Detective Squint

Narrow your eyes. Hold Z and your view zooms in smoothly, so you can read a sign across the street, get a good look at a face, or case a window before you go anywhere near it. Let go and it eases back out.

Features

• Smooth zoom to 2.5× while you hold the key.
• Steady aim. Mouse look slows down to match the zoom, so a magnified view doesn't feel twitchy.
• Works at computer screens too, which makes small text easier to read.
• Stays out of the way in menus, the map, documents and conversations.
• Your settings are safe. Your field-of-view setting is restored exactly when you let go, and your saved sensitivity is never changed.

Configuration

After the first launch, edit BepInEx/config/sodmods.detectivesquint.cfg (or use r2modman's config editor):

Setting	Default	Description
Controls.SquintKey	Z	Key to squint
Controls.Toggle	false	Press once to squint, again to stop, instead of holding
Squint.Zoom	2.5	Magnification while squinting
Squint.Speed	6	How quickly the view zooms in and out (higher = snappier)
Squint.ScaleMouseSensitivity	true	Slow mouse look down to match the zoom

Safe to remove?

Yes. It doesn't store anything in your saves, so you can add or remove it at any time.

Compatibility

• Requires BepInExPack IL2CPP (installed automatically by r2modman/Gale).
• Built for the main (IL2CPP) branch of the game, not the mono beta branch.
