Playing on the most recent beta, it seems like the 3D model for the sheet bag isn't showing up. Bag works, and the icon shows up in your inventory and on the ground, just not the 3D model while wearing or carrying it. Great mod otherwise, thanks!

Yup this is normal. Just need 2 new files for the 3d placement. Shouldn't take long but please be patient as I am currently getting f***ed with school and work. Sorry about that brother man.

backpack appearing as normal vanilla backpack
I'm having a problem where the backpack that you craft out of a tarp, sheet or pillowcase shows up as a normal backpack. The other 3d model variation of the backpack as well as the sheet bag doesn't show up at all.

I'm using Linux and I'm playing the gog version. I suspected that since on Linux, files are case sensitive that could be causing the problem. Some of the filepaths have incorrect case-sensitivity that doesn't match. Changing this did not fix the problem. Adding .fbx to the end of the model filepaths in each of the xmls in /media/clothing/clothingItems (which is what I observed another clothing mod doing) didn't work either.

Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

ok I figured out the problem. Renaming the file "FileGuidTable.xml" to "fileGuidTable.xml" fixed it. On Linux, filename capitalization matters a lot more than it does on Windows because it runs on the ext4 filesystem instead of ntfs.

The reason I was getting that vanilla backpack was because I was actually using the hydrocraft backpack and didn't even know it.

Did you enable 3d items in the game options?

Is the backpack visible when wearing it or equipping it?

Are you on linux or windows?

Yes I had 3d objects enabled the entire time. I tried redownloading your mod and turning that option off and back on again just in case but no dice. The backpacks are invisible when worn and show a 2d sprite on the ground. As for my OS it’s Linux. Specifically its steam deck and the oled version running the latest software update 3.5.19. I doubt it’s the steam deck is maybe a Linux thing in general? I use the default steam linux runtime 1.0 (scout) proton ver. Maybe all this info will be helpful

It might be a file capitalization issue then. I'll look into it! Ty for reporting back
