console commands for cleaning up the HUD ??

(thore) #1

yep, i did google around for ages and found some scripts and listings - but
they’re all rtcw related. since some variables changed their names or just
don’t work within ET anymore i didn’t manage to get some clear screenshots
or avis. sure there is this draw2d thingy, but what am i supposed to do when
it comes to make only selected elements disappear? cg_drawstatus shows
up in the auto-complete feature (TAB) but whatever value i entered i didn’t
see any changes. same with cl_noprint… i’m going to make some avi video
with nothing else left on the screen than ‘you killed [player]’… all the other
crap has to go away but i really can’t make them disappear.

i knew there are some screenies around and i’ve seen a movie with the
same 2d setup described above - so there actually IS a possibility to switch
those hud-element individually. could anyone post those commands for ET
(not rtcw) please?

thx.

Some of those are obvious, others you may have to test to see what they do, but that should be all you need.

thank you so far - but still there remains some clutter on the screen :bored:

the whole lower left display still shows health, skills and the soldier’s head, in
the lower right corner the weapon icon, stamina bar and ammo display won’t
disappear. not to mention those ‘playerX was killed by playerY’ messages.

i tried to set draw2d 0 and ‘reactivated’ selected elements again, but draw2d
seems to override all 2d settings, so with draw2d deactived it would not matter
if cg_drawgun is set to 1.

phew. it can’t be this difficult to take a cleared screenshot :moo:

the cvar for clearing stuff off the screen, cg_draw2d is cheat protected. If you want clean screenies, take them from a demo or stage the pic in a cheat enabled server

actually i know that one… the problem is i don’t want to remove ALL draw2d
related things but just a few of them. that’s why i need to know every single
command rather than just erasing the whole screen by disabling draw2d :moo:

replace all the images and fonts with images with a transparent alpha channel :stuck_out_tongue:
