About this mod

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
This is an update to the original mod created by erxv
I have added a glowing eyes effect to the medallion that reacts to proximity of creatures and magic

Installation and usage instructions are similar to the original mod

Some Instructions have been updated for W3 v4.04 (NextGen)
(Original Mod instructions found here)
(the mod controls have been updated)

If you dont follow the installation instructions step by step, it's not going to work



A 3D Dynamic Medallion added to the HUD inspired by Witcher 1. Mod
includes both Geralt's Wolf Medallion and Ciri's Cat medallion when
playing as Ciri. Medallion will vibrate when nearing monsters or magic
and the eyes will glow brighter the closer you get.
 various settings can be customized (see below).


Ingame menu settings:

Go to Options -> Mods -> Medallion Mod


Orientation: Choose whether the medallion is facing directly at the camera or facing slightly right

Controller Vibration:: Yes means whenever the medallion starts to vibrate, the controller will vibrate for a second.

Medallion Visibility:

   Never Show: Never show medallion (healthbar will follow vanilla rules)
   Always Show: Will always show the medallion (healthbar will follow vanilla rules)
   Always Show + HUD: Always show medallion and healthbar
   Dynamic (Recommended): Shows Medallion whenever Healthbar is visible, also automatically makes Healthbar visible when Medallion is Vibrating!

When first loading the mod, please enter the mod menu and select a preset (start with 1080P) And adjust as needed
otherwise the medallion will be positioned incorrectly.

//
----------------------------------------------------------------------------//

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
class CModRegistry extends CModFactory {
protected function createMods() {
// add mod creation calls here, like this:
//
// add(modCreate_()); // ...

// see example dir
//add(modCreate_ExampleMod());
//add(modCreate_ExampleEntityMod());
//add(modCreate_UiExampleMod());
       add(modCreate_MedallionMod());
}
}

Extra Info (medallion position):

Some suggestions if you using a resolution other than 1080:
Choose the "0" preset and then go back to the game, the medallion should be in the center of the screen.
If you still don't see it, try set the scale to something larger. If its still not there, try push it backwards in Y (try 0.4)

Once you see the medallion, then its just a case of adjusting it in X and Z to get it into the right spot. you can fine tune the position by selecting it on the menu and pressing "a" and "d" on the Keyboard to fine adjust (you will hear a audio effect for each move)
suggest  x - 0.357, z - 0.198

Compatibility:
If the mod doesn't work check if you have script conflicts with scriptmerger
