This is a pic with the UI disabled, and how I can still see the ship info (or torpedoes/dot when those are currently in view).
I've been digging through cfg files for hours trying to remedy this myself so I don't have to nitpick just for the sake of a screenshot or video ... but I'm at a complete loss on what I need to alter to make that happen.
I dug through menu_1024_768.ini, and I think (but am probably way off) that I'd have to change something in there to make this work. I keep seeing stuff like:
Display=0;No stretch
And am wondering if I have to set Display to some variable to make those elements disappear when hitting the UI hide. If I'm on the right track, I still have no idea what these elements are inside that file. Any idea how I'd adjust this to get what I'm looking for?
Thank you. |
I'm sorry to say that yes, you're quite a long way off track.
The numpad dot key will remove a menu group on page 0x3F000000 and all of it's descendants (basically, it will remove almost everything starting with "0x3F"). But everything on the periscope screen is a child of the periscpe page (0x26000000 from memory) and will -at best - cease to function properly if you try to make it a child of the 0x3F000000 page.
The recognition manual is on another menu page all of it's own.
In other words, I really don't think there is any way at all of doing what you want... at least, certainly not with the numpad dot key. You could undertake some serious re-arrangement of the periscope page and try to make some things "slide" on and off the screen depending on where you put the mouse... or even try to re-use one of the unused notepad pages to act as an invisibility switch (maybe) ... but either it'd be a lot of work and I can't imagine the end result being worth it, even
if it works.
