EDIT: as of 14/02/2023, the bug mentioned here is in the process of being fixed. If you applied our fix, you will need to undo the changes made when it comes out. Do this by uninstalling CE, deleting the patch manually if it still there, and reinstalling CE. Just a heads-up.




For all the people talking about the Combat Extended bugs: this mod is listed on the "Supported third-party mods" list on the CE github (https://github.com/CombatExtended-Continued/CombatExtended/blob/Development/SupportedThirdPartyMods.md). This means that the bug is on the CE end.

The specific problem, after some testing, appears to be that for reasons unknown to me, the "basepawn" type of the anthro race was changed on the 1.4 update, from "BasePawn" to "BaseAnthro". This breaks the inventory system, as CE core automatically patches the "BasePawn" and the "BasePawn" only, and the specific patch for this mod does not account for the change. This means that CE's special code for handling inventories (ammo and item bulk in particular) just flat out doesn't work. Thankfully this can be rectified in the patch easily. Here is a quick guide:


1: navigate to the anthro race CE patch .xml file (located at [steam directory]\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\2890901044\Patches\Anthro Race/Race_anthro.xml. MAKE A BACKUP IN CASE YOU SCREW UP. Open it using a text editor, i used notepad ++

2: Navigate to line 86 or 85, somewhere in that ballpark, create a blank line just above "/operations"

3: Copypaste in the following:

START PASTE

<li Class="PatchOperationReplace">
<xpath>*/ThingDef[@Name="BaseAnthro"]/inspectorTabs/li[.="ITab_Pawn_Gear"]</xpath>
<value>
<li>CombatExtended.ITab_Inventory</li>
</value>
</li>

<li Class="PatchOperationAdd">

<xpath>*/ThingDef[@Name="BaseAnthro"]/comps</xpath>
<value>
<li Class="CombatExtended.CompProperties_Inventory" />
</value>
</li>

END PASTE
(if you want to make it look prettier you can use tab presses to create indentations to match the other code; this isn't necessary for it to work)

4: save the file. Start the game, verify that anthro pawns have "bulk" and "weight" in their inventory tab. Try picking up ammo, reloading, all that ♥♥♥♥. It should work, but no guarantees. Note that any NPC anthro pawns (raiders, caravans) that are already on the map when you load will not have any ammo, as the game failed to spawn them earlier.

5: you're done!

Keep in mind that this is a temporary fix; the good people at the CE team are bound to notice sooner or later. Future updates may override this edit we just made, which may reintroduce the above bugs, or maybe not. Also, I'm not very good at code or modding. This may ♥♥♥♥ things up. Any changes made are easily reversible with the backup or deleting and redownloading of CE.
