📋 About This Mod
What it Does: aims to make the solo / coop experience better, by creating a crew AI version for every playable character that doesn't exist on the base game. The new characters added are:
-
[]Joy[/]
[]Pearl[/]
[]Houston[/]
[]Clover[/]
[]Jacket[/]
Now, here's the difference between the 2 versions:
================== BASIC VERSION ==================
-
[]Randomized Crew: Every heist now features a random selection of crew members from the entire roster, instead of always running with the same four.[/]
[]Plug-and-Play: Just drop the mod in and you're good to go. No menus, no setup, no fuss.[/]
-
[]All Basic Version Features: The full version has everything the basic version has, so choose one or the other, you don't need to have the basic version for the full version to work.[/]
[]Bot Count Control: Choose how many bots will join you on the heist, from 0 to 8.[/]
[]Custom Crew Selection: Hand-pick which crew members come along with you, or let chance decide with Random Mode.[/]
[]Pre-planning Menu: Configure everything from an integrated menu on the pre-planning screen. [/]
[]Persistent Settings: Your choices are saved across sessions.[/]
[]Loadout Aware: Since you cannot have a Crew AI character as your chosen character, the mod detects the character in your loadout and removes it from the selection list.[/]
>This mod was built and tested in Solo play. In theory, it should also work in Friends Only and Invite Only lobbies, but I haven't been able to test multiplayer myself (couldn't find anyone to help with testing).
>IMPORTANT: if you plan to use this in multiplayer, everyone in the lobby needs the mod installed. Otherwise, the extra crew characters will be invisible to non-host players.
> If you give it a try with friends, drop a comment letting me know how it went. Any feedback (good or bad) helps a lot.
> This was my first mod with UI/Menu, so it may contain some bugs, let me know if you find any and I will try to fix it as soon as possible.
> Any features you think would be cool to add, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
