📋 About This Mod
RED FILE SYSTEM
This plugin provides access to the file system using read/write operations. It supports UTF8 text and Json formats. It can be used with Redscript and CET.
This is a dependency for modders.
This plugin only provide access to directories within "<Cyberpunk 2077>/r6/storages/". Modders cannot read/write files outside of this directory. This is a security measure to prevent modders from messing with your game's installation or even your computer. Remember, if someone really want to mess with your computer, they can do so without using RedFileSystem.
LATEST CHANGES - v0. 15. 1
