📋 About This Mod
Installation
Unpack "Red Chest Markers" into ".\SK_Res\inject\textures\NieRAutomata.exe\".
If you don't have the SK_Res folder, make sure to run the game at least once with SpecialK (previously known as FAR) installed.
Uninstallation
Delete ".\SK_Res\inject\textures\NieRAutomata.exe\Red Chest Markers".
I often had issues telling the chest marker apart from other icons, specially save points.
Most icons are blue, so I made it red like the rest of icons that want to grab your attention (like quest markers).
Sometimes Special K seems to fail to load textures, even after displaying the "X textures" loaded popup.
A restart usually fixes it, in case this happens to you too.
