New version is up:
http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35904

Name: Satchels 'n' Stuff
Author: Watto44
Version: 2.1

Full version requires NVSE: http://nvse.silverlock.org/
Lite version does not require the script extender.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: If you are using the full version and experiencing bugs with factions, they can be fixed by:

1) Download and install the new version and load your savegame.

2) MAKE SURE you aren't wearing ANY faction armor. To be absolutely sure, nvde up before continuing.

3) Activate the "< Scavenger's Field Kit >" and choose "Fix Faction Armor" OR scavenge a piece of faction armor.

4) Select "Reset"

5) Enjoy not getting slaughtered by your friends.

Note, you should only have to do this once. However, if you encounter problems and need to reset again, either: a) open the console and type in "set SCAVFactionReset to 0" then repeat steps 2-4, or B) disable "SCAV.esm" and "w44Satchels - Full.esp", load your game, save it. Then re-enable the esm and esp files, load your game and repeat steps 2-5. This option will strip you of all your scavved items.

Please let me know if you're still having issues.

IMPORTANT NOTE on upgrading from pre 2.0 versions:

1) Before installing the newest version, load your save, unequip any items added by Satchels, save and exit. If you do not do this you may be stuck with their equipped weight forever.

2) On updating you will loose all your current Satchels items. Use the bag in Doc Mitchels to reacquire them or get crafting. (For the full version, the cheat bag can be toggled on and off in the Satchels 'n' Stuff menu.

Description

The full version allows you to scavenge armor found in the mojave for scraps, and then use those scraps to craft the various pieces of apparel.

The lite version has all the armor pieces in a duffle bag inside Doc Mitchel's house in Goodsprings.

Feel free to post suggestions for more stuff to be added, with the name of the armor or NPC who was wearing it if possible.

2) Download and extract the satchels archive into your data folder.

Play Guide
===============

While some items can be purchased from vendors (Chet in Goodsprings, Michelle in 188 Trading Post, and Blake in the Crimson Caravan) and a few very rare pieces can be found in the wasteland, most items must either be crafted using the scavenging system (full version) or taken from the duffle bag in Doc Mitchel's house in Goodsprings (lite version).

To craft an item you must first scavenge ingredients from armor you have found or purchased. To scavenge a piece of armor, first equip it and then use the "< Scavenger's Field Kit >" located in the armor tab of your inventory. Following the instructions to scavenge that piece of armor, but note that not all armor can be scavenged.
WARNING: The armor will be destroyed in the scavenging process.

Different types of armor give different types of "scraps". The higher your repair skill, the more scraps you will get from scavenging.

The types of scraps you can obtain through scavenging are:
Scrap type (example armor type it can be obtained from)
Cloth Scraps (Field Hands Outfit)
Aramid Fabric Scraps (Merc Adventurers Outfit)
Silicon Carbide Plate (Combat Armor)
Heavy Tech Scraps (Power Armor)
Leather Scraps (Leather Armor)
Light Tech Scraps (Radiation Suit)
Metal Plate (Metal Armor)

Once you have the necessary ingredients, use a workbench to craft the armor piece you want. There is no repair requirement to craft these pieces, and all recipes are visible as soon as you install the mod.

A new version is up on nexus and I'm a big believer in shameless self-promotion.

Totally loving your stuff please please keep it coming

This is a great mod. Here's hoping for more stuff!

Love the mod so far. I won't beg for it, but a version of the Ranger Trench coat without sleeves would be spectacular.

I've uploaded a new version of the esp that changes the body slots used to be consistent with pintocat's tailor maid port.

Your wish is my command.

PS. New version is up.

Yes!! I'll drop you an endorsemant on NVN soon as i figure out how.

*Shameless promo plug*

iSatchels 2.0 - It's like Satchels, but with cheese.(1)

A new version is on its way, with a major overhaul of how items are obtained. Trying not to say too much until it's all ready, but I'm pretty chuffed with the changes so far.

And, because I can't help myself, here's a http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/images/35904-1-1289871591.jpg

Cheers, Watto.

(1) Don't worry if this makes no sense. You've probably got to be Australian.

2.0 is up (or will be shortly). Yay.

Cheers,
Watto.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I recently found a major bug in the SCAV module, relating to faction armor. I *believe* I've fixed it, and have uploaded an updated version of the esm.

See the nexus for details and download, and let me know if anyone's still having issues.

Bleh, managed to break the mod, fix the mod and then re-break it (a couple of times). I think it's all working as intended now, and a new version is up with some new items.

Cheers,
Watto.

edit. speeleng es harde.

Awesome!

Absolutely fantastic.

If I could make a small request though, could you make a version of that back bag minus the little satchel and the rope around the chest?

Thanks for making such a great piece of work!

There's a version without the satchel called Itinerant Worker Pack. It does still have the rope though.
