FDDA Backpack QOL Improvement (4/13/23 Updated) addon

UPDATED FOR 2023 (STILL FUNCTIONS THE SAME MEANING THE BUGS ARE STILL PRESENT)

Player can now move and immediately see the inventory as soon as they open their backpack. There are two folders in the zip file, one for being able to only move when equipping the backpack and one for moving and immediately seeing the inventory (but at a cost which is bugs that you will have to avoid on your part).

Update 1: fixed bug for MOVE AND IMMEDIATE INVENTORY where inventory does not actually show up immediately

Update 2 (3/23): I saw comments saying the addon does not work with latest FDDA so I decided to update the mod.

Update 3 (4/23): Fixed faction backpacks not showing. Warning that IMMEDIATE INVENTORY may have a visual glitch that shows up for a millisecond when closing backpack. Only noticeable if you focus on the backpack.

Installation:

1. make sure FDDA is installed
2. drag gamedata of one of the folders into main stalker anomaly folder and overwrite
   1. should be compatible with every addon since the file is specifically for the backpack animation

One thing that still bothers me is that you will have to wait for the backpack opening animation to finish to back out of the inventory. There are two ways one can shorten the inventory close delay:

1. Skip the last couple frames of the opening animation through file configuration
   1. FDDA folder -> gamedata -> items -> ea_addon_backpack.ltx
   2. open with notepad and decrease tm value under [backpack_open]
      
      1. if i set tm from 1600 (default) to 100, player will skip 99% of the opening animation
      2. i recommend 1500
2. Speed up the backpack opening animation and match the sound with it through blender or maya.

All I did was comment out a few lines and move other lines from one function to another in a script file.

Bugs I found but don't know how to fix. The bugs are difficult to remove because of how FDDA is coded:

• (MINOR) when opening the inventory, you will see a sausage appear and vanish for a split second. I'm not fast enough to test if that sausage can be eaten or not
• (MINOR BUT AVOIDABLE) if the player presses the "escape" key during the backpack opening animation (to cancel looking at the inventory) and then tries to look at the inventory again, the player will equip the backpack but the inventory ui will not show.
  • avoidable by not pressing escape during backpack opening animation
  • quick fix is to simply press the inventory key again.
• (MAJOR BUT AVOIDABLE) if the player uses an item DIRECTLY FROM THE INVENTORY while the backpack opening animation is played, then the player will not be able to equip any weapon as if they have no arms and hands.
  • avoidable by waiting for the backpack animation to end before using an item from their inventory
  • fixable by reloading save
  • present only in MOVE AND IMMEDIATE INVENTORY
