Usage:
After 10-30sec upon first installing this mod, when you approach a dead or unconscious NPC, there will be additional buttons you can press, depending on what mod settings you have enabled...
-
[]"Strip" un-equips any worn items on the NPC for you to see in their inventory - does NOT loot / pickup anything.
[
]"Loot All" un-equips any worn items on the NPC and TRANSFERS ALL LOOT to your ship, selected party members, or the player - depending on your chosen mod settings from the Gameplay Options menu. Credits always get looted by the player.[]"Loot/Transfer" appears when targeting an unconscious NPC - this replaces the Pick-Pocketing mechanics for unconscious NPCs and will enable you to take any items in their inventory, along with their equipped hat, weapons, or backpack, without waking them up. Clothing and Armor remain equipped and not removable.
[]In zero-g areas - you just have to be moving quite slowly for the options to show. You may also need to look away, and back to your target for the buttons to update. This was done since the looting buttons could get in the way of zero-g traversal (moving up or down), even worse in zero-g combat.
