Changelogs
Version 1.10
Fixed StarfieldConsole.ini keybinds not working since 1.09 due to Starfield GetFormFromFile command not working with .ESM Light Masters without Starfield Engine Fixes. No longer requires that mod for custom keybinds to work.
Version 1.09
Fixed menu not showing the new options preventing buying items as intended.
Version 1.08
Fixed leveled lists for weapons, armor, and clothing not working properly in previous update.
Version 1.07
Added some crafting food items that were missed in the last update.
Slight improvement to script to avoid the issue where vendor would sometime spawn with no credits/items.
Version 1.06
Fixed accidental upload of personal version with mod dependencies (sorry!).
Added Ship Parts to general vendor stock (along with credits and digipicks).
Added all base cooking ingredients to food category (tomato, milk, poultry, etc.).
Added new item to the Food/Drink/Aid category you can buy and set to favorite to call the menu as an alternative to setting up hotkeys.
Above "Call Remote Vendor" item can also be crafted at any cooking station for 10 credits.
All custom text moved out of scripts into messages in the .ESM for easier translation.
Version 1.05
Added new category option "Show Everything (Slow)" which shows everything and is slow. :)
Version 1.04
Complete re-write with major improvements and new features! (See description.)
Added several categories for pre-populated leveled items.
Added several new hotkey options to access individual categories instantly.
Vastly improved performance.
Version 1.03
Added all throwables (grenades and mines) to the vendor stock.
Version 1.02
Added hotkey option to main .ESM version that works the same as the inventory item.
Updated description and install instructions to reflect changes.
Version 1.01
Modified inventory item default 3D rotation for better aesthetic.
Version 1.0
New ESM Version! Many improvements over the old hotkey script:
ESM Version: Adds vendor remote to the book section of your inventory (no more hotkeys needed!).
ESM Version: VASTLY expands vendor available inventory with weapons, armor, aid & chems, food, and ammo.
ESM Version: Adds "II" after crafted duplicates of aid/chem/food items named the same as the base game versions, so instead of seeing two "Frostwolf" with different effects you now see "Frostwolf" and "Frostwolf II."
In a futuristic digital economy where supply chains are empowered by grav drive travel between stars it isn't exactly realistic to be trucking around half the galaxy just to find a vendor with the credits to offload some plunder.
Enter this mod. With the push of a button (or the activation of an inventory item) you can remotely contact your personal Trade Association representative to bring up a vendor interface wherever you are! You can sell goods (including contraband) as well as buy ammo or various aid items (new .ESM version has vastly expanded inventory including weapons and armor, ALL resources, many aid and food items, and ammo!). The vendor will always have credits and this stock of items will reset every time you activate them.
WARNING: Vendor inventory is regenerated each time you use them, so don't expect to be able to "buyback" anything once you close the vendor window! You can still buyback things you sell as normal until you close the window however.
I realize this is probably going to be seen by some as cheating, but used responsibly as a time saver I believe that is entirely up to one's chosen use.
NOTE: The inventory item "Call Remote Vendor" item can be crafted at any cooking station for 10 credits.
COMPLETE RE-WRITE:
The latest version incorporates many new quality of life features and code improvements:
The vendor now has several categories and selecting one will only show items for that category, vastly improving performance.
Hotkeys can now be set to any of the individual categories, as well as directly to the main menu.
Hotkey commands no longer use load order specific ID and work more like SKK Universal Stash.
New category "Selling Only" loads the vendor with no inventory for virtually instant access to sell your goods.
Combining the above, you can set a hotkey for selling only, and another for the main menu to select any category without ever opening your inventory.
Optionally, the inventory item is still available for those that don't want to set up hotkeys (see below for instructions regardless).
Here are all the different commands you can map to hotkeys in the latest version (see below for setup instructions):
Selling Only (Fastest): KEYX=CGF "phiPortableVendorQuestScript.CallVendor" 0
Show Everything (Slow): KEYX=CGF "phiPortableVendorQuestScript.CallVendor" 6
Show Selection Menu: KEYX=CGF "phiPortableVendorQuestScript.CallVendor" 7
NOTE: "KEYX" in the above examples would be replaced with the actual hotkey you wanted the function mapped to.
INSTALLATION:
For a manual install, just copy the contents of the Data folder to your Starfield\Data directory (or use a mod manager).
SETTING UP HOTKEYS:
The latest version supports setting various hotkeys to access the vendor. This does not interfere with the inventory item access and works the exact same way. If you wish to set up this additional method for accessing the vendor, then follow these steps:
First, install the mod as you normally would following the above instructions.
Next you need to add the mapping for the keys you want to use to summon your vendor. The game has a built-in method:
To set it up you first need to add the following lines to your \Documents\My Games\Starfield\StarfieldCustom.ini file:
[Menu] bUseConsoleHotkeys=1
Next, create/open \Documents\My Games\Starfield\StarfieldConsole.ini and add the mapping for the key to summon the vendor. Here is an example:
The above example will map the main category menu to the F3 key. If you want to use something else just change F3 to something from the List of Possible Keybinds.
UNINSTALL:
It is never a good idea to remove installed mods mid playthrough. However as this mod is completely user event driven it should be as safe as it can be if you absolutely had to for whatever readon. Just delete PhinixPortableVendor.esm and its .B2A file or remove it using your mod manager of choice or the Creation Club interface if you downloaded it there.
If you set up a kotkey as described above, also remember to remove the keybind line from \Documents\My Games\Starfield\StarfieldConsole.ini or Hotkeys\Hotkeys.ini depending on whether you used the default game hotkey method or the Starfield Hotkeys method.
