GotR Preload Fixes

-SeaboundSaint-

-SeaboundSaint-

This preload.tbl fixes issues in Gentlemen Of The Row's preload.tbl.

FIXES:
- "softdrink.smesh" has replaced "cigarette.smesh".
This fixes crashing when using a drink item (such as the "Big Swallow" from Freckle Bitch's).​
"cigarette.smesh" was not being used. "cigarettelife.smesh" is used, and is still preloaded.​

- "shell.smesh" has replaced "boat_medium.smesh".
This fixes an issue where shooting guns would crash the game after implementing the previous fix.​
Essentially, the ejected shell casings weren't loading. So "shell.smesh" has been given higher priority.​
"boat_medium.smesh" does not exist, so it doesn't need to be preloaded.​

- "gyro.smesh" has replaced "p_doughnut.smesh".
This fixes Company Of Gyros food items not appearing.​
"p_doughnut.smesh" was not being used. "donutab01.smesh" is used, and is still preloaded.​

- "skateboard.smesh" has replaced "carjackA01.smesh".
This ensures "skateboard.smesh" will load.​
Broken down cars parked on car jacks around the Projects district will no longer spawn.​

- "waterbottle.smesh" has been given higher priority to fix it not appearing.

- "beercan.smesh" has been given higher priority to fix it not appearing.

- "newspapercover.smesh" has been given higher priority to fix it not appearing.

- "squeegee.smesh" has been given higher priority to fix it not appearing.

- Duplicates of SaintsRowCD files have been removed.
I'm unsure why they were here in the first place. They're completely unnecessary.​

INSTALLATION:
(This mod is GotR only.)

1. COPY the preload.tbl file provided by this mod.
2. PASTE into "Gentlemen_of_the_Row_Saints_Row_2_Super_Mod_v1.9.2\optional_mod_stuff\1-MODDERS_-_PUT_YOUR_OWN_PERSONAL_MODS_HERE".
(The preload.tbl in your patch.vpp_pc will override the one in your Saints Row 2 root directory. DO NOT place this preload.tbl in your root directory or it will be overwritten every time you install your generated GotR patch files.)​
3. Rebuild your Gentlemen Of The Row custom patch by double-clicking "Create_Custom_GotR_v1.9.2.bat" and following the instructions.
4. Move the newly created contents of "MY_CUSTOM_PATCH" into your Saints Row 2 root folder (Where SR2_pc.exe is located.).
5. Launch Saints Row 2, and enjoy a nice Big Swallow!

sorry for my computer illiteracy. would replacing "cigarette" with "softdrink" mean no one (both our character and npc) can smoke (or do any action resembling smoking, or no more cigarette appears on hand" anymore?

cigarette.smesh isn't actually used by anything in items_3d.xtbl. So to my knowledge, it can't appear in-game, so doesn't need to be preloaded.
cigarettelife.smesh is used though, and is what you're thinking of. It is still preloaded, so it will still appear in-game.
 
Stun Gun its invisible, not sure if it got deleted on preload.. but in any case

I was sure I checked before and it was working. But it turns out PistolStunGun.smesh is required after all. It's not used in items_3d.xtbl, but is used in items_inventory.xtbl. My bad for not checking the correct weapon files.

maybe we can have another way, if p_stungun is the same model (and not messed up) all we have to do is edit items_inventory

For this mod, I'd like to keep it's impact as minimal as possible, and just keep the fixes to preload.tbl.

It could have been fixed by swapping the .smesh in items_inventory.xtbl, but then that introduces incompatibility with other mods. And there don't seem to be any drawbacks to simply re-adding PistolStunGun.smesh.

I was considering fixing the Bong Prop which Samedi sometimes use while sitting on the floor. But that also involves re-adding it to items_3d.xtbl.
