No Scanner Circle and Vignette - For latest game version

Version 12 is remade from the latest 1. 16. 244. 0 sources.

ANOTHER ONE OF THESE? WHY!?

You've probably noticed there are a few mods on the site that do this already, and are wondering why we need yet another one. This mod works with the current version of Starfield, correctly shows the new city fast travel icons, allows you to open doors/containers while the scanner is open, works for highlighting bounty targets, and doesn't show $UNKNOWN or a question mark for POIs or your ship. In other words, it works properly.

For some reason, the same thing seems to happen over and over on Nexus. Someone (re)creates this particular mod from the current game files to fix something for the current game version, then fails to ever update it again, meaning someone else has to release a new version later. Just in case it's some kind of Starfield modding curse and I too vanish into the ether after releasing this, I'll be including some source files and brief instructions below so at least you'll be able to make a new version if and when one is needed.

DESCRIPTION

If you don't already know what this does, it removes the large outer circle, the horizontal line and the vignette (the darkening at the edges) from the hand scanner view. It's personal preference of course, but I find this much more pleasant and less intrusive for walking around and exploring. Optionally there's a version that removes only the vignette, and both are available in 60 fps as well as the default 30. See images for examples.

You will need loose file loading enabled in your StarfieldCustom.ini to use this mod, if it isn't already. Your mod manager may have already done this for you.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS?

This was my first swf mod, and it was surprisingly easy. Use BAE to extract everything in the Starfield - Interface.ba2 file somewhere. Download the latest version of the JPEXS flash decompiler and use it to open data\interface\monoclemenu.swf. When prompted about using assets from other files, click on "yes to all".

In the left hand panel you'll see "shapes" as something you can expand, if it's not already expanded. The hardest part is identifying the three shapes that correspond to the vignette, the circle and the horizontal line - but I've already done that for you if you download the SVGs for updates file.
