A modern alternative to Roblox's default backpack. Satchel aims to be more customizable and easier to use than the default backpack while still having a "vanilla" feel.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using UIScale inside Backpack to scale Satchel's UI. This works but extremely poorly.

Numerous tooltip-related issues with in-experience translation

Contact Details

https://devforum.roblox.com/u/winnerstakesall

What happened?

They are many issues with in-experience translation and tooltips. This is probably due to how some translation scripts are not made for RobloxGui and CoreGui only.

• Some tooltips are not translated at all.
  

• Some tooltips will not correctly size with translations
  

• Translated tooltips are not searchable.
  
  
  

Excerpt from GameTranslator.lua

-- This is meant for translating user game text that appears under CoreGui.
-- It uses Player.LocaleId and the LocalizationTables under LocalizationService.
-- This includes team names, score names, tool names, and notification toasts.
-- DO NOT USE THIS TO TRANSLATE ROBLOX TEXT IN ROBLOX GUIS!!!
-- Text from Roblox in Roblox guis should use LocalizationService.RobloxLocaleId
-- and the CoreScriptLocalization table, NOT user tables with the game locale ID.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open settings in an experience with translations enabled.
2. Change experience language to any other language.

Remove usage of the Draggable property

Is your feature request related to a problem?

The Draggable property has been deprecated for years and shouldn't be really used, yet the code still uses it, which gives me a clue that it won't work in roblox anytime in the future

Describe the solution you'd like

It would've been better if it uses this module due to the fact that the Draggable property is deprecated

Controller Item Selection Doesn't Work on Playstation with R1/L1

Description

Bug with R1/L1 selection of tool in the demo place, it tools are preloaded in the hotbar and you try to navigate through the hotbar, nothing happens, only when you have put everything into the inventory and transfer the tool from the inventory onto the hotbar does it work. Hope you figure out what causes this. I have tested on playstation

(L1 / R1 ) Are the left and right bumpers on the playstation controller

Expected behavior

I expect R1/L1 tool navigation to work with controller on console even if tools have been preloaded.

Actual behavior

Cannot navigate through hotbar when tools are already there. i.e preloaded or have been inside startergear. However tool navigation on controller works when you put all tools in inventory and transfer them back to hotbar.

Steps to reproduce

1. Join demo place (the playground)
2. without opening inventory press r1/l1, try selecting tool, navigating through hotbar
3. put all hotbar tool in inventory
4. put some tools from inventory back to hotbar
5. should be working now

Relevant log output

No response

Other details

This is quite an annoying bug and I hope this will be fixed as many controller/console players will experience this bug.

When you transfer it all to inventory and back to hotbar it is a temporary fix, as soon as you die/reset, you are unable to navigate through hotbar again until you repeat the process of transferring hotbar tools to inventory and back to hotbar.

GetCore: TopbarEnabled has not been registered by the CoreScripts

Description

This bug states that TopbarEnabled doesn't work when you try to put it to `

What was expected?

I expect that it should use TopbarEnabled to make it work fine

What actually happened?

It failed to use TopbarEnabled and ended up putting an error

Steps to reproduce

1. Start a game
2. Check the output

Relevant log output

12:38:20.262  GetCore: TopbarEnabled has not been registered by the CoreScripts  -  Client - SatchelScript:1416
  12:38:20.262  Stack Begin  -  Studio
  12:38:20.262  Script 'Players.VSCPlays.PlayerScripts.Satchel.SatchelScript', Line 1416 - function OnIconChanged  -  Studio - SatchelScript:1416
  12:38:20.262  Script 'Players.VSCPlays.PlayerScripts.Satchel.SatchelScript', Line 2031  -  Studio - SatchelScript:2031
  12:38:20.262  Stack End  -  Studio

Other details

This is the code

local function OnIconChanged(enabled: boolean): ()
	-- Check for enabling/disabling the whole thing
	enabled = enabled and StarterGui:GetCore("TopbarEnabled") -- the error part
	InventoryIcon:setEnabled(enabled and not GuiService.MenuIsOpen)
	WholeThingEnabled = enabled
	MainFrame.Visible = enabled

	-- Eat/Release hotkeys (Doesn't affect UserInputService)
	-- for _, keyString in pairs(HotkeyStrings) do
	-- 	if enabled then
	-- 		GuiService:AddKey(keyString)
	-- 	else
	-- 		GuiService:RemoveKey(keyString)
	-- 	end
	-- end

	if enabled then
		if FullHotbarSlots >= 1 then
			bindBackpackHotbarAction()
		end
	else
		unbindBackpackHotbarAction()
	end
end

A fix is to place StarterGui:GetCore("TopbarEnabled") in a pcall()
