Mobile Phone

Featured on PC Gamer!

Description

This mod provides you with a smartphone interface and a pre-installed phone app that lets you talk to friendly villagers from anywhere.

The phone app lets you call and receive calls, which allows you to chat (play daily dialogue), reminisce (replay old events with the NPC), or invite friends on outings (if you have an invite installed, like this one).

Creating and adding apps to the smartphone interface offers an alternative to hotkeys, which can be especially useful for actual mobile (Android) users, users with many mods installed whose hotkeys might conflict, or mod authors who want to avoid hotkey conflicts when creating mods.

Usage

Manipulating the Phone:

To open and close the phone, press the toggle hotkey (End key by default) or click on the small phone icon (set ShowPhoneIcon to true in the config).

To rotate the phone, press the rotate hotkey (PageDown key by default). There is also a rotate app in the phone (optional).

Move the phone around the screen by dragging with the mouse on the phone edge (not its screen).

Move the small phone icon around the screen by dragging it with the mouse.

You can disable the phone icon in the config.json file.

App List:

To get the name of an app, hover over the app icon.

To switch app order, long-press on an app and drag it to the new position.

Phone App:

Open your phone book by clicking on the phone app.

Scroll through phone contacts by dragging with the mouse.

Close the app by pressing the phone hotkey (End) or Esc.

By default, the phone app only shows NPCs with at least 1000 friendship points (4 hearts). You can change the point requirement in the config.json file.

There are also two config entries called CallBlockList and CallAllowList. You can use one or the other to either choose specific NPCs who cannot call or be called, or choose specific NPCs who can call and be called. Just add NPC names to one list or the other, separated by commas, to use that list. E.g:

"CallBlockList": "Alex,Shane",

Customize App:

The phone is customizable and reskinnable using the Customize app that comes with the phone.

There are four skins included with the mod: black, white, pink, and pink with decals (see screenshots); there are two backgrounds included as well.

There are no ringtone files included with the mod, but two built-in sounds are added to the Ring tab.
