Moving the HUD in games that do not support it

Post by Falesh »

I just started playing Planetside 2 and having 3 monitors I was very pleased with the patch as it made the game playable using all 3. However after a time I went back to using only one because of the difficulty in watching the minimap. Fortunately I have found a solution that is completely safe to use as seen here.

Basically you use a program called OnTopReplica which replicates a part of the screen that you select and then displays that bit as a pinned window on top of all other windows. This means that you have to play the game in Full Screen Windowed mode, or just windowed, which loses a few fps but you can't have everything.

This should work fine with any game that can be played in windowed mode and doesn't support HUD moving. :D

Heeee, that looks like a cool tool!

But that doesn't work well with half transparent maps.
And you still have two times the same Minimap.

But it's better than Nothing!

Thanks for sharing.
We gonna send it to outa space!
