* * * * *
Where ya headed? I started this mod at the end of October, thinking that it would be a quick project. Here we are over 200 destinations, 20 menu options, and 3 months later. What started as a map randomizer supplement to my alt start gameplay with the Start Me Up mod... has turned into a full-fledged mod of its own that might change how you play the game.
Teleport anywhere, or to a random category (12 total), or to a specified location. No prior visit required. DLC is optional and will be included if found (166 vanilla destinations, 42 DLC). Want to teleport from Sanctuary to Far Harbor instead of using a boat? Skip the gauntlet in Nuka-World? No problem.
Spin the camera on teleport and/or on demand. Great for taking in the view. Also perfect for showing off characters and locations in your mod videos. Or turn off the spincam in the options menu. (Bullets pass through your temporary ghost form while spinning, but the novelty will eventually wear off.)
If you choose a favorite time and weather, Hitchhiker can make sure it's always a sunny morning after you teleport. You can also force time and weather on demand.
Want to be healed during your ride? Hitchhiker can do that.
Want a ton of supplies for crafting and settlement building? Select "Ship Happens" under the holotape's Teleport Options (Advanced Options in magazine). Shipments have no weight, so Hitchhiker won't drag you down.
Finally, no post-apocalypse is complete without a Postman. Postcards and rewards will arrive as you explore. How many hitches in each category trigger rewards? The default is 5, but like all the other options, you can change that in the menu.
Your game, your rules. So hit the road, Jack.

INSTALLATION
Copy the Data folder to your Data folder and you should be good to go. The hitchhiker holotape and magazine will spawn in inventory once you are no longer in Pre-War Sanctuary or inside Vault 111. Use the hitchhiker holotape or magazine to choose a destination, then exit the Pip-Boy to begin hitching.

FAQ
Q: Can I clean Hitchhiker with FO4Edit?
A: I've already done that for you.
Q: Are scripts bad for my game?
A: Your game IS scripts. The code is open source if you want to verify its safety.
Q: Does Hitchhiker work in survival mode?
A: I don't know. One of the beta testers was also using FROST, if that counts.
Q: Is Hitchhiker compatible with weather mods?
A: Yes. Hitchhiker's default is to leave weather alone. If players choose to set weather, the temporary weather change will fade into modded weather.
Q: Why a book menu instead of a holotape?
A: Because I didn't know how to make holotapes. And the Weird Tales look matches hitchhiker lore. BigAndFlabby added a holotape in version 2.00.
Q: Hitchhiker lore?
A: HBO's The Hitchhiker series. Ray Bradbury Theater's The Town Where No One Got Off (starring Jeff Goldblum). Stephen King's Riding the Bullet. David Brin's The Postman. Creepshow 2's "thanks for the ride, lady!"

KNOWN ISSUES
- Ini files are read on game start, so setting camera min/max distance in menu has no effect on spin camera. I left settings there in case a fix is found.
- There is variation in layout between the holotape and magazine because of the magazine's limit on number of entries per screen.
- Starting in version 2.00, you will use furniture AFTER the teleport completes. Furniture use can be toggled in options menu.
- Starting in version 2.00, spinning the idle camera on demand will occasionally trigger a black loading screen first.
- If your first visit to The Third Rail is via hitchhiking, Magnolia has already finished singing. I recommend you visit before hitching.
- The postcard from Super Duper Mart has a line gap in the middle of a paragraph, despite no space being present in Creation Kit.
PROGRAMMERS
