Mod Breakdown
This mod is separated into multiple files, so users can selectively choose which parts of the HUD they wish to hide. Below is a breakdown of which files deal with which HUD elements.
noHUD_01_CommandMenu - Hides the command menu, situation commands, and style point gauge (arrows).
noHUD_02_PartyHealth_EnemyHealth - Hides party HP/MP/Focus and character portraits, as well as enemy HP.
noHUD_03_Targeting_ButtonPrompts - Hides all types of targeting:
-Lock-on
-Shotlock
-Interactables (Examine, etc.) Make sure you know what objects you need to interact with or you could get stuck.
-Button prompts (such as for reprisals)
-EXP number that spawns near an enemy after killing them
noHUD_04_Information_Misc - Hides all remaining elements:
-Information bar
-Item pickups (and the sound that goes with it)
-EXP until next level
-Mission-specific graphics (Gears counter in Castle Town area).
-Level ups (and the sound that goes with it)
-Autosave icon
-Map
noHUD_05_MiscSoundEffects - Silences the sound effects for: information bar, and lock-on/off.
In the "soundEffects_alternate" folder there is another pak file, which if desired can be used instead of "noHUD_05_MiscSoundEffects".
noHUD_05_MiscSoundEffects_LowHP - Silences everything from "noHUD_05_MiscSoundEffects", but also removes the low HP warning sound. Can save your ears some grief, but if you're playing without a visible health bar, you'll need some good intuition to stay alive.
