Hiding Hud in multiplayer session

[SpadesD 1]

So i have scoured the web, the forums but cannot find any info on this subject.

Is there any way i can remove the hud when in a multiplayer session.

I know there are scripts/mods that remove it in your own maps/missions but the entire point for me is to get rid of the hud whilst in MP sessions.

I personally cannot believe a company with this much sophistication does not have a simple key combination or key to hide the hud regardless what kind of gameplay you are currently involved in....

It's on server side if i'm not mistaken, start a new game on the server but choose expert difficulty.

Indeed, you've to change the difficulty, except about the map, compass, and some others things, it's a parameter set in the mission itself.

Unless hes on about changing it on other servers? rather than his own, in which case no there isnt a way of hiding the HUD.

I agree to some respect as a "cinematic" mode should be present if you want it, but for now just go on Hardcore/Mercenary servers and it should be semi fine as long as you dont reload etc :)

If the client being you has your settings set to veteran and you dont see any hud, but you join a server that has the settings

set to regular where the hud would show, then you will have a hud, so the server needs to change the settings for the client to play without hud.

In the server's server.armaprofile all you would need to do is change the

hudGroupInfo = 1;

hudPerm = 1;

hudWp = 1;

hudWpPerm = 1;

Change these to 0 <- (Zero).

I personally cannot believe a company with this much sophistication does not have a simple key combination

or key to hide the hud regardless what kind of gameplay you are currently involved in....

its called a difficulty setting, change your settings to veteran and the hud will be removed, as I said above if you join a server and the server

is on regular, then you will have a hud again, so find a server or host one that has the difficulty setting on veteran.

Also welcome to Bis forums. :)
