Union Plugins – Updates to Hedin’s Plugins

Updates to Hedin’s website plugins from the last month and a half

Hedin_Union_Adv_Inventory.vdf

Improvements – 9 November 2025

• The GRawInput-2.0 mouse wrapper was updated, which broke compatibility with the external zCViewNote library, causing the inventory search function to stop working. I had to drop zCViewNote entirely and rewrite the whole thing differently.

• Added an indicator showing the current keyboard layout.

• Small fix – 16 October 2025

• Fixed a minor bug with the inventory display after a failed pickpocket attempt in Gothic 1.

Hedin_Simple_Inventory.vdf

Minor improvement – 9 November 2025

• Fixed a small visual issue: when the search bar was left empty and the player moved the mouse back into the inventory, a visual glitch would occur. The state now resets properly.

• For debugging Linux issues, a parameter needDebugSearchKey=0/1 was added, which prints diagnostic information to the console.

Improvement – 9 November 2025

• Due to the GRawInput-2.0 mouse wrapper update, which broke compatibility with the external zCViewNote library, the inventory search stopped working. The implementation was rewritten without zCViewNote.

• Added an indicator showing the current keyboard layout.

Hedin_Auto_PickLock.vdf

Improvement and Gothic 1 support – 23 November 2025

• Since I recently played one of the best Gothic 1 mods — Escape from Freedom — this update adds support for G1 and all mods based on it.

• Installation: Copy Hedin_Auto_PickLock.vdf into the /Data/Plugins/ folder.If you have the old file Hedin_Auto_PickLockG2A.vdf, remove it.

Hedin_Union_Vob_Locator_New.vdf

Small fix

• A minor technical correction.

Hedin_Union_AutoQuickLoot.vdf

Minor improvement – yesterday 16:33

• Adjusted the check for autoloot in interiors.

Minor improvement – 15 November 2025

• Slightly reworked quick-looting for NPCs. In one Gothic 1 mod, their armor wouldn’t be removed in scripts after quick-loot, because the NPC inventory was already considered “closed”.

Small fix – 1 November 2025

• Fixed a very rare crash in Gothic 1 and mods based on it. Does not affect Gothic 2.

Minor improvement – 27 October 2025

• Simplified the check in enclosed spaces — it now works similarly to the older version, before the nearby-NPC check was introduced.

• Added the key autoLootKeyTakeInRooms = MOUSE_XBUTTON1 which temporarily disables the interior check while held. This allows stealing at your own risk without automatic intervention from the plugin.
