Eliaz Better Bags & Backpacks B42

Description
Built for version 42
This mod add modded versions for all bags you can wear in the game (even new ones introduced in B42)
This includes all bags and backpacks you can wear on your back, but also satchels, fanny packs, duffels bags and even webbings.
A better backpack for better looting !


=> Bigger capacity and weight reduction for many bags and backpacks
=> Bags and Backpacks weight halved / Speed penalty deleted
=> Starting crafted backpack included (Sheet Sling Bag)
=> Special feature : Backpack, Satchel, Fannypack, Webbing and Shoulderpads can be worn together !
=> Shoulderpads changed : weight halved, combat speed modifier and discomfort modifier deleted


How to obtain the modded Bags and Backpack :
They are not lootable, you have to find a Vanilla Bag and convert it to a modded one.
=> You can find the crafting recipe in the crafting menu "Convert to modded Backpack"
=> It's free craft you just need the vanilla backpack you want to convert
=> Your bag need to be empty in order to be converted to a modded bag
=> You can directly convert a bag by right clicking it if the bag is empty
=> If needed, you can convert back a modded bag to vanilla bag by right clicking it if the bag is empty


WARNING :
=> The Fannypack doesn't need to be converted, it'll convert automatically when you'll wear it for the 1st time (capacity will go up from 1 to 4 or 2 to 5 with organized trait)
=> The Satchels will have textures issues when worn with special clothes like bulletproof vest, I don't know how to solve it, if anyone have an idea, let me know in the comments please ;)

First off, thanks for this amazing mod! However, after subscribing (and enabling), I don't see an option to convert my duffel bag. The recipe also doesn't show up in my crafting menu either. Is there another prerequisite I'm not aware of? Like a skillbook or something?

Can you add compatibility for duffel bag tweaks? Cant equip converted duffel bag to lower back but will still work if converting the duffel while already equipped. Just a slight inconvenience.

Any plans to add compatibility support for KATTAJ1's Military backpacks?

@Kenpachi :
And I didn't make any slots modifications, only capacity and weight reduction are modified...

@Kenpachi :
I specially made this mod with specific moded items, not vanilla modified items.
So it works even if B42 upgrades are made, maybe I have to introduce new backpacks like the new crafted ones (so right now, I need to make a mod update to include them)
So you just have to convert vanbilla backpacks to modded ones, if there is any problem doing this please let me know
And please remember you still have possibility to convert back modded backpacks to vanilla backpacks if any issues appears...

I think I had this running together with pack mule, because I didn't pay close enough attention. I don't recall anything horrible happening but I'm a toddler when it comes to coding. If two mods mix like this, where both make "slots" available... could that damage anything in the long term?

I was trying to trace a few errors, but the vagueness of the console.txt baffles me sometimes. Thanks for all the work. I guess I need to read carefully and see which option works for my needs.

UPDATE Version 1.1 :

=> Added recipe to convert back a modded backpack to vanilla
=> Added hability to wear Shoulderpads with backpack
=> Changed Shoulderpads : weight halved, combat speed modifier and discomfort modifier deleted

@Eliaz, thanks for your reply.

There was a mod that did this before, "Shoulder Slot B42", but it stopped working and the author stopped updating and making mods due to personal issues.

Maybe, with your knowledge and looking at this existing one, you can have some idea.

Anyway, thank you very much for your magnificent work.
