Hi. So I think I found the reason behind some people complaining about items going missing. This is what happened to me:
1) Tool belt showed a weight of around 120 units. I checked it to find that I had 77 "potion of the warrior"-s. So i took 55 of them out of the tool belt. These 55 did not show in my inventory and checking the inventory I had 22 of those potions remaining. (forget to recheck for the weight here, my bad) 2) Then I took out all the potions in my toolbelt. Turns out I had only one "potion of the warrior", which is probably the right amount. Then I used "Store all" option of the backpack again and this time the warrior potion had the correct amount and the backpack weighed only 76 units.
So I think sometimes the backpack counts incorrect amounts and encumbers the player according to those incorrect amounts but when you use the "Take all" option it gives you the correct amounts, because I do not believe I had 77 potions t begin with(I generally dont use potions and try to sell them off when I have more that 10 of a certain potion.)
Lastly thanks for the mod, I love the functionality. It increases the game's immersiveness by reducing the number of useless trips between questing to sell junk.
Note: I loaded a previous save and found the weight dropped from 120.5 to 83. This fits the weight difference corresponding to the 76 extra warrior potions (38 extra weight) and maybe 1 potion that got sorted later(or maybe it did not count the weight of the actual 1 warrior potion). I saved just before doing this so let me know if you want to experiment on it.
AHA, thank you for the diagnosis. I was aware of this bug when using the RemoveItem script command with a keyword parameter, but had not encountered it when using a formlist. It's caused by fact that the player actually starts the game with certain items by default which are then removed by script, reducing the item count for those to negative numbers. I believe it should only happen once. Once the potions have been removed from and then put back into the player's inventory they should be counted correctly.
I think what the person means below is about items going missing out of inventory with bag on, first off in mine anyways, I do not have the first menu as shown in picture of, open, weight configure ect, but it starts out on the second menue as s pictured, it works great for the crafting that I Love, but it seems that all my ingredients disappears and I'm not able to plant cause when I try my inventory is empty from 40 plus on each item( I have a mod for that lol) I have tried this several times by rebuying the ingredients n then try planting again and again it shows no plantable inventory or nay ingredients inventory at all, , not sure about potions as have not gone that far in game yet, but so far crafting materials stay and I have not lost any weapons or books, but I had to unequipe the bag for now as got frustrated loosing all my ingredients, they do however return to my inventory once I unequipe, but this go around I only had a few so not sure if I was loaded for bear if unequiping bag would return my inventory ( I do have a mod for ingredients but I still have to buy them, so until you can comment I will leave it up equiped as I want this mod!!!!!! and I'm trying this play through to NOT delete mods n screw up this game as prior ones lol ) thank you, I b okay if this mod just held crafting items for forge only lol as that's were the most weight is anyways ..... Keep up the great work n I will look for a response to find a solution to the missing ingredients and missing start menus as again pictured above, it just shows my name not the weight and I am unsure if on first menu if u had different config than on the send n last thanks ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
********** ( correction it did eat all my ingredients n plantable food items, i just tried with 40 of each bag equiped, no inventory shown, bag uneunequiped items now missing ..gone, so again I will leave it I unequipped till this can b resolved in mean time if I need to use for smithing I will stick all my stuff in a barrel or chest before equipping it , just n FYI to look out for others , only try with limited ingredients case you have same issue as me, hate for you to loose all your hard work, as again myne was a merchant mod where I got myne, lol )
So when you open the crafting container it is empty? Or just the ingredients are missing? I've been using this mod for years and it has been available for Skyrim legacy for almost as long and nobody has ever complained about this.
For the record, the bug you are describing makes no sense. There is absolutely no reason that ingredients would be treated any differently from other crafting materials, as they are all handled by exactly the same script. As for the sort menu not appearing, I don't know what to say. It works on my end. If anybody else is having problems and can describe CLEARLY exactly what you are seeing, please do and I will look into it.
yes , my ingredient folder is empty in the bag tho i have ingredients in my list prior to adding the bag.. but when i have the bag on the ingredients disappear, gone, not in bag and no longer in my file under ingredients, i have tested this several times...
1.. no bag, ingredients in inventory
2. add this mod, bag equipped, said ingredients from before bag on, no longer in my inventory at all.. gone...
But you said that when you go to brew potions or when you disable the mod, the ingredients reappear? That's the part that makes no sense. If the ingredients are simply gone, how does the mod know what ingredients you should have when you start crafting? It is impossible.
I have tested it several times myself and ingredients appear to be transferred to the workshop bag exactly the same as every other crafting ingredient.
I am not new to mods and even created 1 myself and helped alpha - beta test mods for other dev's.
I like the concept of your mod, except that it's too convoluted. It's hard to find stuff - it's easy to loose stuff and finally I just had to remove the mod.
Again, a great concept - but it needs to be much more ' user friendly '. This is not ' user friendly '.
The only way I found I could get my stuff back was simply remove the mod.
I am pretty sure that is not what you want for the player's experience to be?

I am happy to help if you would like?

I'll re-post shortly as I'm going out the door shortly. Again, I apologize, I am not sure what happened to my post, but some lines are indeed M.I.A.

You might want to put how the pack is gotten at the TOP of your description page and BOLD.
Reason, I had to come back and re-read how it is gotten.
Just a thought.
