Was wondering if it's possible to add a toggle to hide the shield / hull bars when in 3rd person. I'd love to hide these for recording without having to hide the while UI and also having them hidden permanently.
Endorsed. Love the cleaner look, much less arcade-like without all the unnecessary clutter constantly filling the screen.
Though it really has nothing to do with the hud, losing the useless clutter that's constantly hovering over every npc's head, seeing as you have to actually go up to them to see what their qualifications are anyway, and I've never really cared what their name was, would improve their looks as well.
You seem to know a lot about modding the UI, I was hoping you could help me with something or atleast point me in the right direction.
A lot of the hud elements present in the cockpit view (F1) is removed in third person view (F2), do you know if its possible to add these hud elements back in, or at least how to prevent them from disappearing?
It shouldn't affect map overlay. "(...) this mod alone" - does it mean that you tested a new game with Cleaner HUD being the only mod - and you get different results than when starting a new game with no mods at all? Map usually has much less FPS than space.
I've tested this by starting a new game as terran cadet this time. Cleaner Hud is the only mod installed alongside w/ four major dlc's. Nothing else. 25-40fps in map overlay. Then I close client, delete mod, open client, starting new game again, same start. 70-80 fps in map overlay. Thats about it.
You were right. The issue came from the fact that 6.2 introduced changes to the HUD code and mod was based on 6.0 game version. Latest version fixes that. Thanks for testing and reporting.
I was wondering: since you are touched the HUD files, do you think it is possible mod the game to keep the main HUD elements (speed, HP, shield bar, etc.) while playing in third person view?
Hey Shasslar, I didn't analyze that part of game's UI so can't give you a solid answear. I suppose it might be hard to achieve without some bigger UI code changes - which are unfortunately not worthwhile since game doesn't widely support UI modding atm.
Thanks for this mod! UI did my box in with this game.
I have a request - you'd be my favourite human being if you could make a mod that removes the blue circles in front of your ship when using third person. I'm hoping it'd be easy enough to do. It totally ruins 3PP for me and that's how I'd like to play the game when not in combat.

There will be update to CleanerHUD mod shortly after the 7.0 release.

Nice mod, really looks clean.

From Bavaria with love!
Thank you!
It was a quick compatibility pass, still hoping to put more time into this one.

If so, I would agree and give this idea a
