📋 About This Mod
Disables the visual FX along the edges of the screen for high toxicity, low health, and damage from hits; replaces them with controller vibrations.
I'm not a fan of the coloured screen border effects but I do find it useful to know when I'm at low health or high toxicity. With this mod installed, for both conditions, the red/green borders don't show. You get a strong vibration when you cross the threshold, followed by soft heartbeat-like pulses whilst the visual effect would have been playing. I also prevented the short flash of the red border effect when you take damage from a hit and replaced it with a very soft vibration.
It's mostly annotated but I had to add a couple of lines to effectTypes.ws and gameEffectManager.ws. Any merges in these files should be minimal and easy to resolve.
I have now included the option to add vibrations while retaining the screen FX for those who enjoy them.
The last update I appear to have just re-uploaded the old file by mistake so this version actually includes the changes and I noticed that Ciri's health was not being correctly tracked so I removed the vibrations during her sections. It's not really an issue for me but I think I could get it working properly for her as well if there was any interest.
I've made a version for use with W3EE Redux but I haven't tested it other than to see that it compiles and boots ok. If anyone uses EE I'd appreciate feedback as to whether it's working fully together or not.
Mods along similar lines without the vibrations include:
Clean Screen for Next Gen;
Screen FX Removal;
No Toxic FX Next Gen.
