Staunton Assassin 2,545 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Dynamic Stars by @Staunton Assassin About: Spoiler Dynamic Stars implements three new visual styles for the wanted stars on the HUD in III, VC and SA, designed by directly modifying their native functions. This mod currently features three visual styles: LCS/VCS style, SA style (replaced by III/VC style in SA) and a special, custom style. The visual styles can be very easily switched between with the use of a very simple and completely optional .INI file which also explains each visual style in detail. As a side effect, this mod fixes the non-functional "WANTED_STARS_ARE_FLASHING" (0x057B) opcode in SA to work properly, just like in VC. Screenshots: Spoiler Note: Only the stars' behaviors are included, the rest of the HUD changes are personal enhancements.

firedihm 172 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I've seen similar mod like this before, the one made by DimZet, but he also had a redundant feature where the 1st wanted star would slowly fade in depending on player's current pursuit heat. It was also bugged! Anyway, this version doesn't have that and features several styles moreover – a nice job! And what was the deal with the opcode in SA? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

As for that opcode, I needed it to make the SA version of the mod work properly. Edited November 10, 2020 by Staunton Assassin 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Staunton Assassin 2,545 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 - Removed the .INI file reloading cheat string. Who types a such long string to make the script read just one setting? - Added automatic .INI file reloading because there is just one setting to read. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Staunton Assassin 2,545 Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Update: - Readded the "RELOADSTARS" cheat string. On second thought, it seems like it's worth it. Edited November 24, 2020 by Staunton Assassin 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Staunton Assassin 2,545 Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 Update: - Added a master screenshot showcasing all of the three visual styles in all three games. - Although done in a secret, unannounced update a long time ago, but mentioning it now: Removed the .INI file reloading cheat string again. OP updated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Elissay 193 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Love your “personal enhancements“ to the hud, can’t you upload them also ? I’ve been looking for a mod like that 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve been looking for a mod like that Thanks. And I'd do like to make a mod out of my personalized VC HUD, but unfortunately, it's not original enough code-wise to make it as a mod...
