Nono, in DFU, they open at 11 and close at 16(I think) but there os no way to get the opening times by using Info Mode. So I suspect the data simply isn’t there.

On the topic of removing modes, we could add functionality instead of remove it for the same reason i want language skills bolstered rather than buckled.

The interact modes could be tied to skills, strenghthening their use.

I made a post with the possible changes that could be added.

I just want the skills you choose to make the game play differently.

I officially cannot play DF without this mod anymore, I always felt like something was "missing" but couldn't quite put my finger on it and I guess one of those was the real-time tooltips ala Morrowind.

I felt the same during development whenever I'd turn it off :lol: you get so used to seeing something mouse over it.

Sorry I haven't made any updates lately, I've been preoccupied with life matters along with other side programming tasks. I definitely will update this sometime with more tooltip options and a few minor fixes.

I was curious about how you did this, it's pretty neat. Couldn't find the code on your github though.

Sorry about that, the branch is here. I put all of the logic into one file out of laziness but essentially it does some C# reflection hacks to add itself to the HUD without class overrides, reimplements the tooltip class to my own needs, and does more C# reflection hacks to grab private and protected methods in PlayerActivate, and I optimized it as best as I could to reduce the number of tooltip text re-evaluations.

A PR I made a while ago publicized certain parts that I no longer need to do reflection on, but I'll make changes once I have the time to sit down and add new features to the mod.

What script is it in that branch? I was interested in seeing your GUI code, but I can't locate it in the folders and directories.

Ran into an interesting bug with this mod. If I run the game at 720p on my 1440p monitor, tooltips don't appear. Change it back to 1440p without changing anything else, and tooltips appear again. (Found it because I sync my game across PCs with dropbox and they have different screens)

Probably not an issue 99% of the time because people probably play in native resolution. Not sure if it's 1440p specific or just any non-native resolution.

Yeah, I am aware that there might need to be some additional fixes for centering the tooltip. I believe using the Large HUD might not change the center offset for the tooltip, which I'd need to look at. Thanks for reporting!
