Inventory Control

Inventory control offers 4 levels of  context dependent "time out"s ( lock out from menumode with player controls disabled ) to add a missing element of gameplay realism and challenge:

A) Potion, ingredient and enchanted item use time-outs

B) Equipment change during combat time-outs

C) Equipment change during combat disallowed [ only weapons and shields may be changed ]

D) Equipment change out of combat time outs and disallowed in combat

*disallowing changing rings under gloves/gauntlets, shirt under cuirass, cuirass under robe, etc.

Inventory controls levels A)-D) can be cycled through by holding down Shift-I(nventory)-C(ontrol) buttons for >1second to cycle through them:

Level 0: Disables the mod for vanilla behavior

Level 1: A) above

Level 2: A)+B) above

Level 3: A)+B)+C) above

Level 4: A)+B)+C)+D) above

The mod will default to Level 3 on first load.

Hold down the SHIFT-I-C key combination for ~1sec to cycle through Level 0-4 settings ("I" and "C" for Inventory Control)

Both menu mode and quick key item use and/or equiping are affected.

Next/Previous ready enchanted items are restricted to equipped items for Level >=2 (so you only cycle through equipped items)

The present release requires default key assignments:

"1"-"0" = Quick Keys (outside menu mode)

"-","=" = Next/Previous Ready Item (outside menu mode)

"[","]" = Next/Previous Weapon (outside menu mode)

space   = Activate, Pick Up (outside menu mode)

Left Mouse Button = Pick Up / Drop (menu mode)

Right Mouse Button = Enter/Exit Menu mode
