📋 About This Mod
What it does:
This mod expands the Missing Persons - Fixer's Hidden Gems mod functionality by adding an extra button to quickly open requested shards if you already have them in your inventory.
Now you can open such shards directly from a Fixer's gig message view with a single button press/click.
This saves you the trouble of navigating menus and sifting through long shard lists to find the required shard for a job.
This extra functionality is also designed to maintain the game's immersion and the Missing Persons mod story flow.
Additionally, this mod fixes an issue in the vanilla game guest logic that prevents spawning one of the expected hidden gems sometimes.
Prerequisites:
-
[]The Missing Persons mod installed.
[
]The "Show Hints" option enabled in the Missing Persons mod settings (which is the default value).What it does not do:
- it does not activate if the Missing Persons mod is not installed or if it's installed outside its default location (e.g. its folder is renamed).
- it does not change the Missing Persons mod mod logic.
- it does not activate in gigs that require a shard that you don't have in your inventory yet or if the gig objective is to go to a certain location without collecting a shard there.
- it does not activate in the game's native messages, nor does it alter the game's messages or shards.
- while greatly facilitating reading of the Missing Persons job's shards, it does not provide any cheats, either to the game or to the main mod.
