Scabbards?
« on: December 29, 2014, 11:51:34 am »

I find it kind of odd how you just place your weapon on your back, instead of carrying a scabbard or something. I'm interested in making a wearable scabbard, that you could place your sword in. Then maybe some sort of weapon loop thing on your waist for hammers and such. How would I go about doing this? Would I have to use the quiver and change sizes around?

AFAIK the best you could do would be some kind of "scabbard" armor that would be strictly decorative.

I wouldn't work well at all, but that would be the best you could do.

Don't take my word for it though, there may be something else that could be done. Check back, someone else may have a workable idea :)

You would probably be able to make a new type of bag object. So, basically the same concept as a quiver. Just for weapons instead. I don't know how to do it though, I'm not good at modding.

I don't think so.  A "bag" is a type of box.  A quiver is not a type of box, it is its own hardcoded type of object.  As far as i know there is nothing accessible to modify its functionality.

What about the pouch? Could I increase it's capacity to big enough to hold a sword!

You could at least try that, since the pouch is at least something that's defined in the raws.  You'll still be constrained by however the game interprets "[TOOL_USE:SMALL_OBJECT_STORAGE]".  There's no way to define a new "Tool use: sword storage" or whatever, those are hardcoded.
