Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

HUD mods are pretty popular nowadays, and being limited to just one HUD is annoying, especially in cases when, for example, a map-focused project comes with its own HUD for very minimal reasons. It would be really great if AddStatusbarClass existed and allowed loading multiple HUDs that the player would be able to cycle through dynamically.

Describe the solution you'd like

AddStatusBarClass as an extension of the existing StatusBarClass Option to cycle through loaded HUDs in HUD Options Possibly a way to draw multiple HUDs over each other at the same time

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently the only alternative is to create an abomination through RenderOvelray

Agreed. If there is multiple ways to do this without having to resorting to using harder functionalities and calculating everything with the Screen.Draw functions, that'd be appreciated.
