Removes the Tips shown at the bottom of the screen over a blue banner while doing various things in game. After countless hours I'm pretty sure we all know how to crouch and move into a bush to hide, how to sprint, and how to drive a car, among other new player tutorial tips.
The blue bannered graphic underneath the words has also been removed. The other icons such as E for searching may be a little jagged around the edges but it could've been worse and it was the best I could do without redoing the whole texture file (which is out of my area of knowledge). Or it could just be my low game settings that makes them look more jagged than usual.
There are one or two tips I left in due to actually being helpful and not repetitive. I don't remember what they are, now, but I haven't seen them come up yet (after 28 levels of BD) so it may only be in storymode that they'll be seen.
Also, once every play session (real time day, I guess) a big blank box pops up on the left (image provided) - when you open your journal, the storage locker and are looting. I can't find where to remove that, if it's even a texture. It might be in another place altogether such as a script and I wouldn't know what to look for in those.
Once I figure out where it is I'll get rid of it, too.
A new game is not required. Works on existing saves. I'm only playing Breakdown but it should work for storymode, too. I haven't tested it, so can't be sure.
