Is it possible to hide the crosshairs from the weapons?
Same with the onscreen messages like "press e to pickup..."
Thanks.

Doesn't HideHuds() do that?

As for the press E, just drop into the script and comment it out.

Ahh yes, the script... I'll try that.
Hideallhuds=1 in the ini file only hide the life/energy & ammo counters, but not the crosshair.

Maybe hidecrosshair=1 ?

No. In your main script (or any for that matter) HideHuds() will turn off the crosshairs. Of course, it will turn off your ammo/weapon and health hud too

(I might be wrong here but last time I tried, hud off included the crosshairs)

EDIT: I just checked, it should. https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/211762

Although, if you're removing crosshairs, I'm assuming you have a replacement for it?

Well, I have used always hideallhuds=1 at the system.ini file from the standalone. It hides everything except the crosshair and the messages.

No, I don't want to replace it with another bitmap... I only want to see the gun, no text, no crosshair...

My suggestion should remove the crosshairs and the HUD stuff.

As I said, the messages have to be turned off in the script the entity uses. In your case it might be weapons.lua, just use -- and comment out the line with Prompt("press E to....")

There is no command to specifically turn off cross hairs as they are part of the weapon visual. The only way would be to copy and paste the weapon folder in gamecore\guns and then edit the crosshair.dds so its completely black, even the alpha channel, and then when the game uses your modified weapon you will not see a cross hair.

I would *never* argue with the boss but this image shows no crosshairs except for what I've purposely used here.

This is the sniper scope. Have I erred?
