🔫 [B42] - Fix No Pistol Spawn | Cleaner Game Start 🛠️

🧹 This simple mod automatically removes the developer testing items given at character creation in Build 42.
✅ It also fixes issues other mods have when dealing with these items — no crashes here!

🎯 What Happens in Vanilla B42?

By default, the current B42 test branch gives every new character:

🔫 1x Base.Pistol (chambered, loaded)
🔋 5x Base.9mmClip (full)
📦 1x Base.Bullets9mmBox

This mod automatically detects and removes these dev items a few frames after character creation to ensure clean and realistic gameplay, ideal for survival servers!

⚙️ What This Mod Does

🧽 Removes the pistol, clips, and ammo box added by `addTestSpawnPistol()`
🛡️ Does NOT affect any other items (starter kits, bags, food, etc.)
🚀 Lightweight and safe for Solo and Multiplayer
🧩 Works cleanly via events — no overwrite of base files

❓ Why Use It?

🛑 Prevents unfair loot advantage at the beginning
🌍 Improves immersion for survival or roleplay runs
🎮 Ensures consistency across custom scenarios

Note: Only developer test items are removed. All normal game mechanics stay untouched!

✅ Full Compatibility

✔️ Build 42+
✔️ All maps and professions
✔️ All other mods (unless they overwrite dev spawn scripts directly)

🚫 What This Mod Does NOT Do

❌ Modify professions
❌ Change loot tables
❌ Affect starter kits or sandbox settings

@Chrispy420 cause it is only client side code. So will be no problem with MP later on.

i normally place the pistol and ammo in a storage lacation then forget about it, very happy i found this

@Adler1968 WDYM ? It is written in the desc, in removes all test item devs put you in your beginning inventory, so the pistol is also removed.

@rckymtnrfc thank you for the feedback mate ! Do not hesitate to rate the mod, and check the other one I have created :) happy surviving !

This is wonderful. The first thing I do when I start a new game is look for a trash can so I can delete the gun and accessories. And we all know in this game, you restart a lot. Thanks!
