET interface.
- Reduced Runtime Config Writes: Removes unnecessary file I/O by saving settings only when required.
- Reduced Redundant Widget Updates: Checks current positions before applying updates to reduce translation calls and layout calculations.
- Quest Mapping Optimization: Reuses existing animation definitions instead of repeatedly creating new animation objects.
- Compass Optimization: Caches settings objects during updates and uses squared-distance comparisons for faster duplicate marker checks.
- Enhanced Compatibility: Specifically designed to work with systems such as NPC nameplates, health bars, dialogue UI, notifications, compass elements, stamina, subtitles, phone widgets, and activity logs.
- Issue Resolution: Fixes incorrect dialogue attribute icons, incorrect Lifepath icons, and reduces script overhead.
