Items cannot be renamed in savegames AFAIK as their names are always taken from their root template, whose name is fixed.
That's right. But it is possible if you somehow familiar with the lstools.
I was able to do it by manipulating files in the Main.pak. Here is what I have done:
1. Create a new Backpack Template in Public\Main\RootTemplates\Loot.lsb
- search for the Backpack in the list (DisplayName is Backpack)
- clone the subtree of the whole "GameObjects"
- the clone appears on the bottom
- edit the MapKey of the clone (mine is 6c70c298-aa29-418f-a659-f8e0b5f5fa61) and the DisplayName
We now should have a new backpack with a new name but the same behaviour and stats as every other backpack.
2. Add the following lines to Public\Main\Stats\Generated\Data\Object.txt
new entry "CONT_Backpack_B"
type "Object"
using "_Generics"
data "Act part" "6"
data "Value" "5"
data "Weight" "1000"
data "InventoryTab" "Misc"
3. Link it with the .lsb in Public\Main\Stats\Generated\Links\Object.txt
object itemstat "CONT_Backpack_B","6c70c298-aa29-418f-a659-f8e0b5f5fa61","",0,0,"Junk",1,1,1,0,6,20
4. Add it to the players inventory.
The last step now is to give this backpack to a player. This can be done in the savegame file.
- search for your player ID under Characters -> CharacterFactory -> Party -> Players -> Character -> Handle
- note it down
- now comes the best part... search for the backpack item under Items -> ItemFactory -> Items
- every Item has a "owner" property, search for your ID and then look under "Stats" for "CONT_Backpack_A_SourceHunter"
- if you found the correct item, replace the "CurrentTemplate" and "OriginalTemplate" with the MapKey you created above
You should now have two backpacks with different names in your characters inventory.
Maybe someone out there could make it less difficult by writing an backpack editor using this technique.
