Handcart - portable chest

Main

r1

This mod adds a usable handcart to the game - a chest that can carry all the loot you intent to sell later - and can be taken with you in your trips without affect you carry weight. It is located at Riverwood, a quest marker will show the location.

Current version: 2.06

Installation requires:

- SKSE http://store.steampowered.com/app/365720/ - SkyUI http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=8122&searchtext=skyui

If you installed the old version of Handcart on Steam, you must unsubscribe from it.

Features:

- Configurable shortcuts to fast-equip the best armor and weapons you have found; - Integrated barter menu showing your items together with the items stored in the handcart; - Integration with the crafting menu, the items in the handcart will be available to use as raw materials (except the potion and enchanting tables); (since 2.04)

- You can give the handcart to a follower (Alt+O), the handcart will behave as if it was you using it; (since 2.05) - The handcart can be used as "object", you can reach higher places by jumping on it;

- When looting a container, any new items you acquire when using the handcart will be transferred from your inventory to the handcart unless its a healing potion/food, unread books or a possible best armor/weapon (in this case they will stay in your inventory); - The amount of items that must be kept with you (potions/food/weapons/armor/etc) are configurable; (since 2.02)

- The handcart can be used as "skateboard" to go down the hills (I still can't make it turn left or right, but I'm working on it); - There is a shortcut to automatically move "unnecessary items" from your inventory to the handcart (Shift+U); - There is a shortcut to automatically move all items from the handcart to a container in front of you (Alt+U).

friend: Hey wellsantos, all this features are cool, but I don't like the fact I have to drag this chest with wheels all the time! wellsantos: So give the handcart to a follower, set the 'follower with handcart - confidence' configuration to 'avoid combat' and you'll never have to carry the handcart; (since 2.05)

friend: No way! I hate followers! wellsantos: All right, all right. Then go to the configurations and choose 'hide the handcart, but keep all functionality'. (since 2.06)

Instructions:

- To start the barter menu with a person in front of you, press "U"; - To store or retrieve an item from the handcart, press "O", a normal chest menu will open allowing you to take or store items;

- To carry the handcart with you, you just have to pick it up as any normal item; you can also press "O" to pick up the handcart if it is nearby; - Whenever you equip a weapon, the handcart will be dropped and you must pick it up again;

- Hold Alt while equipping a weapon to drop the handcart in front of you, instead of drop at your back; - Hold Shift while equipping a weapon to place the handcart in the ground, it will not move when touched, and you will be able to use it to reach higher places by jumping on it;

- To enter in skate mode you must jump on the top of the handcart; jump again to leave; - Cheat: press "Shift + O" to teleport and equip the handcart in yourself, no matter where it was.

When I say Alt or Shift, I mean the Alt/Shift in the left side of the keyboard, the ones in the right side are not mapped.

Compatibility:

- If you have installed any mod that adds animated armor/weapon, the handcart may become invisible when equipped. You can change the handcart "biped object" to 52 (or other value of your choice) in the configuration to prevent this behaviour; (since 2.04)
