A Listing of All Heads-Up Displays (HUDs) Available in DSMod.exe

If you are not aware of these HUDs you should really look into them as they provide invaluable information on the game engine state and decision making processes.

The first list of HUDs provide information on the object under the cursor:

  • Alt-F5 - Mind Probe (2 modes). Place cursor over anything with Mind component.
  • Alt-F6 - Body Probe. Place cursor over anything with Body component; also shows Inventory.
  • Alt-F7 - Aspect Probe. Place cursor over anything with Aspect component.
  • Alt-1 - Object HUD. Place cursor over any object.

To lower these huds, press the key sequence when the cursor is NOT over anything.

These HUDs can be toggled regardless of cursor position:

  • Alt-2 - Actors HUD
  • Alt-3 - Items HUD
  • Alt-4 - Commands HUD
  • Alt-5 - Misc HUD
  • Alt-6 - all objects HUD
  • Alt-7 - HUD labels toggle
  • Alt-F8 - Net Probe (not relevant in Single Player mode)

Please note that the HUDs and the console are mutually exclusive. Also, if you have problems getting the HUDs to come up, try removing the contents of Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Dungeon Siege\Keys.
