About this mod
Enhanced item sorting for modded ingestibles (food, drinks, chems, aid), using m8r98a4f2's Complex Item Sorter
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
I have been working on a set of rules for ingestible items (record type ALCH) that will enable enhanced sorting that makes use of these abilities and is able to correctly sort modded items - many of which do not follow the same conventions as vanilla items and are thus tagged incorrectly when using FIS (FallUI Icon Sorter) out of the box.
These rules will make additional use of the following new tags and icons available in the aforementioned FallUI mods:
- Canned food
- Boxed food
- Food stick - includes jerky for reasons
- Stew
- Soup
- Cake
- NEW! Noodle - optional separate tag for noodle cups and ramen etc. Makes use of the IAF Noodle Cup animation.
NEW! Basic version only includes the above icons available with the original FIS and Icon Library, if you don't want additional icons but want to use food mods.
These rules will also introduce some new tags and icons:
- Ice cream - dessert items
- Tea - hot drinks
- Burger - handheld food items
- Snack - light food items providing small health buffs
- Sarsaparilla - the drink from Fallout New Vegas, as introduced in various mods including Wasteland Imports
- Vim - unique tag for the Far Harbor NukaCola alternative
- Chem drink - liquid chem items, such as the Sludgepacks from Far Harbor, will no longer be tagged and sorted with drinks!
- Bandage - separating them out from generic aid items
- NEW! Ingredient - for items like raw dough and sugar that are used in mod that add baking features
- NEW! Bait - specifically for bait items from Mutant Menagerie
Tested with the following mods:
- Burger Time
- CHEF - Cooking Hunger and Expanded Food
- Commonwealth Pizza
- Canned Food Crafting
- New Recipes
- Wastelander's Cookbook
- Wasteland Imports
- Wasteland Wound Care
- NEW! Better Locational Damage - new aid items correctly tagged
- NEW! Maim 2 - all aid items specifically tagged, rather than everything in Aid as in the original
- NEW! CamelSpyder's Pastries of the Commonwealth
- NEW! Burger Time - Double cheesburger is now correctly tagged as burger
- NEW! Appletree Bakery and Creamery - ingredients for baking will be tagged as such
- NEW! Mutant Menagerie: Life Finds a Way - only healthy fish meat will be tagged as meat, the others will be tagged as radfood. Fishing rods are tagged as device and Bait is a new tag (green meat icon)
- NEW! You Are Exceptional - fixes the tagging for vanilla food items (broken with YAE's changes to food) and tags the new food items
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE
In addition to tagging, this plugin will also provide Immersive Animation Framework keywords for all tagged ALCH items! No more generic food/drink for every modded item, or manual patches. Run Complex Sorter once, on your entire load order, and based on the tags, the plugin will also add the appropriate keywords. You can even choose which items to add animations to - want food and drink but not chems? Done. Want only drinks but nothing else? Done.
And, because I always play on Survival mode, I've also added keywords to ensure modded items reduce hunger/thirst appropriately. If you do not play survival, these will have NO effect, so don't worry!
- All non-alcoholic drinks will now reduce thirst, including caffeinated ones
- Food tagged as Soup will reduce both hunger AND thirst
- Jerky will increase thirst
There are two versions of the mod, one including the IAF patching and one with just the tagging. USE ONLY ONE
Both options require:
The Combined file will also require Immersive Animation Framework
Installation:
- Install with your favourite mod manager, ensuring this loads after all requirements
- Run Complex Sorter on your entire load order once
- Play!
Note: This tagging is likely to break things for Wheel Menu users - edit conf.xml for this mod to add them back in.
