Better Satchel

Description
Replaces and adds new models and textures for the Satchel to use in the same way as a Fanny pack. In other words, this mod provides you with the ability to wear Satchels with backpacks, you can wear them on the front or&and back of your character. Moreover, all appropriate zombie spawns wear satchels in a new way too.

Satchels were re-balanced to be in tune with vanilla bags&backpacks. However, even though Satchels were re-balanced, you can adjust stats as you want through Sandbox options. There is also a version without sandbox option and with vanilla satchels characteristics.

Better satchels mod reworks&adds some satchels icons. Also, this mod implements Tactical satchels, which you can find for better stats and run speed modifier. Tactical satchels will rarely spawn on Hazmat wearing zombies.

Save files
Adding this mod will not ruin your current playthrough, but there will not be any changes till you start a new game.

Compatibility
Will not work with any mod that changes satchels in any way. Also, it may have issues with mods adding&changing outfits with satchels or vanilla hazmat wearing outfits.
However, some load-order tweaking may or may not help with compatibility issues.

Built-in Compatibility
  • They Knew
  • Susceptible Trait - Airborne Infection

If you are using "They Knew" or "Susceptible Trait" mods, you will need to load "Better Satchel" mod after them. It is essential because this mod replaces satchels within "They Knew" mod. Also, appropriate changes to the "Susceptible Trait" mod's new zombie outfits (the once wearing satchels) were made.

Be aware, this mod changes "They Knew" mod's zombie outfits and hazmats. Zombies from "They knew" mod will sometimes wear vanilla hazmats and some clothes under their hazmats. Textures and icons of "They Knew" mod's hazmat were changed to be in tune with vanilla and Satchels brought by "Better Satchel" mod. Also, you can wear those with vests and jackets.

Known issues
  • New crafted satchels (Build 42) can be weared only at the back, same as Fanny Pack. - New 3D model needs to be changed.
  • Textures of new crafted satchels will have issues, whenever you wear those with special clothes (for examle bulletproof vest). - Same problem, will fix this issue in the next updates.

P.S.
Redistribution of this mod without explicit permission from the original author is strictly prohibited under any circumstances.

@Regisnox, this mod's sandbox works on generated items, there is no issue with new game, but with the existing one, the result you got was the only possible one.
Regisnox 25 Oct @ 4:56am 
It works! But settings are applied only to new dropped satchels.
Regisnox 25 Oct @ 4:05am 
Figured one thing out. You need to enable it in single player MOD Menu to see Sandbox options in Server Settings. But changing size or reduction doesn't work on server. Now I can see sandbox settings and changed size and reduction for all satchels but when server starts I have default one.
Regisnox 25 Oct @ 3:06am 
There is no sanbox options while loading the save and when I changed it manually in ini file it's not stick so the sizes are still unchanged and as well cannot craft them.
Regisnox 25 Oct @ 2:22am 
how to make it work with existing save?

@Germanchiller, you are ridiculous. Mod was made for my own playthrough for free and shared for free, why should I keep some other mods I don't use in mind? Moreover, you can use clothing mods just fine by deleteating clothing.xml from my mod. I am not willing to create new version just to delete that file, do it yourself.

Causes issues in a great amount of mods. Fix yo shit n remove the stock fannys from loot table instead of replacing it entirely breaking every clothing mod ever.

sucks, common sense is such a good mod. really wish some of it would become base game, thanks for the suggestion

another discovery, after disabling the common sense mod i can right click and choose to wear satchels on front/back without any issue
Laaboo12 27 Sep @ 5:43am 
thank you, that would be awesome
