Proper Switching & Auto Re-Equip Client Mod
It works when joining other servers or hosting your own DST server with caves.
For compatibility when hosting Don’t Starve Alone mod/cave-less worlds, it becomes a server mod that affects only the host.
Remember how many times your dark sword went to some slot you didn’t expect it to go to when switching to your cane? It usually happens when you’re switching between more than 2 items, like when your dark sword breaks and you equip another from a different slot (and many other cases). This mod attempts to solve both problems by automatically doing two things: re-equipping extra weapons when broken/out of ammo and correcting prevslots when needed (i.e. maintaining 2-2-2 as cane-darksword-cane). With this, equip switching will reliably make both items exchange places, instead of the unequipped sometimes going to slot 13 or somewhere on the left. I also limited this auto prevslot correction to the player’s inventory and backpack, so you wouldn’t accidentally leave your cane in a chest of tools for example.

I’m hoping Klei would notice and consider making this a default feature. Client mods have latency limitations, while prevslot correction would only need around 5 lines of code in the game’s inventory script.

v1.5 : Updated mod name+description & notes for Klei
v1.4 : Slingshot now auto-reloads +safeties from crash
-auto reload idea by M A X W E L L G A M I N G
*Possible crash in Cave-less servers/DS Alone mod when using Brightshade/Void items or dropping Spiders as Webber (but normal Don’t Starve Together servers have NO problems from my tests).
-The code is different for DS Alone mod/servers WITHOUT caves and I have yet to test.
