This mod is based on AutoLoot Configurable All-in-One with a lot of improvements!
NOTE: The mod is standalone now (it doesn't require the original mod anymore) since v4.04.2 (because almost all the files are edited already in there).
The mod brings a lot of improvements: -> adds new (or modifies some existing) settings
-> adds new "Shortcuts" (Radius Looting/True AutoLoot distance change + Use Filters settings) and associated menu (more info in: "A) NEWS / CHANGES from default AutoLoot")
-> adds "Silent Popup" Preset and menu with options to disable popups for several item categories
-> adds fully customizable popups (colors, position and more)
-> contains many bug fixes for bugs presented in AutoLoot
GENERAL INFO
- note: name of the mod: "AutoLoot Advanced Settings with Silent Popup" ...I call it just: AutoLoot +A.S.
A) NEWS / CHANGES from the original AutoLoot:
- completely new menu => No Loot Popup and Sound for some categories (Herbs, Ingredients), Read Text, Food, Junk, Currency, Armors, Weapons)
>> Herbs
>> Ingredients - adjustable with quality selection
>> Read Text: note - just Read! => Unread text still gets Popup
>> Food and Drink
>> Junk: - adjustable value (value: ">=" Show Popup / "1" Hide Everything) ...note - "Sea shell" (contains Black Pearl) still gets Popup
>> Currency - adjustable value (value: ">=" Show Popup / "1" Hide Everything)
>> Armors - adjustable with quality selection
>> Weapons - adjustable with quality selection
NOTES:
Junk range = 1-150 (default value 150 - recommended)
Currency range = 1-5000 (note: it is the value for each currency ...Crowns/Florens/Orens = not the sum)
Ingredients, Armors, Weapons = the highest possible quality to hide is relic (Ingredients shouldn't be green and green A+W should be visible)
∎ added fully customizable AutoLoot popups support
- you can select: popup color, position, background opacity (0% = no frame!), each item quality color and more...
∎ added PRESET: "Silent Popup" (corresponding to some Silent Popup options)
- it is like "Herbs" Preset with additional filters: Readable Filter - READ, Food and Drink Filter, Junk Filter, Currency Filter, Ingredient Filter
- of course you can activate/disable any additional filters you wish whatever Preset you load (like add "Corpse filter" etc).
NOTE: Silent Popup menu settings won't be affected if you change Preset (I made it independent on the current Preset).
...if you load e.g.: "Silent Popup" Preset you still have to enable desired Silent Popup options in the menu (if you didn't enable it earlier) to use it.
∎ added new Shortcuts with the menu
- adds shortcuts for Radius Looting/True AutoLoot distance + shortcut for Filters ("Use Filters" in the Setings menu)
- adds completely new "Shortcuts" menu where you can also choose between two ways how Shortcuts for distance change [num4-9] works:
a) +/- distance value (with chosen step) and current distance (INFO key)
b) sets chosen distance (preferred when "Alternative Press Function for Distance Keys..." option is enabled)
- all the new shortcuts have a secondary function when hold (I recommend to check new images/videos for the explanation)
...note: when you hold the key, the press action is performed first
- new shortcuts can be changed in the Key Bindings menu (Options -> Key Bindings)
NOTE: Shortcuts for True AutoLoot are available only when True AutoLoot is enabled!
...distance shortcuts [num4-9] can be also partially or completely disabled:
=> e.g.: If you don't use Radius Looting or True AutoLoot you can disable its shortcuts in new "Shortcuts" menu.
Default controls for new Shortcuts:
Radius Looting shortcuts:
[Num 7] - Radius Looting: Distance Step[-] / Distance (1)*
[Num 9] - Radius Looting: Distance Step[+] / Distance (3)*
[Num 8] - Radius Looting: Current Distance / Distance (2)*
True AutoLoot shortcuts:
[Num 4] - True AutoLoot: Distance Step[-] / Distance (1)*
[Num 6] - True AutoLoot: Distance Step[+] / Distance (3)*
[Num 5] - True AutoLoot: Current Distance / Distance (2)*
Filters shortcuts ("Use Filters" in the Settings menu):
[Num- ] - current Filters setting / hold the key = Filters Toggle
*preferred when "Alternative Press Function for Distance Keys..." option in "Shortcuts" menu is enabled
NOTE: A secondary function of distance keys [ num4-9 when hold ]:
[Num 4] / [Num 7] hold - sets distance value = 1
[Num 5] / [Num 8] hold - sets distance value = 15
[Num 6] / [Num 9] hold - sets distance value = 30
∎ behaviour of loot key ("E")
- behaviour of loot key ("E") when True AutoLoot=Off is adjustable now in the mod's Settings menu
∎ added several item filters
- added/edited several missing filters (details in: "B) New FILTERS/changes + items notes")
∎ True AutoLoot Mode -> enable/disable Popup
- True AutoLoot enable/disable popup when game starts/loads is now fully customizable
∎ added "Exclude Trophies" option
- This option is enabled by the default (=the whole container with Trophy isn't looted ...like Vanilla's default)
- it is useful (=to turn it off) e.g. for "Random Encounters Reworked" mod
∎ added "Exclude Dropped Items" option
- This option prevents to autoloot items dropped by the player
∎ added "No Loot if Player doesn't Move" option
- It is option for True AutoLoot which can improve performance when the player is idle (exceptions: Horse/Boat/Swimming)
- It is meant to be used when True AutoLoot range is (near) max
∎ added option to Destroy white Weapons/Armors
- This is EXPERIMENTAL function because I am not sure if it can break some quests/gameplay with white quality Weapons/Armors!
So keep in mind this when using the option!
- note: there are several exceptions (items not destroyed by this option):
...fixed items (Shirts = for crafting recipes ; starting gear = Witcher swords + Kaer Morhen armor ; items with "casual")
...optional items (just Crossbows for now)
∎ added many bug fixes
- added many bug fixes for bugs presented in AutoLoot (details in: "C) BUG FIXES")
B) New FILTERS/changes + items notes:
...(also added "Bottomless carafe" = alchemy ingredient but placed in "Other" tab)
2) Readable Filter is now divided into the "READ" and "UNREAD" filters.
3) NEW: Horse Equipment Filter - Blinders/Saddles/Saddlebags
...I didn't include Trophies (=protected container) here because you have to enable: "Force Quest Container Looting" to loot them.
...which isn't recommended -> you can break some quests when ON
4) NEW: Trophy Filter - Loot Trophies ...(of course it loots just non-quest trophies)
5) NEW: Mask Filter - Loot Masks
6) NEW: Tool Filter - Weapon/Armor repair kits
7) NEW: Other Filter - "Other" category in "Quest Items/Other" tab = not "Weapons/Armor" (like Torch)
- note: Keys/Readable are excluded from this filter
8) NEW: Key Filter - note: keys can be labeled as "Other" or "Key" category in "Quest Items/Other" tab
9) NEW: Junk Filter - Loot Items Considered "Junk"
GENERAL NOTE: Since mod version 4.04.9 Filters are reworked (mainly just Quality/Value fitlers are now assigned straight to some item filters).
NOTE 1: There are some (=protected) containers in the game which can be looted only when "Force Quest Container Looting" setting is enabled.
So if you wonder why the loot inside isn't looted automatically, you can enable (for a second*) this setting to check.
*("Force Quest Container Looting" setting shouldn't be enabled all the time because you can break some quests when ON)
C) BUG FIXES:
- Fix for duplicates (diagram or alchemy formula from chests) when looted with AutoLoot
2) Corvo Bianco - No automatic loot FIX ...[AHDAutoLootFilters.ws]
- no looting your painting and armor/weapon displays at your Toussaint residence (Corvo Bianco)
3) key_bindings FIX - added missing categories ...[input.settings]
- origin AutoLoot Archive contains key_bindings.txt file
...there are controls (U, Y by default) for "AutoLoot Radius" + "True AutoLoot" actions assigned to certain categories (but some were still missing there):
[Boat]
[Diving]
[Combat_Replacer_Ciri]
[Exploration_Replacer_Ciri]
[Horse_Replacer_Ciri]
- if you will install this mod with TW3 Mod Manager = the fix will be applied automatically
...(otherwise just follow installation instructions for manual installation)
4) Horse Equipment FIX ...[AHDAutoLootNotificationManager.ws]
- I also found out and fixed a bug (*with AutoLoot) = originally No Loot Sound for Horse Equipment (Blinders, Saddles, Saddlebags, Trophies**)
*no sound when Looting Horse Equipment is actually a behaviour of Vanilla game although you definitely want to hear it (especially with AutoLoot)
**NOTE: Trophies won't be looted with AutoLoot until you set: "Force Quest Container Looting" in the AutoLoot settings...
...which isn't recommended because you can break some quests when ON but need to be mentioned here
5) Buckthorn FIX ...[AHDAutoLootFilters.ws]
- Buckthorn is underwater herb and it is the only one which isn't looted from containers if you load e.g. "Herbs" Preset
- it is a minor bug because I think Buckthorn can't appear in containers (just when you drop any, it won't be looted)
NOTE: The reason is that Buckthorn is a Quest item ("The Beast of White Orchard").
During this quest you are sent to loot Buckthorn (if you don't have some already) to one place...
...there Buckthorn isn't looted automatically (even with this fix) = it will be looted only when you turn on "Force Quest Container Looting"
6) Restores functionality of "E" FIX ...[container.ws]
- the fix solves a bug when TrueAutoLoot is disabled by the shortcut and you loot anything with E while keeping functionality of AutoLoot Radius
...(previously everything was looted automatically when you clicked on any container + your filters were set to loot everything)
- it is useful if you are using rather AutoLoot Radius (def.: U) than TrueAutoLoot (def.: Y) but still want to loot some containers manually with E
- I was inspired by this feature included in AutoLoot Manually - a mod by IcemanSR (modded original AutoLoot)
- EDIT: mod v1.2 adds possibility to choose "E" key behaviour (when TrueAutoLoot is disabled) from the mod's settings menu:
=> left switcher [Auto-Loot Chosen Items] = items chosen in filters will be autolooted (or everything if you set Off: "Use Filters" in Settings menu)
=> right switcher [Open Vanilla Loot Popup] = pressing "E" key will always open Vanilla Loot Popup window
7) True Autoloot: activating from the mod menu FIX + several popups EDITS/FIXES ...[AHDAutoLootFeatureManager.ws, commonIngameMenu.ws]
- originally if you disabled True Autoloot by the shortcut (def. Y key) and then enabled it again in the mod menu and returned to the game...
...True AutoLoot didn't work although switcher in the mod menu was set to enable! -> FIXED
- added missing True AutoLoot disable popup when True AutoLoot=ON by the shortcut and then set OFF in the menu
- added missing True Autoloot enable/disable popup when the mod (whole AutoLoot) was activated from the mod menu
- True AutoLoot enable/disable popup works only if the mod (whole AutoLoot) is enabled
- True AutoLoot enable/disable popup when game starts/loads is now fully customizable + added colors for "enable/disable" text
8) Scavenger Hunt missions (Witcher schematics) FIX ...[AHDAutoLootFilters.ws]
- I found another quite a big bug related to Scavenger Hunt missions if you don't loot diagrams with AutoLoot:
("Use Filters"=On in Settings menu and "Formula filter" is disabled)
- the problem was when AutoLoot range reached distance where Scavenger Hunt diagrams are located in containers
...then AutoLoot properly didn't loot the diagram but a quest for it was marked as "completed"
(some diagrams could be missed if you didn't notice the bug!)
- NOTE: FIX is added for Schools of: Cat + Griffin + Bear + Wolf + Viper (it isn't needed for Manticore set).
9) No looting during dialog/cutscene playing FIX ...[container.ws]
- looting during dialog/cutscene playing (while True AutoLoot is enabled) shouldn't be possible, so I disabled it
10) Empty loot window FIX ...[AHDAutoLootNotificationManager.ws]
- added FIX for rare occasions where empty loot window (or its part) could appear when you loot something
11) Exclude Scavenger Hunt diagrams (Witcher schematics) FIX - OPTIONAL (but RECOMMENDED!) ...[AHDAutoLootFilters.ws]
- added new FIX = option in the mod's Global Filters menu: "Exclude Witcher Diagrams (Scavenger Hunt Missions)"
...without this option enabled - some Scavenger diagrams can be looted from another floors, etc (like Viper venomous silver sword in Oxenfurt)
= it is better to loot all Scavenger diagrams manually (like all of them from: "School of the Manticore" or Viper Steel sword diagram).
- ">> NEW: Exclude Witcher Diagrams..." option now supports new items added by Viper Gear Expanded mod (if you have it installed)
12) FIX (no autoloot) for tutorial sword ...[AHDAutoLootConfig.ws]
- I personally didn't experience the bug (missing tutorial sword when AutoLoot was enabled before training with Vesemir) but some people do
- note: tutorial sword (Witcher's Steel/Steel Sword) won't be autolooted now from Kaer Morhen
13) FIX (no autoloot) for 3 outfits during "Imperial Audience" quest in Vizima ...[AHDAutoLootFilters.ws]
- 3 outfits on racks won't be autolooted now
14) FIX (no autoloot some quest items ...[AHDAutoLootFilters.ws]
- added the exception for some quest items
15) FIX (no autoloot) for your weapons if you "lent" them to Trolls during "The Final Trial" main quest in Kaer Morhen ...[AHDAutoLootFilters.ws]
- in this quest you can temporarily drop all your weapons (they won't be autolooted now ...before Trolls attacked you after autolooting)
16) FIX (no autoloot) for Ofieri crossbow in Oxenfurt and some other items (e.g. Tesham Mutna set) ...[AHDAutoLootFilters.ws]
- this crossbow is placed in the underground and it previously it could be autolooted just by exploring the city above
- now you will have to loot it manually during "Open Sesame!" (HoS) quest as it was intended to get it right there
XX) UNSOLVED BUG: AutoLoot loots some containers twice - more info below (it is a copy of my post from AutoLoot bugs section: LINK )
I also tried older AutoLoot mods and the problem is there too (from JupiterTheGod or this modification by icemanSR).
The reason of this is that:
CDPR have placed some container entites (crates, sacks, chests) twice in the exact same place by mistake.
It can be seen in multiple places (many of these in Novigrad / I found one in White Orchard-Woesong Bridge too).
While most "bugged" containers can be looted just once without AutoLoot (=highlited ones only), when any AutoLoot mod is being used, these containers are looted twice.
I made this video about it: DUPLICATES BUG
I would like to solve this bug yet and add a fix here, but I am not sure it can be easily fixed since it is here from the beginning of AutoLoot (and mainly the bug is not caused directly by AutoLoot).
D) General AutoLoot TIPS:
1) Recommended mod to use (with Silent Popup option(s) enabled):
======================================================
- I recommend to check a << NEW VIDEO >> where are all AutoLoot +A.S. functions explained!
- Recommended mod to use (especially with Silent Popup option(s) enabled):
...it is a part of mod collection by Wolfmark: More Quick Slots - Better Radial Menu - Quick Inventory
2) Maximum Containers to Loot at Once:
=================================
- don't set this Autoloot option too low (like =1) because items won't be looted usually until you get very close to each loot
...(even if you set Loot distance to maximum).
- you can check my video: "Usage + Recommended Settings" about this behaviour
3) If you want to disable AutoLoot (and loot manually like Vanilla for a while):
=============================================================
E) INSTALLATION:
1) Preparation
= = = = = = = =
---
a) NOTE 1: if you already have installed my previous mod: [ Silent Herbs ]
- just uninstall it
b) NOTE 2: if you already have installed [ Popup For Unread Text Only ] mod by clickNINE
- you can uninstall it now (my mod includes this with the author's permission)
c) NOTE 3: if you are using also Complete Animations Redux mod (C.A.R.), don't forget to apply updated compatibility patch by me from here (optional files)
- C.A.R. and AutoLoot+A.S. mods have to be installed first
- then put container.ws file from updated compatibility patch to 2 folders below
...\modCompleteAnimationsRedux\content\scripts\game\gameplay\containers\
...\modAutoLootASOldGen\content\scripts\game\gameplay\containers\
In the end run SCRIPT MERGER: if you have more mods editing "container.ws" file (besides just "AutoLoot +A.S." and "C.A.R."):
-first make a merge just for "AutoLoot +A.S" and "C.A.R." mods then the rest (confirm overwrite existing "container.ws" file merge)
...otherwise additional script compilation error(s) can occur.
2) Installation
= = = = = = = =
1) install the mod (the best with TW3 mod manager) and run Script Merger after.
2) NOTE: The default AutoLoot settings will be loaded after you load any save game for the first time so don't change its settings before.
...Anyway I STRONGLY recommend yet to do a manual reset through the in-game mod menu:
[MODS] - [AUTOLOOT +A.S.] - [SETTINGS] - and the last option here: Reset All Settings...
>> ( OUTDATED installation tutorials )
1) OPTIONAL - backup
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
---
- you can manually backup AutoLoot data + settings:
...\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\Mods\modAutoLootMenu
...\Documents\The Witcher 3\"*.settings files"
...\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\AHDAutoLootConfig.xml
...\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\input.xml
-> yet backup these folders if you want to backup TW3 Mod Manager data (including merged files):
...\Documents\The Witcher 3 Mod Manager
...\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\Mods\mod0000_MergedFiles
2) Installation
= = = = = = = =
>> 2A) A.S. merged with AutoLoot BEFORE! the installation - video tutorial: >> HERE <<
1) download both mods (AutoLoot Configurable All-in-One + Advanced Settings with Silent Popup)
2) extract "modAutoLootMenu" folder from AutoLoot archive
3) open "Advanced Settings_SP" archive + "modAdvancedSettingsSP" folder
4) select everything here and copy it into AutoLoot folder (confirm overwrite/merge)
...NOTE: you can delete origin AutoLoot + A.S. archives if you want
5) in the end just make an archive of merged folder and install mod as usual (with TW3 manager, etc... and run Script Merger after)
6) after installation you can check "input.settings" file (Documents -> the Witcher 3 directory -> input.settings) ...folder path:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\The Witcher 3\
= search "AutoLoot" term - it should be there exactly 158x (for A.S. mod since v2.0) ...(Notepad++ can count searched terms)
NOTE: The default AutoLoot settings will be loaded after you load any save game for the first time so don't change its settings before.
B) really old tutorials
Installation instructions for A.S. mod installed: automatically (=TW3 Mod manager) or manualy.
You need "TW3 Mod Manager" to install mods and "Script Merger" to solve conflicts!
INFO - If you want to help with installation:
...you can check detailed instalation tutorial (including also AutoLoot instalation instructions).
2B) A.S. - installed ==AUTOMATICALLY== (as new mod listed in Mod Manager)
- for A.S. installation just move its archive to TW3 Mod Manager window and create necessary merges
...there will be conflicts = a lot!
===========================
SOLUTION for conflicts should be: always choose data from A.S.
===========================
2C) A.S. - installed ==MANUALLY== (no new mod will be installed - just AutoLoot updated)
Note: there are no (no additional) conflicts in Script Merger when installing manually
- open A.S. archive and extract "modAdvancedSettingsSP" folder somewhere (rather outside of W3 directory)
a) ...\modAdvancedSettingsSP\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\"AHDAutoLootConfig.xml" file
- copy "AHDAutoLootConfig.xml" file and confirm overwrite here:
...\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\
b) ...\modAdvancedSettingsSP\"content" folder
- copy whole folder and confirm merge/overwrite here:
...\Mods\modAutoLootMenu\
c) ...\modAdvancedSettingsSP\"key_bindingsNEW.txt" file
- the last part is add "AutoLoot Radius" + "True AutoLoot" keys (U, Y by default) for categories missing in the origin AutoLoot archive:
[Boat]
[Diving]
[Combat_Replacer_Ciri]
[Exploration_Replacer_Ciri]
[Horse_Replacer_Ciri]
- open key_bindingsNEW.txt -> copy the whole text
- open "input.settings" file: Documents -> the Witcher 3 directory -> input.settings ...folder path:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\The Witcher 3\
- paste copied text at the top = no need to search each category title and paste controls below (it will be done automatically)
...(save changes in the end)
NOTE: If you added these controls for any category in the past:
-> make sure there are no duplicates in one category in the "input.settings" file!
d) Run Script Merger
NOTE) A.S. uninstall
---
If you have installed A.S. mod automatically (with TW3 mod manager as new mod) and you want to uninstall it but KEEP AutoLoot:
- you have to recover "AHDAutoLootConfig.xml" file from origin AutoLoot archive (or your backup if you have any)
...(otherwise AutoLoot menu in the game will be missing because TW3 mod manager remove this file)
- path: ...\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\AHDAutoLootConfig.xml
3) additional INFORMATION
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
"AutoLoot Radius" + "True AutoLoot" controls
---
If you are using default keys (U,Y) for "AutoLoot Radius" + "True AutoLoot" actions you can skip this step!
...otherwise you have to just reassign your preferred keys in the game for "input.settings" file update
(it will be updated for all categories ...although you can do it manually in the input.settings file as well)
- path: Documents -> the Witcher 3 directory -> input.settings
