Core Features

• Custom Item Shapes: Go beyond 1x1 squares! Create 1x2 swords, 2x2 armors, or complex L/T-shapes.
• Item Rotation: Right-click or Shift to rotate items and optimize backpack space (Tarkov style!).
• Smart Auto-Sort: Perfectly pack the inventory with a single click.
• Expandable Backpacks: Create consumable items (like "Leather Pouch") that permanently add new rows to the grid!
• Direct Equipping: Click an item -> Hit "Equip" -> Choose a character. No menu diving needed.
• Epic Visuals: Rarity glows (Common to Legendary), custom high-res item graphics (no more tiny 32x32 limits!), and customizable tab filters.
• Deep Info Panel: Displays comprehensive details including full Traits (resists, speed) and Effects (healing, buffs).

️ Easy Setup (Notetags)
Setting up is incredibly easy via the item Notes box.

Code:

<GridSize: 2x3>        // Basic rectangular items
<StackLimit: 10>       // Max items per slot
<Rarity: 4>            // Epic rarity glow
<GridImage: BigSword>  // Uses a custom HD image instead of an icon
<BackpackExpansion: 2> // Consuming adds 2 rows to inventory

Use 1s (solid) and 0s (empty) to draw your shape. Example of an L-shaped key:

Code:

<GridShape>
1 0
1 0
1 1
</GridShape>
