UI element switcher

🎮 **Control your game interface with one click! ** This powerful mod allows you to switch various in-game visual elements on and off at will through customized shortcut keys, clearing the way for an immersive experience and perfect screenshots.

✨ Core functions and shortcut keys

The following is a list of preset shortcut keys to allow you to easily switch between various effects:

**Numeric keyboard area:**

  • **0**: Switch HUD (User Interface)
  • **Ctrl + 1**: Remove broomstick smoke
  • **Ctrl + 2**: Toggle all fog effects
  • **Ctrl + 3**: Remove some (but not all) low health visual effects
  • **Ctrl + 4**: Remove the ancient magic shortcut key prompt above the character's head (it will also remove some other important status bars, which cannot be repaired for the time being)
  • **Ctrl + 5**: Toggles enemy highlighting, removes curse marks, and uses the red dot as a lock indicator.
  • **Ctrl + 6**: Toggle spell "Spider Sense" effect
  • **Ctrl + 7**: Toggles all highlighting effects and uses the red dot as a lock indicator.
  • **Ctrl + 8**: Toggles enemy highlighting and uses the red dot as a lock indicator.
  • **Ctrl + 9**: Remove some distortion effects in the mission.

**Alt key combination:**

  • **Alt + 1**: Toggle book track to show only lines.
  • **Alt + 2**: Revealing spell `Revelio` reduces smoke and special effects.
  • **Alt + 3**: The Revealing Spell `Revelio` toggles the highlighting of glowing items and objects.
  • **Alt + 4**: Switch the mini map (the main map icon will also disappear)
  • **Alt + 5**: Toggle all elements except minimap
  • **Alt + 6**: Toggle subtitles (unfortunately, the dialogue option also disappears)
  • **Alt + 7**: Black sphere dash (changes the appearance of your dash)

🚀 Combination shortcut keys

In order to obtain the cleanest experience, the author also thoughtfully set up two shortcut key combinations:

  • **Numerical keyboard's `Del`/`.` keys**: **Super Clean Mode**! One click to remove broomstick smoke, all fog, low health effects, red screen on hit effect, enemy highlighting, curse mark (cursed enemies are still visible on hit), use the little red dot as a lock, remove the spell Spider-Sense, reduce the glare effect of the Revealing Spell, and dash with a black orb. This is the shortcut key that the author uses when starting the game. If necessary, he can fine-tune it separately later.
  • **The `Enter` key on the numeric keypad**: Same shortcut key as above, but **does not remove** the Spell Spider-Sense effect.

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.
