How to Install

1. Extract the ZIP archive to a temporary location, using a program such as 7-Zip (free, open-source) or Bandizip (free, not open-source, but nicer UI)
    
2. Move the descendent.hud.reticle folder extracted from the ZIP archive into the DataGuiCustomFlash folder under your Secret World Legends folder (e.g.: C:Program Files (x86)FuncomSecret World Legends, or C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonSecret World Legends)
    
3. Under your Secret World Legends folder, there should now be a DataGuiCustomFlashdescendent.hud.reticleModules.xml file (alongside some other files)

 

How to Configure

• To scale the mod's UI, use chat command /setoption descendent_hud_reticle_scale <value> (where <value> should be replaced by a number, and defaults to 100); this scaling is multiplicative with the mod's automatic, resolution-based scaling
   
• To disable the default weapon UI, go to "Interface Options", and under the "HUD Display" tab, under the "Weapon Status" group, disable "Enable left weapon status", "Enable right weapon status", "Enable left energy display", and "Enable right energy display"
   
• To disable the default nametag UI, go to "Interface Options", and under the "HUD Display" tab, under the "Nametags" group, disable "Show target nametags" and "Show reticle target nametag"; more settings are in "Interface Options", under the "HUD Functionality" tab, under the "Nametags" group
   
• To disable the default health and activation UI at the bottom of the screen, go to "Interface Options", and under the "HUD Display" tab, under the "Player Info" group, disable "Show player info" and "Show player cast bar" (also, under the "Target Info" group, disable "Show target info" and "Show target cast bar"); however, disabling the default health UI also disables the default buff/debuff effects UI, and therefore isn't recommended unless you use another mod to monitor buff/debuff effects
   
• To change the style of the reticle to a crosshair, go to "Interface Options", and under the "Combat" tab, under the "Targeting" group, change the "Crosshair type" dropdown to "Crosshair"
