Why use this mod?

Do you find yourself constantly switching between Outward and the Outward Wiki? Tired of alt-tabbing and letting Chrome consume unnecessary system resources just to find information that should already be available in-game?

The Outward Enchantments Viewer Mod has you covered!

Features:

1. Detailed Enchantment Descriptions – Enchantments now display both their bonuses and drawbacks.
2. Enchantment Availability Count – Item descriptions indicate the total number of enchantments available for that item.
3. Inventory Compatibility Tracking – Item descriptions show how many compatible enchantments exist in your inventory.
4. Enchantment Listing – All enchantments that can be applied to the item are listed in the description.
5. Dynamic Enchantment Descriptions – The system retrieves enchantment details from other mods, ensuring comprehensive and up-to-date descriptions.
6. Adaptive Item Descriptions – Item descriptions dynamically update by gathering information from other mods about available enchantments.
7. Fixed Scroll View for Item Display Details – Improves handling of longer modded descriptions by adjusting the scroll view, allowing for better readability and navigation. This enhances precision, provides more screen space, and ensures smooth scrolling, even when using a controller.
8. Custom Enchantment Descriptions – Allows players to define their own enchantment descriptions through XML, which are then loaded into the game for a personalized experience.
9. Configurable Display Settings – Control how enchantment information is displayed through BepInEx\config\gymmed.outwardenchantmentsviewer.cfg. Customize the visibility of enchantment details using the following settings:
   • ShowEnchantmentDescriptions – Enable or disable detailed enchantment descriptions.
   • ShowEquipmentDescriptions – Toggle the display of enchantments on equipment.
   • ShowAllAvailableEnchantmentsCountForEquipment – Choose whether to show the total number of enchantments available for each piece of equipment.
   • ShowMissingEnchantmentsForEquipment – Decide if missing enchantments for equipment should be displayed.
   • ShowDescriptionsOnlyForInventory – Restrict enchantment descriptions to items currently in the player’s inventory, hiding details for items in shops.

How to create personalized enchantment descriptions

To add custom enchantment descriptions, follow these steps:

1. Copy the example file customEnchantmentsDescriptions.xml.example and rename it to customEnchantmentsDescriptions.xml.
2. Open the newly created file and add your custom enchantment descriptions by copying and modifying existing <enchantment> tags.
3. You can find the IDs for vanilla enchantments in vanillaRecipesID.txt.
4. The overwrite attribute determines how your custom description interacts with existing ones:
   • overwrite = true → Completely replaces the default enchantment description.
   • overwrite = false → Adds your custom text as an addition to the existing description.
5. To remove a custom description, simply delete the entire <enchantment> tag block from the XML file.

This system allows for full customization, letting you personalize enchantment descriptions to fit your preferences.
