Toggle HUD Elements

Versions

See the "Changelogs" dropdown just above.

Introduction

There are several mods out there already which toggle the HUD on/off but (as far as I know) only one of them will toggle individual elements of the HUD on/off. That's the predecessor of this mod. But that one used an LUA script (hooked into the game using UE4SS), which some users found to be unreliable and unstable. I have therefore re-written the mod in blueprints (which is what the game is written in). This version should be super-reliable and rock solid.

This mod will allow you to toggle each of the four main elements of the HUD (the map, the tool wheel, the spells and the meters) on/off individually, and toggle floating icons on/off, and of course toggle the entire HUD on/off too. (It will actually toggle whatever you have enabled on/off, so when you toggle it back on you get back what you had showing previously.) It will also toggle another eight transitory elements of the HUD (like the white outlines around enemies).

Your HUD settings will be reflected in the settings menu and will therefore be preserved when you restart the game (except Duel Challenges which is saved separately because it's not in the settings menu).

Installation

You should be able to install the mod automatically using Vortex (then skip to step 4 below), but Vortex can be a bit unreliable with Hogwarts Legacy mods (it doesn't always delete mods properly) so I would recommend installing it manually as follows:

[]Download the mod.

[]Unzip the contents.

[]Move zMyHUDToggler-105_P.utoc, zMyHUDToggler-105_P.ucas, and zMyHUDToggler-105_P.pak to the Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods\ folder.

[]Install Blueprint Apparate Modloader if you haven't already.

[]Start Hogwarts Legacy

[]Load your most recent save-file.

[]Press the F8 key to activate Blueprint Apparate Modloader.

[]Type MyHUDToggler in the little window and hit the Enter key on your keyboard.

[]The word MyHUDToggler should disappear and reappear lower down in that window with an X next to it. If it doesn't - if it stays on the top line - then either a) you put the .utoc, .ucas and .pak files in the wrong folder, or b) one of your existing mods is already using pakchunk 105. Use my PakChunk Checker to check that. If you have a pakchunk conflict see the Conflicts section below.
