✨ Core Functions

• **Supported Categories**: One-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, shields, bows, special weapons, tools, lanterns.
• **HIGHLY CONFIGURABLE**: Each category can have its own settings for enable/disable, hotkeys, default hidden state and widget list.
• **Open source and transparent**: The code is completely open source, safe and reliable.
• **Controller support**: Natively supports Xbox controllers, and can also be compatible with PS or Switch controllers through configuration.

🛠️ Installation Guide

• **Install ASI loader**: Make sure your "Red Desert" has the ASI loader installed. If not, download the `version.dll` file from Ultimate ASI Loader releases.
• **Place File**: Place the downloaded `version.dll` into your game root directory (i.e. where the game main program `.exe` is located).
• **Install the module**: Unzip all files of this module to the `bin64/` folder in your game directory.
• **Example path**: `D:\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Crimson Desert\bin64`
• **Start Game**: Start the game and press the **V** key (default) to switch equipment visibility!

⚙️ Configuration instructions

All settings for the module are done by editing the `CrimsonDesertEquipHide.ini` file. You can adjust hotkeys, toggle specific categories on and off, and even set a default hidden state.

**Hotkey format example:**

• Single keys: `V`, `F3`, `Numpad1`, `Mouse4`
• Key combination: `Ctrl+V`, `Shift+F1`
• Controller buttons: `Gamepad_Y`, `Gamepad_LB+Gamepad_Y` (hold LB and press Y)

*Multi-selection hotkey: `V,Gamepad_LB+Gamepad_Y` (can be triggered by pressing V ** or ** handle key combination)

💡 **Tip**: Leave `Hotkey` blank to disable switching for this category. For a complete list of hotkey names, see Supported Input Names.

🎮 Use the controller

The mod supports Xbox controllers natively via the **XInput** API. You can use the controller button names directly in the INI file.

• **For PS4/PS5/Switch controller**: You need to use tools such as DS4Windows, DualSenseX, BetterJoy, or enable Steam input to simulate the controller as an XInput device.

*See Gamepad Compatibility for details.

⚠️ Known limitations and troubleshooting

**Known Issues:**

• Toggle visibility may take **1-3 seconds** to take effect as the game caches mesh visibility and updates it periodically.
• After major game updates, it may be necessary to update the mod's AOB memory scan mode.

*Only the Steam version is currently tested.

**Having a problem? Try these steps:**

• Set `LogLevel` to `Debug` in the INI file.
• Check the log file `CrimsonDesertEquipHide.log` in the game directory.
• If a memory mode error occurs, it means that the current game version may require a module update.

🔄 **After Game Update**: The module's AOB mode scanning system can automatically adapt to minor game changes, but if core game functions are modified, you may need to wait for the module to be updated.
