Modular Clothing

[Draco122 412]

So I via Torchia twitter feed I read up about the implementation of the M65 Field Jacket, I own one of these and for one note I'd like to mention is about Modular or adaptable clothing. What do I mean this, well lets take a look at the Smersh Vest and Smersh Backpack, two seperate items combined into one when you get both together.

 

So how does this work for the M65 and other potential jackets, well the M65 has an optional insulating layer (usually a thin wool layer worn inside to give warmth in colder conditions). So I thought would this be cool to find in DayZ? A series of clothing items (mostly Jackets) which you can find additions in form of insulating wool layers which can be combined with the jacket to provide an extra element of warmth?

 

The insulating layer can also be worn as a form of sweater or cardigan even.

it is a good addition to the future, but i think its kinda useless at this point of development(like many things they keep adding, but what can we do :D)

I once had a discussion that was like this once, It was about the bulletproof vest using MOLLE addons. And then nearly derailing my own thread because of a stupid video i posted on said thread

How about just adding clothing layering to the game instead?

I am for this, truly despite what I say. But I believe there is a way to have both. For example:

 

Lets say they add Layering, there's only so many layers you can wear at once, lets say they make it so the maximum is 4 layers. A player comes across a High capacity vest but the environment he is in is extremely cold and wet, he's already wearing an undershirt, T-shirt, a wool liner and a Raincoat but for game limiting reasons he can only wear a total of 4 layers at once. However, if it was permitted for example even with a sewing kit to combine a wool liner with a raincoat to combine two layers into one layer. This effectively allows a player to wear the High Cap Vest providing he follows the steps necessary. The M65 Field Jacket and even other military jackets don't need a sewing kit to combine the two, simply having them together allows you to do this
