@lvdsvl, it's more time than anything else (aside from aptitude imho, but still relative). Among other things, I lack time.

This mod came out a few years after my little poc:
https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3018929461

There is an "unofficial" B42 version of the above by another uploader. I think it has what you need?

And then, if you push one of those inputs, but there’s nothing to drop, and at the same time your cursor points on an item (whether on the floor or in a container’s menu), you could attempt to equip said item in the corresponding slot.

I wish I could code myself

If I was a coder I’d probably do it myself but I’m just a silly designer so I’ve got a different suggestion for controls:

Z == drop a genny/corpse
Z+LMB == drop your “equip primary” thing
Z+RMB == drop your “equip secondary” thing
Z+MMB (or possibly Z+RMB+LMB if fancy) == drop your backpack, and then fanny packs, one by one as you press repeatedly

All regardless of whether you have containers equipped in your hands, jerry cans, tools or weapons, etc.

This will allow for intuitive selection of what to drop, and will streamline actions that should feel much more unconscious than they do in vanilla, like dropping log stacks or said jerry cans, or the actual containers.

If someone could be a really strong coder, they could even make it so that if you hover your mouse over an opened container’s menu and push the desired combination, you will attempt to drop the corresponding item into that container.

update?

This mod is making my items have a red label when i try to transfer them to containers, even though the container has space. Bug or can that be disabled?

@Yosemite_Sam

Enable Steam Input in the steam controller configurator. Took about 15 seconds from there to map 'Z' on my xbox one controller.

Love this mod! Would you be able to add controller support? I mapped L5 on my Steam Deck to Z, but there isn't an alternative with a regular controller. Could you add it to one of the radial menus? Maybe the same menu as the speed and zoom controls?

Thank you!

Jerry cans aren't considered containers like bags, they are a usable item like duct tape, twine, etc.

For dropping generators/heavy bodies, the following works in singleplayer. I haven't tested in MP. For performance reasons, I'd suggest doing this first, before checking for bags. There's no need to check for bags to drop if the player has gen/body in hand imo. Feel free to use it, don't care about credit, it's been working for me fine but don't shoot me if it breaks things. :)

local primaryItem = player:getPrimaryHandItem();

if primaryItem and isForceDropHeavyItem(primaryItem) then
ISTimedActionQueue.add(ISUnequipAction:new(player, primaryItem, 50))
return
end

@Gaist Heidegger Eggon's Hotkeys has a hotkey to pickup/drop corpses if you're interested. ;)

I can try to take a look in the lua and see if it's got something peculiar. Edgewise, it would be handy if this also let you quick drop a generator or corpse, as a possible future consideration! But we did have a few players in the server ditch their backpack without realizing what had happened, so if you ever did implement that as an optional toggle it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Strange. Based on my mod's logic, that would mean the jerrycans are not legit containers or are not equipped (according to PZ). Not sure what that mod has done...

Something's a little screwy, it's dropping backpack -first- and then not dropping e.g. jerry cans in hand after. Maybe it just doesn't recognize fuel containers from the can can jerrycan mod or something?

I could, but to keep the reasons brief I'll just say I'm too lazy =(

You could bind the drop key to something you won't hit accidentally?

Might there be an option to make that last bit a toggle / option / long-press or something to avoid accidentally ditching your backpack in a panic?

Yep. Secondary, primary, then back. If nothing in secondary or primary...you'll drop your backpack. Sorry if the description doesn't make that clear

Is this supposed to also drop equipped backpacks if you hit the hotkey when not carrying a container in your hands?

Hello, I found the issue that when items inside whatever bags(only except player inventory) are displayed unavailable to move when it's drag-dropped.
Though is if fully functional but the only problem is I can't remark if the target container is full or not.
I'm not certain if this issue existed before 41.68 update because I've installed this mod after the update...
But if you still support this mod, please fix this issue. Thanks!

Theforealien thanks for the mod, do you still support this mod?

If so, I would like to make a suggestion. Could you make the same button to drop the backpack, also work to pick up and equip? It would be fantastic.

thanks for your mod

This mod saves many lives )))

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful mod

@Survivor, thank you for the boost. Happy to see you are still finding it useful since your last comment =)

Great mod. Thank you!

I am using Font Size 2X and the hitbox for the Drop button is not aligned properly. I am unable to click the button because when I approach the misaligned hitbox, the my inventory window minimizes. Is this fixable?

hey, author. this mod great. Pls add ability drop zombie corpses. cause it boring to rightclicking

Hey, @Ink. Sorry for the delay. I use this mod and haven't had any issues fwiw, haha. I assume the bag(s) you are trying to drop are equipped? (i.e. on your back, primary or secondary hand).

Anecdotally, I have seen at least one other mod that uses the 'z' key by default. Any other mods that may be interfering? GL, keep me posted.

Worst case, unsub and sub again to refresh the mod files.

Having a bit of trouble getting this to work in 41.55 - anything i need to do other than check the keybindings in the menu? Using 'z' and re-binding again just in-case, i've yet to drop anything.

I actually was inspired to make this mod because of Airekc on YouTube. I saw a few videos where he was scrolling to drop bags being held when surprised. If you're reading this, Airekc...miss the vids and hope all is well.

You make a valid point, but I think if you are willing to drop one bag...you should consider that you are in a situation to drop everything in your hands. Haha. Afterwards, the hotbar is your friend.

I see it was made for 2 handed weapons as you drop the secondary bag 1st and auto hold the weapon in 2 hands. But what about 1 handed weapons? Like holding 2 heavy bags and you wanna drop your primary 1st to equip a one handed weapon.

No complaints. I assume so

Still working with 41.52 ?

Thank you, you absolute fucking god. This has been such a massive fix. Is it possible you could add this to the hands slots (Primary/secondary) as well?

This mod was built on the IWBUMS branch, yes.

Does it work on 41.X?

and after all thank you- doing mods changing gameplay it awesome. So if you able to do that: to climb over the window, you need to hold the e button and this has a long delay. Can you replace the "hold E" action with another customizable option? for example a single "T"

Okay, I'll use Google translator: I mean dropping objects (not bags) in my hands (like sledgehammer, heavy shotgun, etc.) after there are no bags left on my back and in my hands. I really like the idea of pressing one button at a time to reset one thing at a time.

Just to clarify...Are you suggesting that you could hit a single button to queue dropping all bags (primary, secondary and back) instead of hitting the bound button three times?

can you add posibility drop EVERYTHING in hands after all?

Thank you! Very usefull mod!

@Matt, thankfully there was a UI event to indicate the column menu had been built. I added a hook to introduce a new "drop" button that will float to the right of the bags' icon. A little janky, but I think this should cover your requirement. =)

Any issues at all, just lemme know! Hope it helps!

Would it also be possible add in an option to right-click on the bag icon in the column container menu to "Drop"?

NP :D
mooders are the core of this game IMHO!
btw there is a mod similar to your "restock idea". The mod stacks duplicate items to a selected container. But you have to check and stack every container to clean up your inventory.
have fun with modding :D

Thanks for the feedback! Don't hesitate to keep me posted on any issues and I'll remediate asap. First mod and workshop interaction altogether. Good chance I do something silly ;)

Next mod should be a "restock" to place duplicate items from inventory in nearby containers. These mods are really for me, haha, but I thought I could clean then up and share properly.

Thank you. great work! I use Z to enter, while I'm in front of cars. Now that's perfect

@spyware, it took me a second to reverse engineer the menu options code. But I've added a custom key binding under Options -> Key Bindings.

I've not tested what would actually happen, but this mod will not allow you to drop your bag while in a vehicle. Hope that helps!

uhm, and the quick Z menu? you drop your bag before enter cars? I Use Z to select seats, usually.
Is this bindable?
