About this mod
Name settlers as though they were items! Includes two versions: one for Automatron users, one for those without the DLC.
- Permissions and credits
Please read the description carefully before use; there are a few issues you should be aware of, although nothing game-breaking.
This mod allows you to rename settlers as though they were guns or Automatrons! It accomplishes this by hooking into Automatron functionality which is present in the base game. One version is intended for users who own Automatron, while the other works without it; using the wrong version will cause unpredictable behavior.
How To Use
Simply place a settler naming pad (under the workshop's Special category) and then activate it. You'll be able to select any of the current workshop's settlers to rename. When you're done, exit the menu; the settler will briefly faint from shock but quickly recovers. (In actuality, they're going into ragdoll mode to reset their Havok data after being forced into a workbench that's not meant for humans - but don't tell them that, or it will shatter their illusion of free will)
Altered names are permanent and will persist even after the mod has been disabled! Uninstalling this mod after renaming your settlers should be safe.
Technical Details and Known Issues
The settler renaming pad does have a useless dummy button (helpfully renamed to "Do Not Click" in the non-Automatron version). This is unfortunately not removable, as it is the "hook" Automatron uses and is hardcoded into the game. With Automatron installed, this does allow the settler renaming pad to create and mod a new robot, although it cannot affect existing robots.
This mod relies on a very small alteration to the human and ghoul races - specifically it adds a slot which can be used to attach dummy robot mods, needed to get the workbench system to recognize them. This has no actual game effect.
This mod can't affect any actor who was renamed by a reference alias (no settlers are this way in the vanilla game, but a few companions are - Piper and Curie for instance). Settlers will also use their original names in the vendor interface if assigned as vendors, but everywhere else they use their custom name.
