Appropriating Keys & Treasures

[Mister-Curious]

Key & Treasure Item appropriation

I think a handy feature would be to have an .ini file that would allow users to chose which keys & treasures are present in their inventory. Normally we can do this with Raz0r's trainer, but there are several reasons why I try to avoid using his trainer (especially when testing). The .ini file could be placed a folder, something like \Bin32\re4_tweaks\item_overrides folder with a file name like items.ini.

An example of the config could include a list of all available items and then an area to activate them:

I think it would be too much work to try and implement support for weapons & ammo as there is all kinds of positional data that would need to be taken into account for the space that each of those things occupy in the case, whereas with key items & treasures you can have multiples of the same thing, and the game simply organizes them from left to right without limitation.

Not sure how the game would update the inventory after certain item use. Maybe a setting in the .ini file to toggle 'keep items after use' could be an option.
