OtherLoaderPatched

Introduction

OtherLoaderPatched is a full replacement for OtherLoader — if both are installed, it will take priority over the original. It fixes OtherLoader's long-standing bugs and makes it more future-proof, all while being fully backwards compatible with existing OtherLoader mods.

If you notice some mod is broken when using this mod, but worked fine with old OtherLoader, report it in this form or message me directly (@Sirdoggy) in the H3VR Homebrew discord server!

Differences from OtherLoader

• Modded categories now have their own dedicated spawner tab
  • This helps isolate them from the rest of the item spawner, which should make it less prone to breaking
  • Custom items can still appear in vanilla categories if they were configured that way
• Fixed white squares appearing in vanilla item spawner categories
• Fixed items from certain old mods (like Meats_ASh12) not being vaultable or not appearing in the spawner at all
• Fixed tags not working in item spawner tag view
• Fixed the portable item spawner stylus not working
• Fixed issues with items appearing as locked when they shouldn't be
• Fixed related vault files buttons not working on update 120
• Improved how items are ordered and grouped in the spawner, with customization options in the config
• Fully revamped the Unlockathon game mode!
  • Use the new in-game panel to toggle it on/off, manage profiles, and customize settings on the fly! It can be spawned via the wrist menu or the item spawner.
  • Certain categories of items can now be configured to always stay unlocked
  • Unlockathon progress from old OtherLoader can be imported
• Added "ItemUnlocker" to the config file and expanded its functionality
  • This is a tool you can use to unlock hidden weapons and reward items. It was already present in old OtherLoader but couldn't be accessed through the regular config file.
  • Added option to only unlock firearms and ammo, which won't unlock things like gun hats or melee weapons

Making custom items

The process of making items with OLP is the same as with old OtherLoader, however modders are encouraged to install the updated OtherLoader MeatKit tools package, available here: https://github.com/sirdoggy45/MeatKit_OtherLoaderPatched/releases

Existing OtherLoader guides are still relevant:

• devyndamonster's Custom Gun Series (covers the fundamentals, mostly up-to-date)
• H3VR Homebrew Discord Server - #tutorials-gallery
• H3VR Homebrew Discord Server - #other-mods (check pins)
