*** WARNING ***

*** THIS WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU PLAY THE GAME!!!! ***

Repair kits have always been odd.  Always using the same 2 items to repair anything just seemed wrong.  So here is a fix for that.  

Each kit will handle a certain type or group of Items.  Each type of repair kit is color coded and has an item icon in the corner as well so you can find the type you are looking for easier.

This modlet is server side friendly, so you can just drop it in and go.

Repair Kit Types:

Iron Repair Kit - this is just the current repair kit in the game.  Any non-vanilla items will still be repaired with this.

Steel Repair Kit - Repairs Steel Tools.

Motor Repair Kit - Repairs all tools that have a motor on them and the Generic Motor.

Pistol Repair Kit - Repairs the Pistol, Magnum 44, SMG, and Desert Vulture.

Shotgun Repair Kit - Repairs the Double Barrel, Pump, and Auto shotguns.

Rifle Repair Kit - Repairs the Hunting, Marksman, and Sniper rifles.

Machine Gun Repair Kit - Repairs the AK-47, Tactical AR, and M60.

Bow Repair Kit - Repairs the Wooden Bow, Compound Bow, Iron Crossbow, and Compound Crossbow.

Non-Metal Armor Repair Kit - Repairs cloth and leather armor.

Metal Armor Repair Kit - Repairs Iron and Steel Armor.

Military Armor Repair Kit - Repairs Military Armor.

A few items require JUST the parts of the item to be repaired.  Those are the Steel Sledge, Stun Baton, Steel Club, and Machete.  Those items just require the parts of that item to repair them.

I am looking for feedback on this from the community.  I am up for any suggestions if they make sense in the grand scheme of things.  For example, originally I had Corn Meal being used in the gun repair kit.  I know of a few people that use this in real life.  But if it gets any moisture in it, it turns to a gooey paste pretty quick.  And in the apocalypse, keeping that stuff dry in a repair kit would be impossible, so it is not in there (yet, and may not be in the future)

Recipe suggestions are welcome as well.  There will be some updates for sure, but this is a pretty good start on it.

Just away to try this on my server, love the idea of this... I have also felt that just 1 repair kit for all is a bit bland, I do hope this works well.

Thank you

EDIT: So far I really like this from what I see, I have noticed a steel fire axe can be repaired from a normal repair kit.

Also can a description and shorter name for each item to be added in?  

Thanks

I will check on the axe.  If you have shorter name Ideas, I am open to suggestions!  I struggled with that as well because of the length.

Also, currently vehicles are repaired with the normal repair kit.  I can't figure out where they are controlled.  It may be hard coded, but still looking and hoping to have them repaired with the Motor Repair Kit.

 
OK, found 3 items that don't repair with the correct repair kit.  And I don't know why (yet).

they are - Steel Fireaxe, Steel Spear, Steel Knuckles.

And I still don't know what or where to change what repairs a vehicle...  

Working on the Steel Items first, though.

 
Update to version 1.2.0.  

This is a bug fix for the Steel Fire Axe, Steel Spear, and Steel Knuckles.  All other Items checked and (pretty sure) they all work with the appropriate Repair Kit now.  Also, Item Names and Descriptions are added for ENGLISH via the localization.txt file.

Still working on Vehicles...

Zip file updated in first post.

As always.  Let me know if there is an issue.

 
BIG update coming for this mod for A19.  I did not know anyone was really using this, so I didn't update it for A19.  But have heard from someone who did some work on it, and contacted me.  update coming soon.

 
OK, The new update is out for A19!!!   This mod is being taken over by a new modder.  He really liked the original mod and idea.  He took it on his own to update and contacted me about it.  After seeing all the work he put into it, I gladly gave him ownership to continue updates.  It is really good work and he is working with other modders on it for maximum compatibility.

Link to new A19 version here:




 
I am working on this mod again.  New update out today for A19 and it will change the way you play the game.  You have to make sure you have the parts of the items you wish to repair to make the repair kit for that Item.

This version is still server side friendly.  Just drop in and go.

I found the issue with this.  I have it fixed.  There were a few others with the same issue.  Maybe 1 more still.  Need to test that item out.  Also updating the Localization.txt file so the descriptions are correct (in english, anyway).  But it is almost midnight here, and I have to get up at 5 in the morning.  Will finish all of this tomorrow and get a patch uploaded.

 
New version out.  Bug fix so the game does not crash.  This was because there were properties missing on some of the parts needed to be able to repair and item with just the parts for it.  Also added a bunch of ENGLISH descriptions to the localization.txt file to update the descriptions of items and what they are repaired with.

 
Howdy!  Localization file needs a lil tweaking.  I completely removed the steel pick axe because the description was IN the name of axe.  

Other part is missing name and Desc for steel tool repair kit.  I added in the one i'm using.
