These properties have been superseded by new properties in other sections. They are still supported for backwards compatibility but we don't recommend mods targetting newer versions use these.

Version History

1.25

Changed the Whitelist and Blacklist elements used inside PhoneBooth and SkinShop elements to IncludedItems and ExcludedItems.

The old names are still supported for backwards compatibility.

1.22

Added support for a SkinShop element in this hack's configuration file that works similarly to the existing PhoneBooth element.

1.18.2

Fixed a crash on startup that occurred with certain game executables in certain circumstances:

If the mod used the Locator attribute on a Selector element inside a PhoneBooth element.
If the mod used a Car element inside a FreeItems element inside a PhoneBooth element.

1.18

Added this hack.
