Trader Namer 2.1.0

Please do not ask when mod authors will update their mods to 3.9.X
Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to eventual bans.

Change your traders' names and avatars.

After changing avatars, you must go to the launcher's settings and click "Clean Temp Files" at the top.


This mod will let you change traders' nicknames and avatars.

The novel difference from other avatar-swapping mods is that it uses trader nicknames instead of obscure avatar IDs that don't match the trader ID.

Both features of the mod should work for custom traders as long as this mod loads after them.


Setting Trader Names

Edit config/names.json and add a new line between the {} in the format "Default Name": "New Name".

The key (left) should be the trader's default English nickname like "Prapor" or "Therapist", the value (right) is what you want their new name to be.

Examples:

Code
{
 "Prapor": "Sidorovich"
}
Code
{
 "Prapor": "Sidorovich",
 "Fence": "Drebin"
}

You can also change the trader's information like Location and Description.

Valid keys for this extended syntax are "FullName", "FirstName", "Nickname", "Location", and "Description". All are case-sensitive.

Code
{
  "Prapor": {
    "Nickname": "Sidorovich",
    "Location": "Rookie Village in the Cordon",
    "Description": "A reliable source of equipment for stalkers."
  },
  "Fence": "Drebin"
}


Setting Trader Avatars

Name an image based on the trader's default English nickname like Prapor.jpg and put it in the mod's avatars folder.

Images should be JPEG or PNG and sizes around 500x500 work best.

  • Version 2.1.0

    Now allows alternate syntax to edit other parts of the trader's locale values like Location and Description.


    To do this, use an object instead of nickname.

    Code
    {
  "Prapor": "Sidorovich",
  "Fence": "Drebin"
}

    changes to

    Code
    {
  "Prapor": {
    "Nickname": "Sidorovich",
    "Location": "Rookie Village in the Cordon",
    "Description": "A reliable source of equipment for stalkers."
  },
  "Fence": "Drebin"
}

    Valid keys are "FullName", "FirstName", "Nickname", "Location", and "Description". All are case-sensitive.

  • Version 2.0.1

    Fixes Lightkeeper, BTR Driver, and Ref

  • Version 2.0.0

    Currently the 3.9 launcher's "Clean Temp Files" option does not work correctly.
