About this mod

Reshade Shader Toggle mod that creates a minimalist HUD.

Update

This mod is pretty much obsolete already, after a few hours, and I couldn't be happier. Someone released a proper hide minimap mod shortly after this was released. I will leave this up in case someone likes the ultra minimal HUD, but it is just not worth the drawbacks for me.

I will add a separate mod which will only hide the environmental and character outlines/highlights.

I loathe minimaps, when I discovered the HUGE minimap (maximap) was not toggleable in game I was crestfallen. However, rather than moaning like a ***** on a forum, I set to work fixing the problem.

So I originally intended this mod to hide the minimap, but as the minimap textures are tied to other elemetnts of the UI, it ended up morphing into a minimalist, immersive HUD (with some issues).

The Reshade addon only works with DX11, so this will not work with Vulkan.

Features

  • Minimap is hidden
  • All parts of the HUD are hidden excepting the quickbar icons, character portrait, party portraits and the End Turn button
  • Environment interacable highlight/outine is hidden, also works to hide the character/enemy highlight in combat!
  • Did I say the minimap is hidden? :D

Issues

  • When accessing the other menus; settings, inventory, map etc., the UI does not display correctly, you need to press the toggle key again to show it. I will add an auto hotkey script to fix this soon. Idea is to create a script to simulate the press of the mod toggle key milliseconds after pressing a button that would invoke the UI (ESC, I, J, M etc.). UPDATE: I'm having trouble getting an auto hotkey script to work, does anyone have a script that would work for this purpose? Cheers.
  • The dark background for the tooltips is disabled by the mod which makes tooltips unreadable against certain in game lighting/terrain. Doesn't seem like this can be fixed, but this is a rough and ready fix until something more sophisticated comes along!
  • You need to press the mod toggle key when entering a conversation or skill check etc, this is unavoidable and will not be fixed with the auto hotkey script
  • Game version is not hidden as the text shares the same texture as all other text, there is another mod for that, which you can see in the screenshots. I'm sure the devs will remove that though.

Fair Warning

  • This has not been tested extensively, feedback on other issues would be appreciated, though, due to the brute force nature of this mod it's unlikely any issue will be fixed :D
