ahhh nobody told me that it doesnt work 😂 anyways, do you have ideas as to how to make it work? ive been getting into scripting recently but im not really sure how to pull that off just yet

the @ doesn't work btw 😂

Maybe with Vscript, like an inventory system. By selecting slot then, picking up an item.

@Big Boss hey ive got a question if thats okay. is it possible to make one item use multiple inventory slots? what i mean is imagine if all grenades, healing/ammo packs, and consumables could be placed anywhere in Slots 3, 4, or 5.

Subscribe?

how do i get it to work?

sadly this mod doesnt work on steam deck and controller :(

I did a bunch of tests with & without the mod.

Good news: it does work; the bots don't fill up anything on their own which is fine as they didn't do it before the mod updates either (I use commands to get the cans from them) but they do pick the gas cans up now.

Bad news: there's no visual indicator that they picked up anything. Before the updates, it would show in the bots' HUD as extra adrenaline + there'd be a gas can on their backs (like in Hard Rain). Now there's absolutely nothing, so I have to rely on their audio, but they don't always say it nor do I get to catch it all the time. They sometimes say they grabbed a can, sometimes they might say they're grabbing a pipe bomb/adrenaline, sometimes a line doesn't even trigger. So I have to waste moments using commands randomly to see who has a can.

I really appreciate the work you did so I'm sorry for coming back with new problems each time, I just find this mod really useful and I'd hate to have to stop using it permanently :(

Done, test it and let me know!
(Cola should work too)

I think it's one variable, let me see!

Thanks so much for the quick work! It works as it should.

But I do have to mention it now has some kind of script conflict with Left 4 Bots (Improved A.I.). They aren't able to pick up gas cans like they did before the updates, now they just path separately to the gas cans and hover there waiting for me to come over, leaving me without any cover AND leaving themselves vulnerable to specials. Previously they would at least be able to pick them up with this mod and come back to me. Just trialed some finales without this mod and they pick up gas cans and fill the car engine/generators just fine.

Not sure if I can have it both ways and have both mods working harmoniously together. Is there something that can be done? I would've also asked smilzo (creator of Left 4 Bots) but honestly everything was working fine before this mod updated.

Done tested it so far, it worked perfectly.

Let me know if it fails anywhere.

I'm gonna check, hold on!

Hey, so I see you recently updated this mod. This has worked flawlessly for me for years (thank you) but lately, after picking any of those items up, they disappear completely if I drop them for any reason. Makes the finale for Dead Center, The Passing, and Dead Carnival literally impossible since once the pickups disappear they don't respawn. I removed this mod and pickups work as usual again, so it's definitely the update. Mind checking what's the issue?

@Milanesá™ Oh okay. Never mind!

That's the point.

Thank you so much mate! Also can I ask you if it’s still possible to carry grenades with this mod on? I know the portable items are now carried in slot number three now. But I can’t keep my grenades in my inventory. When I’m carrying the object(s), they’re dropped immediately.

Updated the files, should work flawlessly.

@Milanesá™ Okay so, after going through the "Chernobyl: Chapter One" campaign a few times, I deduced that the mods by мяFunreal and this mod of yours, despite conflicting, don't cause the game to crash. However what don't like is that now whenever a survivor picks up a gas can, propane tank, oxygen tank, or fireworks crate; they're FP-arms and hands turn completely invisible. For obvious reasons.

@Milanesá™ I'll start running all my trial and error tests now, and I'll report back.

Try them and let us know, it integrated hand models into the scripts.

@Milanesá™ It conflicts with https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1286791237
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1283742336 , https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1286793577 , and https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1286795758 all by мяFunreal. Will this mod still work properly despite them conflicting with one another?

goood

Pros:
-It's a straight buff to Gas Can, Propane Tank and Oxyen Tank, as they don't become a hassle to carry them anymore, making them a great alternative if you haven't found actual grenades.
- Compatible with Left 4 Bots mod.

Cons:
- Upon trying to use the Gas, Propane or Oxygen tank, you can't throw them immediately anymore, so you can't efficiently pick & throw 2 gas cans for example (very common strat) while using this script.
- If you go to the grenade slot with a Gas, Propane or Oxygen Tank, and you swap to another slot, you end up dropping the item instead of staying stored, so you have to pick it up again everytime you go to slot 3 and you don't use them.

i can complete the cola quest now thank you

@Lebo: Super late, but the Left 4 Bots addon might be compatible with this mod.

Players and bots can trade items between each other with that addon.

you should make it where we can give it to bots and take em

Oh, sounds good. Thanks!

Well, i can't do anything about the conflict with mrfunreal's mod Both his and my mod edit the Pickups weapon.txt, so it's up to Funreal if he wants to add the icons and change the inventory slot code for each pickup.

i mean that's not really an answer but i hope you have a nice day/night too

Yeah, but my mod is to make these Pickups atleast a bit more useful, apart that my mod only works on local servers, So it's up to you if you prefer Cosmetic things Or Things that impact a bit the game itself.
Have a Nice Day/Night & Happy Gaming

Conflicts with мяFunreal's reanimated throwables with FPS hands

nevermind it works

how do i acces the launch settings?

Eazy now i can get the cola with attacking to thanks man

Exactly, you need to drop Gnome Chompski everytime you enter a saferoom, and carrying it to the chopper doesn't make any difference, if the game checked that it was in the final saferoom, carrying that beautiful Gnome to the chopper is just pointless.

Great mod, wonderful work, but I did get this to try to rescue Gnome Chompski from the carnival achievment....can't get it with this. I've carried that freakin gnome 10 times through, sometimes even holding him in my hands while in the chopper to see if it made a difference. No. I guess the game doesnt recognize that you're actually holding him while he's in the slot.

:health:

overlaps with the 16 slots mod tho

THANK YOU! I tried getting gnome chompski but I always died so I gave up on getting him, but thanks to you, I can get him.

IT WORKS!

GNOME?? GNOME??? Baby. the achievement is my soon! with this!

doesn't work for me :(

This mod is great
If that was implemented into the game,
Now you did implement it to the game as a addon
Great job mate

it dosen't look great... but it's a great idea.

Of course, i don't like to take someone's job and not giving credit.

I'm rarely on these days, but this is your own script right

AWESOME!!!

Finally you did see me :D

This has been done before by me along time ago xD
