Just make a whole bunch of small PNGs with numbers in them.
Correct.
With the help of ChatGPT (
and 0 javascript knowledge) i've created a .js script for execute an
Action in Adobe Photoshop.
The function was to simple create
999 png images (32
x32 pixels) with a small text inside each image which represents the number of each file.
Every creation should be auto-saved and named as it number in a pre-selected folder.
The whole process took only 10 minutes.
After that, you can copy/paste all the files into your Items folder,
without replacing current existing ones.
Now in-game you can see exactly which .png you're missing (from Quest items and everything else), even creating your own version.
We could call that merely appearance appeal, but in some occasions when you're hunting, been able to actually check the visual representation of some items helps count and avoid releasing it by mistake. Think about players unaware of all the forum informations.
Hope that answer helps.
