Build 30.16 Improvised Containers

[WolfeClaw]

Hey everyone! To keep this nice and concise, I figured the world of Project Zomboid needed a bit of a touch up in terms of improvisation and crafting, so I decided to make a rather random mod: Improvised Containers!

Planned Features:

That's why I'm here. I'd love to get some feedback and criticism (Especially since this is my first time properly modding something, not including Insurgency skins), but most important of all, I want more ideas for improvised bags and such. I'm open to any ideas! (Provided it's within my extremely limited coding knowledge.)

 

Permissions:

Feel free to use my work in your own mods, but please credit me!

 

 

 

Other Work:

Feel free to contact me if you're looking for a sprite artist for your own mods. Don't feel limited to downsizing images anymore!

I love it! The more crafting the better!

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

 

A quick update that allows the player to treat pillow cases as sheets, giving you the ability to tear them into Ripped Sheets or craft them into Sheet Rope.

 

OP updated with new download link.

------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.1.1: 10/02/15 HOTFIX

CHANGED:

 

- Pillow Cases can now be torn into Ripped Sheets, as well as crafted into Sheet Rope, similar to clothing and sheets.

Hello I just wanted to tell you that i love your mod, however there is a little bug in which i'm not able to carry the bags in my back, i'm not sure if you already fixed this, but if not i would love to see it fixed, you did a hell of a work , thank you

Cool Mod! I missed this mod! Autor, Well done! Continue in the same spirit!

Oh, I apologize for not seeing this sooner. I made it so that the Improvised Backpack, Pillow Case Backpack, Shoulder Pole and duffelbag/hiking bags with pouches can be worn on your back, with the others simply being held items. 

 

Are you sure it was one of these that weren't equippable on the back? Because if so I'll delve back into the code, but I do remember testing all bags and they worked as intended. Thanks regardless!

don't worry about it, but yeah actually was the big hiking bag  the one that i was unable to wear, and i even tried with the others and it didn't let me, again thank you for replying, and still both your mod and the idea are awesome,

Are these the default hiking bags or the hiking bags with duct tape pouches?

I just checked and mine works fine, no adjustments made to the public code. You need to make sure that you unequip what is already on your back to then get the option to equip another. If you already did that then I'm afraid I have no other ideas.

 

CanBeEquipped = Back; is on all of my backpacks and bags that are deemed necessary to do so.

[WolfeClaw]

And now it's not working...

 

Welp. 

[WolfeClaw]

Just to throw it out there, I've given all assets from this mod to another person who made this on the Workshop. Since I'm no coder and pretty much just make art for people, I figured this made more sense to do rather than let the idea of this mod fade and die.

 

So put simply, keep an eye on this workshop page to see the stuff that this mod had going for it. It'll take a week or so for him to add stuff, so don't expect anything new there for the time being. Yay for sharing!
