Don't Spoil Murder Type

Prevents murder case names from spoiling the killer's M.O.

Features

• Prevents the "The case of the ${moniker}" game message from revealing the M.O. when picking a case file.
• Case board does not give by default a moniker to a newly generated tab once case file is picked up.
• Kidnapping cases seem to be "spoiler-free" by nature, they are either indirectly fixed by this mod or coded as such.

Requirements

• Modding development environment configured according to the official Shadows of Doubt Modding Guide.
• PowerShell for packaging script if desired.

Installation

Thunderstore (preferential)

• Install the latest BepInEx version for Shadows of Doubt via Thunderstore.
• Search for the mod on the Thunderstore website or use the Thunderstore Mod Manager to install it directly.

Manual

• Download the latest release from either GitHub or Thunderstore (ZIP file).
• On Thunderstore, use the "Import local mod" and select the downloaded ZIP.

Configuration

This mod does not present any configuration options.

Compatibility

This mod patches a small set of case-name related methods.

Patched base methods:

• MurderController.Murder.GetMonkier (returns a neutral, localized name)
• Case.ApplyMonikerToCaseCheck (prevents moniker-based rename and game message)

If other mods also patch these methods, compatibility issues may arise.

Troubleshooting

The code patches within this mod should be rather straightforward. However, if you experience issues, make sure to check BepInEx logs for any messages related to the mod.

Build

• Ensure required DLLs are placed in lib/ (see lib/README.md).
