Version 1.3.2 is out

The variant without any reload, medkit and trap activation messages is now available too.
! If you want to use trap activation you need update 1.3.2e too! It will remove RELOAD and MEDKIT hints. !
Highly recommended!


Overview of what this mod delivers:


- Annoying hint messages ('You have unspent skill points' etc.) and their accompanying sounds have been removed

- Choose between three main options how interactions (e.g. 'Hold [E] Search') are displayed to you

- Choose between hint messages for reload, medkit and trap activation to be on or off

- Choose between two options how you would like the HP be presented to you   (simple HP available in 16:9 and 21:9)

- Display of icons and readability have been improved while at the same time they are less distracting

- Things that won't obstruct your view anymore: - Objectives list *
                                                                         - XP bars + icons
                                                                         - Weapon and Equipment indicators
                                                                         - Radar (there are options to keep Radar enabled)


For a preview how all this may look in-game, please take a look at the images I provided.



* if you want to use objectives list then v1.1 has that option; the list is more transparent and far less obtrusive
                                                           if you want an updated version of that please feel free to contact and ask me ;)

    + sound removal is now available separately so it can be used together with v1.1 or even v1.0

Installation process since Dying Light v1.4.0:

  1.) Choose desired options* and extract respective Data3.pak from the archive to 'X:\...\Dying Light\DW'.

  2.a) If there is already a Data3.pak then you are probably using at least one mod.

          In this case you have to copy the 'data' directory from one Data3.pak to the other.

      b) Open both Data3.paks with a program like WinRAR so that you are looking at

          the folder with the name 'data' in each of them.
      
      c) Now drag the 'data' folder from HUDless into the other Data3.pak (the one in the game directory).

          If asked confirm to overwrite.


        here's an example how this works:
   



* if not stated otherwise stamina bar visibility is active
