You like to focus on the story ?
You enjoy the action, but you hate the tedious manual looting afterwards ?
You are a bit paranoid that you might miss things, that you would like to loot ?

Look no further, you have come to the right spot:
Try AutoLoot (MSF) and enjoy a fast, reliable and easy-to-use looting experience.

I made this mod with user-friendliness in mind.

It may not look "fancy", but has some features i was missing, when using other auto loot mods:
a higher rate of scan cycles (up to 4 per second)
less (no?) "microstuttering" (the result of code improvement)
a simple and understandable filter logic
and a Line Of Sight mechanic for greater immersion

includes a bunch of fixes/tweaks to make your "loot experience" as smooth as possible
clears all POI (with loot) automatically (if the target container doesn't need special handling)
works when playing as Ciri
works in and under water (loot drops are teleported to the water surface)

Installing this autoloot mod is NO rocket science...just follow the instructions in the readme.txt.

But beware, every autoloot mod will have a major impact on your economic situation, you are about to become a hoarder :)

In order to tone down this effect i suggest mods like:

//for loot lists:
Reduced Lore Friendlier Loot or
Loot List Remade
No Decorative Container Looting (recommended)

//for prices:
Lore Friendly Economy - Next Gen (recommended)
or parts of LEGO:
Deleveled Gear Buying Selling Servicing Prices
Cheaper Lore Friendlier Shop Prices
Shops don't pay for Junky Junk
or use other mods with similar effects...

here are some mods i use atm, taken from my big mod list, which i can totally recommend:

BiA
Complete Animations Redux
CROW
Blood and Steel
E3ARP
Faster Fatties / Fatter Fatties
GLS + Difficulty Addon
No Decorative Containers
No Duplicate Relics
Level Up Equipped
Loot List Remade
Lore Friendly Economy
Balanced Damage Scaling
Balanced Item Levels
Alchemy
Progress On The Path
Random Encounters Reworked
VladUI

Special mention of All Containers Glow without Witcher Senses, an absoulute must have mod if you like to recognize lootable stuff...
It also fixes the "duplicate container" problem with an ingenious "dupecheck" (great stuff by error_noaccess)...just give it a try

AutoLoot (MSF) enables you to protect important items like quest items, keys and witcher schematics to make sure that the risk to break quests is minimized.

It introduces a line of sight feature for greater immersion: you should not loot things you cannot see or are out of reach.

It features a filter system that makes it possible to loot exactly the stuff you would like to have or to loot all the crap without filtering.

The user can take loot from all sources (Enable Separate Loot Sources = OFF)
or opt to take loot from separate loot sources only (Enable Separate Loot Sources = ON)

Options:
1) clutter (chests/bags) and/or
2) actor remains (corpses) and/or
3) herb plants (herbs)

filter checks explained:
remember: all filter conditions must be met, to pass the filter check !
(i.e. <type> AND <quality> AND <value> have to match)

examples:
ARMOR Filter ON / QUALITY 1 / VALUE 0               -->  grabs any armor
ARMOR Filter ON / QUALITY 2 / VALUE 0               -->  takes armor with a quality higher than common
ARMOR Filter ON / QUALITY 1 / VALUE 100           -->  grabs armor with a value of at least 100
ARMOR Filter ON / QUALITY 2 / VALUE 100           -->  takes armor with a quality higher than common and a value of at least 100
ARMOR Filter OFF                                                      -->  loots no armor
eezy, peezy ;)

control keys ("hotkeys") explained:
"hotkeys" have 2 states: TIP to SHOW and HOLD to TOGGLE the status
KEY 1: show/toggle AUTOMATIC mode:         off means you have to activate the containers yourself, skips loot popup (in most cases)...
KEY 2: show/toggle Filters:                               off means you bypass further checks and try to loot all available items...
KEY 3: show/toggle Line Of Sight Check:        try to keep this option always activated to gain some immersion...turn off if you don´t trust this check...
(hint: you cannot change mod menu settings with these "hotkeys", they are just a quick method to view/change automode/filters/line of sight in game,
so if you open your mod menu and close it again, the game will take all your settings from the menu and overwrite any changes you made with your "hotkeys")

line of sight explained:
Just wander around and try to get an unobstructed view on the object you like to loot, often it is necessary  to move closer to trigger the loot process.
If you are real close and AutoLoot (MSF) fails to loot automatically, you could do the following:
a) disable the Line Of Sight feature temporarily by using the hotkey,
     if looting is triggered, something was obstructing the LoS,
     if not the object may be protected and has to be activated manually
b) if you see an interaction button, just activate this object manually

With the help of Mod Settings Framework by the fabulous SpontanCombust i was able to create a clear data structure fitting this mod perfectly.
I tried to reduce as much redundant/unneeded code as possible, thus enhancing (code) readability, stability and performance.
You definitely will feel the difference :D

Furthermore i tried to apply good programming style i witnessed in other mods.
(sorry,  Aelto i am still using a timer, cause states and latent functions are still "over my head", but i still try to follow KISS and YAGNI)

tools i used:
notepad++ esp. its compare plugin for editing/creating the scripts
Rusty Witcher 3 Debugger for quickly reloading gamescripts (by SpontanCombust)
w3stringsx for localisations (by SpontanCombust)

Should you find any bugs please report them, i will try my best to resolve them.

Feedback welcome.

Please, be kind and respectful in your comments, i am by no means a professional programmer,
modding is just a hobby, that keeps my brain busy.

If you like this mod, a little endorsement would be great.

happy hoarding !
