Look in the crafting menu, youll see the instructions to build them. if you dont have them in the crafting menu then you didnt install the mod
Lunark 16 Nov, 2024 @ 4:29pm 
How do i craft these? Why is there no instructions? What happens when i don't see these items available in crafting? Is this mod compatible with existing saves?
Haxer347 15 Nov, 2024 @ 1:46pm 
honestly if this had 3d models itd be a must have
KakubsSVK955 3 Nov, 2023 @ 10:30pm 
nice mod but when i crafted pillowcase backpack all my items disapear and lacks 3D model
J.C. Menton 2 Jun, 2023 @ 10:05am 
well its probably something else then... i have "spawn with items with what job you have" mod (yoda my was teacher english)
DarkJarris  [author] 2 Jun, 2023 @ 8:07am 
its not intended to, theres nothing in my mod that does that
J.C. Menton 2 Jun, 2023 @ 6:28am 
i have another question about bugs. is this mod spawning you with an inventory of 5 trashbags and other stuff like paper bags?
DarkJarris  [author] 2 Feb, 2023 @ 12:36pm 
Anytime!

Now I can roleplay properly as a homeless individual. Thanks!

how do you make the bags I dont see a recipe?
Nanoro 25 Aug, 2022 @ 8:57pm 
You should really get in contact with Maxwell218! They've got a very similar-looking mod going, but with 3D models and all. Why not collaborate, see if you could merge the mods for something even better?
DarkJarris  [author] 17 Aug, 2022 @ 12:38pm 
@MAB because there's no 3D model. I was looking into doing some but im no modeller
MAB 16 Aug, 2022 @ 1:56pm

Oooo thanks! :)

Hey @Cynical Nerdist, there's another mod that allows you to craft improvised backpacks with proper 3D models if you're interested

Cynical Nerdist 4 Mar, 2022 @ 7:45pm 
I really need this mod but am waiting for an update that adds proper models. Hope you can get around to it soon :)
DarkJarris  [author] 25 Jan, 2022 @ 2:46pm 
@WoodleDoodle if i can learn the modelling system in the near future then yes :D
Duck Buttock Goes Kwek Kwek 25 Jan, 2022 @ 2:47am 
Hello, just wondering. Do you have plans to add 3D models for the bags in the near future?
DarkJarris  [author] 17 Jan, 2022 @ 12:53pm 
@adres thanks so much for the offer! I made this before 3D models existed, so there are no models at all for it.
adres4t 16 Jan, 2022 @ 10:36am 
What models you need? I recently started with 3d modelling and can use this opportunity to learn a bit more.
Dwarden 26 Dec, 2021 @ 12:56pm 
in theory as placeholder you could re-use e.g. schoolbag model so it shows on back
with color similar to the resulting item (white, grey etc.)

ofc it would be nice if someone donated 3d model for this great mod
DarkJarris  [author] 22 Dec, 2021 @ 10:56am 
Yep, I'm not a 3D modeller, therefore it has no model
Xmidknight 21 Dec, 2021 @ 11:11pm 
Crafted a backpack and when I equipped it, the backpack doesn't show up on your character.
DarkJarris  [author] 13 Dec, 2021 @ 3:10pm 
@Lady Gears I haven't tested it yet, can't see why not though.I'd appreciate if you let me know
Girlboss, Gaslight, Gatekeep 12 Dec, 2021 @ 6:42am 
Is this compatible with 41.60 MP?
DarkJarris  [author] 24 Aug, 2021 @ 9:55am 
Correct. I'm not a 3d modeller. I said this on the 27th jun.
CLEO 22 Aug, 2021 @ 3:53am 
models ain't showing
Game version IWBUMS 41.53
forward 17 Aug, 2021 @ 11:25pm 
Equipped models are not visible on the character. Game version 41.53
DarkJarris  [author] 17 Jul, 2021 @ 11:10am 
It was an arduous process, but I've found how to add compatibility tags. Added build 40, 41, Multiplayer, and Item tags. They really hide those options away..
JackOverkill 16 Jul, 2021 @ 4:16am 
can there be a detail chart of item for how they are crafted and stats ??
LODE 5 Jul, 2021 @ 4:17am 
In Workshop, you can assign metadata to your projects to indicate which version of the game they are compatible with. As a user you can see this easily in workshop, it is a common checkbox people use to filter on only the versions they are playing. This is an important workshop feature for games like PZ that fragment their builds and partition player bases across different versions.
DarkJarris  [author] 4 Jul, 2021 @ 1:15pm 
I said this in 2019 when someone asked about build 41: unless they changed something with recipes, it works. This is the first I'm hearing about compatibility flags, I'll check them out
LODE 4 Jul, 2021 @ 10:35am 
I think he wants to know if it's compatible, you don't have any workshop compatibility flags on this mod. I also would like to know if this mod is b41 compatible
DarkJarris  [author] 4 Jul, 2021 @ 5:00am 
@JacobTheJanitor what about it?
Grove43256 2 Jul, 2021 @ 11:07am 
build 41?
Nish the Fish 26 Jun, 2021 @ 6:23pm 
I totally understand that. I haven't done much with modeling either.
I feel like this is something some generous and skilled 3d modeler might offer help for.
I might even try learning how to do this, and perhaps down the line I might offer assistance.
In the meantime, send out a request for help to wherever you can get the message out.
I believe in you.:steamthumbsup:

Btw, aside from this one feature request, I think the mod is fantastic.
DarkJarris  [author] 26 Jun, 2021 @ 4:56pm 
@Nish the Fish, I'm not much of a 3d modeller I'm afraid, I've thought about it when it was first announced there might be a model, but ultimately I didn't proceed.
Nish the Fish 24 Jun, 2021 @ 7:59pm 
I noticed there is no model showing when my character holds a bindle in the secondary hand. Is that something that should be working in my version, or do you plan on adding the model and animations at a later date?
If you haven't updated the mod since 2016, I might guess the answer is no.
forti3r 5 Apr, 2021 @ 7:19pm 
for some reason the sheet backpack hasn't been included in the recipe script but the details are provided in the items, there is even a gorgeous icon included. I modified my files to correct this but wanted to point this out in any case. cheers again for a phenom mod sir
DarkJarris  [author] 19 Dec, 2020 @ 9:22am 
@DarkArtistryNKP Thanks, I'll check out that mod and mine and see if theres a conflict. if so I'll update mine to try and work around it.
DarkArtistryNKP 18 Dec, 2020 @ 4:50pm 
To be honest I it seems like it might be a harmless error, unless whatever the issue is means that tent pegs have been removed due to a script error conflict. And might not even have anything to do with your mod, in the first place.
DarkArtistryNKP 18 Dec, 2020 @ 4:30pm 
The one by one trial method is gonna take a bit of time and effort. However at a minimum i can confirm at least one mod i'm using that has a recipe for crafting a tent peg so i suspect that's it.
That would be Into the Wild https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1967376134
DarkJarris  [author] 12 Dec, 2020 @ 1:18pm 
@DarkArtistryNKP can you list what mods you have? I can confirm then if I get the same issue. If you disable all mods but kine and test on a new save, do you have the same issue? I'd appreciate if you can try enabling each mod until you hit the error, then I'll try and make it compatible
DarkArtistryNKP 10 Dec, 2020 @ 11:58am 
I've got an error listed for the pillowcase backpack recipe in my console txt . cant find source "TentPeg" i'm assuming it's probably a conflict with another mod i have active that effects tentpegs or renames them.
Wyrd 19 Apr, 2020 @ 6:00pm 
@DarkJarris,
thank you very much. i must have a conflict going on. it didn't occur to me to check with the in-game menu that crafting was working properly. even so, it's a very helpful early-game mod. i appreciate your help!
DarkJarris  [author] 19 Apr, 2020 @ 7:15am 
I've just checked, and they show up in the crafting menu on the top left, here's a screenshot https://imgur.com/a/ZHelafR
