==============OVERVIEW===============

This mod uses 3D Migoto to work. I created it inspired with what the "No floating hud icons" and "Toggle Hud" mods were able to do for the game.
Or at least that's how it started
The mod is compatible with Reshade and Forger based mods, its NOT compatible with Resorep mods 
You need a recent version of Reshade running using dxgi.dll for it to work with this mod. Old Reshade versions and Reshade working on d3d11.dll are not supported.

Mod Requirements :
Lastest, legit version of the game installed. If you don't have that feel free NOT to report any issues you encounter.


================TO INSTALL==============

1. Unpack the contents of the zip into the game directory and overwrite when asked
2. Done

3D Migoto is already included with the mod.

If you are updating and had ini's configured you will need to reconfigure the ini files

All the options can be tweaked in the hud_settings.ini and effect_settings.ini
You can change the settings while playing, just alt + tab out of the game, open one of the ini's, change some stuff and save the ini. When back ingame press F10 to load the new settings.


==========IMPORTANT NOTICE============

From version v2.1.2.0 forward all settings are disabled by default.
You need to enable the settings you want by yourself in effect_settings.ini and hud_settings.ini. That way you only enable what you want and won't tell me something is missing or something is wrong, because you didn't pay enough attention to what the mod does and what is enabled by default in the ini's.

When it comes to effects:
The settings included in effect_settings.ini might remove more effects than actually described in its description, so if you are looking to disable a certain effect, which you don't see in the description:
1. try setting all the settings in effect_settings.ini (to a value equal or grater than 1) (depending on what value a certain setting can take) (usually it's 1)
2. check if the effect you wanted to remove is removed, if so then find out which setting removed it,
3. if not removed report it in the posts section

The eicm.ini or d3dx.ini are not meant to be modified by users so don't.The mod might have bugs or missing icons. If you notice anything let me know in the comments

============HUD KEYBINDS==============

You can configure a key to disable the HUD on keypress in key_binds.ini
If you don't want to use this feature don't copy the key_binds.ini to the Mods directory
The hud will stay hidden after you press the configured key but automatically enable itself when entering menus, buying from blacksmiths, showing loot information dialog subtitles or dialog options.
When exiting the above it will automatically hide again.
You can also find the KeyShow_HUD in the key_binds.ini. Using this keybind will show the hud when holding down a configured key
You can bind multiple keys to show the hud on key hold just copy/ paste :

[KeyShow_HUD]
Key = VK_LSHIFT
type = hold
$disable_hud = 0

rename KeyShow_HUD to for ex. KeyShow_HUD2  and change Key = VK_LSHIFT to a different one
all possible key codes can be found in the ini 
For example you might want to bind this button to your aim button (r mouse button? left trigger? ) while the HUD is hidden. Choice is yours


============OTHER KEYBINDS=============

Additionally you can use a key to show healthbars, debuffduration and enemy icons, when that key isn't held down healthbars and enemy indicators won't show.
In order for this to work you need to set $usekeyhealthbars = 1 in hud_settings.ini. Keys to hide the HUD won't work with this setting on.
After turning this on go to key_binds.ini to configure your keys for this setting.
The keybinds are named [KeyShow_HB&INDICATOR] and [KeyShow_HB&INDICATOR2]
[KeyShow_HB&INDICATOR] will show healthbars and enemy indicators when held down
[KeyShow_HB&INDICATOR2] will act more like the eagle sense ability ,after holding it down for 500ms healthbars and enemy indicators will show up and stay visible for 6 seconds
