📋 About This Mod
Notification will be shown for these special order objectives:
-
[]Collect (obtain item)
[
]Fish (obtain by fishing)[]Gift (Qi's kindness)
[]Slay (slay monster)
[]ReachMineFloor (mines/skull cavern)
[]JKScore (junimo kart endless score)
Fix for multiple overlapping Donate objective dropbox:
This mod re-implements the "DropBox" tile action to handle cases where multiple dropboxes are on the same tile better.
-
[]If the tile has a dropbox id for only 1 special order, it is displayed.
[
]If the tile's dropbox id matches multiple active special order, they are cycled through as you interact.[]If a special order's dropbox is missing (i.e. 2 mods tried to add Action DropBox at same tile), a warning is raised once, and this particular special order can appear from every DropBox action in the map (with the same cycling mechanic as case 2).
To reduce confusion, the special order's title is drawn over the dropbox menu.
Also, vanilla only displays 1 dropbox indicator per location, this mod will draw the indicators for every active dropbox.
This has no effect on vanilla special orders (which never have overlapping dropboxes).
If you don't want this change, you can disable it via config.json:
"EnableOverlappingDropBoxFix": true // set this the false to disable
Known Issues (that aren't getting fixed anytime soon sorry)
-
[]Quests with collect objectives covering multiple items will show icon for the item collected last, rather than all valid icons.
[]Complex collect objectives like Pierre's Prime Produce also just use the standard item collected icon.
[]Monster don't have proper icons, so this mod hardcodes a texture rect just like the vanilla game. Some monsters may show up weird or have no icons at all.
