Summary
One primary, launcher OR drone controller, and pistol. Realistic Combat Drones compatibility.
Description
Version 0.1.2: the drone controller is hidden while stowed on a character, visible when held, and visible when dropped. A small controller-only visibility component leaves rifles and ordinary launchers unchanged.
Validation: 13 offline native-client checks passed, covering insertion, hidden stow, animated draw and visible held controller, switching back to a visible rifle, hidden re-stow, and visible ground drop. Checks measure native selection/inventory state and entity rendering flags; multiplayer proxy rendering and user visual acceptance remain pending.
CTF 226 - Primary Launcher Pistol
Slot 1: one primary weapon.
Slot 2: one launcher OR the Realistic Combat Drones controller.
Slot 3: pistol.
Version 0.1.1 fixes the controller being rejected from slot 2 with Realistic Drones Wgt Bat Fix. That addon assigns the controller to the pistol slot. Explicit dependencies now ensure this slot patch loads after both drone compatibility patches.
Required: Realistic Combat Drones (65AD60E204191D37), CTF 226 Drones ControllerOnly (D82B763C941AE5F0), and Realistic Drones Wgt Bat Fix (69E4282BF8198FB1). Load on server and clients. Controller Only supplies no-goggles operation.
The launcher and controller compete for slot 2. A second rifle cannot occupy slot 2. Backpack/container capacity is unchanged. Use instead of Integrity Launcher Only Slot (68E166F4B5978A07). Custom characters/weapons or other mods overriding slot fields need compatibility testing. Update old loadouts that put a rifle in slot 2.
Three minimal native prefab overrides. No models, animations or flight systems are replaced.
Validation: Workbench build passed on 1.8.0.13. With both published drone compatibility dependencies loaded, the original controller reported launcher slot type; an actual native insertion into slot 2 succeeded, and its parent slot remained correct after two seconds. Native rifle, pistol and launcher restrictions were also checked. This is offline inventory validation; dedicated-server multiplayer, save/restore, respawn/JIP and piloted flight remain pending. Unlisted development release.
