This mod contains a file which will unlock the story's Extended Mode right from the start. It only takes a few minutes, and you won't have to finish a whole playthrough.
Instructions:
- Find your game's install directory and go to the "MissionLogic" folder. Its path will be like this: "Phantom Doctrine\IWTB\Content\Data\Design\MissionLogic". -- Tip: You'll need to come back to this folder, so don't close the Window.
- Make a copy/backup of the original file "L031_WMMR_nuclear_test_site.xml". It can stay inside this folder, and you can rename it to something like "L031_WMMR_nuclear_test_site.xml.BACKUP". You can also copy it to somewhere else on your PC. -- Warning: This file will be needed later, so make sure you do this.
- Replace the previously mentioned file with the one in this mod. -- Warning: Don't touch your backup file. Just leave it there with its weird name. It's fine.
- Start the game.
- Once you're on the Main Menu, start a New Game as the CIA. Difficulty doesn't matter, so go with Easy. Skip/Uncheck/Don't Check the tutorial, unless you really don't know how to move your agents and/or end a game turn. Your main agent's information and appearance don't matter either.
- Skip the story movies.
- Once you're in-game, forget about everything you can do, and just complete the main objectives (UI - Screen Top Left). Shortly, the objective "Reach the Sealed-Off Area" will show up, if it doesn't show already. This area is right after some red detecting lasers on the wall. Just go through these lasers. It'll alert everyone, but it doesn't matter.
- Once you've reached the correct place, the quest will show/change to green. Once this happens, and it's your turn again, save the game, and then quit to desktop. You have now unlocked the Story's Extended Mode!
- Go back to the "MissionLogic" folder, in "Phantom Doctrine\IWTB\Content\Data\Design\MissionLogic".
- Delete the file you replaced, which is the one that came with this mod, named "L031_WMMR_nuclear_test_site.xml".
- Recover the game's original file, the one you backed up. If you renamed it, rename it again to "L031_WMMR_nuclear_test_site.xml" and erase any ".BACKUP" from the name or anything like that. If you copied it somewhere else, move it back here.
- Just start the game, and when starting a new game, the Extended Mode will be permanently available. Enjoy!
