Project BugFix

This is my attempt to clear the game of some nasty long-standing bugs, add content that for some reason wasn't added, and somewhat improve the narrative flow here and there. The total number of changes is more than five hundred, you can get full list in Files section (Patch Notes ENG).

Immediately, an explanation:

a) I don't touch everything about character development and combat - the Owlcats themselves are actively changing this part, and now @ToxicBulb accepted this challenge;

b) everything about the locations is not available in the editor I use.;

c) cutscenes can be repaired in very limited way, since most of their assets are related to b).

Attention! Gaining achievements will be blocked when using mods. To unlock this function use mod Toy Box and check the feature "Allow Achievments While Using Mod" (first page, section Quality of Life).

Это моя попытка избавить игру от некоторых застарелых багов, добавить контент, который почему-то не добавили, и несколько улучшить подачу нарратива тут и там. Общее число изменений - более пятисот, полный список можно скачать в разделе файлов (Patch Notes RU)

Сразу же пояснение:

a) все, что касается развития персонажей и боевки, я не трогаю - эту часть Совокоты и сами активно меняют, а сейчас и @ToxicBulb aka Картох поднял перчатку;

b) все, что касается устройства локаций, недоступно в редакторе, которым я пользуюсь;

c) катсцены могу чинить в очень ограниченных объемах, поскольку большая часть их содержимого - это то, что относится к пункту b.

Внимание! Использование модов блокирует получение достижений! Для разблокировки необходимо установить мод Toy Box и сделать активным пункт "Allow Achievments While Using Mod" (первая страница, раздел Quality of Life).

Installation guide:

1. MicroPatches - MANDATORY! I'm serious, my mod cant work without brilliant Micro and his hard work. Create a directory MicroPatches in UnityModManager directory (<Users>\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Warhammer 4000 Rogue Trader), and unpack archive MicroPatches-Mod with latest release there (MicroPatches-Editor is for modders only).

Manual intallation:

2. Unpack archive with my mod into Modifications directory (<Users>\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Warhammer 4000 Rogue Trader). Create this directory, if this mod is first.

3. Let's work with settings file.

a) IF this mod is FIRST in Modifications directory - download archive (MMSettings) and unpack it into the  "<Users>\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Warhammer 40000 Rogue Trader" directory, in the root. Overwrite settings file, if you have one already;

b) IF this mod is NOT FIRST in Modifications directory - you need to add this mod to existing settings file,  "OwlcatModificationManagerSettings.json". It's located in  "<Users>\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Warhammer 4000 Rogue Trader" directory, in the root.

- Open settings file with notepad.

- paste name "Project_BugFix" right after other mod(s) id(s), separated by commas, and without spaces (like ["OtherModID","Project_BugFix"] in all square brackets where "OtherModID" name is).

4. Check successful installation in in-game Mod Manager ("DLC and Modifications" menu, "Modifications" tab).

Installation through Modfinder:

2. Modfinder - get latest release, unpack it somewhere in your computer, run and put archive with my mod in the section "Drop zip here".

Just unpack new version over Project_BugFix directory in Modifications, when asking about overwrite click Yes.

Information for Mac users (my deepest thanks  Rero2Gy for this):

Out of the box, mods like Project BugFix, Banter Diversity, Expanded Animations, etc., might not work on macOS. They show up in the mod menu and the boxes are checked, but they don't actually work in the game. The issue is related to how macOS reads file paths compared to Windows. The configuration files for these mods use double backslashes (⁠\\⁠), which macOS cannot read. How to fix it:

1. Go to your mods folder (usually ⁠~/Library/Application Support/Owlcat Games/Warhammer 40000 Rogue Trader/Modifications⁠).

2. Open the mod folder (e.g., ⁠Project_BugFix⁠).

3. Open the ⁠owlcatmodificationsettings.json⁠ file with a text editor (like TextEdit).

4. Replace all double backslashes ⁠\\⁠ with a single forward
