Finding Creatures

Hi! I create client-side mods for Vintage Story — from visual improvements to helpful tools for players.
🧏‍♂️ I'm deaf, so I communicate via text only. If you have questions or found a bug, feel free to reach out on Discord. 

 

 

Finding Creatures is a fully client-side mod for Vintage Story  that helps players visually detect chunks with a high number of certain creatures.

Features:

1. Highlight chunks containing more than a set number of specified creatures.
2. Configure the target creature code (e.g. pig-eurasian-adult-male).
3. Set the minimum number of creatures required for highlighting.
4. Adjust the chunk radius to scan around the player.
5. Change the highlight color manually using ARGB values.
6. Highlighting updates automatically as the player moves or conditions change.
7. Works only on the client side – no server installation required

WARNING

The mod is poorly optimized, so when it finds the right chunk, the game may freeze for a microsecond.

Advice

It is better to first configure the mod and then activate it using the ficr command.

Client command:

• .ficr - enables/disables the mod, this will be needed because the mod is poorly optimized.(*1.1.1 version* If you add "optimize"(.ficr optimize), then the highlight will be only У=64 from the first layer of blocks).
• .fc chunk [number] - setting the number of chunks in the radius that the mod will check (default 0, i.e. the chunk in which the player is located).
• .fc number [number] - setting the number of creatures at which the chunk will be highlighted.
• .fc creature [code] - creature search settings, entered creature code 1v1 (the code can be found in the game by looking at the creature or in the guide, activated using the ".edi" command).
• .fc color [A R G B]* - Setting the transparency and color of selected fragments.  (adds to 1.0.2)                

*You can find the RGB encoding on the website.

Alpha(A): Controls the opacity or transparency. A value of 0 means the color is completely transparent (invisible), while a value of 255 means it's completely opaque (solid);
Red(R), Green(G), and Blue(B): These channels determine the color itself.

Example of setting a creature code:
.fc creature pig-eurasian-adult-female (sets the search for the creature "boar")
.fc creature pig-eurasian-adult-* (works with 1.1.0, sets the search for creatures with a similar code, you don't need to add the full code, add the "*" sign instead)

IMPORTANTLY 

1. The author of the mod is not responsible for failures and lost items.
