DETOX  [author] 26 Nov, 2024 @ 5:54am 
No problem the heat system is based on body temperature and not world.

Also other batterie mods mess up with mine for unknown reason

HOW TO USE:

1. In order to activate the portable heater you must first equip the item in your main hand.

[The "device options" menu/ON-OFF function cannot be accessed via the inventory menu.]

2. Once you equip the heater to your hand, the "device options" window will pop up for the heater (as though it were a radio).

3. Turn the item on in the "device options" window in order to activate the heating effect.

Now that the device is powered on, you may attach it to your walkie-talkie slot on your belt and it will continue to function as intended.

Note: Unlike other external heat sources, this portable heater is not reflected on your in-game thermometer (such as the temperature indicator from the digital watch).

The portable heater does not heat the area around the device.

It simply stabilizes your character's body temperature at a level determined by the value that you have set in the sandbox settings [37=Normal Temperature - neither hot nor cold].

DETOX  [author] 13 Nov, 2023 @ 10:56pm 
Holy comment
Prob excuses
J 12 Nov, 2023 @ 9:51am 
Did u update or are you just yappin with excuses? lemme know if u need help programming it
DETOX  [author] 7 Nov, 2023 @ 4:25am 
yeah this is my first mod maybe have to update all of it
AAAAAAAAAAAA 6 Nov, 2023 @ 4:52pm 
Yeah, the body temperature Doesnt increase from the heater ?
The Body temperature in health tab still goes down , the only thing the Heater does is prevent the hypothermia moodle, the moment the heater is off you instantly hypothermic ._.
AAAAAAAAAAAA 6 Nov, 2023 @ 4:34pm 
i just get stacking error messages and it doesnt provide any heat

whats the item ID?
Andrew 1 Oct, 2023 @ 7:12pm 
@DETOX hey, forgot to mention, if you equip it, turn it ON, and then equip other item, the thing stays on permanently without using batteries, haven't touched it and its still providing heat days after
Andrew 22 Sep, 2023 @ 8:19pm 
@DETOX that would be awesome, specially since your mod is perfect for the cryo winter mod o/
DETOX  [author] 22 Sep, 2023 @ 2:25am 
@Andrew i will try and see a fix for this
Andrew 21 Sep, 2023 @ 5:59pm 
wait, managed to do it by just double clicking the weapon I want to equip after turning it on, seems like using the SWAP IT mod turns it off, but can keep it on when not using the fast swap
Andrew 21 Sep, 2023 @ 5:42pm 
@DETOX the problem is that unlike a radio, I cant see the "device options" button unless its in a primary/secondary hand, I just managed to bug it for a bit to have it on but cant recreate, if I do find a way will post it in case someone else is having the same issue (I really think its the better belt mod)
DETOX  [author] 21 Sep, 2023 @ 4:57pm 
its like a radio you can put it on and leave it on your belt it works for me
if i'm not mistaken you can turn it on and leave it in your inventory.
Andrew 21 Sep, 2023 @ 4:33pm 
@DETOX sorry it wont work, Im using 2 mods related to this that might be causing conflict, one is swap it and the other is better belts, (even tho I tried with a normal belt), but whenever is on my belt, if I right click it, it wont show the options to turn it on, and if I press the corresponding button (2 or 3) it just equips it
DETOX  [author] 21 Sep, 2023 @ 3:26pm 
@Andrew attach it in your belt turn it on and there you go.
Andrew 21 Sep, 2023 @ 2:08pm 
how can I have it working without having it on any of my hands? I can only see the device menu when its equipped, the moment is not equipped in any hand it turns OFF

someone asked this so they can get the heater working and fight with 2 handed weapons and you said to turn it ON and then move it to inventory, but when is not on hands it turns OFF
DETOX  [author] 13 Jun, 2023 @ 1:25pm 
@Murasame no its not need
DETOX  [author] 13 Jun, 2023 @ 1:24pm 
@Space Donuts i'm very sorry i didnt change any Code it only like recharges the batteries there is no code
Kobato 13 Jun, 2023 @ 3:12am 
Can you use this without the Cryogenic winter mod?
Space Donuts 13 Jun, 2023 @ 1:05am 
I am also experiencing the can't insert batteries, think it is in conflict with Better Batteries. :(

send help... freezing to death and can't go out at night waaay too dark :(
DETOX  [author] 28 Mar, 2023 @ 12:32pm 
haha thank you ! :spiffo:
like i said i will try and troubleshoot this issue
Tim 28 Mar, 2023 @ 11:15am 
I know its weird but it only happens when I have your mod installed. Im not a programmer so I had to use the process of elimination and I skipped your mod many times because I too didnt think that it would have any effect. But then on a whim I took it off the list and the issue is gone. All my other mods are still on. I know how hard it must be to code so I still appreciate your work and your mod.
DETOX  [author] 27 Mar, 2023 @ 2:07pm 
i would have to test and see what can i do to fix it
DETOX  [author] 27 Mar, 2023 @ 2:06pm 
yeah but it doesnt affect anything
it doesnt have any code that misses with batteries only recharges them
Tim 27 Mar, 2023 @ 12:30pm 
Wasn't there a battery charger with your mod?
DETOX  [author] 26 Mar, 2023 @ 2:54pm 
Tim hm weird i didnt change anything about batteries
Tim 26 Mar, 2023 @ 12:31pm 
Your mod broke my flashlights, cant insert batteries back into them when using your mod. When I remove the mod the issue goes away. Its a great mod though, just got this weird bug.

@DETOX
Thank you very much
DETOX  [author] 21 Mar, 2023 @ 5:52am 
@Lriy
Of cours , everything is free to use
落雨-FY 21 Mar, 2023 @ 5:48am 
Hello,I want to make a enhanced version of your mod for my own use.I change the code to set character temperature and use player:getBodyDamage():getThermoregulator():reset() to set the character's temperature and remove the need to use a battery. Can i get the permisson?By the way,this mod is wonderful,I appreciate it a lot.
DETOX  [author] 3 Feb, 2023 @ 8:28am 
hmm @Edin it works only in one way
i have just tested, it only will take time to set the temperature. but after the batteries are off you will still get back to current world temperature :/ i think the game works as as grid not actual player temperature all though it works.
DETOX  [author] 3 Feb, 2023 @ 8:02am 
@Edin yes something like that
but its only one option for multiplier and the other for what temperature you want to set you. if the current temperature gets over the temperature you wanted the game will set the current temperature to your option.
Edin 3 Feb, 2023 @ 7:59am 
So it would be two settings for the mod, then? One that governs which temperature it aims towards and one that decides on how quick/powerful the temperature control unit is in achieving those numbers?
DETOX  [author] 3 Feb, 2023 @ 7:49am 
@Edin Yes i'm working on a system that multiplies the current temperature for the player.
so it will take time to from freezing to normal , and also added a option for player to get Air instead of heat. so in summer you can cool your self, since the multipier will most likely break the summer effect.
Indoor would have much more temperature changes
See it like this
"Current Temperature * Multiplier" so if your are in hypothermia like 22.0 or something like that it will do 22.0* for example 1.15
Edin 3 Feb, 2023 @ 7:16am 
Ok, so I found a fun thing, the heater doesn't actually seem to change what temperature it puts your character on, it seems to just forcibly adjust the temperature moodles which has almost, but not quite, the same effect.

Example; my character freezing to death in less than 30 minutes because the heater ran out of battery and instantly went from a balmy 37 degrees to so deep into hypothermia that even getting back into my heated base he croaked shortly afterwards.

Also example; my character exercising in winter clothing during summer and showing no issue while the "heater" is on and set to 36 degrees, only to instantly get sun struck after I turn the heater off.
