Chest/Door Reveal

in Feature Requests
Hi, I'm not sure if this has been requested. I tried to look but couldn't see anything.

I was wondering if a button to reveal loot and doors (or caves, tunnels, etc. that lead to new areas) could be implemented for the OS X/Windows versions.

I know holding Tab will reveal loot and doors, but it doesn't reveal passageways without doors. I played through BGEE on my iPad and was amazed at what I found that I never noticed playing on my computer, all because of the toggle Magnifying Glass button. I feel its very easy to overlook many things in the game without it.

    Add this line to baldur.ini:

    'Program Options', 'Show Triggers on Tab', '1',

    That will give you the behavior you're looking for.

    Cool, thank you very much. Does this work for BG2EE as well?

    It does indeed. The feature was actually developed with BGII:EE in mind.

    It doesn't seem to be working for me. :(

    Here is how it looks when I hold tab. The other is with my iPad.

    Edit: I put the same line into BG2EE and it doesn't seem to be working either.

    This line should work:

    'Game Options', 'Show Triggers On Tab', '1',

    That's what I get for typing from memory. :)
