Fast-Forward Search (FFS) 1.2.0

Faster - or even instantaneous searching of containers and corpses (configurable)

Installation

Copy CactusPie.FastSearch.dll to BepInEx\plugins directory


Settings (F12 menu)

  • Search time multiplier - how fast the items will be revealed while searching, based on the original value. By default, it's set to 0%, which means everything will be revealed immediately. Setting it to 50% will make the items get revealed twice as fast as normally, 25% will make them get revealed four times as fast etc.
  • Search initial delay - whether the delay before initiating the search is enabled. Without this mod, when you press "Search" there will be a small delay before items start getting revealed - leaving this checkbox unchecked will disable that delay. Tick this checkbox if you want to restore the original behavior. This delay is independent of the search time multiplier, which means that if it's enabled it will always take the same amount of time, regardless of the multiplier you set for revealing items.
  • Instantly reveal everything - this will combine the two options above and instantly reveal everything. The difference here is that you will no longer need to press the search button. This setting overrides Search time multiplier and Search initial delay and ignores them completely.

Big thanks to scarydzik and DrakiaXYZ for making a version-agnostic patch. Thanks to them, there is now much lower chance that the future patches break this mod

  • Version 1.2.0

    Added an option to instantly reveal everything - without the need to even press the search button. Disabled by default, you can enable it by pressing F12 and checking the "Instantly reveal everything" checkbox

  • Any plans to update for 3.8.0? would love to get back time waiting for items to search up :P


    Unlike below comments, I tested the old mod in 3.8.0 (not expecting it to work) and my experience was that the none of the dynamic loot spawns happen (e.g. crates, duffle, etc.) only the statics. Assume this part was reworked in 3.8.0 hence it not working.


    Great work btw!

    • I ran through customs several times and I can say that dynamic boxes work.

    • Hmmmmm.... wow, I wonder if I just had really 'bad' luck when I did my testing. Is the mod working entirely for you?


      In either case I will test again! thanks

    • Strange, I didn't receive a notification. Yes, I tried it and everything works fine on other cards.

  • nice work with 3.8.0

  • @CactusPie, Thanks for the update. Curious, any reason you chose to update it to only 3.7.3 and not the latest 3.7.4? Or does it work for both? Thanks in advance

    • I kept the tag at 3.7.3 because that's what I'm running and that's what compiled the mod with. It should still work for 3.7.4

  • A bit late, but I uploaded a version modified by scarydzik and DrakiaXYZ. It will work with 3.7.2 and likely with future releases too

  • I can confirm this does not work with 3.7.0/3.7.1 currently.


    Please click on Files & Scans and then Download under LeonardoVAC's Oct. 9th comment to receive the updated file for 3.7.x.

    • Thanks, it's really appreciated :3

  • Hello,

    I have 3.6.1 and downloaded your latest version that you posted below on 8/20/23, however it doesn't seem to be working. I've confirmed it is in the right folder (bepinex/plugins) where all my other .dll mods are that work.

    Perhaps it doesn't work with one of those mods?

    I've got:
    Draxia XYZ waypoints
    Dvize.DOnuts
    FershteBalancePatch
    Realism
    SAIN
    Folder names in bepinex/plugins^^^

    CactusPie.MapLocation.Minimap.dll
    DrakiaXYZ-BigBrain.dll
    Dvize.BackdoorBandit.dll
    Dvize.BushNoESP.dll
    Dvize.FUInertia.dll
    RealismMod.dll
    Sain3.6.0.dll
    Skwizzy.LootingBots.dll
    Stance-Recoil-Bridge.dll
    loose .dll files in bepinex/plugins^^^

    Doorbreacher
    ServerValueModifier
    SKwizzyNoDiscardLimit
    SPT-REALism-Mod
    SWAG
    Zsolarint-SAIN-ServerMod
    zzDrakiaXYZ-Waypoints
    In user mods folder^^^


    There is even an option if SVM for "examining time" which i set to the lowest value of 0.05. I am assuming there must be a conflict somewhere that is overriding these instant searches?

    I want to play this game as a shooter, not a search simulator LOL

    Much Thanks!

    • While this works, it does use the super annoying sound effect for the L51 ability. I very much appreciated FFS as it worked around that and I could search in silence. :)

  • Version compatible with 3.5.7

    Hi CactusPie, thank you for your mod, didn't even think I needed it that much. Seeing as it is under GNU GPLv3 license, I'll upload it here for these who, like me, can't play without it. Hope you don't see a problem with this, thank you in advance.
