I tried switching the katana sheath position from left to right and vice versa. However, only the katana changes position while the sheath stays on the right side. I’ve run the mod on its own, and the issue still happens, so it doesn't seem to be a conflict with another mod. Also, would it be possible to simplify the context menu options to just say 'Right' and 'Left'?
Ō 6 Oct @ 3:05am 
Yep definitely a mod conflict on my end. Thank you for the fix though really appreciate it!
UattO  [author] 5 Oct @ 4:25am 
ok i fixed it, now you can use a single katana sheat on back so the katana is forced to be put in the proper position
UattO  [author] 5 Oct @ 4:08am 
@Ō I've tested katanas right now and they works with their sheats, the only issue after the last game update is that you are able to put more sheats on the back and katanas can be attached to the right even if the sheat is to the left, but i will solve it asap.
If they don't work for you, probably you have some mode that impacts on katanas

@Scarn You also need some rags, the recipes are available from the creation menu if you search carefully you should find them
UattO  [author] 5 Oct @ 3:58am 
@Ō i'd like to have more visual option or more items and models but this is the best my collaborator has managed to do so far. I only work on the code, and initially this mod only changed the way vanilla slots work.
So I can't add any more models without someone's help. Any help with the graphics is welcome. I'd also like to add knife sheaths.
Scarn 4 Oct @ 10:33pm 
I'm sorry I'm a bit lost, how do you craft a rope sling? I have the rope and rags in my inventory but I cannot find it in the crafting menu

I’m having a bit of trouble attaching the katana to its own sheath it doesn’t seem to work properly, even though other sword sheaths are functioning perfectly. Also, I couldn’t find a work belt in the clothing menu; is that the same as the tool belt?

One more thing I noticed: both the slings and the tool belt appear to float on the body rather than fitting snugly. Would it be possible to have an option to adjust how tight or loose they appear base on clothing to avoid clipping and stuff? Like a toggle button or something. That would help make them look more natural and immersive.

@Crodum I'm confused, your report was about sword sheaths not working but now you're talking about a hammer and machete sheath which this mod doesn't add
Crodum 4 Oct @ 2:41pm 
I didn't add any mods, and when I wrote the comment my rifle attachment in my back worked but not the sword seath for a machete, also I couldn't attach a hammer
UattO  [author] 4 Oct @ 2:40pm 
@Crodum i tested sheats right now and work perfectly, i'm pretty sure your issue is from another mod or maybe you try to put a sword in a sheat made for another one, every sword has its own sheat
UattO  [author] 4 Oct @ 2:31pm 
@Crodum i hope you tested it with no other mods on befor to report this, i will check it asap
UattO  [author] 4 Oct @ 2:30pm 
@Teddy maybe, but i have not so much time in this period
UattO  [author] 4 Oct @ 2:29pm 
@gloompy7 It doesn't seem like you understood my explanation since you asked this question, please reread it more carefully my friend.
Crodum 4 Oct @ 12:55pm 
Swords seaths don't work right now, and probably other items can't get attached either
Teddy 3 Oct @ 3:31am 
It would be nice if you could make it so that having one of the strap modification thingos on a gun lets you have it on your back.
gloompy7 2 Oct @ 6:46pm 
because keeping a sledgehammer in your pocket is much more realistic then having it on your back?
UattO  [author] 27 Sep @ 9:13pm 
@Smiley Face Killer many mods are broken after the last game update, not this one, i've already updated all my mods.
Of course you need to review your modlist
Smiley Face Killer 27 Sep @ 2:38pm 
Backpacks show up as a question mark icon, is that normal as in they haven't been "sprited" yet or do I have a mod messin it up?
The only bag mod I use is that Pack Mule series (that I'm aware of)
UattO  [author] 25 Sep @ 7:27pm 
@U.S.N.Sam i'm not a zomboid developper but just a modder, otherwise i would have created the character's inventory differently.
But if you think about it, the inventory is like a container representing all the pockets in your clothes and the various alternative ways to carry an item, such as under your arm, which is how I imagine a spear in the vanilla inventory.
Anyway, the Tetris inventory is a good solution, as suggested. I stopped using it due to balance issues with some items, but perhaps they've been fixed; I should check it out too.
Keinori 25 Sep @ 3:43pm 
@U.S.N.Sam Use inventory tetris to solve this, bro
U.S.N.Sam 25 Sep @ 2:41pm 
You say its not immersive to have weapon on back without sling yea ok then why can you put spear in you player inventory? And no im not talking about backpack inventory
UattO  [author] 4 Sep @ 2:06pm 
@Zaxis, Kell of Rocha items in this game have some limits, one of these is that items can't have more categories, so if i script a clothing item it can't be a weapon part too.
SpiffoGaming 4 Sep @ 12:34pm 
Also what does attacks on zombies mean in your future projects
SpiffoGaming 4 Sep @ 11:53am 
Half question half suggestion. Is there a particular reason you make slings an equipable instead of something you attach to a weapon? I feel that would be more interesting as it makes rope more valuable by needing more slings for your weapons, instead of just making 1 sling and then youre sorted. Im thinking having an always available back slot but only slinged weapons can be put there
UattO  [author] 3 Sep @ 2:10pm 
@chuckleberrypi thank you for your suggestion.
I suggest to put this mod before other slot mods if you have
chuckleberrypi 3 Sep @ 11:25am 
i really appreciate your balancing. i like it very much. good job.
any tips for load order? (i dont currently have any issues, just wondering)

also, i just thought of a super early game sling

Sock holster: craftable with a sock (and maybe knife or paperclip), attaches to belt, can hold any single-handed weapon with a chance to drop the weapon because it's just a sock

might be too silly and/or powerful xd
UattO  [author] 1 Sep @ 9:07am 
sligs provide the back slot, so they already allow axes on back.
About saucepan on backpack, it is a good idea, i will add something similar
Creyver 31 Aug @ 2:29pm 
A sling for an axe? You should have added a sling to your backpack to carry an axe, or a saucepan, for nomads on foot.
UattO  [author] 28 Aug @ 6:30pm 
@onebodytomany
Yes, I understand.
This mod is designed to be fully compatible with the base game, but it will never be compatible with other mods that modify the vanilla hotbar. As the mod's description states, " This mod is for b42 only, it is not compatible with mods that modify the hotbar game files.
It should be compatible with mods that add new slots, but these may not be compatible.
"
There's a 99% chance that the mod you're loading along with this mod will cause this issue.
onebodytomany 28 Aug @ 6:11pm 
@SDgamer they mess with one another. My current run, have both installed, weapons still need slings but my belts got two attachment points still. Pretty sure Pack mule takes priority, or has done with the way my load orders sorted anyway.
UattO  [author] 27 Aug @ 6:13am 
@SDgamer i don't know the mod you mentioned
SDgamer 26 Aug @ 11:08pm 
how well does this work with the Pack Mule Mod?
UattO  [author] 26 Aug @ 8:39pm 
@keinori for now this mod is working with vanilla items, i don't think to add mod items, a lot of vanilla items should be added before
@francoti i will check the recipes again, but they was working
Keinori 26 Aug @ 8:11pm 
can you add a function to attach the portable player of true music on belt too?
Francoti 25 Aug @ 8:26pm 
for some reason im not able to craft cloth sling or rope sling without spwaning, there is no error so i don t know what s wrong
Keinori 25 Aug @ 6:57pm 
thank you so much for another update :steamhappy::steamthumbsup:
UattO  [author] 11 Aug @ 5:50pm 
I don't care about users number, but yes, i will add some images
Migs 11 Aug @ 1:38pm 
Hey, love your mod! Nice to see you added some sheaths and slings. As a suggestion, can you add screenshots from those new items? I think it would be great so other players know what to expect from it, I feel like that'd increase the number of users aswell.
UattO  [author] 9 Aug @ 3:05pm 
work belt is just lootable, in the future we will add more recipes and items
Keinori 6 Aug @ 6:39pm 
the work belt is craftable? i dont find it in craft menu
UattO  [author] 31 Jul @ 10:57am 
Maybe i will add something similar when i'll be not so busy
Taylor Swift 31 Jul @ 9:14am 
Is it possible to get a separate old version? I really liked using the sheath's mod along side this one, now my knives go on my shoulder when I use this mod. I think the new update of this mod did that.
UattO  [author] 31 Jul @ 4:00am 
@Rabbit thanks, i noticed this issue, i will add this in the description
Rabbit 30 Jul @ 7:19pm 
Minor Incompatibility with the Visible Belts B42 mod. When changing belt fit to "loose" make the belt fit over certain pants, the item changes to a type not addressed by this mod, causing the belt slots to become functional again.

I'll just "roleplay" my way out of it right now, but wanted to leave a comment so it could be possibly fixed for those who may want to host MP servers with the limitation, as those two mods together enable players to have a work-around to gain an advantage.
UattO  [author] 29 Jul @ 2:38am 
@John Smith no, there is not a b41 version because it should be a big work to make another version, expecially knowing that it will be useless in few month.
Anyway, there is a mod made from this one, it removes just the back slot: its name is "no back slot" or something similar and it works on b41
UattO  [author] 29 Jul @ 2:30am 
@jaquerossetto if you use these similar mods together with no errors, so this mod shouldn't cause any issues
John Smith 28 Jul @ 2:22pm 
hey is there another mod that does the same thing? I was using the b41 version then noticed that it wasn't working. So I came here only to find out it was taken down. Is there anyway you could put it back up?
jaquerossetto 28 Jul @ 2:17pm 
@UattO I use Noirs Rifle sling, Simple sling mod and Atachable Flashlight and Lantern
UattO  [author] 28 Jul @ 12:47pm 
@jaquerossetto wich mod do you use for slings?
