Using backpacks/rucksacks

[jonneymendoza 10]

i'l check it out thanks mate. whats the limit on the amount of items that can be carried in a backpack?

[Big Dawg KS 6]

Probably depends on the type, but all of the ones I've looked at were right around 10 slots.

1 mag = 1 slot

1 satchel/rocket = 2 slots

1 sidearm = ~4 slots

1 primary/secondary weapon = ~8 slots

There some cons in using a full backpack, besides losing the 2nd weapon slot?

??? :confused:

I don't get it, what's the issue? Seems like you were able to figure it out.

I think it's the 0:40 part with magazines.

So he had backpack full (12 slots, 7 stanags, 4 m203 grenades and one hand grenade) and then he tried to add more stuff to the backpack, making some of the stuff dissappear. You sure it didn't get dropped to the ground?

Just tested this myself. There ain't no bug, if you try to add something to the backpack that is already full then the stuff gets dropped all around you on the ground.

Yeah, also what confuses me is one time I got a completely separate view of my backpack items and I can't seem to replicate it.

If you open bag while in Ammo crate Gear menu you will see them as a separate view.

How can I reload an ammo to assembled machineguns and Mortars?

I can't even get ID names of these....

Is it possible to put Backpacks in vehicles?

I tried putting mortar and tripod bag in US MTVR but it doesn't work

I was able to put SPG-9 and Tripod bag to the SUV.

No, you're not supposed to be able to. But you might be able to because of a bug.

[nmdanny 22]

Oh i found how, i have to click Drop when the backpack is selected and not double click it

And i doubt it's a bug, in real life you can put stationary weapons and backpacks in vehicles too

the funny thing is, is that noone has yet to even mention how to get a backpack on your back in the first place...? I must me missing something...?

Look at the backpack and you'll get an action to the action menu. Can be kinda hard sometimes.

And what would be the point of that? You put your bags in the car when you are going to the journey in real life, so why wouldn't you be able to do the same in OA?

[CarlGustaffa 4]

No I think that issue only effects ammo crates. You can apparently put them in ammo crates due to a bug, but you shouldn't really be able to since both ammo crate and backpack are "containers". Vehicles have a special config entry that determines how many backpacks they can store, so that is obviously being a point to allow in the game.

What does UAVterminal pack stand for?

Is this just a eyecandy like mortar stryker?

I could managed to functionalize that pack with commands.

removeBackpack player;player addBackpack "US_UAV_Pack_EP1";
myUAVmodule synchronizeObjectsAdd [(unitBackpack player)]

but this commands applicable to any other packs.

UAV terminals can be any objects anyway, but i believe your backpack will lose it's UAV terminal property if dropped/equiped again.

Nope,Try it.

[muttly 10]

So we get an option to dissable the mortar and it puts it in a nice bag for us but how do you assemble it again.

[Jonn 10]

Anyone know the command line to add a Backpack (to a Unit) with satchel charges and some Ammo in it ?

I can add the backpack: this AddBackpack "US_Assault_Pack_EP1";

But I can't put items in it.

Thx

New commands, some still not documented, here:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Master85's_Sandbox#New_Commands

No commands for dealing with container contents, or even remove a backpack from a unit (without removing it from the world) and dropping it next to him (or any position), which would have been nice for HALO applications where original (not the "chute backpack") is readded to player on touchdown.

Sheeesh! ... I have tried I don't know howmany different variations of:

removeBackpack this;

this addBackpack "US_Patrol_Pack_EP1";

clearMagazineCargo this;

this addMagazineCargo ["20Rnd_762x51_B_SCAR",4];

this addMagazineCargo ["30Rnd_9x19_UZI_SD",1];

this addMagazineCargo ["HandGrenade_West",1];

What am I doing wrong? (I have been playing with this for hours.)

NUTSHELL... I am just trying to change the 'default' contents of backpacks.

[Jonn 10]

Ok i figured it out for the BIS Backpacks (It only works with BIS units): this AddBackpack "BackPack Name"; (unitBackpack this) addMagazineCargo ["Ammo Name",4];

Now I'm trying to figure out the ACE2 Backpack Script, I can add the ACE Backpack but I can't put ammo into it. If you guys know how to add ammo into the ACE backpacks please post it.
