What Is This Mod?
Trader Quest Preview (author: Djtriplexmr) appears to be a UI-type mod that displays an image (preview) corresponding to a quest when you interact with the trader NPC. Its category is “User Interface,” so rather than changing gameplay or balance, it can be thought of as a type that simply enhances the visuals and information display.
According to the author, this feature of “showing quest images at the trader” was previously only found in a handful of mods (the author cites their own “YOUR END” and “RAMOS XUI”), and this mod is positioned as carving out that feature so anyone can use it on its own.
Main Features
- A quest image is displayed on the conversation screen with the trader
- The system seems to apply the image automatically if a matching one is found
- It makes the content of a quest easier to grasp visually rather than through text alone, and should also help set the mood
- Uploading to servers (use in online play) is said to be permitted, so it can be considered for multiplayer environments as well
Installation Tips
Installation is likely the same as with typical mods: placing the full mod into the Mods folder. Detailed steps and any additional requirements appear to be documented within the mod folder, so we recommend giving it a read before installing.
Note that the author warns that images may fail to display when used alongside other mods that add prefabs. However, this is said to be fixed simply by restarting the game once (closing and reopening it), so you only need to try it the first time. If images aren’t showing up properly, try this restart first.
License Notes
- Modifying the code, or using or redistributing the assets without permission, is stated to require the author’s permission
- If you use it, crediting the author is required
- Using the assets for the purpose of showcasing or reviewing appears to be permitted
The details of the usage terms are said to be documented within the mod folder, so be sure to check them if you are considering reuse or incorporation into your own mod.
Who Is This For?
- People who want to get a feel for the atmosphere through images, not just text, when choosing a quest
- People who want to make the trader screen look a little richer in streams or videos
- People who want to add only comfort and information around the UI without changing game balance
Conversely, those who want to significantly change the gameplay itself may find it lacking. It can be called a solid choice for those looking for a lightweight UI-enhancement mod.
