This is for people who still use build mode, so if you use hotbuild then you might as well stop reading here.
So I like build mode, and still use this, but there is just that annoying problem that sometimes you forget to exit out of build mode, and you pressed a bunch of keys to execute commands, but they got lost (or interpreted as structure selection) and then you are all confused and everything goes down hill from there.
So I just wanted to make it super obvious, visually, when I am in build mode and when I am not in build mode.
So all this mod does is to detect the changes in and out of build mode, and turn on the 'ShowNormals' rendering mode when in build mode.
That looks kind of psychedelic, but does the trick for me pretty well.
If you want to play around with some kind of other visual effects, and you know a bit about modding or console commands, then it should be pretty easy to change the mod script to substitute other effects for the ShowNormals effect.
(Let us know if you find some other visual effects that you think work better for this!)
