Piepieonline's CommunityCaseLoader

Load custom cases and side jobs from JSON files, which can be constructed either by hand or by using my basic tool: https://www.piepieonline.com/ShadowsOfDoubt-CaseEditor/

Technically, it can load any kind of scriptable object from JSON, but only cases and side jobs are supported right now.

Overriding max murder and job level

By default, when starting a new game, only the easiest cases and jobs are able to spawn until some have been completed. These options (off by default) bypass this behaviour and ensure that the full range is always available.

Using VMails as evidence for SideJobs

VMails spawned by SideJobs using spawnItems can now be used as resolve evidence

• Create your spawnItems entry, making sure to provide vmailThread and set an itemTag
• Add your resolve question by setting: inputType to item, automaticAnswers to spawnedItemTag, and tag to be the same as itemTag from above

Important notes:

• Each SideJob requires a unique vmailThread - you can't reuse the same ID across to jobs or tags
• Currently it only works with vmails sent by the purp!

Manual Installation

• Ensure you have BepInEx BE installed
• Extract the mod to ".\BepInEx\plugins", so you should have ".\BepInEx\plugins\CommunityCaseLoader\CommunityCaseLoader.dll"
