Thanks! :CatWish:

well holding shift + clcik will quick grab/quick store the item you clicked and id like to also have that feature along with this one thats why i would change this mods button to tab or somthing
🐱  [author] 9 Dec, 2018 @ 3:03pm 
No, sadly anything related to controls is pretty hardcoded for most things -- IIRC activeitems (weapons, tools, etc, which this thing uses somehow) can only read the mouse clicks and shift. :sadcat:
You could maybe re-bind what shift is bound to by default in the options, but I don't remember what it is / does and I'm not sure how usable that'd be.
Wolf The Gamemaster 9 Dec, 2018 @ 1:50pm 
can you change the button in game through settings?
🐱  [author] 2 Nov, 2018 @ 4:53pm 
It should, yes. It works with the containers' config rather than the containers themselves, which is often re-used. If it doesn't work on a chest, just mention it here and I'll look into it! :CatWish:
Maze-T11 2 Nov, 2018 @ 2:04pm 
So i found this mod on a youtube let's play and this would be extreamly helpfull mod but do this work on FU and improve containers? i notice this mod last updated last year
🐱  [author] 12 Sep, 2018 @ 6:48am 
Thanks! Nothing suspicious again, I might just change it to something that doesn't ask for a log :Neko:
Numerfolt 12 Sep, 2018 @ 5:50am

Found the secret trick, here's my log if it helps https://pastebin.com/pr5Sz2q6
Catoverflow 4 May, 2018 @ 6:55am 
SO, should I post the log?
Catoverflow 4 May, 2018 @ 6:52am 
Well, I just found the "secret trick". What a coincidence!
🐱  [author] 4 May, 2018 @ 6:49am 
> Wouldn't you just be dropping whatever item you're looking at from the container?
Yeah it'd drop the item you currently have equipped or the thing you're "holding" with your mouse (eg. if you're moving stuff in inventory)

> I only just happen to notice it if I'm looking in my main tab long enough
You mean the inventory tab?

> I'm just shift-clicking containers one after another, without closing the previous.
Are you moving stuff in your inventory at the same time? If not I really have no clues, at worst if it takes too long it should make a "chain" of them in your "cursor slot", replacing the previous one until there's none left

> This is the only time I've ever clicked it, and then it just disappears. (No container is open at this point.)
Ye as expected, it doesn't need the container to be currently open for stuff to be collected from it; it stores it's id when it's created
Serath 3 May, 2018 @ 4:10pm 
I am quick when I use it yes, but I'm typically selective when using it. If I'm going through containers I know will have random stuff that I can collect en masse I'll shift-loot it. If it's a chest, a container that I know there's a good chance to have a weapon, or just curious, I"ll open it manually.

I've never pressed the drop item button at all when looting. (Wouldn't you just be dropping whatever item you're looking at from the container?) I'm just shift-clicking containers one after another, without closing the previous. The transfer to my inventory is instant so I dunno what I'd be interrupting.

I've never actually "seen" the item appear when it does. I only just happen to notice it if I'm looking in my main tab long enough, usually if I haven't auto-sorted yet. This is the only time I've ever clicked it, and then it just disappears. (No container is open at this point.)
🐱  [author] 3 May, 2018 @ 10:15am 
As you pick it back up, it should finish emptying the chest if it's not empty (dropping stuff on the ground if the inventory is full), then either disappear or set itself to the item you had on the "cursor slot" (the slot where items you move around go) if you had one;

Do you happen to quickly click on stuff / press the "drop item" button while holding a container?
Maybe it takes long enough to empty a chest that you can "interupt" it (by dropping it, or clicking on a chest / inventory slot) while it does it's job
Serath 3 May, 2018 @ 2:03am 
It still happens from time to time. I'm curious what happens if my tab is full and I trigger it again?
🐱  [author] 25 Apr, 2018 @ 2:54pm 
The log doesn't say anything out of the ordinary, but I'm still unsure why that thing happens sometimes... Thanks for taking the time to post it, tho! :Neko:
Serath 25 Apr, 2018 @ 12:12am 
Got freaked out by the strange item, so here's a log.

Mod works though, as far as I know.

@Gunvarrel Not this mod
ironic Toblerone 25 Jan, 2018 @ 3:13pm 
is it FU compatable
Gunvarrel 1 Jan, 2018 @ 2:33pm

Don`t know, how can i add log file - got 2 hacks during dungeon of mama poptom
🐱  [author] 25 Dec, 2017 @ 9:25am 
wweird, if it happens again, could you post your log file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound usually) on pastebin and post the link here? Thanks!
video james 25 Dec, 2017 @ 8:08am 
I didn't get them from any mod. I was looting a prison, and got them.
video james 25 Dec, 2017 @ 8:07am 
When I hit spawn outfit, yeah. But I just got two more, from seemingly nowhere.
🐱  [author] 25 Dec, 2017 @ 5:43am 
SadlyTM there's no way to check if an object is placed by a player; I believe the closest I could do would be to check if the tiles behind / below the chest were, but that might not always mean that the chest itself was. I don't think that's accurate enough to use.

Maybe instead I could make a tool to "mark" chests as "blacklisted", but that sounds like a hassle to mark each chest just for this.
Another way could be to give the player temporary "looted items list" for each looted chests with a "cancel and put everything back" button, or simply have a setting to disable autoloot on chests past a certain size... 🤔


Any reasons you had shift pressed, or you just did it without thinking?
TOAST 25 Dec, 2017 @ 4:14am 
"Placed" chest should be an exception. Shift Left Click on my 300 room storage crate?
Revalopod 25 Dec, 2017 @ 3:28am 
ok lol
🐱  [author] 25 Dec, 2017 @ 3:16am 
@Kurz Thanks for the heads'up!
@ProfSplosion Thanks! When did it happen? As you clicked "Spawn outfit"? Was it easily reproductible? If so, I just pushed an update, can you reproduce it again?
@RevCat: "a disgusting hack" is an invisible item that shouldn't be visible to the player, but sometimes is. That name was some sort of a private joke for anyone reading the code, but for players it must've been confusing so I changed it today. Sorry for the confusion!
