Some words
It's my first mod on Nexus and I have to dig into a lot of files to cherry-pick game objects. So please be patient. :) I'm quite limited for request, some issues are Larian's one and something like SearchTheRoom is relying on script, something I have no knowledge in right now.
If you want to contact me I'm on discord : hash0000 (Don't spam me, please :D)
- 19 modules, letting you customize your highlight with what you want (Hatches and doors not yet available)
- All in one Edition (Merge of all modules excepted the Wanderer, Collector, Secret, Trap, and SearchForBlood a special request)
- Loose planks, breakable walls and a lot more highlights (Secret Edition) - Coffin/Sarcophagus highlight (Coffin Edition) - Wall climb highlight (Wanderer Edition) - Rows of books and library highlight (Library Edition) - Furniture containers highlight (Furniture Edition) - Highlight valuable wines (Alcohol Edition) - Highlight valuable items like paintings and seashells (Collector Edition) (for now all paintings, need more insights on valuable ones)
- Change the color of lever, button, specific action (English and French localization)
- Highlight containers missing in the vanilla tooltip (crates, barrels, burlap sack, vase, etc...) (Depending on the chosen Edition, vases, crates, barrels, burlap sack are in separate Editions)
- Less performance heavy than other highlight mods (Only the necessary files are modified, the majority of the highlight mods apply 3 or 4 times the same parameter to one object, this one applies it only to the parent files which then apply the parameter to the children. Example : Vases is only one file in this mod, reducing the load on your alt input)
What this mod doesn't do :
- Highlight everything
What is planned :
- Add a Foodie module (removing useless food like carrots) - Further improvement - Change the color of hidden/secret items to purple
How to report items shown or missing :
I would like to have a track of items missing or to add (containers/valuables/hidden/important), so for this reason, give me their name in the BUGS section and try to keep things organized, even if I try to have all of this on my computer already.
Recommended mods to use with :
- Hide looted containers + custom toggle (Unfortunately no longer available, but you can download as optional files on the page of my mod)
- BetterLoot (Giving you more loot and less empty containers, not tested yet, but compatible)
Installation :
Use BG3 Mod manager, not tested with Vortex but should work. Use Mod fixer at launch of a new game or after only if you encounter issues. Drop the .pak file in your mod folder (C:\Users\*you*\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods) Refresh mod manager. Save the load order. Play.
Uninstallation :
Like most mods, remove the file. You can safely remove the mod on an ongoing save.
Compatibility :
Should be compatible with all mods, except those that change containers properties or level files for items. Working for me with more than 50 mods.
Known issues :
- Waiting your feedback
Suggested features :
- Add a toggle which trigger for one quick Alt input and also keep the vanilla hold input
