Remove bugged items from inventory

Postby Eurosnob » Mon May 05, 2014 12:21 pm

I have a non-quest item that is stuck in my inventory. I can only move it to and from my belt as there is no 'drop' option when it is in the backpack.

Is it possible to get rid of it some how?

Its bugged, like you say. There is no way to drop objects that are used for missions. Nor sleepbags.

It's a stack of artifacts. Is it possible to edit a file somewhere. The game must record inventory contents somehow right?

It's not quite the same thing, but in "gamedata\config\misc\items\" you'll find various *.ltx files that contain info about the items in the game. For example, "sleeping_bag" is located in "devices.ltx".

For items that you can't drop, their entries will contain the following line:
Code: Select all
quest_item                     = true
Changing "true" to "false" will allow the item to be dropped. Note that you can potentially break your game by doing this, so I don't recommend it.

My preferred solution is to set the weight to 0 instead. Any item with a weight will have a line like:
Code: Select all
inv_weight                     = 0.5
I just change the value to 0.0 for undroppable items. That way, you don't accidentally break anything if an item turns out to have a purpose after all.

Awesome, thanks for that workaround. All these documents, sleeping bags, quest items, etc. taking up precious KG and that can't be dropped or stored somewhere else was bothering me!
