DESCRIPTION

I really like immersion in this game, and have been playing with almost all HUD elements deactivated for quite some time.
One thing always bothered me, though: the buffs. Either you show the buffs, and you get completely anti-immersive little icons in the middle of the screen, or you don't show it, and then you have no way to know the duration of said buffs.

Here comes the mod: if the buffs are set to visible, they will now only show in the radial menu.

Warning: It is still possible to completely hide the buffs, in which case they will never show. This mod only works if the buffs are set to visible.

INSTALLATION

This mod is installed in the standard manner:
Option 1: Download the archive in the file section. Unpack the archive file and copy the 'modBuffInRadialMenu' folder into the 'mods' folder found in
your Witcher 3 game installation.

Option 2: Use Nexus Mod Manager and download using "Download With Manager". Once downloaded, activate to install.

Remember to activate the display of the buffs, otherwise they will never show.

REQUIREMENTS

This mod only works for version 1.08 (or later) of the game.

--- content\scripts\game\gui\hud\modules\hudModuleBuffs.ws

THANKS

Thanks to CD Projekt RED, for providing a mastercrafted game, and an equally enjoyable follow-up afterwards.
Thanks to Gopher, for providing a starting point, a first mod example and even a first template for adding the file to the Nexus (I might call him my inspiration, but it may be slightly exaggerated).
Thansk to TheLastWitcher, for the repositioning tweak.

Thanks to my family and all the people who supported me during the production of this mod (though, I must admit, it didn't take THAT long).

CHANGE LOG

V1.0:
First functional version. Buffs are shown in radial menu if they are set as visible in the ATH configuration.

V1.1:
Improved version to reduce the code modifications in hudModuleBuffs.ws.
Buffs repositioned higher on the screen to stay clear of the signs.
The buffs might show up if the visibility configuration is modified, opening the radial menu will set it right.

V1.2:
Modifications in hudModuleBuffs.ws reverted to 1.0, as 1.1 provided a more unstable functionality.
Repositioning from 1.1 kept.

V1.3:
Module adapted to add buff display during combat.
