volume and weight for any item and cargo space

[kOepi (DayZ) 35]

hello guys,

I'd like to suggest new conditions for the inventory system, as realistic as possible.
This would mean that any cargo and any item has a weight and a volume value.
I come from the A.C.E. mod community and therefore I did a lot of research
which was taken over into the mod.

in the A.C.E. mod it is looking like the following video shows,
inventory slots for your pouches on your body and backpack
space defined as the simple volume of it.
here is a video to show how it is in that mod.

I think with this system and a realistic stamina system you will reach an immersion
that holds the correct balance between mobility and accesibility.
There are similar suggestions on this forum, well, didnt find
anything which is on a similar scale of thinking.

I am offering myself to give information of the collected data and
I am willing to do more research as requested.

to name some examples of the stuff that I did, information I gathered
from first hand measurement, calculation and blueprints to come
as reaslistic as possible to volume and weight of weapons,
magazines, cartridges, belts, handgrenades, mines, anti-tank-weapons
and rockets.

best regards

That would be nice. I really miss a stamnia-system. And as soon as there are vehicles, I'd like to be forced to WALK most of the time.

 

You shouldn't be able to carry things like wheels like in the mod, too. You could carry them in your hands to the next vehicle, like we know from the Devblog.

But concerning myslef,i think it's a very good idea.But it is development-heavy to implement,and the game need

more vital infastructure at this stage.But in the future,definetely.
