    Updates

    Do not post about the mod being out-of-date. I know. It will be updated.

    Installation prerequisite

    Step-by-step instructions for BepInEx - doesn't install with Vortex, needs manual action.

    If you followed the install instructions but the mod still doesn't work, it could be due to many things.

    Awesome mod, that crappy hexagone is way to big.

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong.  I'm assuming this mod supports fonts other than Arial.ttf?  Otherwise, why bother having a Font option?  I've tried changing the name to other installed fonts, but changing the font results in the text not rendering.  I even tried including the entire path, nada.  I tried enabling debug mode, but nothing jumps out at me from the Player.log that would indicate why other fonts don't render.

      It was a feature request from a way back. Who asked for it never reported back any faults.

      It currently only supports built-in fonts. What are those other than Arial? No idea.

      When you say "built-in fonts," I assume you mean fonts built into the game itself?

      Great mod, 10/10 will endorse.

    Should this be able to show the Beacon Names to multiplayer clients?

    I know you have answered this question last year, but do you think you might add toggling the hexagon to this mod? The mod in my previous comment, Toggle Beacons, seemed to be able to do this. I used it together with your mod, but unfortunately the latest update broke . If you got no plans on adding it (or maybe its difficult to do, idk), then no worries! :) Just curious. Either way this mod is a really nice QoL addition. Thank you so much for all of your awesome work on all of the mods you've made for Planet Crafter.

      I've been waiting for other mod authors to fix up their mods. No promises on when or what I'll take over.

      Big +1, I hate beacons always showing, and the other mod is broken and doesn't seem like the mod author is responsive, its been more than a year since he released it.

      Alright, added a toggle option to BeaconText, available once the game officially updates.

      If you are on the Steam Dev Branch, you can preview it via the Mods Bundle.

      Hi.  Thank you for all of your mods.  They help so much.

      The reason I downloaded this one was for the beacon toggle.

      I can't get it to work, however.  I tried leaving the <Keyboard>/ and changed the b to a v (as b is quick inventory for me).  I tried using -.  I tried without the keyboard part and I looked in the config file.  But no matter, nothing happens if I just press the key or if I press it with shift and/or shift+ctrl+key.

      The only thing I've managed to do successfully is reduce the font size.

      What am I missing, please? :)

      Cheers.

      Edit: Hmm, when I toggled back into the game I saw a brief message about the beacon text and yes, the text and distance is now gone.  I still see the hexagons, though.

      No idea. Did you press Left Ctrl or whatever your accessibility key is?

      Aye.

      One thing I discovered is that it was taking literal minutes for the changes to happen so that was confusing at first.  That is probably due to the fact that I was also rendering a large video with Cyberlink PowerDirector at the time.  But I never could get rid of the hexagons. :(

      Cheers.

      Edit: As I'm sure you suspected, it was user error.  I shall bow my head in shame.  I was doing ctrl+shift+v instead of shift+ctrl.  Ai ai ai.  Sorry about that.

    The mod mostly works well, however, a problem I'm having is the text is too large. I looked at the config file and it has a value of 20. I tried making it 10 to see if that fixed it, it didn't. That is unless I made the config file read only. It did seem to decrease the size of the text, maybe? I say maybe because when I make the config file read only the mod doesn't really do anything as far as I could tell. I can't change settings with the (ctrl or ctrl+shift) B key.

    If for some reason it matters my screen resolution is 3440x1440.

      Works for me, but if you are using Mod Config Menu to change settings live, you'll have to reload your save for the resize to take effect for now.

    Author sir, could you make it so that the hex size is adjustable? Somehow it appears pretty large on my screen ater 1.0.

    Thank you, this is a small addition but a needed one. By the way this mod works really well together with Cisox's "Toggle Beacons" mod for anyone interested.

    This is a very handy mod.  Particularly when you have more than a few beacons as a lot of the colours start to get very similar.  Thank you.

    One idea I had was can the text be toggled on or off using a keyboard command?  Sometimes if I am not looking for the beacons I find them distracting.  WOuld be great to be able to toggle them off when I don't need them.  Thank you.

      Agreed. This is a great mod, and I would love to see the ability to toggle beacons off.

      You can hide the texts with the button B, but not the colored hexagon right now.

    This is a question fir another of your Mods. I could not figure out where to ask you this question. I am on Discord but not great at where to ask. Is it possible to make your map Mod's Map round. Also I bit smaller. Thank you for great Mods.

      No idea how to do it. The current square took me days to get it working.

      Next time, please ask my non-Nexus mods on the official game discord in #modding. https://discord.gg/8pjEAaHx
