Posting this here for future reference, cause it is possible to toggle the health bar and light gem mid game without much hassle:
1. Create a file called `hide_hud` in your Thief directory, and put these two lines into it:
Quote:
set inv_status_height 0
objectives
2. Create another filed called `show_hud` in your Thief directory, and put these lines in it:
Quote:
set inv_status_height 0.06
objectives
3. Edit `user.bnd` and add these lines to it. If there's already bindings for F9, or you prefer different keys, edit them accordingly:
Quote:
bind f9 "run hide_hud"
bind f9+alt "run show_hud"
4. Play Thief! Press F9 followed by Esc to hide the HUD (sorry, the switch out
to objectives is necessary to make the config change take effect). Then
press Alt+F9 followed by Esc to show the HUD again.
5. Profit, I guess?

How do I do to change the size of letters for weapons and inventory that you toggle on HUD while playing?
And to change the duration of a notice, for instance the one that you read at the start of Return to the Cathedral inviting you to leave the area.

What hud?

The best one, of course.

So I wanted to remove the HUD completely to get better screenshots. Here's all you need to do:
-find dark.cfg in the T2 folder
-change these values like so:
vismeter_zoom 60 (change the 60 to -10)
and
hpbar_zoom 60 (change the 60 to 0)
-save the file and restart Thief 2
Ofc by setting different values you can just change their size too, within some allowed parameters.
Hope that helps someone else too!
Thanks so much! I can finally play Thief 2 with a clean screen, thanks to you. :thumb:

minor update: instead of two hotkeys, here is a script that will toggle the hud on and off with one hotkey:
1. Create a file called `toggle_hud` in your Thief directory, and copy this code into it:
Code:
ifndef hud_hidden set inv_status_height 0
ifdef hud_hidden set inv_status_height 0.06
ifdef hud_hidden set hud_temp 1
ifdef hud_hidden unset hud_hidden
ifndef hud_hidden ifndef hud_temp set hud_hidden 1
unset hud_temp
objectives
2. Edit `user.bnd` and add this line to it. If there's already bindings for F9, or you prefer a different key, edit it accordingly:
Code:
bind f9 "run toggle_hud"
3. Play Thief! Press F9 followed by Esc to hide the HUD (sorry, the switch out
to objectives is necessary to make the config change take effect). Then
press F9 followed by Esc to show the HUD again.

No profit this time? :(
I've been using your last combo for a few years now, but it's nice to simplify it.
Just tested it and works like a charm. Thank you!

does toggle_hud file have to be cfg or txt is fine too? because it doesn't work for me, created toggle_hud as cfg, added a line in user.bnd, also tried to check read-only on it, but that didn't work as well

Neither. Delete the extension entirely.
Cigam on 19/6/2024 at 12:10
Does it work if you add the extension to the keybind line? For example:
bind f9 "run toggle_hud.txt"
