NO HUD/UI MOD possible?

[TheShadowHatter]

Title says it all. I want to record footage of the game and take snazzy screenshots without the HUD/UI. Is it possible to mod the UI/HUD out?

also any way to remove subtitles too?

I hope someone does do a mod of these if it's possible.

[Taku]

Yes please <3

A fancy-shmancy snapshot mode like Super Mario Odyssey has would be a pretty sweet update.

Yes, this is fairly easy to do. You just have to disable a few vertex shaders

I don't have any interest in removing the HUD myself since the game is unplayable that way, so this screenshot shows me targeting other vertex shaders instead :P Same principle applies.

Anything specific that makes it unplayable? After beating the game on 100% I feel like there isn't anything that would stop you from beating stages except maybe the QTE sections but since those slow time anyways you could effectively time them right I would think.

You probably can't navigate menus. At least it removed the menus how I did it.

Some examples:

(sorry, i just like showing off how nice this looks too much).

Anyway, someone made a cheat engine table that lets you make the game work in 21:9 and adjust the HUD resolution to 21:9. But you can also use it to remove the HUD completely but setting it to 0. The main drawback is that that it crashes the game a lot for me (like in I couldnt finish one level).

You need cheat engine to use it. It's most likely save, the guy did some mania modding as well and has a patreon.

@Kaldein, if you could maybe still offer something to disable (maybe toggle) the HUD that would be really nice...

You don't have any clue how many rings you have.

If you want to disable the HUD, pixel shader da102e56 works. This will also remove some post-processing though.

I was hoping for this. I know someone did it for Dragon ball Xenoverse 2 so was hoping the same could happen here.

I'm honestly okay with that since my main objective is just for screenshots and maybe some video. I'll be fine with no ring count personally.

Any guide for dummies on this? No idea where to even begin.

[Kaldaien]

Yeah, sorry. I'll write some instructions up in the morning :)

It's using my mod system's graphics debugger, so while I can teach you what to do, it's not going to be the most intuitive process :P

ah I gotcha. either way I'll take what I can get until someone decides to make it easier for me lol. I just want to make some cool screenshots and maybe a YouTube video or two.

[Kaldaien]

Apologies for the delay

You will be happy to know I went ahead and dramatically simplified all of this for you :)

Extract this[github.com] to steamapps\common\SonicForces\build\main\projects\exec.

As the name suggests, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+H will toggle the game's HUD on-demand with this installed.

You may want to change the binding, and you can do this by editing dinput8.ini (will be created the first time the game runs).

Look for the section called [Macro.HUDToggle], you can assign any combo of buttons you want, followed by =D3D11.ShaderMods.Toggle Pixel 0xda102e56 Disable.

You can re-configure / remove the yellow OSD text by opening my mod's config menu (Ctrl+Shift+Backspace).

complicated, but I do appreciate the effort and I'll try and see if I can get this working for myself. thanks for the help

It also disables all menus though so you cant even select a level properly.
