ED5 Hover Chests

Fallout 4 Style Looting UI for RPG Maker MZ

Version 1.0 | By ED5

Tired of pausing the game flow every time your player opens a chest? Bring modern, fast-paced looting to your RPG Maker MZ project with this Fallout 4-inspired looting system.

Instead of locking the player into a message box sequence, this plugin displays a sleek, floating UI window next to the container. Players can inspect items by hovering and grab them instantly without stopping the action.

✨ Key Features

• Quick Looting Interface: View contents just by walking close or hovering your mouse. No more button mashing through "You found a Potion!" text boxes.

• Two Display Modes:

  • List Mode: Classic scrolling list with names and amounts.

  • Grid Mode: Compact icon-only grid for visual looting.

• Detailed Info Tooltip:

  • Shows item descriptions, stats (Atk/Def), and icons.

  • Auto-Scrolling Text: Long descriptions automatically marquee scroll so nothing gets cut off.

  • Smart positioning prevents the window from going off-screen.

• Fully Customizable UI:

  • Set custom background images for both the Loot List and the Info Tooltip.

  • Adjust fonts and button skins.

• Input Versatility: Works seamlessly with both Mouse/Touch and Keyboard/Gamepad (Hold OK to focus).

• Random Loot Support: Built-in hooks for specific random loot generation logic (works best with ED5_RandomLoot but stand-alone friendly).
