SyncDiskLabels

A BepInEx (mod loader) plugin for Shadows of Doubt. Every sync disk shows its real name and what it does: in your inventory, in the Inspect window and in the shops.

What it does

Every sync disk in your inventory is labelled SyncDisk. Twelve disks in a bag look like twelve identical squares, and the only way to tell which is which is to drop one and read the label on the floor. This mod puts the real name on the square, and the real name and description everywhere else you look at a disk.

Features

• Inventory: each square shows the disk's real name. Long names wrap to two lines inside the square
• Inspect window: the real name in the title, and every effect with its description and numbers filled in, plus the side effect. Long text is split into pages by the game's own page buttons
• Shops: the buy and sell lists show the real names, and hovering a disk shows what it does instead of the generic sentence about DNA sequences
• Names come from the game's own name table, the same one the label on the ground reads. So vanilla disks, disks from other mods and the split disks from Sync Disk Suite all come out right
• If a lookup returns nothing usable, the game's own text is left exactly as it was
• Sync disk screen: a Sort button lists your installed disks newest first, oldest first, by name, or by most or least upgraded. Newest first is the default, so a disk you just installed is at the top, and the order you pick is remembered
• Already installed? In a shop's buy list, disks you already have installed are greyed out and marked "(installed)". In the sync disk screen, a spare copy of a disk you already have installed is marked "(already installed)", so you see straight away that you picked up a duplicate
• Installed disks stand out everywhere: a yellow corner flag in your inventory, the flag and "(installed)" in a shop's sell list, "(installed)" when you hover a slot or look at a disk lying in the world, and a first line in the Inspect window
• Works with the base game, no other mods needed

Config

After one launch, edit BepInEx/config/sm3gm.sod.disklabels.cfg with the game closed. Everything works without changing anything.

Setting — Default — Meaning

Sort / Enabled — true — Show the sort button on the sync disk screen.

Sort / Order — Newest — How installed disks are listed: Newest, Oldest, Name, MostUpgraded or LeastUpgraded. The button changes it.

Inventory / MarkInstalled — true — The yellow corner flag, "(installed)" in the sell list, on hover and on look-at, and the line in the Inspect window.

Shop / MarkInstalled — true — Grey out and mark disks you already have installed, in shops and in the sync disk screen.

Good to know

• Only text and order change: the label on a square, the Inspect window, the shop buttons and the order of the rows on the sync disk screen. Sync disk behaviour, prices, stock and spawning are untouched.
• Nothing is written to your save. Installing or removing the mod mid-run is safe, and removing it just puts the generic labels back.
