Added backpack integration for storage containers and station UIs, with paginated 3x3 panels and quick-move support.
Gameplay fixes
Added backpack ammo support for weapon reloads.
Fixed duplicate backpack unlockable registration.
Fixed unintended backpack disabling on player death.
1.0.8
IL2CPP hardware-store stability
Reworked IL2CPP backpack definition creation so PackRat no longer falls back to cloning arbitrary shop items when the safe template is unavailable.
Deferred safe backpack template creation until hardware-store integration time, when IL2CPP has a valid shop context to seed from if direct StorableItemDefinition instantiation is still unavailable.
Sanitized fallback template state before reuse and reduced repeated safe-template failure logs to a single actionable warning instead of console spam.
Release metadata
Bumped the mod version to 1.0.8 and restored Thunderstore-compatible semantic versioning in the packaged manifest.
1.0.7
Backpack definition and storage fixes
Added a safe backpack item template for IL2CPP fallback definition creation so backpack tier purchases no longer clone arbitrary hardware-store items.
Fixed backpack storage lookup to target PackRat's own StorageEntity instead of blindly taking the first storage component on the player.
Hardened legality checks to read legal status by reflection so both Mono and IL2CPP continue working across game API changes.
Fixed extended-slot growth to avoid registering the same storage slot twice, resolving the regression where the final backpack slots could mirror each other when items were moved.
Save/load and sizing fixes
Ensured the saved purchased backpack tier is applied before restoring saved contents.
Fixed slot growth so newly created backpack slots are actually appended to the underlying storage slot list.
Added equipped-backpack tier persistence so upgrades and downgrades save correctly and restore the active backpack size on the next load.
Compatibility
Added the new core assembly references required by the latest Schedule One update for both Mono and IL2CPP builds.
Split Mono and IL2CPP intermediate build output into separate obj folders so switching runtimes no longer contaminates restore/build state.
Runtime stability and multiplayer
Fixed host-to-client config sync parsing after the EnableSearch payload change so clients correctly receive host backpack settings again.
Added null-safety around shop/cart backpack checks and guarded backpack save-path lookups against missing player-data indices.
Cleaned up duplicate local PlayerBackpack components, improved slot clearing to prefer game-native clear methods, and removed the extra IL2CPP handover diagnostics while pruning stale handover panel cache state.
1.0.6
Game update compatibility
Updated Mono and IL2CPP references for the latest Schedule One game version, including the new ScheduleOne.Core / Il2CppScheduleOne.Core assembly split.
Removed hard dependency on game assemblies that are no longer present in newer installs so both runtimes compile cleanly against the current game files.
Adjusted cross-runtime item/core type handling to match the updated game API surface.
Backpack save/load fixes
Fixed backpack restore order so the purchased backpack tier and slot count are applied before backpack contents are deserialized.
Fixed larger backpacks only restoring the first 8 slots by ensuring restored item data loads into the correctly resized storage.
Applied the same pre-resize restore flow to host-synced multiplayer backpack snapshots.
Arrest and respawn stability
Removed backpack enable/disable lifecycle hooks tied to player arrest/exit flows to avoid respawn activation issues after arrest.
Fixed the post-arrest local player lockup where the game could leave the player unable to move after respawn.
1.0.5
Handover UI performance
Fixed severe handover UI lag when moving items from the backpack panel or player inventory by removing broad hierarchy-wide label scans.
Reduced repeated header reapply passes and limited backpack label updates to local storage-panel operations so handover paging and item movement remain responsive on both Mono and IL2CPP.
1.0.4
Multiplayer backpack sync
Added host-driven backpack state sync so clients request and receive the host-authoritative backpack snapshot in multiplayer sessions.
Added chunked backpack snapshot transfer and host-to-client backpack pull/response handling to keep larger backpack inventories synchronized reliably.
Non-host clients now skip local backpack persistence and instead load/apply the synchronized host state.
Added BackpackSyncDebugLogging configuration to enable verbose multiplayer backpack sync diagnostics when needed.
Runtime and UI robustness
Improved IL2CPP string assignment handling in reflection utilities so managed strings can be written safely to Il2CppSystem.String members.
Added supporting save/load and variable-database hooks required for multiplayer backpack synchronization.
Hardened backpack/player initialization paths so backpack components and synced state are attached/applied more reliably across runtime variants.
Documentation
Updated hosted README screenshots and project links for the 1.0.4 release.
1.0.3
Deal handover backpack panel
Added backpack storage integration to the deal handover UI with paged slot rendering for larger backpack tiers.
Added a vehicle/backpack view toggle under the pager; backpack view is default and toggle is only shown when vehicle storage is available within 20 meters.
Handover UI behavior and stability
Fixed item duplication regression introduced during early slot-initialization experiments.
Hardened handover panel lifecycle checks against stale/destroyed components to prevent open-time exceptions in IL2CPP.
Improved pager setup robustness for IL2CPP by recreating/repairing missing controls and guarding fragile component access paths.
Handover UI placement and visuals
Reworked pager layout anchoring so controls are placed beneath the backpack storage area.
Added a dedicated pager background element and aligned it with the pager controls.
1.0.1
IL2CPP Hardware Store fixes
Fixed IL2CPP backpack tier listing creation by using IL2CPP-safe TryCast and a template-clone fallback when creating StorableItemDefinition instances.
Improved Hardware Store integration flow to use game-native listing UI refresh methods and to avoid false "added" success logs.
Added targeted diagnostics for resource lookup and tier-listing pipeline failures to make IL2CPP troubleshooting actionable.
Backpack tier purchase and use (Hardware Store)
Backpack tiers are now purchased at the Hardware Store (both locations) with account funds; they no longer unlock automatically by rank.
After purchase, a backpack tier item appears in your inventory/hotbar (real StorableItemDefinition with tier icon). Select it and press B to consume it, apply that tier to your backpack, and open the backpack.
Added config options Tier{n}_Price (defaults: 25, 75, 150, 300, 500) for store prices.
Inventory UI is refreshed after consuming a backpack item so the hotbar slot updates immediately.
Already-purchased tiers no longer show in the Hardware Store: when adding listings we only add tiers the player has not yet purchased; when the player uses a backpack item (press B) we remove that tier and all lower tiers’s from all stores (each tier is an upgrade; buying Tactical Pack means only Hiking Backpack remains).
Removed / simplified
Removed patches that blocked the backpack item from being added or that cleaned it up in the background; the item is now a normal purchasable that you use with B.
Removed PlayerInventoryPatch and InventoryAddBlockPatch; removed OnEnable patch from ShopInterfacePatch. Purchase and payment are handled entirely by the game; our shop patch only adds tier listings and returns without running purchase logic for them.
1.0.0
Initial port of ScheduleOne-Backpack (v1.8.1) by D-Kay into the PackRat project structure
