Chop Shop - No Customisation Needed

[AlexanderTheAlright]

This simple mod removes the need to customise the cars you steal for the Chop Shop Activities, similar to how it works in Saints Row 2. This won't be compatible with any mods that edit lc_chop01.xtbl, vk_chop01.xtbl or wr_chop01.xtbl, but it'll be compatible with any other mods!

To install this mod, unzip the mod's zip file, copy the .xtbl files into your unpacked misc and misc2 folders, and then repack the misc and misc2 folders. I haven't personally used PhantasyRow, so I can't help with installation if you want to do it that way!

Now we just need to make hitman more easier.

I tried removing the weapon requirements for the targets, but it would crash every time I tried to access Hitman on the activities tab. Didn't test whether it worked when killing someone though!

What about increasing the Hitman target spawn chance?

 

[AlexanderTheAlright]

That's quite an easy thing to do! By editing spawn_info_categories.xtbl, you can make certain civilian types spawn wherever you like, and increase their pedestrian and car density.

I actually removed both the weapon requirement and the need to select hitman targets in the tab for them to show in the minimap, but I haven't pushed it to Xenia's game-patches

keep in mind this is only for the Japanese version

[[patch]]
    name = "Better Hitman"
    desc = "Removes weapon requirements on hitman targets, and also removes the need to select a hitman target to appear on the map, with a caveat that all hitman targets will appear even if the activity hasn't started."
    author = "Clippy95"
    is_enabled = true

    [[patch.be32]]
        address = 0x821D85B8
        value = 0x48000038
    [[patch.be32]]
        address = 0x821DAE04
        value = 0x60000000

The first one removes the weapon requirement, second one is the minimap one which has an issue with the targets appearing even if you haven't started hitman so killing them does nothing.
