📋 About This Mod
Adds buttons to REF's menu to unlock layered armor and weapons for the player or palico (otomo) so you can go fashion hunting right from the start.
Due to REF. NET (C# API) still not working for TU 4, I've decided to spend days rewriting this as an LUA mod. Requirements/install instr., etc have changed, ACTUALLY RE-READ THEM!
(And, really, it was a huge PitA to do, but, well, it's finally done. Enjoy.)
This adds some buttons under Script Generated UI:
-
[]Layered Armor Unlocker
[
]Layered Weapon UnlockerYes, it's two menus. The two files uploaded here. One only for armor, and one only for weapons.
An overview of the options provided:
-
[]Unlock All Player/Palico Layered Armor/Weapons in Current Save
[
]Unlock Valid Player/Palico Layered Armor/Weapons in Current Save[]Unlock Individual Player/Palico Layered Armor/Weapons in Current Save (Sub-menu: Unlock just a single armor/weapon series this way.)
[]Lock All Player/Palico Layered Armor/Weapons in Current Save (Inverse of pressing 'unlock all'.)
Load your save, open the menu, expand options (see the image if you need it), press whichever buttons you like, and check the equipment appearance section from the camp. Everything should be in there. (If you do this in that menu, back out and in again to see changes.)
Doesn't fuck with progression or crafting/acquiring layered armor/weapons normally, in any way.
Weapon unlocks are split by weapon type! See screenshot if you can't understand this.
All vs. Valid:
-
[]All
[
]Unlocks ALL and I mean ALL armor/weapons that exist, or potentially exist, when you press the button.[]Will unlock ALL layered armor/weapons permanently. And I mean ALL.
[]Unlocks every armor/weapon series that exists in the enum, whether the game is using it or not. (Since the game will just ignore unused entries.)
[]If you used this button and the game adds more armor in the future, you'll already have it unlocked by pressing this in the past.
[]IT UNLOCKS EVERYTHING!!!!!
[]Yes, I'm repeating myself, but people still don't get this so....
[]Valid
-
[]Only unlocks all of the armor/weapons that appear in the layered armor/weapon data files.
[
]Thus, this is limited to whatever patch level of the game it was built against, and will need to be updated in the future when more layered armor is added in game patches. - This is a more accurate/constrained unlock, but not guaranteed to be perfect; something unused might still slip by.
