Reworked Bag Of Holding !!!

[Aramis1971]

Summary:
ok i didnt create that script but found some bugs with it : first if you put items inside it wont use all pack size and they used to show name ending with [cursed] at the end wich appear anyway on bottom of the item name.

here is what my script include:

- Small bag of holding (can hold 5 items)
cursed

- Medium bag of holding (can hold 10 items)
cursed

- Large bag of holding (can hold 20 items)
blessed

all the bags reduce items weight to 0, they look like a strong backpack and they are usable same as a regular backpack, meaning you can use all the space of it. Also they came in random metal hues and you can put in containers (usefull for regs pack).

Description:


Installation:
Just drop it in your containers folder or in custom folder ... your choice :O)

Please if you like the new mods i applied just rate it... Thx !

I like the idea but I found an exploit.

A player could place items in another container and place that container inside the Bag of Holding. That container only counts as a single item.

um wen u restart the server it resets the weight 2 normal i.e b4 server restart it could say 0 stones in backpack then wen server restarts it says 1000 stones in bag of holding why?

Well i know you can do that but you cant add more items if you do that cause it wont allow you to do it ... it will allow you to add a pack with more items that its supposed but thoses pack are usefull to carry more gold or more ores. But you cant add other items if you do that cause its only the first container that doesnt really count...

Example you add a reg pack (8 regs plus the container itself = 9 items) to a 5 items bag of holding it count as 1 when dropped but you cant add anymore cause after it really know it has already more items, so its useless for gold or anything need to be carried in a bag of holding.

This is the reason to put "blessed" the large one so players will buy the large one instead of small bag.

Not tested, but I think this would fix the server restart issue.

      public BaseBagofHolding( Serial serial ) : base( serial ) 
      { 
		  TotalWeight = 0; // added
      }

This is the line 82 :

Hue = Utility.RandomMetalHue();

if your install is correct it should take it correctly or just change it for ONE of those line :

		Hue = Utility.RandomBlueHue();
		Hue = Utility.RandomGreenHue();
	                Hue = Utility.RandomRedHue();
		Hue = Utility.RandomYellowHue();
		Hue = Utility.RandomNeutralHue();

that will fix it !

um wen u restart the server it resets the weight 2 normal i.e b4 server restart it could say 0 stones in backpack then wen server restarts it says 1000 stones in bag of holding why? any1 gonna fix this problem? cos it could cause crashes wen u try 2 steal or other problems.....also if the server restarts and player is say ina dungeon wif monsters they wnt b able 2 move cos over encumbered and by the time they open back pack and drag stuff 2 make weight 0 stones again it b 2 late to run away and will die

Now it would be nice if something like this could be the default backpack. I hate the weight restrictions and if a new player could start off with a backpack that would hold up to 500 items with about a 75% weight reduction, that would be cool. I suppose it would be simpler though to figure out a way to change the maxweight that a character can carry, regardless of their strength.

*** DISCLAIMER: Not tested due to being at work! ***
I believe that all you would have to do is modify this code

		public static int GetMaxWeight( Mobile m )

		{

			return 40 + (int)(3.5 * m.Str);

		}

in the Scripts/Misc/WeightOverloading.cs file. At least that is what it looks like to me.

I really hate all that facilities. Make a shard THAT easy and players will get bored and quit playing within a week. You can only keep a player for years if there'll always be new stuff along these years, and I mean new stuff, now something with more numbers or different hue. If you take the weight restriction, then why would crafters raise strenght? The only use of strenght would be hps. This would also chance the balance with stats. If you make it so easy that your players have no need to try, test, learn, explore anything to get GMskills and lots of stuff, it will be boring. Lots of players look for easy shards, but then they get bored of them and go to some better shards.

just wanted to drop my two cents in on this one from the top(first post in this thread), as i've been away for a while -

the bags of holding were originally created by Dougan Ironfist, and as one of the players from his shard Dragon Realms (not advertising, shard is no longer active) I just figured i'd toss out that lil' tidbit of info for anyone who was interested to know.

please understand this is not a flame or in any way accusatory/derogatory towards the author of the original post in this thread, he said he didn't create them and I am just supplying the information he lacked.

so no fix for the container bug?
