Yellow Paint/Tape Removal Mod?

[mdesaleah]

Is there any way to mod that silly feature out of the game? I get that some people might like the obvious constant highlights but its really annoying for it not to be an accessibility option that can be disabled.

Its very distracting, and it makes me think like the devs are treating me like I'm not paying attention to anything.

I'm sure you do.

I'm sure you don't know what that means.

I'm sure I do, but don't care to play with you.

1) I had no complaint, really. I simply replied to you to tell you that there is more than the boxes that have yellow paint.

2) It's a well known fact that these features are put into the games as a result of players becoming lost or confused during QA. I understand well what purpose they serve and, contrary to what you think, they are equivalent to characters yelling out suggestions/solutions.

The thing you seem to be misunderstanding, perhaps, is that we are simply saying that functionality such as this, including talking NPC's in games like Ragnarok, should be optional.

There is no "I think the developers think I'm stupid." They put it there because people got stuck at one point in QA. That doesn't make those people stupid, either. Some things take longer for some people, and that's fine. But especially with the current golden age of games' accessibility it wouldn't hurt to have functionality such as disabling these signposting features in-game.

You have confused people complaining and people giving feedback/criticism. I can love something and still witness and be aware of its flaws. I don't think the devs are bad, stupid or otherwise because of this feature.

You said "it feels a bit patronising." That is a complaint, so I don't know why you're saying one thing and trying to mean something else.

There is nothing wrong with developers adding in some extra help for people who are unable to locate environmental objects like breakable boxes. Would it have been better as a toggle in the menu? Yes, but it isn't there.

I know exactly what you're saying. I am saying, quite literally, that it isn't an issue. If you don't like it, there is/will be mods for removing anything you don't fancy.

Perhaps you and I are cut from a different stone. When I see things in games, I accept them as part of the experience. When you see something, you go on a forum and complain about it. Back in the old days, we took what we got and were happy with it, hand holding or otherwise.

You see, "It feels a bit patronizing" is a comment. I did not say anything about wishing it was changed at the time and I even expressly said it didn't ruin the game for me. For heaven's sake man, we're on a discussion board for the game. I'm simply trying to discuss something in the game. Not everything has to be said with the idea that something will be done about it. I'm simply discussing.

I have also said that it's okay to not have any problem with it at all. The only thing I was trying to say is that it's okay to want to disable it. The fact that we can't disable it does not make the game or devs bad, and the fact that some people want to disable it doesn't make them 'whiny'. I'm glad that there are mods for it, as that allows people to have the best of both worlds.

I'm trying to meet you on a non-antagonistic level. I understand that, to you, it's a total non-issue, as it is with most players. Honestly it just feels like a part of the formula and doesn't really bother me outside of that one instance I've described, and even then it was more of me thinking "Well why did you hide it in the first place if you've marked it?", which I think is a reasonable question to ask.

You also might be confusing me with the OP? I didn't come on the forum and make this thread. I'm simply taking part in the discourse that it brought about. As for the inevitable question of "Why?", it's simply because I enjoy doing so and talking on these forums is something I can do in my work's downtime until I get off shift and can play more.

Anyway, I apologize for being a bit snippy at points. I understand being jaded with the internet and there definitely is a lot of whinging on discussion boards, but for this topic I feel like it was a pretty genuine question and even got an answer with the mod link.

If you honestly have an issue with some yellow paint highlighting intractable points in the environment, then that's a "you" problem, not the game.

You do realize that sometimes people want to figure things out for themselves, right? This isn't as simple as "highlighting interactable objects", which you're not understanding or willfully ignoring.

As an example, there is a point where you shoot down a drawbridge. But one of the anchors is hidden from view. However there's a massive splatter of yellow paint on the wall right next to where the anchor is, meaning you don't have to look around for it whatsoever. I have no problem with the anchor itself having paint on it, but why even 'hide' the anchor if you're just going to advertise it with the paint?

If you're perfectly okay with the game guiding you like this, that's fine. It didn't ruin the game for me or anything and I'm simply illustrating that it is indeed something that could bother some people. You don't have to be antagonistic in replies to everyone and say things like "That's a "you" problem" simply because you disagree with them.

You realized most ppl don't like to smash ♥♥♥♥ around and waste time right

If you remember, my original comment WAS to the OP. You felt the need to reply to me directly, thus directly engaging me in conversation with said topic.

Just so you know, you aren't bothering me in any way shape or form. I'm simply being straight up, too many people these days piss and moan expecting something to be done about their "issue." Were you? Doesn't very much matter to me if you were or not.

You don't need to apologise. You did nothing wrong. We disagreed and had a bit of a stick waving contest. No harm, no foul.

Doesn't bother me at all....if I get stuck I'll just look up how to progress anyways.

Nothing worse than bashing your head against a puzzle when you just want to shoot more dudes with a shotgun.

Immerison breaking, inelegant game design is definitely not a user problem, bruv

Gotcha. You're clearly not reading what I'm typing since you keep saying "It's a box." So this discussion is over as you lack reading comprehension.

Nah. I just don't give enough of a hoot to entertain your inane complaint more than I already have.

Try just enjoying something without thinking the game developers are calling you stupid for making exploration simplistic.

But that is what they're doing.

"Just consume" but unironically. how compelling

Yea you can find the mod on Nexus. It doesn't get all of the yellow paint out but it catches most which is nice!

[ChrisDoesThis]

The original did the same thing. except they didn't use yellow paint. they colored the objects brighter so they would stand out in the environment. Seeing as this is a remake, the yellow tape was a compromise to keep the objects easy to see, without making them look out of place in the more realistic setting.

You also have to remember that there's a lot more detail in this version. there are boxes and barrels all over the place that you can't destroy. If there was no mark to tell people what is and isn't destructible, it would get a bit frustrating for the majority of people. I've found myself trying to destroy certain boxes without the yellow, because they just looked like they could have been destructable.

You do realize that literally every RE game up until the new remakes had special items that you could pick up either sparkle to indicate there is something there, or you could tell it wasn't part of the pre-rendered background. So, there have always been ways in RE games that try to guide people where things are. Technology has changed, so the devs had to come up with something else to mimic that.

You're a very silly person, OP, and I laugh in your general direction.

[Bacco]

The problem is the excessive amount of barrels and boxes, not the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ paint.
