Turn off Damage/Floating numbers

[TomzzZ_]

Is there anyway to turn off the floating damage numbers when you shoot an enemy?

No.

There's an obscure way to do it though - you need the TexMOD tool and a special file pack where all the numbers and floating words textures are replaced by a small, transparent pixel square.

That will work, can you get me directions?

Here you go:

The TexMod executable[www.dropbox.com]

and

The no floaters package for texmod[www.dropbox.com]


I will keep these links active for a week - so grab them before that.

Now, how you go about it is a bit fiddly and honestly it's been a while since I used it myself, so I may give wrong instructions. The problem is that Steam doesn't deal well with third party injectors and insists on closing the game or that the game is not running.

But I *think* I did it like this:

• 1. Unzip and put the NoFloaters package wherever. Unzip and copy the TexMod.exe to the Borderlands2 "binaries/Win32" folder
  
• 2. Rename the Borderlands2.exe there to something else (Like Borderlands2COPY.exe or something)
  
• 3. Rename the TexMod.exe to Borderlands2.exe
  
• 4. In your Steam Library, right click on BL2, choose "properties" and click on "Set Launch Options" there, enter "-nolauncher" (without quotes)
  
• 5. Start Borderlands 2 from Steam
  
• 6. TexMod should appear. Select the renamed Borderlands2.exe in the "Target Application" box (the actual Borderlands2COPY.exe(or whatever you named it) I mean)
  
• 7. In the lower part of the window, you can now select the NoFloaters package (browse to it, doesn't matter where you put it)
  
• 8. Click "Run"
  
  Always assuming you are using Windows of course.
  
  If all went well, your Borderlands now has no floating numbers and indicators anymore.
  You need to repeat 6-8 though every time you start the game.

Thx thx, you should make a guide to turn off floating numbers. It's very annoying when you can't even see the screen.

Did it work, then?
