DetectiveSquint

Detective Squint

Narrow your eyes. Hold Z and your view zooms in smoothly, so you can read a sign across the street, get a good look at a face, or case a window before you go anywhere near it. Let go and it eases back out.

Features

• Smooth zoom to 2.5× while you hold the key.
• Steady aim. Mouse look slows down to match the zoom, so a magnified view doesn't feel twitchy.
• Works at computer screens too, which makes small text easier to read.
• Stays out of the way in menus, the map, documents and conversations.
• Your settings are safe. Your field-of-view setting is restored exactly when you let go, and your saved sensitivity is never changed.

Configuration

After the first launch, edit BepInEx/config/sodmods.detectivesquint.cfg (or use r2modman's config editor):

Setting — Default — Description

Controls.SquintKey — Z — Key to squint

Controls.Toggle — false — Press once to squint, again to stop, instead of holding

Squint.Zoom — 2.5 — Magnification while squinting

Squint.Speed — 6 — How quickly the view zooms in and out (higher = snappier)

Squint.ScaleMouseSensitivity — true — Slow mouse look down to match the zoom

Safe to remove?

Yes. It doesn't store anything in your saves, so you can add or remove it at any time.

Compatibility

• Requires BepInExPack IL2CPP (installed automatically by r2modman/Gale).
• Built for the main (IL2CPP) branch of the game, not the mono beta branch.
