I think items weight is set on an individual basis on each item in the items script, not exactly sure but I think it maybe the case, you could possibly edit somewhere in the weight stamina area to have it so max weight before encumbrance is higher, again this is only theory.

Nope. I feel like I've opened every file and haven't found anything related to individual item weights.

How did you open this file? I've tried using a few different programs and the only one that doesn't give me an error just seems like it's continuously trying to open it.

grab arma 3 tools from steam, and then you need to unpack with cfgconvter and to repack just add it the other way around

Tbh I haven't tried to rebin, you can just repack the pbo with the .cpp, it does not need to be rebinned while you develop afaik.

changed 1 line from weight = 10000; to weight =3000; gives me the below error after ive readded it to the pbo and started server and thats with the ArmAUnbin

http://prntscr.com/l0hkwx

if i use the tools

arma 3 tools from steam, unpack with cfgconvter and to repack  add it back to the pbo the server starts but the item dose not spawn

i have tryed to re bin the files up with no luck in the server with the item spawning i have even reset the database for loot each time and nothing

as iceman says in the stamina file you can add weight penalty its set at 50kg i believe so if you set it to 100kg double carry weight

I get the same result as you when changing those values (doesn't reflect in-game), maybe those values need to be changed on both client and server?

Yep, changing it on client as well as server works, so each player would need to download this "mod". I had to disable verify signatures since I had modifed data.

Perhaps there is some way do an override in the mission file instead?

I only tested with press vest, worked fine when done with both client and server, I changed it from 14kg to under 1kg.

Nope it should not cause you got then "corrupted data" (edited PBO and the "dayz.bikey" does not match with it ("ServerMainDirectory"\keys)) I konw ith from ArmA2 got it to edit the AS50 bullet hit the zed on Server at same i shot over a distance of 2 km without zeroing and up aiming   just needed to add the key from the new pbo soo…

I believe there is client sided checks on weight, If you disable weight server sided the client won't agree with it and run turns into a slow jog speed with the run animation.

I can confirm the opposite actually, you get the jog animation and move at run speed.

anything in the addon file that gets changed also has to be put in the players game addon folder to make it work. addon folder = mod in a round about way.
