Shadow Sale: A Character Creator

Description
A tool to quickly create your ideal characters for future UGC purposes. Features a small story to keep you amused.
---------------------

Intro:

Someone on the forums asked for a tool to allow them to create a character for future UGC. So I started doing so, then decided I wanted it to be a little something more than just a platform suspended in space with a few people standing on it. So, I decided that I'd make the creator a little more atmospheric for players while they go on with their business.

---------------------

Current Features:

- Easy Karma/Nuyen generator: Check your motorcycle to grant yourself more Karma or Nuyen.

- One Time AP Boost!: As requested, you can now reflect on your life to gain an additional Action Point.

- Vendors are people too!: The vendors are divided by what they sell (check in-game to see who sells what), and have a glimpse of personality and characteristics. You're not here for a story, but its nice to have something no?

-- These people will return in a story related to the one glimpsed at in this Creator.

- Free Beer!: Don't drink and drive, chummers.

---------------------

Possible Future Features:

- Test your build in combat: I might add an (optional) fight with Lonestar or the Lakota Mafia, so that players can quickly test their builds in a 'live' combat scenario. Returning to the Creator, so this is unlikely for now.

- Smile for the Camera!: Not necessary, but maybe I'll change the title picture to make it stand out a bit from everything else. . .

- Extended Edition Support: I'll add a version with the Extended Edition items to it.
---------------------

Known Issues:

- You're a horrible customer!: Player doesn't like to approach or make eye-contact with Hammer-Arm in a normal way. Not sure what's causing this.

- Who turned out the Lights?: Camera fades for a little longer than is comfortable when you equip items after buying them from a vendor. . .don't know why, its nothing from my work. . .

-Extended Edition Inaccessibility: While initially planned to be included, weaponry and items from the Post-Game campaign, Shadows of Hong Kong, cannot be found in the creation kit at this time and are thus not included yet.

-incompatibilities: Having items from custom content and the Shadows of Hong Kong post-game campaign in your save causes blackscreens upon entering your inventory or the shop menus. There is nothing I can do on my end at the moment.

No, You are not able to import a character save into the main campaign through the sole usage of this mod.

But, if memory serves, someone else on the workshop has made a mod that will allow you to import characters into an edited version of the main campaign.

hey sorry for the noob question, can the character in this mod be imported to the main game as a new game save file? ive been searchng up how to import character saves and found something for dragonfall, but couldnt replicate it in hk. ill keep reading the comments here to see if my questions been covered already, but im slow at reading these days so thought id post a question. thanks for the help in advance!

Glad we could figure this out together, Karien.

I'll add a notification to the 'Known Issues' section so other people know in advance that completion of 'Shadows of Hong Kong' creates blackscreen issues.

Yeah, confirmed. Post-game complete chars will cause blackscreens, but maingame complete only chars open shops fine. Kinda lucky I still have that save. XD

But considering shops loads fine in that other import friendly custom game, might just be bonus complete giving issues since you did say that you didn't add in those things. Maybe I'll try with my maingame save and see what happens.

That could be the case, as I have not tested a file with the main-game AND post-game completed, nor do I use any other workshop files in conjunction with those files.

It could be that the game is looking for things either in the shops or on your character that do not exist in the base-game (Workshop-items, ETC).

Importing an end game character from the bonus. Mostly wishing to tweak gears. I'm now wondering if it's trying to load other things due to having some data packs from the workshop downloaded.

I have re-checked both M.E.D.I.C.'s and Walks-Many-Paths' stores in both versions, and recieved no issues.

I have also looked into the file itself and the language used to bring up the shop.

There are no issues with the language.

--------

Are you creating a new character or importing an existing character from different content? (official or otherwise)? I have tried making a new character and importing an existing one, and have recieved no issues.

The only thing I can really note is that the screen gets a little darker in Walks-Many-Paths' shop, but does not affect performance or ability to use the content. This has been a known situatuon, but not truly an issue.

-------

Overall, I can conclude so far that there is no issue on my end as to why the shops would not be working.

Just the current Steam ver of SRHK-EE and Discord running. Tried acessing the mage/shaman/adept shop led to a very black screen. I basically went to chat with them and after the first talk, went straight into their shops. Motorbike worked fine though, not too sure about the leave button since I blackscreen'd. The other store I tried opening was the medical supplies store. Same issue as the mage store, just translucent black? Could see a hint of the background and characters. Didn't try the rest due to annoyance at the earlier two tries.
