Initial Setup: Compatibility Test

  • this is an OCR-based feature that requires a compatibility test first

    • OCR-features share this test, so if you have already completed it for a different feature, you can skip this section

  • open the character-stats screen in game (default: C)

  • open the settings menu by clicking the cogwheel icon on the toolbar and go to the necropolis section

  • the checkbox to enable the feature will be highlighted in red because the test has to be done first

    • click the checkbox to open the Windows Snipping Tool

    • use it to screen-cap 4 to 5 lines of text from the character-stats screen

    • a new window will open, asking you to transcribe a certain number of unique words on the image

    • if this compatibility test succeeds, the checkbox can be ticked to enable the feature


Initial Setup: Screen-Checks

  • this feature requires setting up a screencheck so the tool can find the lantern UI on screen:

  • open the settings menu by clicking the cogwheel icon on the toolbar and go to the screen-checks section

  • click the cal button next to necro: lantern, and the Windows Snipping Tool will open

    • screen-cap the plaque as shown above

    • click the test button to confirm that the screen-check works correctly


General Usage

  • whenever the in-game lantern UI is on screen, you can press the omni-key (default: middle mouse-button) to activate this feature

  • recognized lantern mods will be highlighted white by default, empty boxes black

    • if a text-box is covered by black highlighting, the scan failed and you may have to rescan

    • there is a debugging option in the settings for situations where scans repeatedly fail: use it to find out what's wrong

  • hover over a mod and press number-keys 1 to 5 to apply customizable colors, or press space to reset to default

  • the overlay also tracks mods if you re-arrange them

    • however, it only supports dragging them, and single clicks will be completely ignored

    • there is a very short delay between clicking and the game registering the drag, but I don't think you have be super careful, just make sure you don't flick your mouse immediately after clicking


Fine-Tuning the Overlay's Position on Screen

  • since the overlay's position is based on its lantern screen-check, more precision than usual is required

  • if you're unable to fully align the screen-cap with the in-game UI, you can fine-tune the overlay's position manually in the settings menu

  • open the in-game lantern UI, the overlay, and then the settings menu

    • under overlay offsets, adjust the values for x-axis and/or y-axis until the overlay aligns with the in-game UI
