Accessibility mod to assist hard of hearing/deaf players to know when certain specials/elites are approaching
The indicators will only appear when the target is less than 40m from you (You can set the range within for each event)
You can toggle each indicator on or off, change its colour, show only if behind you, and also change the distance it appears from the centre.
There's also the option for Active Range, which will move the arc closer to the middle as the target approaches
You can also specify a specific range for each type that will add an Alert icon to indicate they are particularly close
You can turn on a unit count to add numbers to the arc when more than one of a particular type is in range
You can select Left or Right (default Both) to only show arcs on that side for folk with issues only in one ear
All arc settings can be copied from one target type to another
If you reset all the settings with the DMF option, you'll have to restart the game to ensure all the settings are set to the default values
You can specify for the mod to warn if a net is fired within 15m or a cleave is swung within 10m (adjustable). These indicators can be customised for font/size/colour. I recommend using Custom HUD to move these indicators to your favourite spot. As these are tied to the relevant sound effects, please test this functionality in the Psykanium, so you can see how early/late it appears.
There are text warnings for the following:
-
[]Trapper Nets[/]
[]Crusher Overheads[/]
[]Plague Ogryn Charges[/]
[]Shotgunners racking their shotgun[/]
[]Hounds about to pounce[/]
[]Sniper shots (only in solo play)[/]
NB: If you have been having issues with the textures not showing correctly, there is a dependency now for Simple Assets which will serve the textures locally. Be sure to run it as indicated and load it before Spidey Sense in the mod load order.
