backpack

[andersson]

I made a backpack addon.

Its far from perfect but it works.
Anyone who wants it can have it. I dont have the time and will to develop it at the moment.

The file is to big to attach here but give a reply here or message me so will I e-mail it to you.


Its a backpack-addon (secondary weapon) to which you "assign" a special crate (cargocapasity 4 weapons, 20 magazines) and when you drop the backpack the assigned crate are moved to the units position and 1 meter under ground so you cant see it. But you can take and put weapons to the crate (name "backpack") as you would to the backpack. When a unit picks up the backpack the crate goes to pos [1,1,-10].

There are issues and basic scripting and so on but it works for me. So if you need a backpack at all cost then its maybe ok? Or if you want to make something of it youre welcome.

Thanx for your replies and interest!

I made some pics but sorry Zayfod, I cant take a pic of the original bag because I modelled it from scratch and the textures are from my t-shirt!!
But I had a friends bag in mind when I did this duffelgab/backpack. Thats a bag that you can carry on the back as a rucksack. I think its swedish?

But IÂ'll show some ingame pics!

[andersson]

another pic

[andersson]

Here you see how the bag "falls" to the left when youre prone. Thats nothing I can do about that. Not that I want to!! Thats what you do in real life when you go prone with a backpack!

[andersson]

And there is no link... And I dont think I can send this to the addon-depot?
But I can send it by email to anyone who wants (I sent it to you terame .

[Terame]

hiya, says I'm missing an add-on called jon_bergen?

Have I missed something?

[andersson]

No. Its my fault. Must have sent you something with some old files in it. Sorry. I must have messed it up when I changed the tag...

IÂ'll look into it and send you it again. Sorry. I hope the rest off you that got the newer package.

edit: Yeah... It was an old mission, my mistake... I feel tired off myself...
Well if anyone wants the new correct file I can send it by email.

Tack för tipset!

"Inga problem" ;D

And call me Armsty(I prefer Sir Noble OFP Mastha Armsty, but just Armsty would do fine too) ;D

I'll check the addon out tomorrow, have to do some last-min homework now ;D

Interesting addon...been waiting a long time for someone to make this idea work.

One thing I noticed is that it seems that you need to be positioned "just right" in order to be able to take anything from the bags (works fine for AI though ), which is odd...is there any chance you could do something about that?  I don't know what if anything you could do...but it's just an idea.

The other thing is if you *could* somehow come up with a solution to the delay....that would be great too.  I'm sure if you asked around, someone could come up with a solution to that problem.

Other than that, no problems using it.

I really, really, really (did I mention really?) like this addon....I don't think the 10 bags limit is a problem since 1 bag can take care of a whole squad!  No longer do you have to worry about running out of ammo - just make sure that you keep the bag.

Now you can have a designated "ammo guy" for your squad, as long as you know the basics of working the bags in the radio menu.

:cheers: GREAT ADDON! :cheers:

I think I'll put it in my paratrooper mission!
