BackpackPermission

Your backpack, your rules. Choose which players may open the backpack, fannypack, jetpack or rocketpack on your back. Everyone else sees Locked and cannot take anything out, put anything in, or light your rocketpack. Default: nobody is allowed.

Features

• Per-player permissions right inside the backpack wheel. Drop your pack, open it and click the player rows. Each click toggles between Allowed and Locked while the wheel stays open.
• Native look. The panel is built from the game's own hotbar style and font.
• Allow everyone switch for when you trust the whole lobby.
• Unlock while passed out (on by default) so teammates can still grab that heart or energy drink when you are down.
• Remembers your friends. Permissions are stored by Steam ID and apply again next session.
• Host-side enforcement. If the host runs the mod, unauthorized pickups are denied even for players who do not have the mod installed.
• Vanilla behaviour for everyone else. Packs of players without the mod stay open, dropped packs on the ground stay open, and a dead player's pack drops as usual.

Multiplayer

The rule is shared as a Photon player property. Late joiners see it immediately. No custom RPCs are sent.

For the full experience every player in the lobby should install the mod.

Changelog

1.1.0

• Host mode. The host can switch the lobby to "Host decides" and assign every player to a team (A to D). Team mates may access each other's packs, unassigned players are locked for everyone. Individual permission lists are ignored while host mode is active and come back as soon as the host switches to "Individual".
• Four situations, one answer each. The panel now shows Worn pack, While passed out, Dropped pack and After death, each either My list or Everyone (individual) or Team only or Everyone (host mode). The former On/Off switches are part of these rows. Defaults keep a worn or dropped pack protected and leave passed-out and death drops open, so a run can still be rescued.
• Stash rollback. Stashing into a locked pack is now undone by the host: the pack is re-synced and the item lands on the ground next to the stasher. Works against players without the mod. Previously only taking could be denied host-side.
• The host tracks who dropped which pack and why, and shares it with the lobby. Protected packs on the ground show "Locked", cannot be opened, stashed into or picked up by locked players.
• Hotkey. F7 (configurable) opens the panel without a backpack, so hosts without a pack can manage teams and everyone can edit their list at any time.
• Team assignments are remembered by Steam ID.
• Non-hosts see a read-only overview of the teams in their panel.
• The lobby rule expires automatically when the host who set it leaves, so a new host without the mod does not keep stale teams alive.
