Thumbs Up 6 Heart 3

  • I always hope to see this mod and here it is for 3.10! Nice work

    • This is a developmental version of the modification. The way items are discovered in the game has changed significantly, so I had to use different solutions. Thank you for the kind words. I’m looking forward to feedback from the community on what can be improved and enhanced. Of course, instant search is one of the main goals I am striving for :)

    • I always enjoy new people diving into the modding scene. Good luck going forward and please ask people in the discord if you wondering about stuff related to the code. Arys and Drakia always comes in clutch for me.

    • Thanks for the kind words. I think I'm going to need some help now to get the code to work as I want. The support of people who know the code will be very helpful.

    • You sound like a respectful person so I'm sure someone will help you in the mod-development channel. I would help you but I'm new into client modding just as you.

  • The initial delay does not seem to be removed when put to 0 hope you can fix it, other than that great mod!

    • "The initial delay" refers to the container opening, at which point the text "Unsearched" appears, but the grid and items haven’t shown up yet.

      You probably mean shortening the moment when the search sound is played and the grid appears, but the items haven’t been discovered yet.


      I’ve described this in more detail in the comment below.

    • Yeah most likely, would be great if you found a way to disable it too, still though very useful mod thanks for the work

  • hi! Nice work! Could you also reduce searching sound? So annoying when it's louder then other sound effects:(

    • Yeah when reading the name of the mod i hoped for this too

    • I’m still working on finding a way to regulate or skip the search sound (it introduces delays). Of course, this is just the pre-release of the modification.

      Thank you for any observations and feedback :)


      In version 3.10, the loot search method in the game has changed as follows:

      1. "Initial delay" – a constant 2 seconds * our multiplier (default = 1.0 / adjustable = 0.5 / instant = 0.0),
      2. "Search sound" – introduces a delay, and I haven’t found a way to skip it yet,
      3. "Search time" – a calculated factor based on the "attention" and "searching" skills, a random item discovery time (from 1 to 3) * our multiplier for item discovery (default = 1.0 / adjustable = 0.5 / instant = 0.0).

    • Could try replacing the sound file with a 0 sec empty one and seeing what happens

    • I'm looking for a way to bypass this in the code by making the appropriate modification
