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've uploaded a build compiled with the latest 1.6 codebase, it should work as i didn't see any changes that affected me on the 1.6 modder primer, but mind you i haven't tested it personally, since i haven't updated my game to unstable.

Yex, it will be done, but it's not on stable branch still, and i don't play on the unstable branch myself.

This is so much better than simple sidearms

Which mod is it, i'd need to see how they're flagged as not equippable so i don't include them in the gizmo

Would it be possible to add a blacklist to prevent certain weapons from showing in the equip bar? I have another mod which has seemingly implemented health potions as weapons (which you can't equip). Pocket sand gets around this, and shows it as an equippable weapon in the bar. If you click on it breaks the game

Is the mod options page green/yellow like the 3rd image on the mod page?
Does this happen if you disable pocket sand? it might be an issue on CE's side, or a vanilla bug.

This mod only replaces the 3 equip/unequip/unload Job Drivers, there's no interaction with the pawns outside of it.

100% Certain. I selected the weapon prior to them doing a Rearm using the loadout system in the vanilla game.
They pick up the revolver and stand there trying to reload it only to switch back to their selected weapon. You can break the cycle by using the gizmo to switch to the weapon that needs to reload.
Reisen  [author] May 13 @ 4:49pm 
Are you sure its not another mod?
This mod shouldn't force switch anything to be equipped, ever.
The only time the weapons are swapped from this mod, is when you click on the gizmo button.
