UsefulContainers

Description
Makes containers hold 1 more row than they take up in your inventory.

In previous versions of the game the containers held slightly more inventory space than they took up. This mod brings back that functionality, and has logic in place to prevent nesting containers within containers infinitely. Affected items are:

FirstAidKit 4x4 inventory, 3x3 footprint
SmallProtectorCase 4x4 inventory, 3x3 footprint
CookingPot 4x4 inventory, 3x3 footprint
AmmoBox 5x5 inventory, 4x4 footprint
WaterProofBag 5x5 inventory, 4x4 footprint

Additionally this mod makes it so those containers can be repaired with tape (FirstAidKit, Protector Case, WaterProofBag) or epoxy (all others)

This mod, in conjunction with ItemSizeTweak can trim your player's kits down quite a bit, as can mods like UsefulBatteries which will make it so you aren't constantly feeding your equipment fresh batteries.

To install server side:
-Download the mod to the root directory of your server
-Copy the key file from the keys directory to your server's keys directory
-Add this mod to your launch parameters

To install client side using DayZ launcher:
-Subscribe to the mod
-Open DayZ launcher and check mark the mod in the mods list
-Add the mod's folder name to the end of your mod string

Hi, Thanks a lot Novadose. I just added this mod in the Virulent Tweaks set. It has fundamentally changed how I play DayZ now.

Took me a while to find the cause, since it was everything but obvious, but I could nail it down to VanillaStringTableOverride. I have no idea what it is about that mod that affects the first aid kit, but the first aid kit now has the intended 4x4 cargo space.

@Robert J.F. Calais it is definitely another mod over writing my changes; I have seen the issue before. To verify you could load only this mod then check the size and see its good, then add the other mods back slowly until you find the culprit. Did you try loading this mod last?

I'm not running anything that could possibly have any influence over the first aid kit after UsefulContainers; just Trader, TraderFixesAndFeatures and VPPAdminTools. I assumed that InventoryPlusPlus might have caused this, but it doesn't alter any of the containers this mod changes and it loads beforehand aswell. I can't figure out the problem here.

@Robert J.F. Calais you are probably loading a mod after mine that changes the size. Load this mod last.

For some reason, the FirstAidKit still has its vanilla 3x3 capacity. Everything else works perfectly fine.
