Lockpicking Modlet

This wasn't a quick one. This took most of the night for me to get working. :)

This modlet adds a lockpick (using bone shiv model for now) to the game. It can be found (Nightstands, Medicine Cabinets, Kitchen Cabinets, Backpacks, Suitcases, Lockers, Filing Cabinets, Purses, Cash Registers) or crafted after purchasing level 2 of the Lockpicking perk. The lockpick is used by holding the right mouse button while hovering over a safe or door.

The perk reduces the amount of noise you make while lockpicking. Haven't found a way to increase speed yet, but I will continue to look into it. Lockpicks only work on NON-PLAYER CRAFTED doors (house doors and the blue commercial doors) and the 5 safes in the game. The lockpick is consumed on use, as that's currently the only way I can do it.

Download the zip file and unzip the KHLockpicks folder into your 7 Days to Die\Mods folder.

That's it! Have fun. :)

Also, it doesn't stack because A17 apparently doesn't let us have items without durability that the player can actually use on Mouse1 or Mouse2 (wasn't an issue in A16).

Keep it up Khaine already using you mods on my server lol

 
Important note.

You can't lockpick a damaged door or safe because we're hijacking the upgrade method. So if you get an error about needing forged iron, the block is probably damaged.

 
Got stacking lockpicks working!

This makes them like the used to be in A16 if you played anything like Valmod or War of the Walkers. :) I've set stack size to 20 as I figure that should be more than enough.

Already uploaded to github, so have fun!

 
This is a really nice idea and thank you very much for this mod.

But how I am supposed to use them? I can't lockpick any door (newest version is in use).

Hello, i can see and learn perk lockpicking, also i can see and craft and loot lockpick everywhere, but when i select lockpick and want to try unlock something console pops up with red warnings Nullreferenceexception:Object reference not set to an instance of an object .. and i can only exit the game. Some thoughts? :)

If there is damage on door or safe it wont work. If it's a player made item it wont work and will result in nres in console

 
It was ordinary safe in original map, and i used it immidiatly after i open that safe room, also tried it multiple times with same result

 
Alright, I'm gonna be very blunt here, so if I come across as harsh then it's not intentional.

If you're posting saying "I got NRE's" then I need the error. Telling me that doesn't help. I need to know exactly WHY it's giving an NRE, so you need to find your output_log. The problem with that is the game seems to like putting the output_log in different places depending on how you boot the game. For some people, it's in 7 Days to Die\7DaystoDie_Data and for others it's in %AppData%\LocalLow\The Fun Pimps\7 Days to Die.

I'll give it another test but it was working fine for me.

 
Been flying around navezgane for about 40 mins... tried lockpicks on about 6 different doors (reinforced and non-reinforced house doors and commercial doors), wall safe, desk safe and gun safe.

No NRE's on this end, they unlock and the safes provide loot. So I've no idea what the issue is.
