Changing Rewards Within The Unlockables File

Here is a quick little document on how to change rewards within the
unlockable file. (Remember if you edit files always back them up first.)

Here we are going to change the cars that are unlocked at the end of the
Escort missions.

Changing A Reward For A Similar Reward (IE Vehicle for vehicle)

car_4dr_Classic02 is the Ethel
car_4dr_luxury05 is the Socialite

(unmodded code)
<Unlockable>
<Name>Escort_All</Name>
<Type>
<Vehicle>
<Vehicles>
<Vehicle>
<Type>car_4dr_classic02</Type>
<Variant>Escort</Variant>
</Vehicle>
<Vehicle>
<Type>car_4dr_luxury05</Type>
<Variant>Escort</Variant>
</Vehicle>
</Vehicles>
</Vehicle>

All you really want to do here is change the name of the vehicle and
the name of the variant. (You can check the vehicle xtbl file for the vehicle
that you are using to replace the original. A quick search for variant
will give you all of the variant names.)

(modded code)

<Unlockable>
<Name>Escort_All</Name>
Type>
<Vehicle>
<<Vehicles>
<Vehicle>
<Type>car_2dr_exolux01</Type>
<Variant>Bling</Variant>
</Vehicle>
<Vehicle>
<Type>car_4dr_standard07</Type>
<Variant>Beater</Variant>
</Vehicle>
</Vehicles>
</Vehicle>

Here I have changed the cars to a Baron and a Churchill
car_2dr_exolux01 = Baron
car_4dr_standard07 = Churchill


Changing A Reward for a different type of the same reward (ie single piece of clothing for an outfit)

Let's change the traffic cone hat for a full outfit

(unmodded code)

<Unlockable>
<Name>Diversion_Surf</Name>
<Type>
<Clothes>
<Items>
<Item>
<ItemName>Traffic Cone hat</ItemName>
<ItemVariant>Stripes</ItemVariant>
</Item>
</Items>
</Clothes>
</Type>

Here I have changed it for a custom outfit. You can find the names of
all the predefined outfits in the customization_outfits.xtbl

(example)

<Outfit>
<Name>Police Outfit</Name>
<Display_Name>Police Outfit</Display_Name>

You want to use the outfit named defined in the name flags
not the one in the display name flags

(modded code)

<Unlockable>
<Name>Diversion_Surf</Name>

<Type>
<Outfit>
<Outfit>LupinRed</Outfit>
</Outfit>
</Type>

Be sure to change the code Clothes > Items >Item to outfit

Changing A Reward Of One Kind For Another Kind

Here we will change the shock paddles (Ambulance Diversion Reward) for an outfit

(unmodded code)

<Unlockable>
<Name>Diversion_Ambulance1</Name>
<Type>
<Crib_Weapon>
<Name>shock_paddles</Name>
</Crib_Weapon>
</Type>

(modded code)

<Unlockable>
<Name>Diversion_Ambulance1</Name>
<Type>
<Outfit>
<Outfit>LupinGreen</Outfit>
</Outfit>
</Type>

Here we have to change the reward type from crib_weapon to outfit.

Adding items to a reward unlock

For this example we are going back to the escort reward unlock

(unmodded)

<Unlockable>
<Name>Escort_All</Name>
<Type>
<Vehicle>
<Vehicles>
<Vehicle>
<Type>car_4dr_classic02</Type>
<Variant>Escort</Variant>
</Vehicle>
<Vehicle>
<Type>car_4dr_luxury05</Type>
<Variant>Escort</Variant>
</Vehicle>
</Vehicles>
</Vehicle>

To add another car to this unlock you would just add another vehicle entry

(modded)

<Unlockable>
<Name>Escort_All</Name>
<Type>
<Vehicle>
<Vehicles>
<Vehicle>
<Type>car_4dr_classic02</Type>
<Variant>Escort</Variant>
</Vehicle>
<Vehicle>
<Type>car_4dr_luxury05</Type>
<Variant>Escort</Variant>
</Vehicle>
<Vehicle>
<Type>suv_4dr_luxury05</Type>
<Variant>Standard</Variant>
</Vehicle>
</Vehicles>
</Vehicle>


Here the third entry unlocks a Bulldog. You could in theory also
unlock a fourth car at the same time. But it should be noted that you can
only unlock so many rewards at once, and I don't remember the exact number
right now.

Enjoy customizing your rewards.

I wasn't watching what I was doing and put this in the wrong place. It should be in tutorials.

Sorry

Thank you for this tutorial when I can think of something good I will probably change the red light septic avenger and mayhem rewards.
 
You're quite welcome. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I agree with you about the septic
avenger rewards. I changed mine. I created a custom outfit (sewer worker) and customized the
Septic Avenger wehicle.

Have fun
