[Unofficial] Bigger Backpack Patch for Starvation Mod

This is absolutely killing me. I have a sneaky suspicion they aren't to give you permission. I just took a look at stallionsden mod to see if maybe I could figure this out...... lol , nope. My hats off to you guys who can do this sort of thing . Looking over stallionsden instructions is like staring at a tablet of ancient sand script

Haha lol yeh it takes a bit to understand. But the info there has been a cumulative list from several people to make it more fluent and more set. As opposed to the mess it was at the start

As I said before, I consider it a honor that people want to mod our mod :) As long as there are not "Stervation" releases I'm good with it.




What is VERY IMPORTANT for users to understand, is that we cannot offer any kind of help or support for things that break by modifying things. We will end up adding backpack extensions or something similar at some point, and it may conflict with this... Not to mention other things that may break by modding a mod like Starvation.

It will be a female dog to know what is caused by us or by mods like this... You guys NEED to remember that starvation not only mods XML, but it modifies dlls to a good extent...

So please, PLEASE PLEASE: if you have a bug to report MAKE SURE YOU'RE RUNNING "STANDARD STARVATION". Otherwise, things will get chaotic. If you wanna help us improve the mod, play standard version. IF you just wanna play, do whatever you want, on your PRIVATE copy, but do NOT provide bug reports.




So please, add this request to your op.

Hope you get it done !!!

Is this only for sp or can this also be used for a dedicated server.

tried this also just by reading the instructions of stallionsden and the result was a dead dedicated server :p

I hope to see an update soon with a download link

okay morte, they way i understand your reply is that i am okay to release this as long as i make sure to tell people in the OP, that this patch is a unofficial patch meaning that it did not come from the developers of starvation mod, and that by modding their starvation game with these files, they no longer have bug report support?, i will re-edit the op and put in the extra info and add a dl link here in a bit then :) ty very much

 
That is correct. We have already encountered people reporting bugs that have attempted to use BPP modifications, and it is already adversely impacting the development team. With all the frequent changes made to the custom code, it is very unlikely that this mod or any similar mod will work error free with Starvation once the player gets to the point where the custom code begins impacting the UI. Players need to understand that using any modifications to Starvation introduces very high risk risk of a game breaking bug developing at some point.

ah yea i can understand how that is a pain :( but xyth could u do me a huge favor, could u look throu the OP and trell me if i need to change anything or add more info about the risk of modding the game?

 
I'd strongly suggest moving your warning from the bottom to the top of your OP. Otherwise TLDR.

Hey KingRizla

just checked your code, and in the loot.xml I found you changed the following code:

<lootcontainer id="41" count="0" size="5,12" destroy_on_close="true" sound_open="UseActions/open_backpack" sound_close="UseActions/close_backpack" open_time="1" loot_quality_template="baseTemplate">

the size, doesn't need it to be bigger as said in the thread by stallionsden ?

to match your backpack amount of slots + toolbelt size + clothing slots. Example 200 slot BP + 8 slot TB + 10 slot clothing =218 loot.xml needs to look similar to = 20 x 11

so shouldn't it be 60 slots + 8 slots TB + 10 Slots clothing = 78 , so loot.xml should be size 8,12 ??

just a question, not attacking on anything :)

Gr Crash

Very well noticed Crash ;) as i stated in th OP the deathback pack got some issues when it is set to more than 5,12, and this is why i say that a requirement of the player is to make sure he is playing with "drop backpack only" on death, i have done this to make sure that all player inv slots from the backpack can fit in the death bag, but it is true what u say, it should actually have been 6,13 to adjust it to 78 slots, but this will have to do, as far as i can see on my own single player it works great as long as im playing with "drop backpack only" :)

i didn take it as a attack :) the only way to be sure is to ask right? so no harm in doing just that :D

ah, should have read it better :)

Maybe that is what crashed my server. Going to test it out.

Thanks for the great work!

Is this only for sp or can this also be used for a dedicated server.

tried this also just by reading the instructions of stallionsden and the result was a dead dedicated server :p

Oh lol, no worries, prob something I did wrong, not applying to your code.

Think something went wrong with ftp corruption or something, so had to reinstall the game on the server.

Am a noob in coding, had the same issues with arma 2 mods :) took me while to get the hang of it.

Thanks KingRizla for the quick responce, prob didn't read it correctly or didn't made the link of the dead bag prob.

Going to test things further out and will update if I made it work.

Can't get it to work on a dedicated server.

The moment I overwrite the assembly-csharp.dll file with dedicated assembly.dll file from stallions the server is no longer initializing. :(

too bad, cause the slots in starvation are not enough to even loot one floor in a building. I get the survival part, but running every 5 minutes back to base even with a lot of items scraped is taking the fun out for me perssonaly. will check further and testing some stuff out, but so far no luck

I dont think u will get this patch to work for a dedicated server mate, it is primarily for single player. i myself will not try to make it to work for servers as i see that being very tricky. but if u get it to work please let me know :)

 
King, did you changed something also in the Assembly-CSharp.dll

cause when I see the size of your dll file it is 6935kb

the dll file from stallion is 6582kb of size.

am using your dll file for the local sp but am using the dedicated dll file from stallion, so maybe there is the prob...
