About this mod
Texture mod for LE3 which makes HUD circle, the one that highlights interactable NPCs and objects, less intrusive and standing out.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
The vanilla activator HUD circle is way too intrusive, to the point it can cover the face of the NPC Shep talks to. There is already a great mod that remedies that problem, Reduced Interaction Circle HUD which I was using myself. But I thought that particular HUD element could be even more subtle, so it wouldn't be that much attention-catching and scream "hey, I'm here, interact with me!". So I made this little mod, to give you four additional options to modify that element.
I could try to describe how different options look, but it'd be best if you just look at the pics in the images tab. There's one for every option showing how the circle looks when Shep's far from activator / close to it but not focused on it (on the left) and how when Shep's close and focused (on the right). Options C, D and, especially, E are intended for players who'd like those interactable objects/NPCs to be harder to find*, because with these three options they will higlight only when Shep is close and focused on them.
* just like they used to be in the games of old, when the world was young...
(UN)INSTALLATION
- First, make sure you've installed all your desired DLC mods before installing any texture mods (like this one).
- Unzip downloaded file and you'll end up with six .mem files and one .png file with preview of available options.
- Open Mass Effect Modder (if you run it from ME3Tweaks then you'll find it under Tools), and choose Texture Modding --> Install Texture Mods in ME3 section. Now choose Add to list and navigate to the ONE of the LE3_HUD_circle.mem files you've chosen, open it. Click Install all mods and wait for a moment. That's it, mod installed.
If you want to return to vanilla circle without restoring your whole game and installing mods from scratch, just open Mass Effect Modder once again and install LE3_HUD_circle_vanilla.mem file you'll find among my mod's files. The same way you can replace one texture with another without restoring the whole game.
SPECIAL THANKS
My thanks go to:
- BioWare for hundreds of hours of my life stolen by their games. And I could've been a known scientist instead, or something...
- tatafornow for Reduced Interaction Circle HUD, which inspired me to make this mod and also for their texture I used and modified slightly
- Mgamerz and everyone behind ME3Tweaks Mod Manager and Mass Effect Modder
- GIMP team for GIMP, which I used to modify textures
DONATIONS
If you feel supportive, best think about helping some worthy cause - a local charity, for example. But if you really feel like it, you can buy me a thermal clip, so I can hold the line a little bit longer.
