Delete the file "config.cfg" in your Red Eclipse save directory. The location of this directory depends on your Operating System:

Linux: ~/.redeclipse
Windows: [My] Documents\My Games\Red Eclipse
Mac: /Users/<name>/Library/Application Support/redeclipse

Fedora's package probably puts the configuration in someplace weird like "~/.config/redeclipse/" or some other hidden directory in the user's home. You'd have to ask the package maintainer if you can't discern this yourself (ls -la ~), or hope someone else around here uses Fedora and knows the answer. In general, we recommend installing Red Eclipse from the download link on our site, and unfortunately cannot hope to cater for the way each different Linux distribution decides to put the data. It'd be nice if they just left the default location the hell alone, rather than leave us to try to answer these types of requests. At the very least, they could contribute to our wiki leaving system specific details (something to think of if you find the answer).

You could always try /exec config/defaults.cfg. That replaces all (or most) of your settings.

But for future reference you should try and find out here your configs.cfg file is, and then tell us.

The problem here is you have changed options which disabled the HUD elements, either intentionally via the menus or unintentionally by pressing or running the wrong thing. If you can find your config.cfg and delete it, everything will reset to default again and you will be able to play. This is easier than trying to figure out which of the multitude of variables you have changed.

Maybe try this.. open a terminal and type (from ~):
{l Code}: {l Select All Code}
find . -iname 'config.cfg'


Might tell you where it is..
