Disabling HUD (but not the 3 main screens) for cinematic videos?

[Fieel]

Hello, i make cinematic videos about things flying on space and on air. I discovered Evochron Mercenary and figured out that it is awesome to make some cinematic videos, but unfortunately IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Pressing "H" disables the HUD, hiding all the nasty things i want to hide during my video (the top HUD buttons, the crosshair/gunsight etc. etc.) but it also hides the 3 main screens (those showing target, speed, and radar)! This is terrible!

I want to record from the 3d virtual cockpit, exactly how the pilot would watch from the cockpit, i need those 3 screen otherwise it is useless. I want to disable all the HUD except the 3 main screens. I already made a video, check it out, it would look 10x times better without all the HUD but the 3 screens.

I opened a thread in the steam forums before opening this one: https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/h ... 4HPgSD.jpg

I tried (as suggested by the guy on the steam forums) to use a 1x1 pixel picture i found on internet and replaced some files, but the only thing that happened was that big black squares appeared on the fields i replaced. Then i tried to created a 1x1 pixel png picture with photoshop, making sure that it was transparent and everything, and this happened:

The squares became white istead of black

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance

First, you'll want to use PNG files using the filenames listed in the ReadMe for the customizing kit. Next, simply replace the HUD elements you want to remove with black blank images and then their shadows (where applicable) with white blank images. So for example, to remove the upper frame sections with the compass and console buttons, you would include the following blank files (size might be something like 8X8) in the \\hud folder:

b2-compass.png (black)
b2-compassshadow.png (white)

This will remove the upper HUD section frame and its shadow. You can do the same for other HUD elements and even remove indicators if you want to.
