Disabling all but Messages and Directives on HUD?
Right, so this should probably be somewhat straightforward, but clearly I'm missing something. I want to be able to "turn off" the HUD for a limited time, whilst still being able to view the messages and directives that come in. The only SEXP I can see to get this to work is the "hud-disable-except-messages", however that disables the directives box for me as well. Any pointers as to how I could approach this differently, or fix something that may be broken? Thanks in advance.

Well.. off the top of my head, I think the only way to do this is to disable each HUD gauge manually via set-hud-gauge-active (false).

I was hoping to avoid using the 3.6.14 RC's, but so long as it can be agreed upon that they are stable enough to build a campaign of sorts with, then I won't complain at all. Thanks for the help mjn.mixael; I haven't tried yet but I'm certain it will work perfectly.

EDIT: Updating to RC6 actually fixed everything oddly enough; getting stuck in the past isn't always a good thing.
