📋 About This Mod

Description

Newly added schematics/recipes are not marked with an asterisk, unlike journal entries (characters and bestiary), so I decided to "fix" this.

All schematics/recipes are taken into account: purchased, found in the container, added via the console or by reading a book. The asterisk in unread entries won't be erased on save reload.

Compatibility

Friendly HUD - compatible, it already has a similar feature, but it doesn't take into account recipes added by reading a book.

Alchemy/Primer - compatible, it already has s similar feature, but only for alchemy recipes.

Should be compatible with everything else, just merge scripts.

Changed files:

  • []game/gui/menus/alchemyMenu.ws

    []game/gui/menus/craftingMenu.ws

  • game/player/playerWitcher.ws (annotation only in NG version)

    Installation

    Copy modUnreadSchematicsAndRecipes to your "The Witcher 3/Mods" folder. Merge scripts.
