📋 About This Mod
Makes the on-screen Down arrow cycle hotbar pages 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 1, with Up cycling in reverse. A two-byte interface fix for DOS2 Definitive Edition’s mouse/keyboard hotbar. No save edits or additional dependencies.
Click Down to cycle hotbar pages 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 1.
Click Up to cycle in reverse: 1 -> 5 -> 4 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1.
This changes the on-screen arrows beside the hotbar, not the keyboard Down key.
Scope and verification
The arrow patch is generic and contains no personal data introduced by our work.
Exactly two bytes differ from the original game interface, reversing the arrow directions.
All embedded text remains identical to the original.
No personal/account markers, save paths, or debug metadata were found.
It has no dependency on your character, profile, save, or mod order.
The author has validated the arrow behavior in the live Windows game.
Compatibility
DOS2 Definitive Edition's mouse/keyboard hotbar.
Other mods replacing hotBar.swf may conflict; controller and other platform support are unverified.
This is a loose interface override; no Script Extender or additional mod is required.
Manual installation
1. Close the game normally after saving your progress.
2. Locate <game installation>/DefEd/Data/.
3. If Public/Game/GUI/hotBar.swf already exists there, back it up before replacing it. It may belong to another UI mod.
4. Extract this archive into <game installation>/DefEd/Data/.
5. Confirm the resulting file is <game installation>/DefEd/Data/Public/Game/GUI/hotBar.swf.
6. Start the game normally. No save editing or mod-order changes are needed.
Removal
Close the game. Remove only the Public/Game/GUI/hotBar.swf installed by this mod, or restore your prior backup if you had another override. Restart normally to use the original packaged interface or your restored override.
