Thread Locker

- Introduction -

This mod locks down what items can be used through the wardrobe unless it accessed through the in-game wardrobes in apartments etc.

Basically: if you have it in your inventory, you can wear it. If you open a wardrobe through an in-game interaction you can put on anything that is in your stash or in your inventory. If not available, the equip will be reverted.

Worn items will be placed in inventory and locked from further interaction until you un-equip them.

TL;DR: Helps with the outfit swap addictions! ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ

- Options -

Thread Locker is configured in the in-game popup from the Redscript Config Framework - press its hotkey (F8 by default) and pick Thread Locker from the list. One tab, two sections.

General

Mod Enabled: Toggle. Default ON.

The whole system, on or off.

Show Status Text: Toggle. Default ON.

Show the 'Wardrobe: Full Access / Restricted' text overlay in the inventory screen.

Stash Protection: Toggle. Default ON.

Apply real quest tags to locked items while the stash UI is open, preventing transfers. Tags are removed when stash closes.

At a physical wardrobe, switch EquipmentEx to Inventory+Stash. Elsewhere, snap back to Inventory only.

Debug Logging: Toggle. Default OFF.

Print debug logs to gamelog.log. Can be viewed in-game via CET.

- API -

Other mods can talk to Thread Locker if they need to coordinate around the whitelist. The canonical use case is a mod that destroys clothing items (Chrome Plating does this for damaged armor) - it calls ReleaseItem before destroying the item so TL doesn't keep a stale entry on the whitelist or leave the engine's Quest tag stuck on the item record.

import ThreadLocker.*

// Singleton accessor - returns null if TL isn't installed/loaded yet

let tl: ref<ThreadLockerSystem> = ThreadLockerSystem. Get(game);

if !IsDefined(tl) { return; }

tl. IsEnabled()              -> Bool   // mod on AND session active (post-main-menu)

tl. IsItemLocked(itemTDBID)  -> Bool   // is this item currently on the carried-items whitelist

tl. IsAtPhysicalWardrobe()   -> Bool   // V is at a wardrobe right now (full access mode)

tl. ReleaseItem(itemTDBID)   -> Void   // remove from whitelist + strip any active Quest tag

// call this before destroying a worn item

Calls are safe to make
