Always Show Approvals

Overview

The game doesn't display approval notifications for companions after their player approval rating is exceptional (100). This is unfortunate because you won't learn what your favorite character likes in later acts.

This includes 2 mods that address this in alternative ways:

• []AlwaysShowApprovals - Displays a dialog in the format "${Character} approved." for any character with maxed out approval that just approved.

  []AlwaysShowApprovals - WithScores - Displays a dialog in the format "${Character} ${ApprovalChange} ({$CurrentApproval})" (for example "Shadowheart +5 (95%)" ) for all approval events.

Requirements

This mod requires ScriptExtender in order to work.

[]Make sure that only one variant of the mod AlwaysShowApprovals is installed at a time. Do not install both AlwaysShowApprovals and AlwaysShowApprovals - With Scores.

[]Preferably I'd actually show a banner that matches the standard approval notification. However, I haven't figured out how to do this using the available public APIs, so I've decided to use the generic notification banner instead. Unfortunately, this notification banner doesn't have delay controls and by default dismisses very quickly.

[*]Update: Currently it seems unlikely that I'll be able to implement real-time approval UI because, from what I can gather, this UI can't be controlled by ScriptExtender Lua scripts, it needs to be triggered from data found in a different environment, probably native C++ code that's isolated from the scri
