Is there the possibility to turn off specific HUD items,change their color or change the position?
The "show/hide interface/names/scores" buttons are a good start for what i want but im asking for more options.

for example i want to
-turn off the hud items that show me where the flag poles are,
-remove the +1 symbol every time i hit someone
-move the who-killed-who messages to the top left and discard of the individual name colors/sizes,
-move the timer,
-remove the change of crosshair size when the weapon reloads
-change the color of the weapon/stamina reload bars without changing other colors
-remove the donate button,
-remove the advertisement message at the top left
and so on.

is there any config file that can do any of those things?
if someone knows how to do any of the above things i would greatly appreciate it.

impossible. tho for donate/advertisement, they're not native HUD part, but server controller, so try F7 to hide it.

I would love these features, but I would go even furter and say that it would be nice if we could completely design our own hud.
So besides skins, horns & avatars we could also pay planets for a new HUD made by the community.


If this would be too hard to realise I'd love some more logic in current different views.
Currently there are 3views. The default shows too much, The 2nd lacks important info, The 3rd shows nothing.

So a "competitive view" is what I at least would like.

thx for the quick answers! and the tip with f7!

quite a shame really. a option for some hud customization or at least a option to turn off the unnecessary information (+1 symbols,growing crosshair and the like) seemed pretty basic to me. custom models,avatars,namestyle on the other hand are things i could easily take a pass on.

You can always press * to disable the whole HUD. At least it works on trackmania, but it takes away everything (even essential things such as CP times). I could imagine that it would maybe remove the cross in SM, but it should be worth a try.

It removes everything mate Unplayable like this. It can be good for editing stuff or smth but not for gaming.

Well yes, but Nadeo has this philosophy of being anti-customization. We are after all talking about the company who refuses to let us set FOV because "it's important that the spectators see what players see".

And I agree, it is a damn shame but it won't happen. We are talking about the same company who got requested by SM players to have chat 'fade away after x number of seconds". End result? Nadeo made the change to both SM and TM games because you know... easier to just change a couple of codes globally for all games than to actually customize each game differently since they are after all, different games...

It was the same thing when some people requested removing 'attacker armor count' from bottom right side of screen. -SOME- players wanted it gone, so it got removed. Then right after some people wanted it back and Hylis was all confused because "WE had requested it in wishlist" completely forgetting that there are different wishes and opinons all around.

And it's exactly because everyone is different they should open up for more customization, yet they refuse to go that route. And it's by design. Why? Who the hell knows
