Hey, all.
I am a relative newbie to cheat engine but I have been slowly working my way through tutorials this past week.
Anyways, I am working on trying to toggle the HUD in Lord of the Rings: War in the North. I was able to toggle the HUD in Risen 1 using this advice I found in another post.

Go through the list, changing the values to 0. Eventually, you will find the values that draw the various parts of the GUI; color, transparency, size modifiers etc.
These values usually have an address with a small value (i.e. somewhere near the beginning of the game code). |
I know this is just a small thing but I really want to figure out how to do this. Because I ultimately want to be able to use CE to toggle the HUD in other games, mainly older SP games so I can take screenshots and such.
I'd appreciate any advice. Please keep it simple. I am up to pointers in the tutorials so far and have found values with them. I am learning!
Thanks so much.
Cheers.

| If bringing up a pause menu, accessing another screen etc. causes the HUD to be turned off, you can try searching for your boolean using that.

Thanks again for your response. Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you.
Yes, once in the escape menu the HUD is toggled off. I tried searching for the boolean. I had to look that up in order to learn how to do that haha. I searched 1-255 for true (HUD enabled) & 0 for false (HUD disabled while in menu).
I was able to narrow down the search results to a small number of addresses but I just can't find anything to toggle the hud. So I kinda have my hands up in the air right now but I just wanted to update you on my progress.
Thanks again.

| I wouldn't limit your search parameters as you never know what value(s) the developer decided to use. Search for all value types, changed/unchanged, if you're not finding anything useful.
