Absolutely necessary mod for any server!!! ty!

BRILLIANT MOD!! Thank you xx

is there a way i can override its default starting key, so players dont need to rebind it themselves? it uses the same key as expansion quests

i dont know exactly how or why but two times after using the search inventory mod its either crashed the server or corrupted a player after using it to either move an item find an item drop an item. Theres no crash logs server sided and none client sided but after removing it the player could load in fine and the server stopped crashing. Might be an interference i have no clue tho.

Doesn't display all items, in some clothes in weapon and knife slots it doesn't show

Am I stoopid or can I just sort by Location? I want to sort by itemname instead
is this possible?

every time i click on O its interfering with the vpp admin tool any way how to fix it?

@Dark Angll
Nope, it's not for admins (even though admins can use it for themselves). It's for everyone. It only shows what is on you. Nothing special, nothing hidden, nothing else except whatever is equipped on your own person.
It gives you an easier, more organized way to look for things, including a search bar so you don't have to sit there and scroll 15 minutes to find where the DayZ Gods decided to deposit that one item you looted.
If you hit the help button it will tell you the different functions (the screenshot in this page also shows those too).

Hopefully that helps.

This looks like an admin menu, I'm assuming it isn't but I figured I'd ask.
Is this for admins only?

@Not Cheating At All How do you override in the config.cpp?

@Ownkruid thats a simple override in the config.cpp

I think he means changing the default key server-side. I would like that aswell.

@TTV-Streetkilln
Yes, you can change the keybind to anything you want. The mod has its own tab under keybinds "SearchInventory". By default it's "O", but you can change it to whatever you like.

@Bearbaa
Yes, no problem and thanks :)

Amazing mod! May I use it on my monetized server?

is there a way i can set the default key for everyone a different key? mod uses same key as another/

are you able to make aoverride, or a stop for the dubble stacing in backpacks and sutch

si im having a weird issue and im trying to see whats causing it, when mu players get in a car they can no longer access their inventory and it started with 1.21 after i installed the search inventory mod but just trying to see if anyone else is having this issue? love the mod im just trying to troubleshoot

@Ownkruid
Sorry, I have tried to use automatic scaling as much as possible, but some aspects just look weird regardless on various resolutions and I don't want to keep pushing updates and playing wack-a-mole. I have personally tested for 480p, 1080p and 1440p resolutions. I don't have a 4k capability for testing.

@Elon's Musk
Yes, no problem go ahead

Can I use on a monetized server?

The UI is really small on my 4k screen. Is there a way to scale it?

It's not random, but you can't really select it either if there are multiple in the vicinity (You can try to move so there is only one or a couple) but DayZ decides which container is first based on a few things. Containers which were placed last will usually be first and if the game cannot figure that out, it will go alphabetically so Barrels will usually be before Trashcans, etc.
I played around with a few ways to select a container and they all ended up being either too complicated or not reliable enough.
After my last update the mod will skip any containers which are not "valid" (meaning the lids might be closed, or they don't have space, etc.) and will lock in the first "good" container it detects in your player's vicinity, but DayZ decides what goes first in the vicinity

well thx for that quick reply. One quick question can you select the container where the items go into? or is it random?

@Ragequit
Multi-select and transfer would be very tricky to pull off reliably for many reasons. I can take a look and see how close I can get.
In the meantime, if you filter at the top by the item you want and select the "move to container button" you can just keep right-clicking until all the items are moved (as long as there is space in the container) The list updates automatically when an item is moved.
Hopefully that helps

the mod is amazing, i would only ask for a little quality of life addition to be able to transfer multiple items (same item type) at once to a container

Thanks! A lot of people have asked for a tutorial video, so that's coming soon too

Awesome mod! Can't tell you how many times I've purchased something (or picked something up) and it is just "gone".... now, as a player.. I can just bring up SearchInventory and find the item in my hundreds of storage slots (or even hidden inside objects, inside objects).

It also helps take some of the burden off of admins when someone opens a ticket saying "I bought it, and the vendor didn't give it to me". I'm like: "Pull up Search Inventory and double check, I'm sure you'll find it (most of the time)...".

A++. Thanks a ton!

omg if i could give you 500 stars i would this mod is somethign dayz has needed like since day one

At this rate, you will create an inventory sorting)))

Amazing mod!
Players on my server can have up to 50,000 slots in their inventory. Finding anything in that inventory is impossible. This mod is a lifesaver for players and a huge time saver :)

No, sorry. No repacking allowed for this mod. I added a section above to clarify it.

can i repack this mod please for my server

oh I am not asking for your mod at all I was just checking it out and seen the conversation and thought maybe that is what I am doing wrong that my server keeps getting the types file erases because i wasn't putting mods in server instead of client. that's all I was trying to figure out

@tteett
I don't see how this mod as I have outlined above would be useful for admins.
This only scans your own inventory and helps you find things and potentially move items into containers easier. It's not my intention at all to lock this capability behind admin permissions. I have wanted something like this as a player forever and since nothing (that I could find) existed, I decided to write it.
The commonality with VPP Admin tools is the GUI look of this window and the preview pane(I used ItemManager as a template) , the internal logic of what this does is 95% different than what VPP Admin Tools does (mine is far far simpler than their wizardry).

My goal is for everyone on the server to use this to assist with inventory management, not just admins.

I think this sort of feature would be great addition to VPP tools

Ok thank you i am new at this and sometimes my types file keeps going back to original items and cant figure out why. Unless its from updates.

@Herb
There are server-side mods only and usually the mod/mod-maker will indicate if that's a servermod and they are installed differently by adding them to -serverMod= parameter (you may or may not see this depending on your hosting).
I assumed by Dyson's question that he was asking is this is a client-side mod only or if it also needed to be installed on the server, hence my answer.

Server-side only mods, usually don't let the player interact with them, they are either adding some mechanic to the game, or they are adding structures, events, some kind of server monitoring/logging, etc.

Any mod which has a menu and usually involved the players to interact with them are "normal" mods. The vast majority of mods in the workshop are "normal" mods unless otherwise specified.

Hope that answers your question

@SometimesHuman I was reading the comment you made about there is no client side only mods. I have a gtx server and it puts every mod in client unless I read directions to put it in both. Should I be putting these mods all in server then if says both put them in client section also if this makes sense I hope

Thank you for clarification!

@Dyson
No, this is a "normal" DayZ mod which means that it needs to be installed on the server and it will run on both the server and the client.
it needs to be included in the "-mod=" parameter of the server

There are no client-side only mods in DayZ.

is this a server-side mod?

@DaOne The layout, preview and organization of the window was used as a reference for this mod, but this isn't admin capability. This is meant to provide a (hopefully) quick and easier interface with your own inventory as in many modded servers with mods like Diesel, inventories get huge, scrolling becomes a significant part of gameplay and loot "where is waldo" becomes an unwanted mini-game.
I will add a proper introduction, vision and reason for this mod as I see it has caused a lot of confusion.
Also let me know if you want to discuss any concerns or feedback in private, I value your opinion.

great to see the community make use of the codebase of VPPAdminTools. My suggestion would be if you could make this a plugin for the admin tool rather than splitting the codebase. Perhaps an inventory scanner for admins to see what other players have :)

If you're looking for a sense:Tiny item sizes, huge item cargo sizes, container in container, lots of reason why the inventory can get messy and you just dont find something you need.
Awesome mod, have been looking for something like this for ages, great job!

And then what is the point of the mod if anyway everyone sees their loot anyway, but just differently ... if you did it so that the admin would see and only the admin, then there will be a gun, but so far 0 sense

why not just press tab

Hey there mate whats the intended use for this mod? i get it it shows your inventory i just cant see the reason for it. i run a dayz life server and would like some info in case its something i want to use

No, this mod is for everyone. It only displays your own inventory. It has no special permissions or powers.

I understand this mod for admins?
