Lootable clothing.

[TheDA]

How would one create new lootable clothing items? I have trawled forums for the past few days and have found no information on it.

I'm able to manually change skins to anything in ARMA II, but have yet to figure out how to create an item to place in-game.

Another thing we need to know is how to enable backpack support if a skin doesn't have it already.

Clothing parcels are defined in cfgmagazines withing the dayz_code.pbo

It if not possible to overwrite this file from the mission file.

You can add "random" starting skins fairly easily but you must be running rmod to unban the arma skins that are not used in dayz

Adding backpacks to skins is tricky, ONLY arma 2 OA skins support backpacks, skins from arma and arma 2 DO NOT support backpacks. It is possible to enable them to carry backpacks, but they will not show. But again addign skins from third party sources requires editing the dayz_code.bpo and the server.pbo

Short and sweet reply as im tied up with other things but I hope it helps out.

If you find a model that works unbanned in dayz you can use the soldier skin parcel to give people that skin or a random skin

I haven't even bothered looking at this since 1.7.7.1 though as I expect most skins are now banned anyway
