Description
So I have a confession to make: I really like radiant quests.
Didn't used to, and they certainly can't take the place of a well placed bespoke questline. But ever since I used kryptopyr's "Thieves Guild Requirements" back in the day, I've come to really appreciate them as a narrative device. Maybe your character doesn't just shoot up through the ranks? Maybe your character needs to pay some dues before they're trusted with serious business? Hell, maybe it's just a random Tuesday and they need a paycheck, so they clock in at the local fighters guild. It's good for things like that. Can help the game world feel like a place in which they live and work.
Mods like Thieves Guild Requirements add what I consider a solid check on story progress and aligns it with players actually growing in their skills and familiarity with an organization/that organization's trust in them. That's awesome! But you can also just headcannon it; you can just say "I won't take on the next primary quest until I've built my character like this, completed this many side jobs", and so on.
Or you could, as long as nobody does something silly like blocking access to the side jobs until the end of the primary questline.
Hey, uh, Beth? Buddy? ...What the hell is this?
The Ryujin faction doesn't allow the kind of gameplay I'm describing, because it doesn't let you access to the radiant quest mission board until you've basically completed the primary Ryujin questline. This mod will do something about that. It adds a separate mission kiosk to a more "open" part of the Ryujin Operations floor, and let's the player get access to it as soon as they complete the first "real" Ryujin job ("One Step Ahead"). It also includes some related changes I'll break down below.
Details
Small master plugin, loose scripts.
Installation
The download contains a data folder with the plugin and scripts. Merge that into your existing data folder however you do that with your mod management system of choice, and you're good to go.
Compatibility
I've tested this with the SF Community Patch without any ill effects on game version 1.13.61. Other than that, a patch would be needed for anything that modifies the quests/scripts/nodes I mentioned in the details section.

Details
Small master plugin, loose scripts.
- Added a new Ryujin Kiosk to the operations floor that becomes accessible when the player completes RIR01:One Step Ahead. This new Kiosk is located across from the senior operative office.
- The RI_Support quest and script has been updated to use the "MissionBoardAccessAllowed_RI" global to prevent radiants from
increasing the count towards Ryujin Leadership missions unless the player has access to the senior operative mission board (that is, is a Senior Operative). - The MissionBranch_RIR Branch Node has been updated to additionally check for junior operative access when producing missions.
- The RI_Support quest and script has been updated to use the "MissionBoardAccessAllowed_RI" global to prevent radiants from
- Added a popup informing the player about the mission board that appears after the introductory conversation to RIR02:A New Narrative.
- Added checks to each of the MissionBoard_RIR Quest nodes governing Ryujin Board mission creation, to block their associated quests until
the relevant main faction quest has been completed (i.e., Sabotage missions will not appear until after the player has completed RIR04:Accidents Happen). This is done for both narrative reasons (makes more sense to me that Imogene would tell you about a task before letting you do pick it up without supervision - you are a junior op, after all), and because the game does weird things if you run both the radiant and primary version of these quests at the same time.- This can be circumvented by setting the added "sw_rre_DisableRyujinRadiantsUntilQuest" Global to "0".
