Can you turn the hud off in Chasm?

The gameplay trailer and promotional images have no hud, but all the gameplay videos I've found on Youtube show the hud. Is it an option in game or did the developer use some special developer's version to disable the hud?
Its a developer command, but you should be able to do it yourself in the PC version. In the folder where your Chasm.exe is, there is a config.ini you can modify (this is different than the one in My documents\Chasm). Add the line:

HideHUD=1

That should do the trick, but just a heads up I think it may possibly break saving since all UI stuff like the popup confirmations are suppressed.

Yes, that breaks saving.

Is there a way to bind the command to a key to toggle it on / off or bind HideHUD=1 to F3 (for example) and HideHUD=0 to F4 so that I can play without a hud but still be able to save?

I tried entering the command into the console, but it doesn't recognize the command outside the config.ini file.
I just pushed up a new update 1.076a that should fix this. Please let me know if you have any trouble!
Just wanted to say thank you for the update. It works great.

Quick question, how do I take screenshots in game? When I try with the print screen button, I just get a black rectangle with the resolution of the screen when I try to paste it into an image program.

This seems to be a common issue with a lot of games. Some games work with print screen, but a lot don't.
You're welcome! Yea thats common because Windows can't properly access openGL stuff fullscreen. There's no built in method to the game, but a common solution a lot of people use is Fraps. It will let you record video as well as take screenshots.
Fraps worked. Thanks for letting me know it could do that. I just thought it was for recording video.
