Visible bags, but no visible screenshots! Wanna see! D':
damn, the page broke my images! i need to do new ones :(
Reverhaus Odd bug, but installing this on 1.22.1 appears to break fishing. After I installed it, fish stopped biting the hook. When I uninstalled it, I immediately caught a fish after loading my game.
I don't understand how this mod could affect the fishing mechanics. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I've looked into it, but the mod only makes an aesthetic change; it doesn't alter any vanilla mechanics.
just poppin' in to ask if this is still working for folks on the stable release of 1.22? thanks! (:
new version released! It was already working, and I've updated to a new version.
Venusgate I trying it with the bigger basket but im not sure what's your problem with the mod, the clipping with the bag?
Not getting any issues with just forager's basket and this like Venus, but I am getting that visibility issue with just this and Equus
So I'm using this with Forager's Basket and while the basket is taking up the back slot as would make sense, the hunter's packpack wants to stack with it in the same spot.
Simple patch?
INSTANT download.
Reverhaus Ohh Ok, gotcha! i didnt realize there was sliver plate armor lmao. thanks!
Xenomorph311 Those are vanilla armors; the purple armor is just dyed tailored gambesons. And the plate armor is the silver variant. I chose those armors in creative mode because I thought they looked good for modDB (โฟโกโฟโก)
What kind of clothes are those? if their modded can you please share the mod name!
also awesome mod
Az3r1x "Large Backpacks" (Backpack & Sturdy leather backpack) are not altered in how they show on character. The Butchering Backpack is similar to a "Large Backpack", so its functionality for visual appearance is also not altered.
The only backpack whose visual appearance has been altered is the Hunter's Backpack (and quiver if you activate it)
Howdy!
Has anyone used this mod alongside the Quivers & Sheaths mod? Does it cause any issues or visual bugs?
Does this work with the butchering bags from the Butchering mod?
I just updated it and it looks wonderful. Thank you so much. Until VS has a proper inventory system that does not include 4 backpacks, this is the immersive must-have!
๐๐
DatVegan I didn't know about the Wildcraft mod and its baskets!
Thank you for telling me about the baskets from this mod, I really hadn't found other mods that added new baskets/bags to the game (that are updated to the latest versions).
I just added compatibility with Wildcraft in version 1.0.1 ๐๐
Finally, wearing different backpacks now makes sense! Nerfing my inventory has never looked so good! If I could ask for compatability for anymod, I'd ask for Wildcraft Trees.The model for its foraging basket is lovely and it's useful later into the game, making looking decked out not as punishing. BTW, a tip for all the others who like to see their characters look cool with gear: check out Harper's immersive tools and Quivers and sheaths! I'd love for Vintage Story to shed its Minecraft inventory inspiration and own up to unforgiving survival inventory with more limitations, and more options to overcome these limitations.
Michaloid That was a mistake. I meant to say it's not a client-side cosmetic mod because it alters backpack behavior (server-side). But I didn't realize it also adds new models to the backpacks (attached shapes), which are models loaded from the client side as well. I've corrected it in the description.
P.S.: I LOVE SATURATED COLORS ๐๐
Holy saturation. Jesus.
But if this mod is a server-side mod, then why did you set it to both?
Reverhaus Awesome !
Cthugha Sadly, it only displays one backpack of each type... this is ultimately just a minor change to the vanilla backpack system, which (to my knowledge) doesn't track how many backpacks are equipped. It just identifies an item occupying a body slot and renders the last one equipped in the sequence.
I also considered the 'generic bag' for potential mods that aren't compatible with mine, but honestly, there aren't that many mods adding low-tier backpacks to make the effort worthwhile
How does it work if I equip multiple leather backpacks for example? Does only one show up? Might be cool to create some generic leather pouch type thing as a fallback when no specific model is available for a bag type.
PapitoPapz lol Well, thank goodness I reduced the size of the objects to 60% of their actual size (on the ground).
I decided to make them a bit bulkier so they wouldn't clip so much when using heavy armor; also, I thought it would look like an adventurer if bags look quite bulgy.
It would be interesting to add a config, but my modding skills are pretty basic, I'll look into it :)
NGL I think this would be better or have a option for the size of 3D bag models like for instace have the bags on a belt and in a smaller size like a pouch cause then it does not ruin the aesthetic of armors and outfits. Love the mod tho !
ALSO option for a config that you select what bags are shown cause basket looks mad goofy hahaha
If you can figure out how to make carried animal corpses appear on your back that would be super cool
ArmoredStone it should work fine with most mods that add new backpacks. I haven't changed how big backpacks attach to your back, so those should be okay.
BUT, If another mod adds new bags or small baskets (such as custom bags or baskets) that would not normally have a 3D model, these will not be visible to your character because I have to add them manually.
If you want compatibility for new mods, ask me for it :)
This is cool :o does it work with mods that add more bags? (like butchering for example)
