Phyxcer’s new dungeon background and layout

🎮 **A must-have module to solve the overlapping problem of dungeon interface! **

✨ Core Functions

This mod is designed to solve an annoying problem: when multiple new dungeon mods are installed, their mission backgrounds and layout interfaces will overlap each other, resulting in a confusing interface. By re-planning and adjusting the layout, this module assigns **exclusive, non-overlapping display locations** to all dungeons (including those added by the module), and matches them with coordinated new backgrounds.

To put it simply, it is like a "city planner" for the game's mission interface, ensuring that each dungeon has its own tidy "plot."

🔧 Compatibility and loading order

⚠️ **Not compatible with mods**

  • Compact Quest Screen
  • Any mod that modifies the layout or background of the "Quest background".

✅ **Compatible Mods**

  • All dungeon background beautification modules
  • More Quest (more tasks)
  • Level 2 and 4 Quest (Level 2 and Level 4 Quest)
  • Any module that **does not cover** the mission layout or background (such as career modules, overhaul modules, numerical adjustment modules, etc., tested to be compatible with more than 300 modules)

📥 **vital loading order**

In order for the mod to work properly, it **must** be placed on top of all new dungeon mods.

**Strongly recommended to put it [first] in the module loading list**. Please be sure to place this mod on top of other mods to ensure correct functionality.

❓ FAQ

  • **Do I need to install all new dungeon mods? **

**unnecessary! ** This mod will work even if you don't have any new dungeon mods. Its function is to "prepare" a good position. When you add a new dungeon module in the future, it will automatically arrange the new dungeon into the correct location to prevent overlap.

  • **Will it damage existing saves? **

**Won't. ** This mod is safe whether it is for existing archives or adding new dungeon mods midway.

  • **Known Issues**

In rare cases, the module may load abnormally (shown as the icon in the module list turning white and the icon on the task interface turning black). If you encounter it, **completely close and restart the game** can solve it. The probability of this problem occurring is extremely low and the cause is unknown.

💡 Source of inspiration and acknowledgments

This module is inspired by the excellent works of the following two authors:

  • **Compact Quest Screen** by Moon/Void Slime
  • **Quest Map Collection of New Dungeons** by Marquis Thirteen

Here’s to paying tribute to them!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
