K1 Marked Empty Containers

---

Description
Appends " (empty)" to the floating hover name of any container or lootable corpse that currently holds nothing. Now you can tell an empty footlocker from a full one at a glance without stopping to open it.
 

• Shows the moment you first see an initially-empty container.
• Updates live the instant you loot one empty, while you're still hovering over it.
• Covers lootable corpses too (KOTOR stores them as "Remains" containers)

Installation instructions
1. Copy these three files into your KOTOR folder, next to `swkotor.exe` (typically `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\swkotor\`):
  - MarkEmptyContainers.exe
  - Apply Container Patch.bat
  - Revert Container Patch.bat
2. Double-click `Apply Container Patch.bat`. It prints `SUCCESS` and makes a backup. Launch the game and enjoy.

Uninstallation instructions
1. Double-click `Revert Container Patch.bat`. This restores `swkotor.exe` exactly as it was (from the backup it made: `swkotor.exe.MarkEmpty.bak`).

Requirements
Requires the KOTOR Editable Executable mod to allow the patcher to work. https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1320-kotor-editable-executable/

You are on a roll, my friend.

I have a question about this one.

Does it work so that the appended text is not displayed for empty containers that the Player had not yet inspected?

I think that would be the ideal behavior.

Hey @Salk! It will correctly show whether the container is empty whether it's been previously opened or not. All you have to do is hover over it like you would to see the normal name.

But the problem is that it shouldn't show that it's empty if it's not been opened before.
