Equipment and Quick Slots

by RandyKnapp, rewritten by MidnightsFX

Version 3.0 is a complete rewrite.

Give equipped items their own dedicated inventory slots — Head, Chest, Legs, Shoulder, Utility

and Trinket — plus up to six hotkeyable quick slots.

  • Client-side installable; does not need to be on servers.

When the server does* run the mod (requires Jotunn),

the balance settings (slot toggles, quick slot count, keep-on-death) are server-synced and

admin-controlled.

  • Existing 2.x characters are migrated automatically on first login. Do not downgrade to 2.x

after saving under 3.0 — the automatic slot backup protects your items, but the old format is

not written anymore.

  • Quick slot hotkeys no longer trigger vanilla actions on the same key.
  • Optional extra utility slots (Equipment Slots / Utility Slot Count, 1–3, default 1): wear

more than one belt, Wishbone or Megingjord. Off by default and server-synced, because it is a

balance change. You can never wear two copies of the same item, and the extra items show on

your character for everyone.

  • Configurable keep-on-death and auto-equip-on-gravestone-pickup behavior.
  • Other mods can add custom slots through the API — see

docs/API.md.

Install with BepInEx:

copy EquipmentAndQuickSlots.dll into the BepInEx/plugins folder.

Console commands

  • eaqs_validate — revalidates the slots and relocates overlapping/out-of-grid items
  • eaqs_api — prints API version, endpoints and slot states
  • invcheck — prints the inventory grid contents
  • eaqs_restorebackup (cheat) — restores the automatic slot backup into free slots
  • breakequipment, dropall (cheat) — testing helpers

Compatibility

  • BetterUI works out of the box. While BetterUI's HUD editing is enabled (its default), BetterUI

positions the quick slot bar: move it with BetterUI's HUD edit key (F7 by default) and BetterUI

remembers where you put it. Quick Slots Anchor / Quick Slots Position in this mod's config only

decide where the bar starts. If the bar sits somewhere odd after updating from 3.0.0, press F7 and

drag it back, or reset BetterUI's uiData setting to none.

  • Better Archery works out of the box. Its quiver used to add two hidden rows to the player

inventory, which showed up as a block of empty cells under the inventory and could swallow items.

Its quiver is now hosted as three ammo-only slots in the equipment panel, keyed to Better

Archery's own hotkeys; everything else it does is untouched. Set

Compatibility / Better Archery quiver integration to false to switch its quiver off entirely

instead and use the quick slots for ammo.

  • Other slot mods — AzuExtendedPlayerInventory, ExtendedPlayerInventory, ExtraSlots, ComfyQuickSlots —

are declared incompatible; BepInEx will not load this mod next to them.

Notes

The following things WILL NOT BE ADDED OR CONSIDERED.

  • Player wardrobe features (instead use Advizes Armoire)
  • Slots which provide: dedicated arrow, or food slots, stat changes per slot (instead use Extra Slots)
  • 3D or otherwise interactable character model (use Azu Extended Inventory instead)

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
