Feature suggestion: enable/disable HUD
on: December 25, 2010, 03:48:08 am
Would it be possible to put in a feature that would allow the new HUD feature to be turned off?  It would be nice to be able to turn this feature on and off throgh the launcher like enable 3d radar or enable information next to target.  It tends to mess up anything that has a special HUD. 
I thought fixing the FSPort HUD would fix all the problems but the Vasudan HUD in the Vasudan Imperium is messed up and it is more than just putting in an updated HUD table.  Also I kinda like the old HUD size.
Normal people believe that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
The difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers is:
Mechanical Engineers build weapons.  Civil Engineers build targets
An optimist sees the glass half full; the pessimist sees it half empty. An engineer sees that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Aside from using an older build? Find some help to address the HUD issues in your mod.

Otherwise, not possible, or if (by some screwed up stretch of the imagination, possible) not going to happen.

You can (or should be able to) get the old scaling back if you create a hud-gauges.tbm with the 1024x768 base coordinates, and set it to apply for all resolutions.

FYI the Vasudan Imperium hud is a reskinned FS2 style hud, not FS1 style. Any and all HUD settings used for FS2 should be used for VI so long as they use the right filenames for the VI hud elements.

Does that mean that if I put a normal FS2 hud table in the mod folder it should work?

i think you can just put "hu.hudDrawn = false" in a script-eval sexp and it will let you switch the hud off, you can turn it back on again with "hu.hudDrawn = true". its one of the few things you can script completely from fred without any external scripts.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Also, that's a function that is covered by the hud-disable sexp.
