Spare inventory slots and new inventory items

[roguetrooper 2]

There are 12 inventory slots for map, watch, radio and so on. Actually there are only 6 (?) items that can be put into these slots.

I suggest to add more non-weapon-inventory items to the game. Such as documents, data-CD, book.

They could be used as quest items (retrieving such an item from a body's inventory). Currently you have to use more or less complicated workarounds to simulate such items in the inventory. (And btw, A.I. recognizes the objects "documents" etc as solid objects, cannot walk across them, and refuses to move to these sheets of paper closer than 5 metres).

If there were regular inventory items of that kind, it would be much easier to create and observe "retrieve/loot"-tasks.

Such items are already in vanilla Arma2. They were used in Harvest Red campaign as evidence. I've already used them in several own missions and I've seen it in other peoples missions, too.

These can all be added to a units inventory with addItem command and checked with hasWeapon.

I hate custom addons. They clutter up the community and 100 servers have 101 different mod requirements. 99% of the servers in the MP list are red because of this stupid, exaggerated mod craze. What is so bad and insufficient about the pure original game (incl. BAF and PMC) ?

I suggest those things to be official.

1. Clayman wasn't writing about addons but Vanilla games.

2. I cannot play Vietnam or WW2 with the Vanilla games.

I wouldn't say I hate custom addons, but it is most certainly understandable the frustration of the average gamer to have to download dozens of custom addons just to play one single MP game online, most of which have little effect on gameplay.

I don't mind map-internal scripts that alter the default game(play) to whatever degree. But I loathe stuff that you additionally need to have to play a map or join a server :(

(Said by the way, not a direct response).
