Mattock

Hi there and welcome to my first mod for medieval engineers. This is something I have wanted in the game for ages, I just never took the leap of learning how to mod for the game.

After taking a look at white Raven's Soil Grader Mod I finally decided to have a go. Thanks to Mirzipan's scripts core mod and inspiration from Equinox's Rail Asset Mod I was able to do it! So without further delay...

You now have a new tool in your inventory, introducing the Mattock! The mattock is for digging in the soil so you are able to get rid of all the vegetation/sod/grass (for the bigger bushes in the forest you might still need your shovel!).

Some uses for your new Mattock include but are not restricted to:
- Make some roads or paths for your village/leading up to your house
- Clear an area for your camp sight
- Clear the grass around your buildings
- Clear the area of sod in the courtyards that are inside your buildings

Known Issues:
-Sometimes the tool gets stuck in my hand in combat mode so that I can't select another hand item. I don't know what is causing this or how to fix it. I have found two workarounds. Go into 3rd person view and start swinging it around and then stop and you get back into non combat mode. I can then proceed to change the item in my hand. The other is to save your progress in game and then come back in.
- I have HUD icons for the mattocks but they don't seem to appear with the Copper or Steel versions of the Mattock.
- I have also created HUD's icon's for "you don't have permission" and "can't remove soil here" but they don't seem to work/appear. I don't know if this is a restriction of Mirzipan's script or if I have done something wrong in my .sbc file.
