Exists a mod that lets you put your bicycle into a car?

[peter.jerz@gmx.net 6]

Hi all,

 

I read recently somewhere that there is a mod that lets you put a bike into the trunk of a car. That sounds quite interesting. I couldn't find more info on it. Does someone know more about it? Any hint would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Peter

It's probably DayZ Epoch unless there's other mods that offer that functionality.

There's a mod that lets you put a bicycle in a toolbox, not sure which though.

I heard there is a mod which lets you grow a mustache and when its full grown you can put a bicycle in it!

Thanks to all for contribution! (Not to you, m.cab! :D )

 

Now someone should implement the bike-to-trunk idea into DayZ vanilla to keep me from getting blisters when collecting a vehicle.

Sounds that good it should make its way to the suggestions forum.

 

The only potential stopper I could see is how the engine would handle effectively trying to put a vehicle into an inventory.

[peter.jerz@gmx.net 6]

I don't know this engine, but I know how software works (Being a programmer is my job). I do not think that it would be a problem:

- putting bike into trunk removes bike object from world and creates bike item (entry, icon, whatever) inside trunk (car inventory)

- removing bike from car inventory would do it the other way round: Remove Bike item from inventory and create bike object in world near the car or inside player's inventory. Keeping the repair stats should be possible, since keeping individual stats is also possible for mags, so the potential is there.

 

The only problem I see is selecting the correct bike (imagine several bikes standing around a car) when putting it into the trunk, because you don't have it inside you inventory. Better solution would be to allow to pick up a bike when facing it (via wheel menu), and placing it inside the players inventory (6 or 8 slots, remove from world, place item into gear, see above). With this feature putting a bike into a car when opening the car's gear menu should be quite easy to implement.

 

I wish I would know DayZ modding good enough -- I would implement it personally, maybe as a little addon you could put into any other mod. That would be sweet... :)

 

Shall I put this into the suggestions forum? Because, originally it is not my idea.

Thank you!

 

I checked whatever Epoch docs were available, but couldn't find any clues concerning the bike-into-trunk idea. Epoch doc seem s to be very meagre. Or is there a good source for it?

Is it DayZ Hogwarts?

Is it DayZ Hogwarts?

Why, is that feature taken from the Harry Potter franchise?

I looked into it a bit and it appears to be a custom add-on they use in Epoch called R3F Artillery and Logistics.

Thanks for this info. Sadly, the R3F page seems to be French only. :(

I'm not sure how up to date that thread is but it should get you started. There's probably people on the BIS forums that actually know how it works, I'm just good at finding stuff.
