Well, there sorta' is a warning - "Your foo armor is damaged" or something like that comes up once whenever the DR parameter lessens - i.e. at 50%, 25%.
More of a warning than that are the numbers on the status bar, and, well, if you're keeping an eye open for your health, you should just take an occasional peak at your armor too.

I don't know how much trouble would it be to color the armor status bar (to yellow at 50%, and red at 25%), but I'm not sure if it's worth the time... The armor is a consumption goods, ad will never last long :-)

I agree with Valkeera that coloring armor status (and possibly health too) might be useful to know your general possibility of surviving with just a quick glance. And I might be wrong (I don't code much) but it should not be extremely difficult to do.

I'm coding on C++ and Delphi, and i must say that text coloring is absolutely not hard to add. And i'm nearly sure that Kornel can easily do some coloring to armor status. It will be cool.
