Portable Sorters Readme
v1.3
by Tekuromoto
------------
Introduction
------------
Do you wish you could have the convenience and utility of the Cobl ingredient sorter while
out collecting ingredients? Need to quickly find that Cure Disease potion you're sure you
bought? Just want to tidy up your inventory? Use the Portable Sorters - Ingredient Pouch,
Scroll Case and Potion Case - which give you the convenience of the Cobl Sorter in a
portable package.
Formerly Alchemy Pouch, Portable Sorters provides all the features of the previous mod plus
sorters for potions and scrolls.
------------
Requirements
------------
Oblivion Script Extender version 18. Get the latest version here:
http://obse.silverlock.org/
You MUST have OBSE v18 for this mod to work. It will not work properly with earlier
versions.
Cobl (Common Oblivion) version 1.48 or higher. Link to the latest version, as well as all
the docs, can be found here: http://wrye.ufrealms.net/Cobl.html
Portable Sorters was developed with Oblivion 1.2.0416 (with Shivering Isles), OBSE v18,
Cobl 1.73, and over 200 mods of all sorts installed (Fran's, MMM, body replacers, All
Natural, Better Cities, Unique Landscapes, quests, you name it). It _should_ work just fine
with any setup.
------------
Installation
------------
Portable Sorters comes packaged in BAIN-ready format. If you use Wrye Bash' installer
feature, simply drop the archive into your Bash Installers directory and activate the
package in the installers tab. Couldn't be easier.
If you prefer to install manually, simply unzip the contents of the archive to your
Oblivion\data\ directory. You can delete the "omod conversion data" folder, but it won't
hurt anything if you leave it alone.
Don't forge to activate the mod using the method of your choice. Load order does not
matter: everything in the mod is new, and no vanilla items are changed.
Once the files are in place and the .esp is activated, simply fire up Oblivion.
Upgrading
---------
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Portable Sorters, there is no need to do
anything special. None of your items will be lost during the upgrade. Note however that
there is a new ini file with a new option (RetrieveFoods) that you will need to edit to
reflect your preferences. I suggest backing up your old file before copying the new one
over.
If you are upgrading from the original incarnation of this mod, Alchemy Pouch v1.0, you
should follow the install procedure in the Alchemy Pouch readme before disabling DS Alchemy
Pouch.esp or you will lose the contents of the pouch. The simplest way to retrieve your
items from the pouch is to equip it, select "Retrieve by name" and take all of the items
from the container.
You can run Portable Sorters alongside Alchemy Pouch because all of the formIDs in the new
mod have been renumbered using TES4Edit. Other than facilitating the transition to the new
mod, however, there is no reason to use both mod since all of the functions of the Alchemy
Pouch mod are included in Portable Sorters.
------------
How It Works
------------
The Basics
----------
When the mod is first loaded you will be given the three sorter items: the Ingredient
Pouch, the Scroll Case and the Potion Case. You can change the name of each of the items to
suit your tastes; see Customization, below.
Clicking on one of the sorters in your inventory opens the Cobl Sorter. It functions in all
respects just like the sorter would in a house, except that it has been customized to only
allow you to store the respective item in each container. There is no limit to the amount
of items you can store in the containers, but if you load too much into it, it will be too
heavy to carry around. Every time you access one of the sorters, the weight of the items in
the relevant remote storage container are tallied and the weight of the pouch or case is
set to this total. To adjust the weight of the pouch or case, see Customization, below.
If you drop one of the portable sorters you can access its contents by activating it, just
like a normal house-based sorter. To pick it up again, activate it while in sneak mode.
You can also assign any of the sorter items to a hotkey and open it without having to open
your inventory. Of course, it must be in your inventory for this to work (ie, not in
another container).
-------------
Customization
-------------
The mod includes a few settings that you can use to customize the pouch to your liking.
Simply open "DS Portable Sorters.ini" in Notepad or something similar. By default this file
is found in your "<install path>\Oblivion\data\" directory; if you prefer to tidy your data <br><br>directory, you can move the file to "<install path>\Oblivion\data\ini\". Also, if you're <br><br>like me and play with multiple characters, you can have a different ini file for each <br><br>character if you choose. Simply copy the ini file and rename the copy with your character's <br><br>name appended to it like so: "DS Portable Sorters - Example Name.ini". If a named ini file <br><br>exists then the mod will use it for the respective character. If not, it'll use the default <br><br>file.<br><br>Customization is the same for each sorter item; details below use the Ingredient Pouch as <br><br>an example.<br><br>By default, the pouch is named "Ingredient Pouch", has a weight factor of 1.0, and weighs <br><br>1.0 stones when empty.<br><br>IngredPouchName - This allows you to easily rename the pouch to "Reagents" or "Alchemy <br><br>Sorter" or whatever you like. I personally like to preface the name with a leading <br><br>character like "." to keep it at the top of the misc items list.<br><br>IngredPouchWeightMult - This adjusts how much the pouch weighs. The total weight of all the <br><br>items in the pouch (or rather, the remote container) is calculated and then multiplied by <br><br>the WeightMult. The weight of the empty pouch is added to this to get the total weight. <br><br>Thus, if you put 10 stones worth of ingredients into the pouch, and the WeightMult is 1.0, <br><br>and the EmptyWeight is 0.5, the total weight will be 10.5 stones. If the WeightMult is <br><br>0.75, the total weight will be 8.0 stones. One thing to note is that Oblivion doesn't <br><br>display the decimal if the weight is over 1 stone; that is, 1.5 is shown as 2. The <br><br>fractional units are still tallied properly to get your overall encumbrance, however. And <br><br>yes, if WeightMult and EmptyWeight are both 0 the total weight will be 0.0 stones. Knock <br><br>yerself out. :P<br><br>IngredPouchEmptyWeight - This is the weight of the empty pouch, which is added to (total <br><br>contents weight x WeightMult).<br><br>RetrieveFoods - Allows you to retrieve only those ingredients flagged as "food" if you are <br><br>not using a hunger mod that uses the Cobl Dinner Plate interface. If you are using such a <br><br>mod, the retrieve foods option will be available regardless of this setting.<br><br>---------<br>Changelog<br>---------<br><br>1.3 - Tweaked "retrieve foods" option again<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> - Updated scripts to use OBSE v18 functionality<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> - Added option to customize the ini file for different characters<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> - Ensured temp storage containers are player-owned, guaranteeing compatibility with <br><br>TheNiceOne's Enhanced Economy mod (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25078)<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> - 25 Oct 10<br>1.1 - Tweaked "retrieve foods" option on the ingredient sorter: inventory menu is <br><br>automatically closed because the Cobl script doesn't start when in menu mode.<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> - 12 Aug 09<br>1.0 - Initial release.<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> - Rewrite of my previous mod which only had an ingredient sorter (Alchemy Pouch, <br><br>released 20 Jun 09).<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> - 26 Jun 09<br><br>------------<br>Future Plans<br>------------<br><br>I have no other plans for the mod, unless someone would like to provide custom models, <br><br>textures, and icons for the three storage items.
