AV Item Shipment Framework (AV ISF)

The Item Shipment Framework (ISF for short) allows mod authors to directly ship vanilla or modded items into the camp chest or host's inventory. It offers a superior alternative to the Tutorial Chest and Trader Inventory item shipment methods,  while also providing a tutorial chest that does not need to be summoned to get new items when you load new mods.

When users first load into the game with this mod installed, all available camp chests will receive the Item Shipment Framework Mailbox. This is the main location where mod authors will send items to their users, however, authors may additionally choose to place items directly into the host's inventory.

Inside the mailbox, users will find the Item Shipment Framework Utilities scroll case, which houses various utility scrolls that trigger commands for the framework. As well as the Tutorial Chest, located in Player 1's mailbox. This "Tutorial Chest" serves as legacy mod compatibility, for those mods which have not been updated to support the Item Shipment Framework. Additionally, it will now automatically refill as new mods add items to it! This can also be significantly faster than resummoning it if your tutorial chest contains thousands of items.

  []Volition Cabinet is a requirement for this mod, so make sure it is installed and up-to-date. Its load order should not matter;[/]

  []Import this mod's .zip file into the Mod Manager, and drag the mod from the right panel of the Mod Manager to the left panel;[/]

  []Drag this mod to the bottom of your load order, as it needs to be placed below any mods that rely on this framework;[/]

  []Save and export your load order. The ISF will now automatically pick up any mods that use the framework.[/]

To uninstall, use the scroll inside the utility case located inside any mailbox. Trashcan or Mod Uninstaller can also help you tie up any loose ends when uninstalling mods that have delivered items through ISF.

When you load a save with the mod for the first time, the ISF will automatically create an av_item_shipment_framework_config.json file with sane default options into your Script Extender folder. If you, however, want to change any of its settings, here are instructions:
