Alchemy Effects on HUD

A simple OBSE64 plugin that shows the alchemy effects on HUD when looking at a plant or ingredient.

It supports two operation modes: can append the list with alchemy effects to the text that is displayed for the item under the crosshair (the default option), or can trick the game into thinking the player is looking at a locked door, the effects being displayed as the lock level (^_^). See the screenshots. See the Configuration section and Settings Overview article for more details.

Since v1. 3. 0 the mod can also show the first few items from a container or dead actor. See the second screenshot.

Doesn't make any permanent changes and can be installed and uninstalled anytime without any side effects.

Installation

Nothing special, install it like any other OBSE64 plugin:

Extract the archive into the Oblivion Remastered game folder. Or extract the included files into the

STEAM_LIBRARY\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Binaries\Win64\OBSE\Plugins folder. Or use a mod manager.

Just make sure the game is launched by running obse64_loader.exe.

Configuration

The mod reads the settings from a file named AlchemyEffectsOnHUD.ini from the same folder as the DLL. The file is created automatically if missing. With the default values the popup looks like in the first screenshot. See the Settings Overview article for more details. Especially for RequiredKey, InvCountInName, OpMode and ContainerItemsCount options.

For the second screenshot I used the following settings, plus the optional UE4SS script.

InvCountInName = true

ContainerItemsCount = 6

ContainerMoreItemsText = "•••"

EffectNamePrefix = "« "

EffectNameSuffix = " »"

Optional UE4SS script

A very simple Lua script that hides the LOCK icon and centers the text under the name when OpMode is 1.

Requires v1. 3. 0+ and, obviously, UE4SS.
