[REL/Beta] Sortomatic

Post » Tue Feb 01, 2011 8:43 pm

===============
Description:
===============
Foursome Tech. presents the Sortomatic 250 Adaptive Equipment Storage and Retrieval System.
Your one-stop resource for inventory management needs.
The system is flexible and can be installed in the smallest home to the largest warehouse.
With the Sortomatic system you will never lose your items, and they will be stored exactly
where *you* want them. The system will also manage the items on your person too; automatically
removing the surplus items and restocking your kit to your specifications.

===============
Wait Wot?:
===============
This is not a stand-alone mod. It is a resource for player-home designers.
There are some awesome player home designs out there that lack quality scripts.
I'm very comfortable scripting, but have the artistic talent of a dung beetle.

===============
Dependencies:
===============
This file requires NVSE.
If you don't already have it installed get it from

After the initial feedback, a few tweaks to make the system more useful for designers (more choice of suppled kit models) and also more intuative for users (menu changes).

The New Vegas shipments of the system are being snapped up. All Safehouses have the system installed curtesy of Gribbleshnibit8,
and I've donned my overalls and am currently installing the system in A World of Pain.

If you're a home designer whose eyes glaze over when you look at scripts, this system is for you. No scripting knowledge is required, it's simple plug-n-play.
If you're a talented scripter, well I just saved you a few months work. You'll look at this and think "That's the way I would have done it" :)

This is a great mod. Very useful. I was finally able to put a sorter into my custom home without having to make my own scripts and worry about figuring out how to support mod added items.

Also, I totally made those Safehouses, and I gotta say, it's the easiest system to set up. It took me (minus decision time and distractions) about 30 minutes of actual work to place everything, and about 2 hours overall. And that's because I had to move some things and decide how to rearrange to make everything work correctly. Plus a few navmesh edits which always take longer than you'd think they would. Also a few fancy bits of cosmetic work to make things look better than just 'stacked-box-of-crates'.

Overall, I would rate this about a 9 out of 10 as far as usefulness, and then, only because I have to place stuff myself XD. Otherwise, 10/10. Most useful resource out there.

To all you people who make tiny mods, or know enough to make your own home, use this for your sorting. It will save you a ton of time figuring things out yourself, and add a nice feature to your mod.

To all those modders who have made house mods with sorting systems in them: PLEASE, Seriously consider switching to this mod. Not only is it a consistent system to use across all mods, but it probably has more specific and even generalized options than you could ever implement yourself.

Plus, there's the fact that now, instead of trying to maintain a sorting system, you can spend more time working on making better looking mods and newer homes.

Also, check out http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=41238 for a great example of the system in an implemented environment.
