Banjo's Reusable/De-Weaponized Pens & Pencils

@Fookin Diablo: I will take a look at making a mod for that for you. Might not be right away, but happy to do it if I can.

Can you de-weaponize silverware? Forks, spoons, knives?

Sorry for the delay. Now updated for use with build 41.50 and (thanks to Oh God Spiders No letting me know about the new engine changes) now shouldn't have any problems with other mods as patching vanilla UI files are no longer needed.

@Oh God Spiders No:I am and am definitely interested in an update that doesn't force me to patch the vanilla files every time! Thanks!

Are you still maintaining this? The devs recently added a change that makes it way easier for you to make it so you can write with crayons. It won't require you to patch any of the vanilla lua files so you won't have to update it every time there's a new version.

I'll post the code in a discussion page

I think the game loads all lua files from all mods, and then executes them in alphabetical order. If two mods have lua files with the same name, one of them will get overwritten, although I'm not entirely sure which one gets preference. I think it's the one that's lower on the load order.

Load order depends entirely on the player; they're loaded in the order in which they press the "Enable" button in the Mods menu. The one exception to this is if one mod requires another by adding a require=mod_name, the reqiured mod will load first, and the one that specified the requirement will load second. This is why the game refuses to load if two mods require each other; it doesn't know which one to listen to.

Point being that it's conceivable that the player might load our mods in either order, so it's good that both of them are set up to deal with the other :)

Thanks heaps, Oh God Spiders No! I've updated my mod for 41.35 here anyway, too (let me know if it doesn't work).

Oh I also added a check to LetMeThink that will change editables if it detects your mod. That way ours should work together regardless of which one the game ends up loading.

41.35 came out yesterday, and I needed to patch ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.lua for LetMeThink. There's only one line difference after that to make it ready for BanjoRDPAP so I figured I'd save you the work. I put it in the discussion section.

(I've also submitted a bug report to the devs on their site about not being able to use red pens, blue pens and crayons to write with... IMO, it's a bug that you can't use those, only pencils and black pens, and if they fix that, I don't need to mod ISInventoryPaneContextMenu.lua at all).
