« on: 19. June 2023, 01:07:10 »I fixed an issue this mod had in Use Mode - BIOFULL was unaffected leading to the original cross & crescent to mesh with the new line graphics. I included an empty template file, and also an addon to use this mod with health/psi colors swapped, like I typically play.

« on: 18. March 2020, 03:29:15 »If you can get a majority vote from the people who've tried this mod that the crosshair should be bigger, I'll make it bigger.

« on: 17. March 2020, 11:40:31 »Good. The cross-hair could be a tiny bit bigger. It's quite hard to see it sometimes.

« on: 17. March 2020, 06:28:47 »Updated to v2. Where the first version was a quick hack-and-slash job to get the HUD down to a theoretical bare minimum, this time I tried to make it look more intentionally designed. Restored the HUD brackets, and fixed/improved some antialiasing issues.

« on: 13. March 2020, 19:13:24 »Interesting mod. Checked it out for an hour or so. I never realized how much I used the brackets to distinguish whether or not I'm hovering over an item.
One (very) minor annoyance is that flavor text that appears at the top center of the screen isn't... well, centered for shorter description texts, as seen in the attached picture to the original post. Obviously this is no fault of the mod, but I guess isn't as noticeable with the normal box that appears. Still, this is a very clean way to play the game, and one I'm likely to use for quite a while!
If you still want the brackets, it's easy to get them back by manually deleting all of the png files starting with "brack" inside the mod folder.
I find it to be an acceptable compromise between minimalism and functionality.

« on: 12. March 2020, 19:36:16 »I wonder: Is it (easily) possible to implement Thief-style frobbin in SS2, meaning a slightly brightened overlay on a currently selected object?

« on: 12. March 2020, 18:02:56 »Some pretty loops you got there!
Posted by: Creamy
« on: 12. March 2020, 04:37:08 »This is my current setup, and my preferred way of playing Shock 2 for the time being, so thanks for keeping the experience fresh! Love that minimalist approach. I've also found your no-HUD mod wonderful for capturing short videos which I've turned into a series of looping GIFs (you can check the thread out here)
EDIT: now that I look at it, I guess I don't need both audio log mods running. The autoplay one is how I prefer it.

Yup, the brackets are useful, but I was going for FULL MINIMALISM! with this.

System Shock 2 Minimal HUD v2
16 Mar 2020
by ZylonBane
This mod minimizes the "shoot" mode HUD as much as possible.
The "use" mode HUD is unchanged.
The mod makes the following changes:
- Changes crosshair to a small transparent dot.
- Changes enemy health bars to thin single-colored lines.
- Reduces size of targeting brackets.
- Removes background for object descriptions at top of screen.
- Removes health/psi frame and slims down bars.
- Removes weapon info frame. A transparent black background is
retained so text is still legible against light environments.
If used with SHTUP, this should be placed at a higher priority in the mod manager.
Note that this incorporates the Minimal Health Bar mod, so you don't need to install both of them.
