Theory on wep. slots on B.packs

[Thorsblood 26]

I haven't done to much testing, however on packs that have a 0 weapon slot you cannot place weapon's in them even if you have room (which we know already), we also know by now that placing a weapon when you pack is full even though you have no weapons in your pack results in loosing the weapon (either drops or poofs)

Now after a little reading I realized tools counted towards weapon slots in tents and cars.

So I now believe that these *weapon slots* are actually another set of restrictions to your slots.

*how many guns OR spare tools you take with you*.

Example a Czech Backpack has 24 slots and *4* weapon slots. Lets say you fill your pack with an extra 3 toolbox's for w/e reason and you found 2 G17 some how, you'd only be able to take the 3 toolbox's and 1 gun since there is a 4 limit, or both guns and 2 toolbox's.

any way that's my theory, if there is an official post on this i haven't found it...or i'm blind.

if some one wants to test my theory for me that would be great, at the moment only 2 hours in on a newer server so i don't have stuff to test with :o

If I'm reading it correctly, it's more like this:

Weapons take up X item slots.

Pertaining to size, some backpacks simply cannot hold any weapons, whether the item count can support it or not, others can hold only 1 weapon even if the item count would support 2.

This would mean if either of the limits is hit, you cant put the weapon into it.

Coyote Assault Pack: max 1 weapon, max 8 items. Again, it does NOT mean 1 weapon + 8 items, it means 8 items and if you have a weapon that takes up 8 or less slots, it can fit into those.

ACU Assault Pack: max 1 Weapon, max 12 items

Czech Vest Pouch: 0 weapons, max 12 items (see the difference to the ACU?)

Alice Pack: 2 weapons, max 16 items

Survival ACU: 2 weapons, 16 items

British Assault Pack: 3 weapons, 18 items

Czech Backpack: 4 weapons, 24 slots

Coyote Backpack: 6 weapons, 24 slots. This means, if you have a weapon that takes 4 slots (maybe a sidearm? I dont remember how much size those take up), you could fit 6 of them into the coyote backpack (but then it's full to the rim)

However, that's just from the config file, whether it actually uses the transportMaxWeapons field I couldn't tell you.

Yesterday I put in a coyote backpack 2 rangefinder, 2 nvg, 2 gps, 2 watchs, 2 compasses and 2 axes, 12 in total. Had no problem doing it. Trully tools applies as weapons inside tents and vehicles, but I dont think this happens with backpacks.

So I guess my theory is fact then, since you just said a better version of what i was saying and i'v tested it some today as-well and it seems true enough.
