Enhanced Bounties

Who is Enhanced Bounties?

Enhanced Bounties is not a "who," but I am! I'm just a gamer and tech geek who enjoys programming and problem solving. Sometimes I use these powers for good.

What is Enhanced Bounties?

Enhanced Bounties monitors the player character's inventory, including worn items, and displays to the player the overall quantity and total gold value of all stolen items.

When is Enhanced Bounties?

Enhanced Bounties updates its stored values whenever items enter or leave the tracked inventories, as well as when the addon is first loaded.

Where is Enhanced Bounties?

A new text label is added alongside the bounty display of the Infamy UI, showing the details of stolen items so long as the player has a bounty and is carrying stolen items. When arrested by a guard, the dialog option to pay the bounty includes the same information.

Why is Enhanced Bounties?

I was previously using the addon True Bounty, made by kawamonkey, but I was dissatisfied that it only displayed the information in the "pay bounty" arrest dialog option. With True Bounty as my basis, I decided to create something similar, however with a number of technical improvements and the addition of an Infamy UI component to display the information "live" to the player.

How is Enhanced Bounties?

It's doing well, I think. Bits don't speak, so I can't be sure. How it functions is simple. Whenever an event occurs that involves an item entering or leaving the bag or worn items inventories, the addon will take stock of all stolen items in those two inventories and their gold value. The data of the "pay bounty" arrest dialog option is also overridden, replacing the existing dialog text with an updated version including the information tracked by this addon if the player has stolen items in their possession.

Due to the nature of how dialog option overriding must function, I cannot promise Enhanced Bounties will or even can be compatible with other addons which might modify dialog options.
