GTG3000 submitted a new mod:

Shield Bars API - modding resource for displaying overhead bars

Read more about this mod...

 

You can make player_primary_bars.lua a bit shorter/slightly faster like this

Code:

local barsOldInit = init

function init()
    barsOldInit()
    self.barsList = {}
    message.setHandler("setBar", function(_, _, barName, barPercentage, barColor)
        setBar(barName,barPercentage,barColor)
    end)
    message.setHandler("removeBar", function(_, _, barName)
        removeBar(barName)
    end)
   
end

function overheadBars()
  self.barsList["shieldStamina"] = status.statPositive("shieldHealth") and {
    percentage = status.resource("shieldStamina"),
    color = status.resourcePositive("perfectBlock") and {255, 255, 200, 255} or {200, 200, 0, 255}
    } or nil
 
  return self.barsList
end

function removeBar(barName)
    self.barsList[barName] = nil
end

function setBar(barName,barPercentage,barColor)
    self.barsList[barName] = {
        percentage = barPercentage,
        color = barColor,
        stat = barStat
    }
    --sb.logInfo("%s  %s  %s",barName,barPercentage,barColor)
end

I took a guess with how they process the return on overheadBars() - that it wouldn't necessarily need to be a list - and i was right. So building a whole new table and inserting things into it each time isn't necessary.
