Pocket Sand

Description
Pocket Sand!

Surprise your enemies with that weapon in your pocket. Actual sand not included

Adds a gizmo to equip/unequip weapons to and from pawn inventory, that's it.

  • No tool auto-switching based on job/distance.
  • No pawn remembering what gear it had equipped and getting stuck on a equip-unequip loop when it tries to store its active weapon on a locker then dying of hunger.
  • Just a few buttons to manually equip a gun, knife, or what have you.

Similar to the old SimpleSidearms, when there wasn't a pawn memory, but even lightweighter.

Combat Extended Compatible.

I'll add a generic "don't unload" blacklist setting for non-weapon items when i have some free time

Maybe on the weekend

I don’t know their exact classification in the code, but in the game’s storage tab they are categorized as “ritual artifacts.”

If its a drug-type item you can add it to the pawn's drug policy, otherwise the unload driver is basically a vanilla copy with an addition to not unload weapons.

If not, i'll need to see what that mod does to keep the stuff in to see if its feasible to add compatibility

What item is it on the mod?
天才少公子 Sep 2 @ 4:37pm 
Do I have a way to set certain items so that caravans won’t automatically drop them? These items are special items from the MoeLotl mod and are not recognized as weapons. In the original MoeLotl mod, they were not supposed to be dropped automatically, but it seems to conflict with this mod, causing them to be dropped every time.

Some other mod must be equipping them with weapons / preventing unload of weapons.
This mod shouldn't equip items automatically, or force a pawn to hold an item in their inventory.

Can you confirm this behaviour with only PocketSand on a new save?

Hi
Mod is pretty cool but my pawns tend to wear a lot of weapons at the same time (my melee dude has 6 different melee weapons in his inventory). Is there a way to fix that? To reduce to three maximum melee weapons in their inventory? Of your choice?
Thanks

i just wish this changed to melee automatically when enemies got into melee range

That's a problem with textures in general, the transparent parts of PNG textures are usually saved "transparent white" to compress better, that white bleeds into the icon when the texture is drawn scaled

nothing much can you can do about it

I noticed that when the UI zoom is set to 1.5, white edges appear next to the weapon icons. I'm not sure if this is an issue.

Who REALLY needs sand though? https://youtube.com/shorts/eNmzwTdrqGs?si=YZbXZ4pIrx52mhoz (Thanks for this!)
