The modmaking discord isn't a friendly place. Rather than help me when I was clearly unfamiliar with the terminology, I was made fun of because apparently I used the word "animations" rather than "cosmetics" or something like that. I'm not even sure what term I was supposed to use. It was rude and hurt my feelings. Felt very mean spirited. I would not recommend.

This mod doesn't interact with Tac Armory UI in any way, but Tac Armory UI itself is known to cause crashes for many people and not recommended for use.

seems a bit fucky with musashi's tactical armory ui

Fair enough. I'll try to reach out to TeslaRage, see what happens. As for DSP, I know the author personally, and let's just say there's a reason for him being abrasive, don't hold it against him.

The previous time I tried reporting a bug, in this case for the dedicated pistol slot mod, I was just told it didn't support using a mod that I didn't even have in a dismissive way. It left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.

Don't get me wrong, I think having curated loadouts to randomly choose from is a really good idea.
I tried informing TeslaRage through the mod posting and putting in a github pull request. I haven't seen any activity from them since fall of last year so I don't know how long it might take them to see it and it's a noticeable bug.
Honestly I tried to write it as a patch that overwrites his class instead of reposting the entire project but nothing I did would let it load the config files.

Fair enough, your way makes more sense for lots of inventory slots, even with just the two utility slots the loadout list for my mod got a bit unwieldy.

It's just slightly annoying; in our modmaking community it's customary to give the courtesy of asking for permission when you intend to copy someone's work, even if you make substantial modifications.

For example, your reupload of the TeslaRage's loot mod with a bug fix; you could probably just inform TeslaRage of the bug and they'd fix it for everyone.

I invite you to come by the modmaking discord at some point, it's a friendly place.

The arbitrary slots bit is specifically in relationship to my earlier version 2 which had hardcoded slots.
It's meant to function wildly different than yours, just my own personal taste.
Instead of manually creating a list of loadouts for it to choose from randomly I build a randomized loadout from lists of items. If you have too many item options it would expand exponentially and, for some reason, the engine didn't like parsons millions of lines of an ini file.

Also, my mod supports all inventory slots out of the box, so I'm not sure what are you talking about there.

If you're gonna copy my mod without even asking, at least have the courtesy of making your own mod preview image.
