The Advanced Inspector

The Advanced Inspector is a custom scene inspector with additional features and a minimalist appearance. It was created by ShadowX and is being actively developed together with Lixquid. The latest version can always be found in ShadowX's public folder at resrec:///U-ShadowX/R-595de062-548b-4b75-8fe5-759dafd944aa.

Version 2 Update

With version 2 of the inspector, many built-in features were converted into the new extension system. The extension-based architecture enables easier customization without needing to change things on the inspector itself. This also allows for easier upgrades to new inspector versions, as the same extensions can simply be installed onto the new version. This currently needs to be done manually but a migration utility may be available in the future.

Installation

To set it as the favorite inspector, the CustomInspectors mod (and its dependency SpecialItemsLib) are required. MyInspectors is also recommended to speed up UI generation. To use the mods, you need to set up a mod loader such as ResoniteModLoader or MonkeyLoader.

Once the mods are installed, select the latest version of the inspector in the inventory and use the "Set Inspector" button to make it the default.

Features

The following is a list of features included in the standard inspector setup. This includes features added by removable default extensions.

  • A resizable window and movable window split
  • Reference bars, letting users drag and drop selected slots
  • Collapsible components, allowing users to hide component contents
  • Quick access buttons to navigate to Root or the local user space quickly
  • Reference bars to quickly drag and drop selected slots
  • Proportional scroll bars to speed up navigation
  • Drag-and-drop functionality on action buttons, allowing users to delete slots etc. without needing to select the slot first
  • Canvas locking to easily limit access to the inspector owner
