FS25 Number of players on servers V1.0

Number of players on servers
Displays the current number of players directly in the HUD on multiplayer servers.
The display consists of a compact player count with a status indicator:
Green: no Lua warning or Lua error detected
Yellow: Lua warning detected
Red: Lua error detected
The status point can be reset in the game settings if a detected message has been reviewed and is non-critical.
Note: In single-player mode, the HUD display will be automatically hidden if the mod was accidentally activated there.
Further detections may be added later if log data can be analyzed more cleanly in the game.

Adding a feature to display the current number of players directly in the HUD on multiplayer servers in FS25 sounds like a great idea! It can help players quickly and easily see how many people are on the server at any given time.

Having a compact player count along with status indicators based on Lua warnings and errors is a clever way to provide additional information. The use of green, yellow, and red indicators to represent the severity of the Lua messages is intuitive and can help players identify potential issues at a glance.

Allowing players to reset the status point in the game settings after reviewing a detected message is a nice touch. This feature promotes user control and allows players to manage their HUD display based on their preferences and the criticality of the messages.

The automatic hiding of the HUD display in single-player mode when the mod is accidentally activated is a thoughtful inclusion. It ensures that the feature is considerate of the game mode being played and does not disrupt the single-player experience unnecessarily.

Considering the potential for adding more detection features in the future based on log data analysis could further enhance the system's utility and help improve overall server performance and player experience.

Overall, the proposed feature set for displaying player counts and Lua message status indicators in the HUD on multiplayer servers in FS25 shows attention to detail and commitment to improving the multiplayer experience for players. I believe this addition would be welcomed by the community.
