HUD switch

Switch the entire HUD interface in the game with one hotkey

Hogwarts HUD Toggler

🎮 **Hide with one click and capture the magic moment! **

As a player who loves playing games on Steam and taking screenshots to record adventures, I found it very annoying that Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t have a hotkey to hide the entire HUD interface with one click. So, I made this mod to solve this problem!

✨ Module function

The main function of this mod is to turn off the game HUD via a configurable key combination (default is `F9`), allowing you to easily take screenshots and reactivate the HUD instantly.

• 🖼️ **Perfect Screenshot**: Hide all interface elements and capture pure game footage.
• ⚙️ **Smart Preservation**: The mod will only affect the "Subtitles" game setting. Any adjustments you make to the HUD through the User Interface settings will be retained when the HUD is turned on.
• 🔄 **Quick Switch**: One-click on/off, simple and fast operation.

⚠️ **NOTE**: Sometimes the game will activate or deactivate the HUD on its own, and you may need to press the hotkey a few more times to get back to the desired state.

⚙️ Configuration and Customization

**How ​​to keep subtitles enabled**

Since the mod was originally designed for screenshots, it disables subtitles along with the HUD by default. But you can change this setting in the `HogwartsHudToggler.ini` file.

Simply open the `HogwartsHudToggler.ini` file and change `hideSubtitles=1` to **`hideSubtitles=0`**.

**Hotkey Customization**

You can change the default hotkey F9 to any input supported by Unreal Engine! You can change hotkeys or create key combinations to toggle the HUD in the `HogwartsHudToggler.ini` file.

**Edit `HogwartsHudToggler.ini`**

Under the `[hud-toggle]` section you will find the following key=value pairs: `key`, `modifier_key1`, `modifier_key2` and `modifier_key3`.

• `key`: is the main hotkey, the key combination must end with this button.
• `modifier keys`: are the modifier keys that you need to hold down before pressing the main hotkey `key`.

**List of valid key names**:

• List of button names
• EKeys constants (updated)

**Example**:

If you want to use the key combination `CTRL+ALT+H` to toggle the HUD, the ini file should be set up as follows:

```ini

[hud-toggle]

key=H

modifier_key1=LeftControl

modifier_key2=LeftAlt

modifier_key3=

```

You can also bind controller input, but you'll need to figure out which button name corresponds to which key on your controller. I recommend asking chat.openai for help.

At the moment all I can say is, on the Xbox controller:

• X key: `Gamepad_FaceButton_Left`
• Y key: `Gamepad_FaceButton_Top`
• B key: `Gamepad_FaceButton_Right`
• A key: `Gamepad_FaceButton_Bottom`

🔄 Other information

**Alternative installation method**

You can use any DLL injector to inject `HogwartsHudToggler.dll` into your game at any time.

But if you want to change any default settings, you still need to put the ini file into the `(game root directory)\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\` directory.

**Manual Uninstall**

Just delete the `xinput1_3.dll`, `HogwartsHudToggler.dll` and `HogwartsHudToggler.ini` files from the `(game root directory)\Phoenix\Binarie …
