📋 About This Mod

Become a more realistic Vigilante Fixer! Whether you're running and gunning or hacking on the fly, this mod offers a more immersive experience with a realistic HUD/UI that hides away when your Profiler is not in use, allowing you to focus

Mod Overview

The goal of this mod is to make the profiling system more strategic and discourage simultaneous use with firearms.

The idea is to create a trade-off:

  • []Enter full combat mode with limited information, or[/]

    []Use your phone to gather intel and hack, at the cost of reduced accuracy with firearms.
[/]

This forces a choice between combat effectiveness and information gathering, adding a layer of strategy to Watch_Dogs.

What the Mod Includes

The mod consists of three scripts:

  • []the_fox_mod: The core script where the Profiler triggers the UI/HUD.[/]

    []the_fox_hacking_mode: The UI/HUD and hacking abilities are tied directly to your Profiler.[/]

    []hacking_the_fox_mode: You must first enable your hacking ability (similar to the original hacking mode), then use your Profiler to toggle the UI/HUD with it.

[ ! ] DISCLAIMER: Due to technical limitations, hacking_the_fox_mode does NOT include the enemy tagging (wall hack) mechanics.

If you want to use it, I recommend also installing _No NPC Tagging from the Optional folder.

Compatibility

To avoid conflicts, you must choose ONE option in the config file:

  • []Enable The Fox Mod[/]

    []OR Enable The Fox Hacking Mode[/]

    []OR Enable Hacking The Fox Mode[/]

    Hidden UI Elements

    The following UI elements are hidden until you activate the Profiler:

    • []The Battery[/]

      []The Minimap[/]

      []The Felony meter[/]

      []The Skill/Hack equipped (e.g., jam comms, grenades)[/]

      []The gun equipped[/]

      []Tagged Enemies (rank and outline)

      - Can be completely disabled with files in the Optional folder

      - Note: This UI mechanic is NOT a feature in hacking_the_fox_mode[/]

    The following UI element is hidden while using the profiler:

    • []The Reticle[/]

      Installation

      • []Download and install Troplo’s NexusTools [/]

        Optional Folder Overview
