Introduction
So I was in the RGSS2 Request forum and VerifyedRasta requested for a simple HUD that shows an actor's HP and SP. So I took on the request and here it is.

Features
-Remove HUD with a call script
-Change maximum actors shown in HUD
-Can change update methods This decreases lag and increases performance of script
-Either Always update HUD on map or update the HUD only when necessary

- Less buggy and more flexible.

#============================================================================
# Jens009 Simple HP/SP/State HUD
# Version 2.0
# Release Date: August 11,2008
# Description: Display an HP/SP and State HUD information in map.
# Compatibility: Should be compatible with any system
# Configuration:
#   I. Turning off the HUD in game
#       use the call script $game_system.show_hud = true/false
#           true = show HUD, false = disable HUD
#   II. Changing maximum information shown
#        look at SHOW_MAX under JCONFIG, you can change the value to show
#        how many of the actors in the party to display their information
#        by default, it is set to show only 2 actors.
#   III. Changing maximum information shown in game
#        use the call script JCONFIG::SHOW_MAX = *integer*
#        You can change the amount of actors displayed in the HUD in game.
#        simply change integer to the value you want.
#   IV.  Changing Update methods
#        if you want the HUD to always update, set ALWAYS_UPDATE_HUD to true
#        but if you want to only update the HUD whenever you want to, set
#        this to false.
#        When $game_sysyem.always_update is false, you can update the hud
#        manually in game using the call script $game_system.refresh_hud = true.
#        this will refresh the hud information once.
#        However, you can also switch between always updating the HUD and
#        only updating the hud once during in game.
#        Simply use the call script:
#           $game_sysyem.always_update = true/false
#        and to reupdate once
#           $game_system.refresh_hud = true
#
# Optimization to achieve higher FPS
#    1) Set SHOW_MAX to a low value
#    You can also:
#    2) Set $game_sysyem.always_update = false
#      2.1) Use $game_temp.refresh_hud = true to reupdate the hud manually.

#============================================================================
# Jens009 Simple HP/SP/State HUD
# Version 1.0
# Release Date: August 10,2008
# Description: Display an HP/SP and State HUD information in map.
# Compatibility: Should be compatible with any system
# Configuration:
#   I. Turning off the HUD in game
#       use the call script $game_system.show_hud = true/false

#        You can change the amount of actors displayed in the HUD in game.
#        simply change integer to the value you want.
# Optimization
#   For the sake of simplicity, I made this script as user friendly as
#   much as possible. Because of this, the game map will get laggy if
#   there are a lot of actors are shown in the HUD all at the same time
#   it is recommended that you show only 2 actors or less for a higher FPS.
#  
#   Besides, this HUD was meant to show only one actor at a time.

Customization
See Script for info.

Compatibility
Should be compatible with any system. Except if you have another system that also has a HUD which defines the window as Window_Hud.

But high compatibility nonetheless.
Screenshot

This is a sample screenie if you want to show all actors with all 4 states used up for every actor.

It works great now!! And updating the HUD manually is not a hassle at all, so it works out fine with the battle

Thanks again Jens009
