Customized Item Sorter Mod for NV

[Eithrill]

The idea is that the mod would allow users to dump items into containers that already have the item in them. I've looked around and all the mods I've seen come with predetermined item tags which prevent me from organizing my items the way I want to. I'm also making this topic to see if this is doable by someone since I have no programming/scripting experience whatsoever.

 

 

 

The mod would work somewhat like this:

Player's inventory contains Rax-X, Buffout, Cram, and Radroach Meat, as well as other consumables.

Player wants to dump Buffout and Rad-X into a First Aid Kit, Cram into an Oven, and Radroach Meat into a Fridge.

 

In order for the player to do that, the First Aid Kit must have 1 Rad-X and 1 Buffout in it, the Oven must have 1 Cram, and the Fridge must have 1 Radroach Meat.

 

As long as the First Aid Kit, Oven, and Fridge have one of those items in them, the Player can press one button (similar to the Dump It Mod) to put all of the Buffout, Rad-X, Cram, and Radroach Meat in their respective containers easily.

 

 

I apologize if there's a mod that already does this, I've searched but I haven't found anything that can micromanage items like this.

Yes, this is possible. Wouldn't be particularly difficult either, so a novice scripter should be able to take it on.

 

Some questions to help this along:

• Should this be in a fixed location (player home?) with a fixed number of existing containers or should it apply to all containers in the game?
• What if there is an item present in two different containers? Which of them gets the new items then?

It could work with all containers so the player can choose where to store his/her items.

 

The mod can work like the Take All button, meaning that it will work on any container as long as the player is actively accessing it.

You're looking for the mod Sortomatic, which has a fully dynamic, user configurable sorting system. It requires setup using the Editor, but that's as simple as replacing some containers with custom ones (the mod comes with 1 of every container just about already set up), and 3 extra items. There is a guide for how to set things up.

 

Sortomatic 'learns' where you store items, no need to even set anything up just throw stuff in a box and you're done, but you can also activate a menu on all containers that will let you set it to default storing things like weapons, ammo, armor, food, etc. It also has assisted crafting, where it will give you all known* crafting items into your inventory when activating a Sortomatic crafting station, so you don't have to go fetch stuff in order to craft.

 

*Known meaning that they are configured in the appropriate lists in Sortomatic, mod added items, unless supported, will not be in these lists. I know of no mods that support Sortomatic :(

Thanks, but I'm looking for something that doesn't involve pre-preparation or editing. From what I understand, I still have to use GECK (?) to use Sortomatic, which I would prefer not to since I'm clueless on it.

OK, then this might be what you're looking for. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/43412/?
