Modular Prologue

IMPORTANT NOTICE

VERSION 1. 3. 0 COMES WITH A LOT OF CHANGES, DON'T EVEN HOPE YOU CAN CONTINUE A GAME YOU STARTED WITH AN EARLIER VERSION.

Why?

This mod was born from my work on Live The Montage and  Prolonged Prologue. At first it contained all that is contained in Modular Intro. That full content was moved to Modular Intro, and this mod now focuses only on the custom prologue part.

It expands on the placeholder added in Modular Intro to further divide it in finer-grained pieces, so that modders can implement their mod in an hopefully cleaner way.

The placeholder is divided in 3 main phases:

- Initialization, where things like a teleport point, items to give to the player are set

- Main part, which deals with open world, end of the sequence

- Cleanup, which, well, cleans up stuff

Initialization itself is divided in smaller parts:

- Inventory, which deals with items to add to the inventory in the broad sense (i.e. weapons, clothes, but also cars for example). It is also sub-divided (see below)

- Spawn, dealing with teleport the player, play scenes, populate the spawn point, etc.

The Inventory phase is further divided:

- common for items to add regardless of chosen life path

- 1 placeholder per life path (Street Kid, Nomad, Corpo) + 1 for a possible custom life path (such as Fresh Start).

To implement your own version of events taking place between the life path mission and the montage, override the relevant parts and make sure your mod loads before this one.

An example of a mod implementing this is Live The Montage.
