Description

Please give us API commands to disable certain engine-side vanilla features such as:

Vehicle Repair / Refuel / Rearm: Remove repair action from service trucks and engineer units
Medical system: Remove screen blur effect / heal actions / add some proper setBloodTexture commands that dont require us to trick around with damage numbers to get bloody body parts
HUD elements: Vehicle HUD, player HUD etc.

Many modders, from small "better repair scripts" to total conversions, run against these limitations time and again, and the only approach is usually to overwrite all and everything with configs rather than have a proper, modular approach where users can configure how things work for each mission.

Ability to disable various elements of UI would be most welcome too.

You can not disable those UI elements, but you can drag them out of the screen.

Just go to configure-> game -> layout and play around with the UI elements

He's talking about disabling script-wise, for use in mods.

What good is a total conversion mod if it requires you to manually drag around vanilla UI elements? None whatsoever.
