Backpacks

[Dreams]

Some of these are great, some of them are quite jarring likely due to using the old NWN models and such.

Why include amazing looking shields that we can't use as shields?

If the caged gnome backpack will not be made available on the main server, I at least humbly ask that it be made available on PGCC.

Shields will be eventually added. And we can likely get those models too.

These are cool, I'm all about fashion.

Did we loose the skinny quiver that it's colors can be changed?

Is there any chance we can get a -toggle backpack command. I love the RP aesthetic of some of these but many appear situational. I would love to be able to click 1 button and "take my mining pack off". Perhaps this already exists and I missed it. Also, yes I am lazy but going through the craft menu spams your chat.

You can use

-saveoutfit WithBackPack while wearing it, once.
-loadoutfit WithBackPack

to equip your backpack

and

-saveoutfit WithoutBackPack while not wearing it, once.
-loadoutfit WithoutBackPack

to unequip it.

-loadoutfit

The trouble with this is that it deletes spell slots off of casters, which is annoying to reorganize and rest for. A toggle command for backpacks would be swell.

I think if you have no clothing/helm/cloak/weapon/shield items in the slots, and just load up the backpack of your choice, you can -saveoutfit "MyBackPackAppearanceHere". Then it will just load up the backpack no matter what outfit you wear, without altering the appearance of your outfit and thus not unequipping it. Which will not cause you to lose slots. Essentially it will only change the backpack slot of the outfit and leave all the rest be. It's how I save cloak/hood appearances that I like to be altered with leaving the outfit alone anyway.

This would work. My only other concern is that every time you loadoutfit, your gear passes through your inventory again. If you are full, stuff gets dropped. A dangerous game. However, this is a good workaround.

[LichBait]

Yeah. Thankfully if you don't have the slot equipped with something when an outfit is saved, it doesn't drop to your inventory b/c it isn't being altered. So it should solve that concern as well.

Noob question but how do backpacks work? Do you buy them as clothing and equip them to the cloak slot?

[LichBait]

If you right click on your character it should open the radial menu. If you go to the left most option > top option (crafting menu) it should open a list of various options from saving spellbooks/disguises/altering weapon/shield appearances/ect. One of those should be how you change the backpack slot on your character.

Thanks!!!

Oh I was really hoping that Greataxe guitar would be added - my bard RP is that she plays on a Cello so the that Greataxe guitar was absolutely perfect to support that visually.

Also the banners, on a Duergar size they are awfully tall - that looks really wierd and disturbing could they be made not so tall for duergars/dwarfs?

[Archnon]

Yeah. Thankfully if you don't have the slot equipped with something when an outfit is saved, it doesn't drop to your inventory b/c it isn't being altered. So it should solve that concern as well.

I tried this method with no success. When completely naked it says that it does not recognize an outfit with that name. Clarify for me what you get to work?

[LichBait]

I do it for cloak and helm slot. Looks like backpacks may not be recognized by the -saveoutfit system. RIP.

Love the new options, thanks for the update.

I'm just a bit confused why there are a million different flags, but not even all standard shield models are represented. Only the most low-res standard ones, in colours that aren't particularly popular and shields that don't even exist (yet, according to the response above). I would have loved to use one of the shield models. What's the problem with adding all the existing shield models?
