Summary	0003655: g_showhud should be removed from Darkmod.cfg
Description	When a mapper wants to present a player view that doesn't include HUD elements, it's difficult to manage turning those elements off and on piecemeal. One method that allows turning the HUD off (and back on) in one line of code is to toggle the g_showhud cvar. If the player enters the special state, and the HUD is turned off, and the game is saved and mission exited before the HUD is turned back on, that condition persists into the next mission via the archiving of g_showhud in Darkmod.cfg. There are no user menus for turning off the HUD, so HUD visibility shouldn't be archived. We need to remove g_showhud from the code that archives to and restores from Darkmod.cfg.

AluminumHaste 19.01.2014 19:28 developer ~0006350	Code changed, Grayman can you build the new binaries? I would do it, but I've got other local changes that can't go into 2.01.

grayman 21.01.2014 19:48 viewer ~0006351	This code change needs to be rolled back. The cvar wasn't meant to be used the way we're using it.
