LE Sabre Gear Backpack - Repositioning of bow & shield when backpack

[LordWar777]

Hi,

 

I hope someone here know how to do this easily & can assist publishing an add-on/compatibility mod of sorts (for us non-programmer/modders).

 

I currently use these mods:

1. Sabre Gear Backpack (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13687)

2. Belt-Fastened Quivers (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/35717)

3. Dual Sheath Redux (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/34155)

4. Custom Skeleton Pack 67 from Custom Skeleton Replacers (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16712)

 

My problem:

When bow or shield is stored on the back they clip terribly with the backpack.

 

The ideal solution:

A mod (if it already exists then please point me to it as I've searched with no luck) to just move the placement of the bow & shield further away from the body when the backpack is equipped as to give the impressions it's attached to the back of the backpack.

 

I understand that I could use nifscope to achieve this, but what I do not know how to do is to add some logic to determine if the backpack is equipped or not & then adjust the placements accordingly.

 

I’ve seen similar concept implemented with cloaks & backpacks where the backpack placement is adjusted further from the body to incorporate the cloak, so it must be possible somehow.

 

The logic must be something like:

 

1. Is backpack equipped?

2. If “no” then use bow/shield default placement.

3. If “yes” then adjust bow/shield placement to “XYZ value”.

 

Also, I suppose the “XYZ value” that it moves away from the body must not be a fixed position as to prevent the addition of a “cloak mod” to re-introduce clipping.

 

No changes to the placements of quivers, staves or 2H weapons are required. Only bow & shield placements must be enhanced.

 

Thank you for your time reading this & also a special thank you to the authors of the above mentioned mods for increasing the enjoyment of this great game.

I am also very curious about the clipping issue with backpacks as I love wearing a backpack!

Great mod idea.
