Watcher Echo Ping
Last tested on game version: v1.10.4 (The Watcher)
Adds a distinctive visual and sound effect whenever entering or loading a region that has an echo present, like Saint’s campaign from Downpour. Compatible with existing saves.
Note! The effect seen at Watcher’s spawn point when starting a new campaign is part of the base game, not this mod. That’s something else!
Full description (contains spoilers for Watcher’s progression): Watcher can progress by finding echoes in different regions. However, without any kind of information about whether or not an echo is in any given region — and it isn’t clear which ones do and don’t — there’s no easy way of knowing if you should spend time scouring a given area or if you’d be wasting your time.
Saint’s campaign is also based around finding echoes and it has a preexisting effect that effectively prevents this issue entirely. I’m not sure why something like it wasn’t included with Watcher’s campaign, so I implemented it here.
Please let me know if you run into issues! I developed this primarily for myself mid-playthrough to resolve the lack of signposting in Watcher’s campaign, and it’s very plausible I missed something.
You can find this mod’s source code on GitHub[github.com], under the GPL v3 license. You can also find non-Workshop releases here, if you’re on another platform.
If you have other mods enabled, disable them first — make absolutely sure that this mod is the one that’s causing your problem, and see if the issue happens on vanilla too. If the issue persists, give me as many details as possible; reproduction steps, your platform, things like that. If you can provide your log file (BepInEx/LogOutput.log in the game directory) on pastebin or something, it would help a lot.
Bug reports without actionable information will be ignored. I can’t fix issues if I don’t know what’s causing them!
I am not in this for the cash and I am never going to stop maintaining things even if I don’t earn from them, but if you feel like giving support, you can use my Ko-fi link: https://ko-fi.com/ceresetal
