I saw today where ModernAlgebra suggested I post this as a script topic a LONG time ago. So, it's late as heck, but I'm gonna add it. Basically, it's a script written by Jens009. I didn't write it, I repeat, I didn't write this script! But, I did edit it so that a party of 6 could be displayed using it. I also did away with the original 'states' inclusion in the HUD. Here's the script:
#============================================================================
# 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.

Tried to do a screenshot deal, but I guess I need to have the image somewhere other than Photobucket. For some reason, the best I could do is this direct link. Feel free to copy it and paste it below with some html code, if you can. As you can see, it would be wise to shorten the names of the actors for this script to about 10 characters tops. Or you could just go down and edit the fonts in the script somehow. Hope you guys like it and someone out there can use it.
Not really sure about what you mean by "Helm of HP", but you can remove the actor graphic by deleting this part:
draw_actor_graphic(actor, x + 15, y + 60)
And you can delete the HP bar itself by deleting this part:
draw_actor_hp_gauge(actor, x + 30, y + 16, 38)
Just find those lines in the script and take them out. It should be as simple as that. Hope that answers your questions!
draw_actor_name (actor, x, y + 0)
That should clear the name. As far as the color of the hp gauge. I think you will have to change that in a default script, or add a part to change it. The reason for this is that this particular script just calls the HP and MP gauges into the scene. It doesn't control the color of it. Maybe you could add to it. In fact, I'm fairly certain you could. Plus, if you have already set your HP gauge to red in the menu, perhaps, it should already be red when you call it into the scene here.
Sorry for my initial response. I mis-read the post. That's what I get for answering posts when I first wake up. Hope this helps you.
