Description


Similar to the MA Mobile Base, a Container Base is an all-in-one Inventory solution. You need to "construct" a kit and attach items, yes, but after that it's basically a tent... just better.

This mod includes a custom blueprint. As a server admin you can choose to make it a rare object for players to find on the map or you can just offer it at the trader.



For this mod, I revived the good old vanilla spraypaint. Completely remade with custom spray action and sounds. Instead of camonets or other covers, a Container Base can be painted in 5 different colors - Green, Red, Blue, Yellow or Camo. After placing a container with a Kit, a random Spraycan will be created in the containers inventory.


AND JOIN THE DISCORD!



NO CODELOCK THIS TIME! For this mod I made a Keycard System with a Keypad already attached to the Container. If you place the Container with a Base Kit, a Keycard is created in the players inventory.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH EMPTY INVENTORY SLOTS!

🔹 With a Keycard in hand, pair it by looking at the Keypad.
🔹 Now the Container and the Keycard have the same ID.
🔹 Your Base can now only be opened with this Keycard.
🔹 Keycards can be copied (no limit) AFTER an ID has been assigned.
🔹 The copy will also be created in the players inventory.
🔹 Copied Keycards carry the same ID as the original.
🔹 If no IDs have been assigned, Containers can be opened with empty keycards.

Config ➜ CanTakeKeycardFromDeadPlayer:
If set to 0, Keycards can't be looted if you die. It also means YOU can't loot it back either, so... COPY YOUR KEYCARDS!

FOR ADMINS: There is an Admin Keycard. It bypasses IDs and opens any Container directly.

COMING SOON: Admin Keycard will reset Container ID. If Keycard is lost, Admin can reset and give out a new Keycard.



1️⃣ Lockpick
The Container can take damage (Projectiles only). If you damage a Base to the point of being ruined (it will take a long time), you can then use a normal Lockpick to "Unlock Ruined Door".

🔴KEEP IN MIND: Based on your server settings, ruined items might disappear very quickly!

2️⃣ ElectronicRepairKit, Screwdriver, Pliers
A Container Base Keypad can be raided with any of these 3 tools. You can delete any of them from the config if you don't want it to be a raid item. The standard setting is 15 minutes. Change raid time to fit your server style or disable if you don't allow raiding.

3️⃣ Config Options
After installing the mod and restarting your server, there will be a "ContainerBase" folder inside your servers profiles folder with 5 options to choose from:

"CanTakeKeycardFromDeadPlayer": 1, ➜ Can loot Keycard from dead body. "CanRepairContainer": 1, ➜ Can repair Base with Epoxy. "CanUnlockRuinedDoor": 1, ➜ Can raid ruined Base with Lockpick. "CanRaidKeypad": 1, ➜ Can raid Keypad with any of the following items. "KeypadRaidTime": 15.0, ➜ In minutes. "CanRaidKeypadWith": [ ➜ If you only want 1 raid item for example "ElectronicRepairKit", you can delete the others. "Screwdriver", "Pliers" ]
0 = disabled │ 1 = enabled



Everything I make for DayZ is free, it just takes up a lot of my time :D Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much ♥

1) Why is it called Container Base?
It is a modified Shipping Container that can easily be dismantled with a hacksaw and moved elsewhere at any time. In order to dismantle it the inventory must be empty.

2) How do I build a Container Base?
For Part 1 you combine 10 WoodenPlanks + 10 MetalPlates to get a Base Kit. For Part 2 you attach 1 Blueprint, 1 Hammer, 20 MetalPlates and 60 Nails to the Kit. Now you can place the Container like a tent.

3) Why did my Container disappear after a server restart?
As a server admin you need to make sure that you include the types.xml file from the mod folder "Extras". You need to adjust your servers types file in order to get the correct item lifetime.

4) Why are some item slots not working properly?
You have to figure out what mod has custom item slots for let's say a shovel, then contact the creator and get them to change it from: inventorySlot[]={ "Shovel","Shovel1"...} to: inventorySlot[]+={ "Shovel","Shovel1"...}

@Scoville I have a codelock version. it will be its own mod tho...
Scoville 18 Mar @ 10:19am 
I feel it would be perfect if it accepted codelock
Scoville 18 Mar @ 10:19am 
great mod but many issues with the player keys, losing them etc and they are not able to reset their own.
Mr. Alex  [author] 18 Mar @ 6:46am 
@BearHunterZ I see, yeah its possible, give me a bit...
BearHunterZ 18 Mar @ 4:37am 
Hello, I'm sorry I have to bother you again^^
Would it be possible to see who claimed the keycard in the logs? Unfortunately, it's not clear from the log.txt. This way, you can better determine whether the player is still actively using the base.

Great Work thx

UPDATE:

Admin Keycards can now reset Container ID's. This should help with lost Keycards.

ADMINS WILL HAVE TO ISSUE A NEW KEYCARD TO THE PLAYER IF THEY OPEN A CONTAINER!
