I'm so confused. Bags don't have less capacity and weight reduction. My school bag was 15 cap/75% reduction.

The mod wasn't working for me originally, however, once I put it lower on the load order. It worked just fine!

Thanks to EyWind for this patch.

@Mr. Moon [J521]

hey, ty for bug report, I think fanny packs was removed from G.E.A.R mod, so thats why the error

and what you did is the correct way to fix that :)
Mr. Moon [J521] 7 Feb, 2022 @ 12:22pm 
Hi, i had some errors with the GEAR patch. I got this:

LOG : General , 1644213497510> -----------------------------------------
STACK TRACE
-----------------------------------------
function: Adjust -- file: BackAdjustG.lua line # 3
function: BackAdjustG.lua -- file: BackAdjustG.lua line # 102

I "fixed" it removing the lines of code from fanny packs of gear. I don't know what it is due to.
Mr. Moon [J521] 2 Feb, 2022 @ 7:53pm 
Yeah, great mod! ohh what a shame, i hope that in the future that function can be added to the game.
EyWind  [author] 2 Feb, 2022 @ 3:08pm 
@Mr. Moon [J521]

yes smaller bags has more weight reduction and less penalty on movment speed, and vice versa
so you need to think what backpack to grab depends on if you are going to loot or explore

is it about backpack got dmged with time or by zeds? if yes, sadly i think it is not possible at the moment(atleast from from what i know), but i might be wrong
Mr. Moon [J521] 2 Feb, 2022 @ 1:51pm 
This mods looks nice! I always hated the fact that you throw small backpacks for bigger ones, each should be convenient in every situation like this mod.
A suggestion, will it be possible for the mod to also add the condition status of the backpacks?
So you have to find more backpacks and not just one will last you the rest of your life.
EyWind  [author] 18 Jan, 2022 @ 7:45am 
@Cyanetic

yes they will, but i think only on the NEW backpacks (those that will spawn in locations you did not visit yet)
EyWind  [author] 18 Jan, 2022 @ 7:43am 
@nigel

sorry for long answer

yes they do
smaller bags has more WR, and less penalty to run speed modifier, the bigger capacity of the bag the lower WR it has, and more run speed penalty.

scale according to what? to str or some skills of character? well any way im not sure about it, probably yes, but it would be much harder to implement that.

same here, it would much harder to implement that

as for example, in my previous comment i gave example on alice backpack, you can take a look at it

and yes, you are right, description should be more detaild and i will probably rewrite it in a while
Cyanetic 15 Jan, 2022 @ 3:59am 
Do the new stats only apply on a new game?
nigel 5 Jan, 2022 @ 7:00am 
Logically smaller bags are closer to the center of mass and therefor should provide more weight reduction.
The bag that has a strap to go around the waist/tummy will be able to provide a slight buff.
Gameplay wise, it would be interesting to have to choose between big and small bag, sometimes choosing small, when speed is required, sometimes big, when it's not.


Does this mod make it so that the smaller bags have more reduction?
Is it possible to make weight reduction scale during gameplay?
Is it possible to make the character slower based on the total weight of the bag during gameplay?


Perhaps you could provide some examples of the exact values this mod changes and the changes in it?
I would love to see that in the description.
MayRum  [author] 30 Dec, 2021 @ 5:46pm 
I think I was a bit rude, I had a bad morning, I apologize. As for "usable and convenient" it would be applied to what type of backpack I am going to use for each situation, for example, if I am going to do an exploration tour or if I am going to loot some things and I want to be quick because the area is not clean , I'm going to use the shool bag. But, if I am going to do activities on the base or if I am going to loot a clean area or with someone to take care of my back, I can use a duffle bag. Maybe the description should say "this mod forces you to use the backpacks in a more tactical way instead of just using the biggest backpack and op of the game and all the school bags go to the trash."
EyWind  [author] 30 Dec, 2021 @ 9:40am 
i would say convinient for ppl who does not like to carry half of the west point inside single backpack :)
and yes it is indeed nerf, for example vanilla alice pack with out organized trait had like 30 or so capacity and 90 weight reduction (honestly i dont remember vanilla stats but it should be more or less like this), and with this mod it will have 23 capacity and 58 weight reduction
Kuro 30 Dec, 2021 @ 9:09am 
This isn't really related to my opinion. Convenient is pretty much the opposite of making things harder, and by just reading the description sounds like you nerfed the capacity and weight reduction of all backpacks, my bad for not reading the comments tho.
I'm not hating on your mod tho, just wanted to know if it adds/changes something else, and it does :)
MayRum  [author] 30 Dec, 2021 @ 4:02am 
Too bad you don't see it like that :)
Kuro 30 Dec, 2021 @ 2:59am 
"Makes backpacks usable and convenient depending on the situation." Wut? What kind of "conveniences" this mod adds? From your description it nerfs the backpacks, which is fine for those who want it, but I see nothing related to making them "usable and convenient".
EyWind  [author] 14 Dec, 2021 @ 2:12pm 
@Kalmerious just confirmd, in b41.61 with only one mod Backpack Overhaul - Base(Vanilla), all working, no red erros, all backpacks as they suppose to be
Kalmerious 13 Dec, 2021 @ 4:29pm 
I'm not using Brita's, I was trying to use the vanilla bags version. I was getting the issue with any mod that had multiple options. I might just be dumb as well. lol
EyWind  [author] 13 Dec, 2021 @ 7:45am 
@Kalmerious are you sure that core mods like Brita's Armor Pack etc wroking on br41.60 with out this mod? if yes than what mods from the list are you using?
Kalmerious 13 Dec, 2021 @ 2:29am 
Any idea how to get this to work on the new B41 MP build? I get issues trying to boot a server up with this mod.
MayRum  [author] 20 Aug, 2021 @ 12:49pm 
Great for launching the patch! I'm not currently playing pz and less modding, but I think you did well to make the containers less op. If you want you can use part of the code of this mod.
EyWind  [author] 19 Aug, 2021 @ 1:10pm 
released a patch for REMOD. If you want to edit bags from it by yourself msg me.
EyWind  [author] 16 Aug, 2021 @ 12:03pm

In short, small backpacks have less capacity and greater weight reduction, large ones more capacity but less weight reduction.
Nerezza 30 May, 2021 @ 10:07pm 
I took a closer peek at the changes this mod makes and since I'm not the only one curious about it apparently, I figured I'd explain it in a bit more detail here:
The capacity reduction is focused on backpacks, for example the school bag and big hiking bag had their capacities reduced by 2 each (down to 12 and 20 respectively).
On the other hand, all duffel bags (since apparently there are 4 variants) had their capacity increased from 16 (iirc) to a whopping 28.
Aside from that, all bags had their weight reduction altered. The bigger bags had their weight reduction significantly nerfed, and the smaller bags had their weight reduction significantly buffed.
The best bag for weight reduction in this mod is satchels at 80 weight reduction. The second best is the school bag at 75 weight reduction. The big hiking bag has 65 weight reduction.

I'll keep it in mind, now I'm lazy.
xXBulletJusticeXx 18 Mar, 2021 @ 4:12pm 
Any chance you could add a discussion to this page that explains the stat changes in details?
MayRum  [author] 8 Nov, 2020 @ 6:02pm 
@Beastlymeat
fixed, thanks

Getting two error stack traces that are identical after activating your mod in the Choose Mods menu after clicking "new sandbox" Caused by: java.security.InvalidParameterException: Error: Capacity = 2.5 is not a valid parameter in item: Bag_FannyPackBack. Thought you should know
MayRum  [author] 23 Oct, 2020 @ 12:25pm 
@EyWind
I did use paw low loot until he was bullied and decided to do what he did. Due to how difficult it was to find their equipment, I had no intention of making a patch to modify them, also I consider that they were balanced.
Didn't know WPI added equipment, I'll take a look.
EyWind  [author] 23 Oct, 2020 @ 11:13am 
@MayRum no i didn't meant to add new ones, i used mod Paw Low loot(wich is disaooeared from workshop atm for some reason)) and WPI(WestPointIncident) mod that also include new(and cool looking) fanny packs with 12 kg capacity with out organized, and i assumed that you didn't modify them.
MayRum  [author] 23 Oct, 2020 @ 10:39am 
Update:
Satchels included.
MayRum  [author] 23 Oct, 2020 @ 10:38am 
@EyWind
You mean the fanny packs from the vanilla game? I already modified those, as for adding other objects, this mod does not have that intention. Only modify the vanilla backpacks and fanny packs and those of swatpack and G.E.A.R (the backpacks with attachments)
EyWind  [author] 23 Oct, 2020 @ 9:07am 
Hello, it would be nice for fannybags to be worked on! for example from WPI, Paw law loot(but i cant find it atm), Swat Pack etc!

have a nice day/night/morining!
Glitch 5 Sep, 2020 @ 5:10am 
@MayRum

Yes it works, thank you.
MayRum  [author] 4 Sep, 2020 @ 6:31pm 
@Beastlymeat
Done, you have to find a new SWAT mod backpack or use cheat menu, tell me if works.
Glitch 4 Sep, 2020 @ 3:24pm 
Hey, just wanted to inform you of a suggestion I have. I don't know if you play with relih's swat and riot pack, because I do and his police bag isn't included in your mod so it retains vanilla values.

Thinking maybe it would be pretty cool if you included his backpack compatibility for this mod as you did for gear?

Thanks.

Спасибо за перевод. Не понимаю: ´´Визуализации на персонаже НЕТ.´´
депай тварь 21 Jun, 2020 @ 2:14am 
Перевод описания к моду:

Делает рюкзаки качественными и удобными в зависимости от ситуации.

Попытка уравновесить рюкзаки. Этот мод просто уменьшает емкость рюкзаков, и когда больше емкости, они также имеют меньше снижение веса. Визуализации на персонаже НЕТ.
