Information
Hotkeys Improved is a simple user interface mod that primarily adds another five hotbars and hotkeys for the player.
It's targeted primarily towards people who want something that is plug-and-play, with minimal fuss. It's designed around playing on a PC or Laptop.
Design Priorities
- Ease of Use
- As close to Vanilla as possible
- Quality before Quantity
- Light Customization, anything that is added functionality on top of what vanilla can do is a toggle in the settings.
Features
Implemented
- Up to five extra Hotbars, for a total of six.
- Customizable modifier keys per hotbar.
- Re-implemented (as close as possible) vanilla interfaces for spell selection and item selection.
- Toggling the vanilla QuickKeys menu (for removing old hotkeys without restarting).
- Option: Display the currently activate hotbar on the HUD. (Default: Off, Vanilla: Off) (Experimental)
- Option: Disable Automatic Stance Changes. (Default: Off, Vanilla: Off)
- Option: Show extended tooltip information in ZHI Tooltips. (record ids, hidden weapon stats, alchemy effects etc). (Default: Off, Vanilla: Off)
Planned/Considering
- Done
Option: Display Hotbar(s) on HUD while playing, possibly the one modifier (if any) is pressed for. - Dynamic resolution scale separate from OpenMW Interface Scale.
- Individual bindings per hotbar/key.
- Option to display all enabled hotbars on hotbar HUD.
- Ability to move hotbar HUD.
- Ability to switch hotbar HUD to vertical.
Requirements
- OpenMW Development Build 0.49 or later. Downloads | OpenMW
Compatibility
- ZHI is incompatible with any mod that fundamentally changes the behavior of OpenMWs default UI. For example, UIModes does not work with ZHI. Fixing this incompatibility comes down to making ZHI less user-friendly which is currently not the plan. I may release a compatibility patch for this later.
Installation
- Download the latest file from the downloads page.
- Extract to wherever you keep your OpenMW mods.
- In the OpenMW launcher, go to "Data Directories" and add the folder from the archive.
- In the OpenMW launcher, go to "Content Files" and enable "ZerkishHotkeysImproved.omwscript"
- Start the game and follow the instructions on screen.
- Open settings and setup up hotbars to your liking.
- Test out the mod, if it works as expected and you like it; endorse and help others find it!
Known Issues
- The player is able to assign the same modifier to more than one hotbar, which will result in the first one (numerically) being used.
- The player is required to clear the bindings from the default QuickKeys menu for the mod to work properly. This is due to limitations in the OpenMW Lua API. A notification is shown the first time the player starts the game with the mod enabled, as well as directing them to the default menu to ensure it's cleared.
- No localization.
- Tooltips do not mimic vanilla appearance. It does not appear to be possible to center one part of a window and left align another while allowing size to grow dynamically. "Expand to fill" for flex slots would be required.
- Tooltips are docked below their respective screens instead of following the mouse, this is due to limitations in OpenMW regarding absolute coordinates for the cursor.
- The experimental hotbar HUD does not respond to changing resolution. Workaround by pressing any of the modifier keys or otherwise triggering an update.
