Is it possible to completely remove the thing, and not just auto-hide it in the options and if so, would it be considered cheating? The resolution I play at is nothing to brag about (1280x960) and is kind of limiting when it comes to PvP, so I'd like to get rid of unnecessary stuff, like the maneuver bar.
There is a way to make it "invisible", but the game will still act like it's still there whenever you hover over. You won't be able to see it, or click trough, but you can click on the buttons (even though they are invisible).
This only helps if you don't wanna see the actual bar whenever your cursor goes to the top of the screen.
I managed to move the maneuver bar completely off screen, and make it click-through-able.
Always backup your files before making edits!
- Install Freelancer + Discovery mod
- go to ..\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1\EXE
- copy HudShift.ini file
- go to ..\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1\DATA\INTERFACE
- paste HudShift.ini file
- open HudShift.ini file in ..\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1\DATA\INTERFACE with a text editor (I recommend notepad++)
- look for
Code:
[HUDShift]
Horizontal = auto
; The calculated values, if you'd like to do some fine tuning.
; Be sure to comment the above, otherwise you'll shift twice.
- change to
Code:
[;HUDShift]
Horizontal = auto
; The calculated values, if you'd like to do some fine tuning.
; Be sure to comment the above, otherwise you'll shift twice.
- look for
Code:
; 16:9 (1280x720, 1440x810, 1600x900, 1920x1080).
[;HUDShift]
Horizontal = 0.17
; 15:9 (1280x768).
[;HUDShift]
Horizontal = 0.1275
; 16:10 (1280x800, 1440x900, 1600x1000, 1680x1050, 1920x1200).
[;HUDShift]
Horizontal = 0.102
- look for your resolution/aspect ratio, and uncomment the [HUDShift] under your resolution. For 16:9 it should look like this
Code:
; 16:9 (1280x720, 1440x810, 1600x900, 1920x1080).

- save and close the HudShift.ini file
- Play without the maneuver bar!
Just tried it and it works perfect! Nice find!
Also, grave digging, I guess?
Glad to hear its working for you too.
I figured its always better to use an existing topic over starting a new one,
Minor gravedig, nothing serious. It's useful stuff if it's not considered cheating.
