Features
UI

- Choose to change the Completed/Failed Objective Status into Pass/Fail, Complete/Incomplete, Successful/Unsuccessful, or even Yarp/Narp.

It's still the original rank. So you may want to stick with the Remove ICA option.

Installation
- Install DERP using Simple Mod Framework just like any other mod.
- Look through all the config options in DERP to decide what you want to change. The individual suit options and "realistic" firearms options in particular can drastically alter names. It can take some time to get used to the changes when scavenging firearms during Freelancer missions.
- Read the Load Order Instructions for tips on how to sort DERP with an item replacer mod that also renames the item.
- I highly recommend also using Heritage UI. They make the menus and HUD far more legible and not shouting in ALL CAPS EVERYWHERE. SERIOUSLY, WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? THIS IS HORRIBLY ANNOYING TO READ AND TAKES UP TOO MUCH SPACE ON SCREEN. Also, my hundreds of capitalization changes will go unnoticed without one of those mods.
- Finally deploy all your mods with the Apply button. (Only included because there will be people who forget this.)
Load Order Instructions
If you're using a replacer mod that also renames that item, you've got decisions to make.
- If DERP has an individual naming option for your suit/weapon/gear, and you like one of the available choices:
- Select the name you want to use.
- Then place your mod higher than DERP in SMF's load order.
- If DERP has an individual naming option for your suit/weapon/gear, and you don't like one of the available choices:
- Either: select DERP's Off choice for the name. That way the load order for the two mods won't matter.
- Or: place your mod lower than DERP in SMF's load order.
- If DERP changes a name but doesn't have an individual option for your item, and you like DERP's name better:
- Place your mod higher than DERP in SMF's load order so DERP's changes will be used.
- Place your mod higher than DERP in SMF's load order so DERP's changes will be used.
- If DERP changes a name but doesn't have an individual option for your item, and you like your mod's name better:
- Place your mod lower than DERP in SMF's load order so your mod's changes will be used.
- Place your mod lower than DERP in SMF's load order so your mod's changes will be used.
Compatibility
Heritage UI: Mostly Compatible
HUI's naming option includes a number of items in DERP also renames. So I've set DERP to load after Heritage UI to allow the individual options in DERP to take effect.
The Great Big Localisation Revamp: Mostly Compatible
Some of the new item names required referring to another renamed item in the descriptions. I've set DERP to load after TGBLR to allow the individual options in DERP to take effect.
Disclaimer and Warranty
This mod is still in development, not all planned items are included yet. It might eventually have support for more suit/item replacer mods. Others may never have choices for all the available mods (I'm looking at you Signature Suit, Futo, Lynch, and Freedom Phantom). I may add load order sorting rules for replacement mods that DERP has individual options for. That'll have to wait until I'm sure it won't completely ruin people's load orders. Warranty sold separately.
