Clean HUD for "STALKER - Lost Alpha:Developers Cut". Compatible with "No Minimap" mod by Henry1491 (recommended!). Read the description please ->
- I recommend setting the "Show crosshair" and "Show watch" to OFF in Options / Game
- I recommend using my "Clean HUD" mod alongside the "No minimap" mod by Henry1491, use the version "Ui No Compass" from the mod archive. Installation notes and download links are at the bottom of this description. This way, you will get very clean HUD but you will still have the health, stamina, baterry, fuel etc indicators + indication of bleeding.
Features:
- removed the rusty metal backgrounds
- removed the circles around icons (thirst, satiety, bleeding...)
- decreased colour saturation on all bars (health, stamina...) by 20% to better fit the grim setting
- these bars and the "glass" they are stored in are slightly fading out when reaching towards 100%
- removed North/South arrows on the map
- removed scratched glass texture on the map, making it slightly easier to read (hard to notice)
- every default function of the HUD is kept
Result:
- less intrusive HUD for better immersion

Installation of Clean HUD:
- download and unzip the file
- place the file in the folder you created inside your LA:DC installation, for example: "C:\Lost Alpha\gamedata\textures\ui" so the file ends up directly in the "ui" folder.
- in Options/Game you must set the interface to "new style"
Installation of No Minimap mod (Ui No Compass version):
- download Moddb.com
- extract the zip file and navigate to the folder "Ui No Compass", this folder contains 6 files
- place all the files inside the folder you created inside your LA:DC installation, for example: "C:\Lost Alpha\gamedata\config\ui" so the files end up directly in the "ui" folder.
Uninstall:
- simply delete the files and the default HUD will be loaded next time you run the game.
Make sure your game is mod ready:
- check if your "fsgame.itx" located inside the "lost alpha" folder is looking like this on a 2nd line, must be "true, true" to enable mods: "$game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$|gamedata\"
Thanks and good hunting, Stalkers!
HybOj
Great work! Thanks a lot.
For even better immersion (!!!) I recommend using my "Clean HUD" mod in combination with the "no minimap" mod by Henry1491. You will find the download links and detailed installation notes in the description of my "Clean HUD" mod.
Hi, the mod is awesome. Fantastic job.
Can you make time and date from minimap move to lower left corner.
For (Lost Alpha - Patch 1.4002)?
Thanks, with this mod I aim for a clean HUD, so I dont turn "time and date" ON at all (turn "show watch" off - is a recomended setting)
You can see this info in your inventory anyway, so IMO no need to have it on screen when this is about clean screen :) I dont mod anymore, would be hard to get into it again, sorry
An update for the new LA release?
Really great mod. very well done. I like the how crisp it is.
Ok after installing it properly according to MY OWN tutorial I can gladly confirm that:
- this mod works with 1.4007
- this mod works with LA DC Compilation
I really recommend using this with the Compilation! That mod has already removed the minimap (and I support that decision) and my mod compliments that nicely with less intrusive HUD, as it was meant to be from the beginning in 2017
Question; the zip file only has 1 file, the install instructions mention that 6 in a folder (it doesn't say if they're from the zip file, or some unmentioned 2nd file dl), is this correct?
Tried out using the install method (and making sure that my .ltx file had the change, it does) had no effect.
Question; does changing the first line in that same .ltx file undo the 2nd line? Cause, I just realized that I made that in error (getting sleepy).
Was a dum dum, followed the no mini map install directions, not the actual instructions.
