Radiant Sentry Bags

Description

There are plenty mods for bags already, but I've never found one that really gathers everything I wanted. So here is my take : This mod adds two new kind of rare bags. They both share the exact same container stats, difference is only about their visual size (one is the medium vanilla model, the other, the small one). If you have the chance to see them in adventurer shop's goods (25% chance), they will be expensive (18500 Cats), but they hold a 12x16 format that can stack items just like trader's/wooden backpacks. Alike thieves bags, wearing them don't impact stats negatively. On the top of that, they gain a new texture, with natural and darker tones than vanilla's but also far from that rude plain black thieves bags have. Some alternate colors are also available but they push and pull only slight different variations to stay in a lore-friendly range of saturations.

Implement two new backpacks that will appear in 'adventurer shops'. Here is what they offer :

  • New bag, New item, New visual, New texture : If you know me well, you know that you can trust me on textures. What you have here is absolutely lore-friendly. Worked from vanilla asset, improved few details, overhauled contrasts, and now has multiples shades of colors. Gave it a color mood that will fit most the vanilla armor color tones (unlike vanilla 'light brown piss' bags). Cherry on the cake, it's rather dark and stealthy (dark desaturated brown), but not dark enough to ruin the contrast like the thieves backpacks do. The two kind of size does not matter in a stat pov, it's just there for you to choose the one you like the most, aesthetics purpose only (good luck if you want just one kind of bags for your whole crew though !).

  • One of the best container performances : With 12x16, those bags will shine between the large and medium kind of vanilla bags. They can cover the hold of the biggest weapons in the game (10-12 slots wide). And above everything they have the capacity to stack items up (5x ratio, best stacking up is the large trader's backpack which is 6x). Still, unlike a lot of unbalanced backpack mods, I decided to stay away from any difficulty balance break, so it's good but not 'overpowered'. This is why these stats are not that crazy. (It's precisely the reason why I made this mod, I just couldn't find something that does not ruin the game's difficulty)

  • A fair emcumbrance bonus : Exactly like thieves bags, Those sentry bags have a 0.4 encumbrance ratio, meaning they remove 60% of the weight of goods you hold within them. The best ratio you can find are 0.2 ans 0.3 but these are for animals. 0.4 is the maximum for humanoids.

  • No Penalties : Again, like thieves bags (Small one only actually), Those backpacks won't alter any of your stats while your characters wear them. No bonus (of ♥♥♥♥♥♥' course), but no penalties either.

  • An expensive price and a rare pop : Although they won't come cheap and they only have 25% chance to pop in adventurer shop's goods. 18500 Cats is what you'll need for just one bag. You'll probably have to grind a bit to earn your price, to finally get that good rewarding feeling we all love. It's one of the very best of bags (if you don't have other bag mods), still not OP, but I can guarrantee it's probably gonna' be your favourite.

  • Alternate colors : You can change the colors of the bags for an alternate color (same new color applied for all the sentry bags at once). There are 7 different choices so far and you need to do it manually in the mod's folder. To do so, follow the last screenshot's instruction steps. These alternate colors have voluntarily lore-friendly tones that will matches most vanilla game's armors (never too saturated).

  • Invisible version : Only available at the shinobi thief guild trader, it's way more expensive but less rare.



You can find all my mods by searching "Radiant" in steam workshop, nexus, or civfanatics, which is a recurrent word in all my mod's tittles.

Even if they represent hundreds of working hours, I'm sharing my mods for free like most of mod creators. But deep down I'm really hoping you to do that little extra thing that would help me a lot : joining any of my pages (patreon, facebook, instagram). Just that really! Don't feel obliged to give something, with Patreon there is indeed a free option that grants you basic news/content and it will only take few seconds of your time. That being said I'm an artist irl and I sometimes struggle to put my personal projects on the saddle. By giving a little something or joining my ranks you can trigger a course of actions/reactions that might end up gathering more people around, thus helping me building the motivation and means to create more stuff to appreciate.

Only just installed the mod but it already sounds awesome, been looking for ages for something like this. Thanks for the great mod addition and look forward to seeing more of your work =)

Suggestion for the shenobi bags, Make them 60k since they sell for 50% off at the trader. So best bad is onlt 15k or so.

As a top-tier, elite adventurer's bag, this is perfect. Great idea for a mod!

@Ragnaman Hmmm you're right. I already did raise the price not so long ago to do some tryouts and see how it goes (discussed with the guy below you). I took a break from playing this game for the moment but Imma update the mod with a higher price since I agree. Sorry If i didn't pass your 30k expectations (still 28.5 for the spectral is something), I prefer to be shy with change and make another later on if needed.

As a player the biggest value in bags to me is:
- able to put anything in it (so, biggest weapons).
- least stat maluses
- stacking
- weight reduction

The backpack can have 1000x1000 size, i wont use it if it fails in other points above.

Price seems quite big, but prosthetics cost 30k...
I would say a backpack that meets all those 4 points is easily 30k + rare store item.

One more suggestion, make them a tad smaller in terms of overall size. The stacking is pretty useful imo!
Sanitation Technician Feb 3, 2022 @ 1:34pm 
Id say remove the stack count from 9 to 3 and increase the price in general. Seems solid, also make them much more rare at the traders.

@DirtySumBitch I agree with you. I was busy working on some other in the meanwhile but yeah, even if I wanted a new "best bag" here, the price seems too low when I think about it. But 30k is rough ... are you sure of this ? Best Vanilla bag for footmen (traders large) : 10x14 / x6 stacks / maluses / 4500. This one 12x16 / x9 / no maluses / ... 140 squares vs 192 squares ==> +37% /// x6 VS x9 ==> +33% /// then the 'no-maluses' feature would be for me the most expensive thing like double the price may be ? I would have => 4500 x 1,37 x 1,33 x 2 => 16440. What do you think ? I think 30k is a bit too much, I had hard time already to get the first one (without any mods that facilitate, having hard time to get people and have starting functional eco).

They can stack up to 9 ore and are larger without penalties while also being pretty cheap. The spectral bag and regular sentry bags so be at least a 30k investment imo.

These bags seem very OP for the price tbh.
