Remove Drawings and Points with f5

To make pretty screenshots, its quick and easy to hit f5 and remove the GUI (special widgets aside) to get a clear view. However, ugly lines and points still appear on the map, ruining a potential epic scene.

Barring that (because some people might want points in their images) a mass-erase button or command would be nice.

Spring.MarkerErasePosition might work too. Although that actually erases the marks.

Most i could do would be to second his request.

It would be nice if we could turn off markers and drawing hostside. I don't know if this is still possible but you used to be able to crash games just by

a. Spamming drawings / points
b. Suddenly erasing many lines

It would be nice if the host was in control of these things.

There is no reason to make it disableable host-side when:
  • it works (and does not crash the host)
  • you can disable them for you with (/mapmarks 0)

then u could bind /mapmarks 0 to f5 and /mapmarks 1 to e.g. f4?

in live for speed you can also hide the ingame interface.
its done in a quite cool way, pressing the buttons hides more stuff each time you press.

example:

press F5:
markers & lines disappear
press F5 again:
everything except minimap disappears (usefull when doing commented replays)
press F5 again:
everything disappears
press F5 again:
everything reappears

you will have to cycle the modes but its the same with the cameras which is ok i think.
