Document Scanner

A BepInEx (mod loader) plugin for Shadows of Doubt. Look at a file, folder, work rota or record and its details go into the citizen file, the way a business card does.

If it saves you some clicking, please leave a like on the mod's Thunderstore page. It keeps me motivated to make more mods. Donations are welcome too:

What it does

A business card adds its details to the citizen file the moment you look at it. Most other paperwork only does that once you open it, so going through an office or a filing cabinet means opening every single page. This mod makes the rest of the paperwork work like the business card: look at it and the details are added.

Features

• Employee folders and resident files: the page you are looking at adds its records, exactly as if you had opened it
• File boxes in apartments: the documents inside are added as you look through them
• Work rotas: looking at one adds it
• Loose employee records, work documents, ID cards, work ID cards and employee photos: looking at one adds it
• Flip through a file as fast as you like: every page that shows is added, even the ones you skip past quickly
• Your choice of popups: the game's own popups as things are found, all of them at once when you pause, or one short line such as "37 new details"
• Records that reveal someone's fingerprints give those prints their letter, as opening the record would
• The city directory is left alone on purpose, since it would fill your files with half the city at once
• Nothing is added that opening the document would not add. The game does the adding, the mod only saves you the clicks
• Works with the base game, no other mods needed. Pairs well with Citizen File Popups, which tells you what was added

Config

Works without any setup. After one launch, BepInEx/config/sm3gm.documentscanner.cfg has two settings (edit with the game closed):

• Messages / ScannerPopups: Game (default) shows the game's popups the moment something is found. Batch holds them while you flip and shows them all at once when you pause. Summary shows one line instead, such as "37 new details".
• Fingerprints / AssignLetters: when a scanned record reveals someone's fingerprints (an employee record, for example), their prints get their letter, as opening the record would. On by default. Mods that remove fingerprints from records are respected.
