📋 About This Mod
Version 2. 0
This mod now requires HUD Mod Loader. Please see installation instructions if you have not been using it.
The big features changes for this version are:
-
[]No need to remap the M key.
[
]Full controller support with on-screen keyboard and menu for favorites.Before You Begin
You will need to remap Fallout 76's Quick Map keybinding or any time you hit the M key while searching, the map will close. I do not know how to change this action, it is not controlled by the UI files I can modify.
Description
I readily admit that I'm not good an remembering every location on the Fallout 76 map. Now I don't have to.
This mod allows you to type text on the map screen and it will highlight locations with names that contain the text you are searching for. It also provides the ability to see locations that you have not yet discovered.
Using the mod is straightforward. On the map screen, press the search key (default F5), type the text to search for, and hit enter. Matching locations will be highlighted by a circle. You can then use the next/previous keys to center on them.
If you start a search and do not type anything before hitting enter, all locations will be selected. Hint: combined with toggling to show only undiscovered locations, this is great for finding places you have yet to visit.
Localization
As of the version 2. 0 release, this mod is should support any keyboard layout.
To support most Latin-based languages, strings are compared using a method that ignores any accent or inflection marks.
For players using keyboard and the Russian language, the new input method should work without any modification. Let me know if it does not, I cannot test this myself. For players using controllers and the Russian language, please see the "language" option in the .ini file as discussed below.
For Asian languages, please help me test! I do not know whether the new input method allows building the complex characters or not.
For players using controlelrs and Asian languages... please don't ask. I would need to have the code to build the complex characters myself and that is beyond my current .
