Hot Pockets 0.0.8

On the chances for Pickpocketing/Reverse categories on the 2nd page, they are typically weights, not percentages, so if you have multiple higher figures and one at a low figure it will be much much less likely to ever happen at all unless other categories are empty.

Currently only 1 set of "reverse" actions (DD+Chem-Alch Apply+Arousal+Tattoo) can happen per thief roll at most, what this means is you will get at most per-successful thief : one DD applied + one chem or booze applied + one Arousal bonus of 20 applied, plus whatever items they stole. Sometimes the script would be too fast for the engine and do multiple actions from the same category, its more "ok" for theft than applying effects in my eyes so this was the most reasonable method I could think of in the meantime other than making a sometimes slow/stuck process slower.

Sleep Ghosts Thieves leave a different note than NPC Theives.

Cum application is a sleep-only action and "costs" nothing to the thief.

Sleep ignores the standard activation settings and exclusively uses its own. 

Using the console or other methods, tagging an NPC with : " setav HP_NotEligible 1 " should make them ineligible to become a thief.  

If you have the "Extra action chance reducer" too low with a high maximum and higher minimum, you will more than likely experience issues/lag with the notifier as it tries to feed you all the information, it may be too low right now on the default settings for the notifier on 1. You may have better luck increasing the Bulk Multiplier instead.

The minimum and maximum budget are not real minimums and maximums, the NPC can take less if the category only has less to take and the last action can take a single item or stack worth infinitely more than any number you set, it exists more as a Budget-limiter, since sometimes you blow your budget, sometimes you're under budget. 

Everything in the Armour and Weapons categories are both are seen as 0-weight and both categories bypass the "0 weight protection" that the other categories get.

A flat figure also means your actual weapons can get stolen instead of endless pipe rifles, come on dude, what thief wants to take a pipe rifle or board when theres a legendary assault rifle fully modded with a custom paintjob are you serious.

"Equipped Protection" also includes the equipped weapon and grenade, so you could theoretically *stash* value in caltrops/armed gear or grenades as a cheat or super hardcore run.

I know it looks a little goofy with them sneaking directly at you, before this they were Sex-Harassment running at you at staring you in the face while they stole. At least they can go invisible now.

I hope the mod works well enough that I don't need to fix anything too soon (bottom of the first MCM page has a few little tools) and that you enjoy it.

K=Known P=Possible

New:

K: If you use any mod to change the default "sneak" animation, say to a crawl for example, the NPCs will also use that animation as well. This can change their movement behaviour as they may get stuck on things and the speed may be affected as well. You should probably increase their chance to go "invisible" to counteract the goofyness. 

K: Settlers in Settlements (typically anywhere that can be built in) will not actively move towards the player. This can also include some Caravan Guards. It may extend to any NPC that is "working". If you pass by one that has been assigned as a Thief, they will still be able to perform the actions. There may be a workaround to this in a later version. 

K: Theft is jank looking (the NPC just tries to get close then stares at you for a while) - put the invisible thieves chance higher up to counteract this.
K: Notifier latency/steal lag - only really happens with high budgets and lots of steals

K: AAF is not currently being detected by this mod so theres a fair chance you will be stolen from while in a scene or other effects, also NPCs may be selected to be a thief while in a scene meaning you wont get stolen from until that scene ends / a new thief is chosen (this actually happens semi often in Diamond City). I suggest setting up the hotkey in the MCM at the bottom of page 1 for a fast stop/start if you suspect this has happened.
K: The equipped effects from Zaz packs (like used in my other mod SAAH) will be counted as stealable like all other armour, this includes the covering hands equip, (my SAAH mod will re-equip it on-timer by default) but this mod will count that item piece toward the budget used (provided you have allowed the Thief to steal "equipped" items, by default equipped are protected, otherwise they will only be able to take it if it is unequipped).
K: Invisible thieves can be assigned, most wont do anything (theres one named bruce in the fens), some will steal (one in diamond city) - many in Bunker Hill (but those ones may just be underground) - may have been fixed in a previous patch/version

K: If you use Sex Harassment or other mods that will "take over" an NPC, this may steal the NPC, or the NPC may be stolen from this mod by that one at times. Will likely occur more often if you also use the extra included .esp for Sex Harassment as both have the same settings for choosing an NPC (timers should be different but may clash at times as well, both mods should be fine running at the same time typically aside from this)
P: Possibly not targeting every item available in game (should also get mod-items as-is)
P: Combat Strip Lite possibly may have script issues due to unequipped broken/damaged armour being stolen (I don't play damaged/broken armour, just unequip+timer mode and havent looked at this part of the script so I won't know, but it still is possible), this isnt un-fixable 
P: Combat itself may not snap the NPC out of their desire to grab that sweet booty
K: NPC with scripts that are meant to fire the first time you meet them will also happen, if they are a thief this may cause them to stick around to talk instead of being released. There are a lot of NPCs out there that do this especially in Diamond City. This isn't a huge issue, just annoying if your "thief" wants to sell your Meat or something.
P: NPCs will typically beeline toward you and there is no danger/threat awareness on their side so using it in hostile areas isnt a good idea, or maybe it is.
K: If you attempt to use a category from a mod that you dont have, you may break those rolls if they would have won (most of the reverse actions)
K: MCM always needs work
K: Probably heaps of other issues, I've never done anything like this before and this took longer than I had hoped

P: Tattoos after rape may not always apply a tattoo, may replace a tattoo, may use a random tattoo or tattoo over an existing one. 

P/K:If a quest item/actually important item gets stolen let me know so I can build a list of protected items, the current list is likely missing some things, only base-game+DLC items can be added, if you want to add to this list for a specific mod you will need to make a mod for this list or use robco patcher (maybe). 

K/P: I only play old-gen ( v1.10.163 ) so I have no idea if it works on newer versions.

-What about if you didnt need to only pickpocket or kill them to get your loot back?
     Maybe in the future this will be expanded on since it seems natural (or another mod/modder can do it) as of now the only thing is an option to tag the last thief who has your stuff, the rest is still in the inventory of the other thieves. 
-Guards stopping the thieves and bribing them to get your stuff back: really this just seems like far too much work since theres only like 30 NPCs in the biggest settlement and guards only exist there
-Of course all the issues I would like to fix at some point, a lot of it comes down to time + effort and neither is infinite.

-Considering making extension-mods to counter zero-dependency with other mods so its easier + more overall control, still intend to keep the core-mod free from requiring more than it already does which should hopefully be nothing, provided the user who has none sets all the sliders to 0 to help the inventory/roll searcher.

-Wow yes you can help me, thanks for asking. You can also make extensions and bug fixes and improvements and post them here, it's much better than me needing to do it alone plus you probably use mods that I don't or can do things I cannot. I'm not very skilled at quest-building or dialogues or AI routines any of that side so if someone who is wants to try build the "get your loot back" side of the mod, please do so. Or just make your own extension to this so it's wholly yours.

My personal take on adding new things is "if the player doesn't like it, can they just disable it/ignore it" which goes along side my "it's an optional mod so why limit the players options" thoughts.
