StandAlone - A clothing slot for belts, different kinds of holsters and quivers

Recommended Posts

It would be nice if a clothing slot for belts, water bottle holsters(trekking style), gun holsters, hip-mounted quivers and ACTUAL tool belts was implemented into the SA.

Ordinary belts might be crafted into more useful ones by hanging pouches/crafted quivers from them, or separate gun holsters/quivers could be found that had a hook/leather strap on the side to mount them on a normal belt.

I think this would add more positive complexity to the crafting system, and a nice touch of authenticity to the SA inventory system in general.

Some links with pics:

Basic attachable gun holsters:

And there you have it. I wanted to shy away from military grade tool belts, but one pic managed to sneak its way in anyway.

By the way, I made this thread entirely with the new SA inventory system in mind. It currently lacks a belt slot for clothing.

EDIT: I copied this from a reddit post that I made, which is why the text is all messed up.

EDIT: Formatting fixed thanks to Joe.

Ah you made a thread, yes I like alot of this, hopefully things get this complex in the SA

Also Im really hoping that your character can eventually look like this ----> http://i.imgur.com/fDpDG.jpg

a way to make all this work without having a million slots for stuff on a guy you could have a general area where items could be attached. Like you have on your characters torso a jacket, a bandoleer, possibly a rifle holster (that lets you get your gun out faster or something) and some water bottles attached to your torso. Some items could conflict so someone couldn't put a plethora of crap on that wouldn't fit.

If they use a similar system like in ArmA 3 all demands should have been fullfilled.

Bloody hell i am blind!

But yes, i agree with your suggestions. Me thinks all items you find will have slots for inventory items.

All clothing items, yes. The problem is, we don't have belts yet, so these kinds of attachable/craftable items are not yet possible.

Not a very safe thing to do with a loaded gun. Impractical as well.
