LootAura - Loot Pickup Aura with In-World Tooltips

LootAura

Toggle a fully configurable aura on any character to auto‑loot nearby items/containers/bodies, with in‑world tooltips and highlights so you only open what matters. Stay "hands‑off but in control": pick categories, pick highlight effect, whitelist/blacklist targets, switch between safe and stealing modes, and let the cache-driven pipeline handle performance.

What's new / updated in version 8. 4. 2. 1 !

• []Multi-target Whitelist/Blacklist spells: tag multiple entities per cast (faster marking runs, less menu re-opening).[/]

  []Highlight Locked Containers (optional): new toggle "Highlight Locked Containers" highlights locked containers regardless of what's inside (even empty), independent of highlight filters.[/]

  []New highlight target options: separate toggles to highlight containers, dead/knocked out NPCs, and loose items on the ground.[/]

  []Expanded problematic items blacklist: added more known-problem items to the default blacklist to prevent accidental pickup.[/]

  []Config-change performance improvements: faster/smoother rescan behavior when changing multiple MCM settings at a time.[/]

  []Quest item warning: added an in-menu warning that enabling "Loot quest items" can cause savegame issues.[/]

  []New loot/highlight category: added "CommonGear (grey equipable items)" for both looting and highlighting.[/]

  There are some situations in which the aura will turn off and then reactivate itself, the scenarios are:

  • []Entering combat

    []If the aura owner has Normal or Steal active, the aura is suspended for the duration of combat.[/]

    []The mod remembers which aura you had on (Normal vs Steal) and marks it to be restored after combat.[/]
