This mod is meant to change the way enemies are displayed using the Targeting skill or the Recon Scope sight.


I had been trying to create this mod with xedit since game release but unfortunately I always ran into "REFL", then I finally found the texture.

If you want to comment, please use the thread in the forum tab, cause posts section is closed and I don't know why.



## There are 2 options available:

- Main file - apply only the texture file and maintain the vanilla perk (visual only, see images).

- Optional file - add the .esm to have these benefits (and finally USE this perk):

-- Targeting perk changes
Rank 1: mark 1 enemy in 50 meters (vanilla= 25m), duration 1 min (vanilla 10sec).
Rank 2: mark 2 enemies in 75 meters (vanilla= 50m), duration 2 min (vanilla 10sec). Unlock with 50 kills (same as vanilla).
Rank 3: mark 3 enemies in 100 meters (vanilla= 75m), duration 3 min (vanilla 10sec). Unlock with 100 kills (vanilla= 125).
Rank 4: mark 4 enemies in 150 meters (vanilla= 100m), duration 5 min (vanilla 10sec). Unlock with 150 kills (vanilla= 250).

-- Recon scope (weapon mod) changes
Marking lasts for 5 minutes (vanilla 10sec), changed to mark enemies only.
If you are using a weapon with that scope when you load a game, switch the weapon once to enable the effect (this is a vanilla game bug, even without the mod).

-- The .esm integrates a fix from the Starfield Community Patch (same value modified), so if you have it,
just put this mod UNDER SCP in the plugins.txt load order: first Starfield Community Patch (up), then this mod (down).



## Installation

- Texture (visual only), only manual installation for now:

for this one, you need to enable loose files, adding those lines to your "StarfieldCustom.ini":

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

-- Download Main file "Recon Targeting Effect - Visual Only", extract the "Data" folder in your "C:\Users\ YOUR NAME \Documents\My Games\Starfield" dir.

###

- Plugin .esm (Targeting perk and Recon Scope mod):

for this one, you need "Plugins.txt Enabler".

-- Download Optional file "Recon Targeting Effect - Mod esm", extract the "Data" folder in your game dir, example:
   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starfield".

-- now add this line to your plugins.txt, under Starfield Community Patch if you have it:

*Recon_Targeting_Effect.esm



## Uninstall

- Remove the files and the line from plugin.txt.



## Notes:

- If you want to just completely get rid of the visual effect you need this mod: "Targeting perk - no enemies glow".
-- If you have the above mod and you want to use my mod instead, you need to uninstall it by removing the file:
   "Starfield\Data\scripts\targetingeffectscript.pex".

- Until it's not possible to modify REFL safely, I cannot completely eliminate the effect that overlaps objects between us and enemies.
  But at least now it's much better with the modified texture.

- Feel free to translate the .esm, I'll add it to the translations section.
  You can find English and Italian esms in the download section, optional files.

- If you have another esm mod that modifies Targeting perk, you can:
-- uninstall it and install mine to prevent conflicts,
-- use only my mod Main file (texture).
