LittleRedSonja CAS

Description

New Version 1.4.0.

CAS is perfectly compatible with the new 2.5 version of the game, no update needed at this moment.

Remains backwards compatible with all game versions from 2.0 to the current latest version of the game.

Cosmetic Armor System (CAS) is a support mod that allows full integration of custom armors and outfits into the new cosmetic/wardrobe system introduced in v 2.0 of the game.

In this first version, support needs to be added manually for the different mods, so if you know of any other custom armors, let it be known and support will be gladly added for those too.

The idea with this mod is for it to serve as a common support mod for other custom armor mods.

Since Version 1.2.0 of the mod it includes the possibility to choose between 3 different options on how to use and unlock your cosmetics:

– “Standard”: The cosmetics will unlock like in vanilla, you need to scrap the armor to unlock the cosmetic).

– “UnlockAll”: ALL the cosmetics are unlocked and available from the beginning, you do not need to scrap the armor to unlock them. This includes both the vanilla armor cosmetics and all the supported modded armor cosmetics. DLC CONTENT IS ONLY UNLOCKED IF YOU OWN THE DLC  (It DOES NOT unlock DLC content if you do not have the DLC in your account).

– “Disabled”: The cosmetics feature is no longer functional. The cosmetics UI is still there, for compatibility reasons, but it will not work. This was a request and I guess it can be useful for example for pvp scenarios where you do not want players to “hide” what armor they are wearing).

You can choose the option you like more, and you can also switch between the three in the same save without problems as far as I could test. In this version of the mod, the configuration file is defaulted to UNLOCKALL, since I think it is the option that most people will like to see, but you can change it to any of the other 2 options whenever you want. 

If you are happy with the default option (Unlock All) you do not need to do anything with the configuration file. The options are there for you just in case you want to enjoy your cosmetics in a different way 🥰.

Fully tested and 100% compatible with Rebirth and EFT overhauls, and most likely also full compatible with any other overhaul.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE BETWEEN THE 3 OPTIONS:

1- Open this configuration file, inside the mod folder. You can use whatever text editor you want, for example Notepad, Notepad ++ or any other. 

2- Once opened in a text editor, it will look like this. Simply replace the current option (“UnlockAll” in the picture) with the option you like best (Standard, Disabled, or UnlockAll).

3- Save the file, and play 🥰

In a future update I will try adding these options as a new Option in the game options menu. 

Why a separate mod and not including this into each of LittleRedSonja & Mumpfy armor mods?

First because having ONE single support core mod for this allows for easy maintenance and only need to improve and develop one mod, and not 50 different small patches spread across many mods.

Second, because having a centralized unique support mod for integration prevents ID incompatibilities between different mods including cosmetics. That means better compatibility between different mods, better support, and less chance of errors.

Third, because this mod includes c#. That means, EAC must be turned OFF. While this might not be a problem for most people, some other people might want to keep EAC ON. All LittleRedSonja & Mumpfy armors mods can be used with EAC ON, so this should not cause problems with that.

This mod will also be developed as part of learning C#, with new features to make it more automatic, inclusive, and easy to use. Part of what has already been learned is being used, and there’s real excitement about adding more new features and cool stuff to it 😊.

Hope you like the cosmetics, and please let it be known if you find problems, glitches, have any suggestions, or want any other mod to be included for support.

Big thanks to all the nice people in Guppy Discord, and very specially Yakov for the help refining this mod 🥰
