Password Protected Storage

Password Protected Storage

Tired of your friends “borrowing” your loot? Personal chest not enough? Want a stash only the people with the password can open?

This mod turns existing chests you list in the config into password-locked storage. No new furniture. No fancy asset pack. Just locks.

⚠️ Important

1. Do not use with Guild Structures — that mod already includes password storage. Use one, not both.
2. Does nothing until you add prefabs in the CFG. Empty lists = zero effect.
3. Does not add new storage. You pick existing prefab names (e.g. piece_chest_wood).

Optional tip: use WackyDatabase to clone a chest, then list only the clone — so normal chests stay normal and only your “vault” clones get passwords.

Features

• SHIFT+E — owner sets / changes / removes password (empty = remove)
• E — owner always opens; others enter the password once
• Grants stick on the piece (survive reconnect & server restart)
• While passworded: only the owner can de-hammer
• Hover shows Owner / Permitted (light green labels)
• Clear center messages (set / wrong password / access granted / remove denied)
• Dedicated + Steam listen-host friendly
• Prefab lists server-synced
• CFG live reload on host/server (edit + save, no restart)
• Optional World Edit Commands — readable PP_* fields in data dump

Install

1. Install on server and every client
2. Launch once → BepInEx/config/com.rdmods.passwordprotectedstorage.cfg
3. Fill Exact Names and/or Name Contains, save (or restart)

Controls

| Who | Action | |-----|--------| | Owner | SHIFT+E set/change/remove password | | Owner | E open anytime | | Others | E → enter password once | | Anyone | de-hammer freely if no password | | Non-owner | cannot de-hammer while passworded |

CFG Guide

File: BepInEx/config/com.rdmods.passwordprotectedstorage.cfg

| Setting | What it does | |---------|----------------| | Enabled | Master on/off | | Debug Logging | Extra log spam while testing — leave off normally | | Lock Configuration | Clients can’t override server settings (keep on) | | Exact Names | Exact prefab names, comma-separated — e.g. piece_chest_wood | | Name Contains | Match any prefab with that word — e.g. chest |

Prefab lists are server-synced. On a dedicated/listen host, edit + save the CFG and it reloads live — no restart needed.

Don’t know a prefab name? Place one, check the log, or start with a known name like piece_chest_wood.
