Hidden journal exploration system for RedM - featuring 65 discoverable pages, parchment reading UI, milestone progression, subtle hint effects, and persistent collection tracking.
Crowe Discoveries is a lore-driven exploration script for RedM (VORP) that gives your players a new reason to roam the map. They uncover hidden journal pages across the frontier, read emotional and atmospheric entries in a parchment-style interface, track progress through a full collection UI, and earn rewards, milestones, and titles as they complete the set.

4 Rarity Tiers - Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary pages for better pacing, reward balance, and collection variety.
One-Time Discovery Per Character - Pages are saved per character so progress feels meaningful and persistent.
Optional Time and Weather Gating - Individual discoveries can be limited to certain hours or weather conditions.

Hint System - Players receive subtle sound pulses, sparkle effects, and glow feedback when near undiscovered pages.
Hold-to-Search Interaction - Players must hold the prompt to search instead of instantly collecting the page.
Discovery Effect - Optional sound and visual reward effect when a page is found.
Optional Progress Bar Support - Integrates with Crowe Progress and gracefully falls back if it is not installed.

Parchment Reading UI - Each page opens in a front-and-back journal layout with a page flip animation.
Collection Viewer - Review discovered pages through a clean collection interface with progress tracking.
Category and Rarity Filters - Players can quickly sort their collection and focus on what is still missing.
