Magic carpet for console

nebula3832 · September 20

Hi all wandering if the magic carpet addon on pc will be made available for consoles would be great feature for easier housing construction

I doubt it can be done as console addons got limitations in memory and control creation (= memory consumption), as well as runtime of addon data etc.
As Magic Carpet seeems to crete many controls automatically I really fear it would fall below that restrictions and make the total addons unload then on your console.

Magic carpet as a standalone add-on does not create many controls. So it should be able to be ported somewhat easily. Essential housing tools also iirc contains the magic carpet functionality, and that add-on is enormous, it's absolutely never gonna be on console.

Ah okay, I thought that Magic Carpet addon was mass-creating the controls why you are jumping around.

Addon description also says so

If you have the required furniture items in your home, inventory or bank, Magic Carpet will automatically assemble your "carpet" - or, if not, just grab the required items shown for any of the modes and try again. There are a number of low cost options including a single "Rough Planks, Wide" item or a selection of the "High Elf" carpets that can be used to get started quickly.

Once your Magic Carpet is started, just jump in the air and move about. Your Magic Carpet will keep you afloat and allow you to quickly and easily get anywhere in your home - no building necessary.

Here is an example video which demonstrates the control creation and repositioning etc.

My assumption was that is goind to be a problem on console.

That is a furnishing item, not a control, and it's also just moving it. So no control is created, displayed, or moved.

Afaik there aren't any additional add-on console restrictions around moving furniture around.

Console is limited to UI mods only so while you can manipulate inputs for crafting and make changes to the hid your not going to get things like magic carpet, if you could it wouldn't be long until we have fly mounts too on console

This is incorrect, magic carpet is a UI addon on PC, and thus it is possible to port to console. It would just depend on the developer having the time to port it.

All addons are UI addons, but they can usually interact with the game in unique ways due to the API (allowing stuff like moving furnishings)

The PC addon magic carpet only moves a furnishing below your feet every x ms, giving the ability to float in the air while building in a house.
