Shenmue 2 Hud removal

[kakuzawa]

Hi!
I've found the way to remove this somehow annoying hud in Shenmue 2.


For silverston100 I'll prepare 'ultra clean' version but how about daily gaming?
I think what have to be left
- clock
- qte buttons
How about other buttons?

Which should be left, or maybe you have more interesting 'buttons' in mind?
Post your opinions

So how'd you do it?

Any luck with removing audio files?

Make the left symbol a gun and claim it's "Reo Hazukys" gun. Hell yeah i just said that as everyone would be expecting me to say that anyways.

Great job, love your "cleaner" version. Looking forward to a completely "HUD-less" version and instruction on how to do that. Excellent work!

I'm glad my inquiries are leading to something.

You should check out TexMod. It's a "higher" level way to achieve texture manipulation...it's more work and not much of a static solution but it works for me. It lets you remove textures you don't want and add your own. It has a pretty useful in-game interface as well. Also works for any DirectX9 app supposedly. My only thing is that I would like to remove/edit game audio as well.

Have you patched the GDI? Did it work?

[silversons100thaccount]

I can't get the test environment to work. I also tryed using Selfboot. Can't seem to get that working either. I've only ever gotten selfboot to work once, and that was the first time i tried it.

I have a hard time getting any shenmue utility app to work :(

This is way I hate working on Dreamcast base. Iso/gdi/cdi creation process is painful when you have x64 platform.

[silversons100thaccount]

It is even on x86 :-/

I've been pretty much 50/50

some things decide they want to work on win7-64 only and somethings decide they want to work on winxp-32 only

im glad we made progress on the textures, but i still have no idea where most of the sound effects reside. ive only found a handful of bs sound effects in the stream folder. i know where all the music and speech is though.

got it working. cheers
