==Purpose of this Mod==
This mod changes how long you have to wait before Lily gives you the "Gotta Be A Way Out" mission (aka "Find-The-RV"), at which point a waypoint is added for the RV's probably location.
Regarding the countdown timer being modified: I am not entirely sure when the countdown timer begins, but it might be paused while you're still living in the broken down RV.
Note: Regardless of the countdown timer duration, you won't be given the mission until after you have relocated to your first base - even if you happen to see the RV before then (requiring you to backtrack and 'rediscover' the RV again after the move).


==Requirements & Compatibility==
Save Game Compatible.
A new game might be required for the mod to take effect.
Not compatible with any mod that changes 'enclaves.win.bmd'
However, making it compatible is a simple process - just follow the steps outlined under "Manual Editing" below.


==Credits & Special Thanks==

Thanks to SwissArmyKnife for finding the relevant code and answering my questions.
Thanks to Undead Labs for creating such a fun game.
Thanks to Nexus Mods for hosting such a great collection of mods.





==Installation==
Step 1) Rename the desired '.bmd' file (e.g. 'enclaves - 1 Hour.win.bmd') to 'enclaves.win.bmd'(no 'apostrophes').
Step 2) Copy 'enclaves.win.bmd' to the directory: ".../State of Decay/game/libs/class3.1/rts" (no "apostrophes").
Note: You may need to manually create the directory if it doesn't already exist.

==Uninstallation==
Remove 'enclaves.win.bmd' from the directory: ".../State of Decay/game/libs/class3.1/rts".



==Manual Editing==
Required:
A text editor (Notepad++ preferred).
xml2bmd.exe downloaded from: https://forums.undeadlabs.com/threads/xml-compiler-is-ready.37276/

Step 1) Open 'enclaves.xml'(or one of the included versions) in your text editor of choice and change the below values (see "Lines Modified" for the lines in detail).
Step 2a) Use the 'Find/Search' function to find the appropriate lines:
The first line contains: 'FindRVMissionFirst' (no 'apostrophes').
The second line contains: 'FindRVMission' (no 'apostrophes').
Step 2b) Within the respective lines (once within each), find 'ExecuteTimeStandard="30m"' (no 'apostrophes', but there are "quotes" around the time value being modified).
Step 3) Change "30m" to whatever value you like; seconds, minutes, and hours are abbreviated '1s', '2m', and '3h' respectively.
Step 4) Save the file as 'enclaves.xml' (no 'apostrophes') - make sure it is saved as an XML file, not a TXT!
Step 5) Drag and drop the 'enclaves.xml' file onto the 'xml2bmd.exe' executable. The XML file will be processed and a file named 'enclaves.win.bmd' will be generated.
Step 6) Copy this new file to the directory: ".../State of Decay/game/libs/class3.1/rts" (no "quotes"). Note: You may need to manually create the directory if it doesn't already exist.
Enjoy.
