About this Mod

Always On Locator Bar

A small mod that stops the locator bar (waypoint dots) from disappearing whenever the XP bar pops up to animate absorbed experience.

In vanilla, picking up XP orbs hides your locator bar for a few seconds: annoying when you're trying to follow a waypoint. This mod overlays the locator dots on top of the XP bar so your waypoints stay visible at all times.

Features

  • Locator dots overlay: when the XP bar takes over the screen space, the waypoint markers are drawn on top of it instead of being hidden.
  • Optional always-on XP bar: force the XP bar to stay on screen permanently, with locator dots overlayed.
  • Master toggle: flip the whole mod off to instantly fall back to vanilla behaviour.
  • In-game config screen: accessible through Mod Menu, three simple modes:
    • Off: vanilla behaviour
    • Overlay on XP: locator dots drawn on top of the XP bar (default)
    • Always show XP bar: XP bar permanently visible, with locator dots overlayed

Optional

  • Mod Menu: needed to open the in-game config screen.
