Cannot Open Backpacks with Controller

[stevengdev]

Hi There! I love this mod in theory, but I play with controller for physical reasons and am encountering an issue. I believe the cause is that the item type for backpack is "tool", for which the A key is "equip" but containers seem to be "chest" type, for which the A key is open. When I hover over the backpack with my mouse, I see the prompt to press E to open the backpack which works beautifully, I can equip and open backpacks no problem. When I try to use them with the controller however, I get a prompt like below:

The image above was reproduced with only Bepinex and Backpacks running. I disabled all other mods to ensure there was not an interaction. This appears to be a prompt to press A, however, doing so merely picks up the item like I would expect (just like left-clicking it would). When I press the X button, I either equip or unequip the backpack, as I would expect with other "tool"/"clothing" type items. There doesn't appear to be a button combination to accomplish this. If I had to, I'd gladly choose function over form and change X to open, rather than equip. The designs are really nice for this backpack and the addon mods that use it.

Hoping you can suggest a good solution. THANKS!

I just found this mod and I'm actually running into an issue like this as well. I'm using an Xbox One controller. But I am getting the "press the interact button to open" option for the backpack. But it just unequips the backpack. I can press "E" on the keyboard and it works just fine. But I'm having issues with opening the backpack with controller use. I am using the "Console Version 2" option for the in-game controller support. I'm not sure if that'll help any or not though.

Below I've added a Gif to show what I mean.

Is there a way to just have the backpack open up it's storage space, when we open our inventory?

Part of the issues with the controller is what you have the interact button set to. If it's A on the xbox controller, then when you try to move stuff in your inventory it makes the backpack's inventory blink as if closing and opening again, making it impossible to move items around in the backpack. If it's set to X, then it tried to equip/unequip the backpack instead of trying to open it. I think it also causes issues with moving stuff around but I don't really use that layout. Incidentally, if you select the backpack with your controller and try to open it with E on the keyboard then it also won't open the backpack unless you move the mouse first. Only thing I can recommend for the backpack for controller right now is just using it for random items and not use it to carry stuff like tools, food, or mead/potions.
