Remove HUD Entities lets you to remove all the GSC Hud Entities from the demo.

This makes easy to remove some of the Hud text you can't normally hide by setting dvars (for example the alive counters of the OpenWarfare mod).

Note: you may want to keep the +5 popups and the hitmarkers (they are Hud entities too) in your movie, you can achieve this by checking Keep Kill Scores and Keep Hit Markers too.

Remove Chat Msg will remove any chat message from the demo (no longer need of "/cg_chatheight 0").

Remove Client Msg will remove any client notification (like PB messages etc..).

Remove Server Msg will remove any server message (including game notifications like "xxx recovered the explosives" etc..).

Please note:
Some Hud elements are not GSC Hud Entities and cannot be removed by this functionality (for example health bar, match timer etc..), but they can be hidden in the traditional way by settings some dvars.
So you have to use these new remove functionalities in conjunction with the Remove Dvars function (to avoid dvar resetting) and set the right dvar values in your movie cfg to have everything hidden.
