Realistic GUI Mod
(Version 8.6)

——————————————

What does this mod change?

* ALL capture map icons for zones hidden (Skirmishes and Campaigns)
* ALL in game dashed line capture zone boundries hidden
* Changed all soldier, vehicle and gun selection boxes smaller by 25%
* Removed all unit circles from non selected units
* Changed Game speed "Slow-Motion" and "Fast-Motion" text to "<<" and ">>"
* Removed timer countdown text from grenades and planted explosives! Boom Boom Pow!
* Health Bars and Repair Bars hidden
* Tank / Vehicle Damage Message texts hidden
* AT / Boysrifle / Panzershrek / Bazooka icons over those units hidden
* Mine Flags redrawn to correct scale and given new alignment (Still slightly hover atm)
* All Medic Tent, Supply / Supply Truck / Fuel Truck refresh radius hidden

(new for this release)
* Soldiers downed and bleeding now do not show a white X but a red blood dot on minimap (Alot of dead in an area looks like a lot of blood on minimap)
* Soldiers animate on being downed and needing healed. (Still buggy why some animate and cannot be saved. WIP)
* Fixed weapon range # on selected units not showing
* Removed bleeding icon over injured soldiers (some people might not like this)
* Removed repairing icon on soldiers repairing
* Changed out of ammo icon to smaller blue / transparent ammo icon
* Reduced size of all Gui markers (Ammo, Officer, Repair, Wood etc)
* Removed all halo02 glows from Gui markers (Fixes the mortar blinding flash bug) (Bug in default Barbwire code)
* Reverse Vehicle GUI guide still left showing as default for now

Suggested load order of mod: VERY LAST. Install all other mods you want to use, exit to main screen, then go back in and load this mod
as the very last one, exit and play.

——————————————

Things I still want to do but cannot figure out why or how to change them —

* Want to remove ALL unneeded icons such as British Medic icons on campaign mission as example. (So far I can’t make them hidden)
* Want to add the missing lit fuse animation from US/UK/RUS satchels and 3kg German bombs but can’t find the key code for it. (Bug in default Barbwire code)
* Want to fix the random bleeding soldier that cannot be healed animation. (Not sure why is happening)
* Want to have the Control Points randomized on map start toggle option but not sure how to code it, may have to be a Barbwire change.

Why was this mod created?

I only play skirmish and campaign missions. This will fit perfectly in those and work well with most mods. I prefer a clean
minimal gui during game play so you can focus on the art and detail. Animations and GUI help graphics, BOTH are not needed at the same time.
Maybe Barbwire will break it all down to a toggle options setting some day.

What other mods / modding experience do I have?

Started ‘Merciless Creations’ which was a 12 man design team for Total Annihlations / Kingdoms and Battlefield 1942.
After the team split, I started on smaller mods or publications here and there have been created at random for games
like Men of War Assault Squad 2 and GOH.

BONUS SECTION — Increase your OST GOH performance —

Remove any and all apps running in memory you do not need… The taskbar / icon. You should have no more than 4 items there if possible.

Install MS PC Manager from the MS Store (Free) and fully clean your system. Check your starting apps and adjust.

Since GOH is a single cpu focused game…

Start GOH to the main menu then alt tab out and open task manager.Select the Details Tab. Right mouse and set the performance priority
to HIGH and then also open Affinity and toggle off 2,4,6,8,10, etc processors. This will reduce the overhead load that GOH is not using
(too many cooks in the kitchen effect).

Alt tab back to the game and it will run better. You will need to do the task manager settings each time you want to play GOH…
but you will notice a big difference.

There are other similar ways of doing this but they can get pretty technical.

Special Thanks to all other mod developers out there working on GOH mods! Thank you for all your hard work!
