Caravan fast travel around the Mojave.

Allows the player to pay caravaneers to escort them around the Mojave. There are 15 destinations. The idea is to cut down the longer treks but to still require foot travel to other locations. There are other similar fast travel mods but they didn't fit my tastes, so I made this simple mod.
- Caravans allow travel between Goodsprings, Novac, Freeside North Gate (gateway to the Strip), the Mojave Outpost, 188 Trading Post, Camp McCarran, Jacobstown, Cottonwood Cove, Primm, Red Rock Canyon, Sloan, Westside West Gate, Bitter Springs, Nelson (disabled by default), and Boulder City.
- Costs 70 caps (by default) and requires the respective map markers to be discovered for each destination.
- Time passes based on distance traveled (5 hours from Mojave Outpost to New Vegas).
- Caravans will not allow travel when you are in combat. They will not show destinations that are nearby.
- The new local caravaneers are essential, stay in place and sleeps. Brahmin is also essential and will follow.
- Caravaneers should be neutral to player and NPCs.
- Traveling Merchants and Crimson Caravaneers in the world will also give travel options.
- Traveling Merchants will give a 20 cap discount if NCR fame and infamy are at +/-50% respectively. This does not apply to the local caravaneers.
- Obtaining the Explorer perk unlocks all destinations (which are enabled).
- Added the missing female Crimson Caravan trader variant from game files.
- Caravaneers are voiced, but lip sync is a little off for some lines (uses files from longer voice lines).
- Added an MCM menu to enable/disable Caravan Stops, and/or their respective dialogue options for destinations. (v2.0)
- Added MCM options to change the travel costs, discount, set costs dynamically based on distance, and also travel time. (v2.0)
Requirements:
- For the MCM, Mod Configuration Menu, which requires NVSE. Mod works without MCM using default values.
Optional Patches:
- The Living Desert - Allows the Prospector Merchants from The Living Desert to say their repair dialogue, which conflicts with my travel dialogue. Load after both mods.
- More Perks - Allows Traveling Merchants to say their repair and prospector dialogue if you have its Prospector perk.
Troubleshooting:
If you have any issues, check if anything is overwriting these records in FNVEdit:
- [INFO:00163CA9] ('Hey there. Need anything?' in GRUP Topic Children of GREETING "GREETING" [DIAL:000000C8] - for traveling merchants displaying travel option.
- aaaE7GoodspringsMapMarker [REFR:000CDF51] (places MapMarker [STAT:00000010] in GRUP Cell Persistent Children of [CELL:000846EA] (in WastelandNV "Mojave Wasteland" [WRLD:000DA726]) at -18,0) - for traveling to Goodsprings.
