Features

• Works on bag items (lockboxes, junkboxes)
• Works on world objects (chests, doors, footlockers)
• Works in loot windows, merchant windows, chat item links, and quest windows
• Only shows on locked objects — unlocked chests are ignored
• Zone-aware skill requirements for footlockers with multiple variants (Battered, Waterlogged, Mossy, Dented)
• Uses the game's own "Locked" text colour to determine which variant a footlocker is when multiple exist in a zone
• Two colour modes selectable via /lpt color:
  • Simple (default): Green = Pickable, Red = Skill Level Too Low
  • Match: mirrors the colour of the game's own "Locked" text (red, orange, yellow, green, or grey)
