New Sorter Container Types

[vforvic]

Part of the coming update to my Mod MERC2 will include a new type of Sorter. I do not want to jinx this, but I THINK I finally have a working sorter that should allow the Player to dynamically sort items. By dynamically I mean custom items can be sorted into a container and the container can be picked by and changed by the Player.

 

For example, lets say you download a cool laser pistol mod. This sorter will allow you to pick a container to sort the weapon into via a Terminal. So now this cool Laser will sort into that container when you say sort. In theory, and I am working on this part, there will be an option to remove the Laser sorting to that picked container and pick another different container.

 

My hope is this system will also allow the Player to have a series of "Kits" that can be customized. In this case you can just have a loadout of Weapons, Ammo, Armor and other items always sorted into a container that the Player can choose from depending on the mission.

 

Anyway, my question is about the Containers since that is currently what I am placing in the GECK. What containers do you think would be useful? I was thinking things like Sniper Rifles, Laser Pistols, Vault Outfits, Stealth Armor, Jewelry, Power Armor Helmets and so forth. What would you like to see as far as Container options for items? Essentially I can make a container for anything so let me know your wishes and HOPEFULLY I can get this completed.

Just for a visual look at what is currently best suited for your purpose, load up into the geck the Underground hide out By DanThegeek, and look at his armory set up.

 

specifically outside behind the fish tank sitting in no mans land, you will see a long array of containers sitting there, you will see how he used markers for these containers. these containers are not visible, but store the items, the actual receptions, and what is seen in the armory it's self are just place holders.

 

Click on the properties of one of the outside containers and get it's object Id, locate that container in the object manager in the geck and write down on paper what is used.

close the geck, reload your mod only ,open you mod up and drag that type of container from the object manager into cyberspace out side where ever you have set up your cells, also link in markers, red x markers to them. these are scripted markers for those containers you will need to write. the links to the markers are linked into what is seen in either the terminal? message ,or object seen in game world.

 

just a suggestion.
