LoadoutLockdown

Restrict (or unrestrict) equipping gear, both in and out of combat. Fully customizable.

Some example uses

• Allow equipping a fishing pole from your inventory.
• Disallow swapping armour and amulets during pvp combat.
• Forbid disliked weapons from being equipped.
• Limit how many hotbar slots can be used for weapons.
• Remove all vanilla restrictions, and menu-swap any gear during pvp.

Installation

• Install BepInEx.
• Install HookDOTS.
• Install VampireCommandFramework.
• Extract LoadoutLockdown.dll into (VRising folder)/BepInEx/plugins.

Configuration

Configuration files are created after the mod runs. Saved changes are automatically applied; no need to restart the server each time you edit something.

Main config

The following configuration settings are available in (VRisingFolder)/BepInEx/config/LoadoutLockdown.cfg.

• RulesetFilepath [default MyRuleset.jsonc]: The location of the ruleset file to use for configuration.
• LogRulings [default false]: When enabled, logs details about every ruling made. For debugging purposes.

Rulesets

There are 5 initial rulesets found in (VRisingFolder)/BepInEx/config/LoadoutLockdown/

• MyRuleset - The default ruleset used. Feel free to edit it.
• Example_Default - Default ruleset used to initially set up MyRuleset.
• Example_FishersFantasy - Mostly same behaviour as the vanilla game, but with fishing pole restrictions lifted.
• Example_CrutchersCrucible - "Bans" some overperforming crutch weapons. Imposes tradeoffs with weapon selection.
• Example_SweatlordsSwag - Lifts all restrictions. Menu-swap between 15 weapons and 3 amulets if you want.

Any filenames starting with Example_ are examples and will be overwritten. Don't change these; copy them to your own files.

In case you don't have LoadoutLockdown installed yet, and want to see what a ruleset looks like: CrutchersCrucible.jsonc

Explanation of rules

• RequiresHotbarSlot - If true, requires the gear to be in a valid hotbar slot to use it. Not relevant for things with a designated slot, such as a cape.
• FromMenuDuringPVP - Allowed values:
  • AllowSwapIntoWastedSlot - During pvp, the gear can only be inserted into an empty slot, or take the place of "junk" in the slot. (i.e. a non-weapon in a hotbar slot)
  • AllowSwapIntoFilledSlot - During pvp, the gear can be put into any slot regardless of what's already in it.
• Forbidden - If true, the gear can never be equipped.

Forbidden gear

A forbidden piece of gear is never allowed to be equipped.

Broad types of gear can be forbidden (for example, all slashers).
As well as specific gear pieces, like "The Thousand Storms".

A searchable list of prefabs (for identifying specific gear) can be found here.

If you do decide to forbid gear, I would recommend setting up some kind of exchange system to "cash in" unusable weapon drops from rifts.
Penumbra can help with this.

Weapon Slots

This is a little-known vanilla setting, which LoadoutLockdown overrides.
Slots in the action bar are counted from left to right. Equipping a weapon which doesnt sit in a valid slot is disallowed.

For example, with WeaponSlots set to 3, any weapons in slots [4, 5, 6, 7, 8] cannot be equipped. Weapons in the main inventory also cannot be equipped.

The RequiresHotbarSlot rule can be set to false to let a specific type of weapon (such as the fishing pole) bypass this restriction.

Wasted slots

An empty slot can always be filled from the menu. Junk items (e.g. a pinecone sitting in a weapon slot) can also be swapped out during PvP.
Forbidden weapons are considered to be junk items.

Prefabs can be added to the NotWaste list to prevent them from being swapped out via AllowSwapIntoWastedSlot.

If you would like specific items to always be moveable into their slot (e.g. soul shards), add their prefabs to the AlwaysAllowSwapIntoSlot list.

ApplyPvpMenuSwapRulesToPVE

ApplyPvpMenuSwapRulesToPVE can be enabled to make the FromMenuDuringPVP rules also apply during PVE combat.
