📋 About This Mod
Basics:
Game update 2. 2 added The Passenger as an actual feature to the game! Including more things for Johnny to say and more things to react to.
Some feel maybe he says too much... and/or that it can get old...
This mod adds a Native Settings menu to let you:
-
[]Disable/enable the feature at will[/]
[]Control how often Johnny spawns (if you don't disable the feature) (10/20/30/40/50/60/70/80/90/100%)[/]
[]Disable various categories of dialogue (disable all of them for a nice silent passenger):
[]General comments, such as when he spawns or if you stare at him[/]
[]Combat/NCPD comments[/]
[]Speeding/stunts comments[/]
[]Crashing the vehicle comments[/]
[]Running over pedestrians comments[/]
The range of randomised delays for Johnny spawning is now shorter (15-45s, rather than 15-120s) so that it is the % spawn chance that is giving more control.
Default settings are 30% spawn rate, and no dialogues disabled.
