I can't get this to work on my ALICE belt & suspenders for some reason. It says there's 1 upgrade slot but won't let me use it.

@alp15 im playing with custom rules, all item spawn are in extremely rare (idk how it calls but the lowest) and backpacks and something like this in dont spawn so the game are hard to me in the start
alp15 10 Sep @ 5:20am 
@ZeroTwo.exe yes, but that depends on how hard you want to play the game. You can play a simple metropolitan citizen and the challenge can make the game even better. I love this mode because I'm incredibly impatient with hoarding items.

@alp15 Is there anyone who doesn't use the organized trait? It's almost a mandatory trait in any game, just like the “Dextrous” trait.
alp15 9 Sep @ 1:36am 
@ZeroTwo.exe It's okay; someone claimed I was lying, so I wrote them back. I can use the mod without any problems. Let me reiterate one last time: organized trait is a must. I used the parameters in the last image for the Clothbag upgrade feature. Please examine the images I shared. This mod is the only one that has bags enabled in my game.

@alp15 ??? what are you talking about?
alp15 8 Sep @ 12:39am 
I've shared the images of the thesis I made up. Sandbox parameters are included. Don't blame my ass and cry about your incompetence. There's over 2k hours of gameplay, and some kid is talking about my ass :))

@ZeroTwo.exe Turns out same, thanks
ZeroTwo.exe ( Allkeyshop ) 4 Sep @ 1:53am 
@cuddlygunman nvm, for me it was a conflict with the “Customizable Containers” mod.
Cuddlygunman 3 Sep @ 9:07pm 
Also, using the fix stats button doesn't work
Cuddlygunman 3 Sep @ 9:06pm 
@ZeroTwo.exe same, anyone found a fix?

Recipes show they use only 3 units of thread but when you craft something it uses the whole thing

@Dr. Lalaoz The only part of the mod that works for me is the weight reduction. No matter what capacity upgrade I put, the space doesn't increase at all in any backpack.
jacek.machajewski 15 Aug @ 10:11am 
Absolutely goated
Arcade__ 15 Aug @ 5:21am 
Getting spammed with warnings in console about resetting the bags capacity, is there a way to turn off auto update after it has been enabled? I think it's causing a lot of lag in my game.
chura 15 Aug @ 3:26am 
Can you please override the ALICE Belt and Suspenders' per-item cap somehow? ... to be at least somehow proportional to the capacity/reduction etc - i would really love to take my utilities like hammer, hatchet, etc, but cannot :(
Clam Chowderメ 10 Aug @ 11:47am 
Yup whoever the guy that says having Organized Trait works, he's lying out of his ass.

@alp15
Sorry but my character have the ORGANIZED TRAIT, and the MODE doesn't work.
iHaku 8 Aug @ 2:43am 
im having an issue with the fanny pack (1 base capacity, 1 Upgrade Slot).
i tried adding a cloth upgrade, which should result in a (1*15%)+1=2.15, or at least 2 capacity when rounded.

however, the capacity is still 1 after applying the upgrade. Upgrading a regular backpack works as expected.
Stalker_44 5 Aug @ 11:18pm 
to anyone wondering, this mod is somewhat incompatible with Customized Containers. the upgrades of capacity do not work, but encumbrance reduction (straps) do.
alp15 28 Jul @ 11:27pm 
Let's write again. If your character has ORGANIZED TRAIT, MODE WORKS. ENJOY
J1ha7 28 Jul @ 7:35am 
1 of my favorite mods , i allways use it
conspiracyXtremist 22 Jul @ 8:40pm 
hey ive been playing with this mod a lot but i cant seem to find a military bag upgrade? i searched all through the military check point. favorite mod wont play without
待到烟火茶凉 21 Jul @ 1:50am 
@Dr. Lalaoz You can refer to some codes in Bag Upgrade Plus mod, which may be real-time update capacity or breaking limit. Running your mod alone cannot increase capacity.
待到烟火茶凉 21 Jul @ 1:43am 
The capacity of any backpack in the original version cannot be directly upgraded through this mod. You need to use the upgraded backpack in the Bag Upgrade Plus mod first, and then use the upgrade option of this mod to increase the capacity.:steamhappy:
Clam Chowderメ 17 Jul @ 1:04pm 
i'm not sure what went wrong, but since B42.10 this mod has stopped working. Any kind of bag upgrades does not increase the capacity of the backpack whatsoever.
elspbeth 14 Jul @ 5:39am 
This is an excellent mod, but since the latest game update I have found no materials that upgrade the pack nor can I make them as I did before. Must be so frustrating as a mod creator to constantly adapt to the game upgrades (sad). Backpacks with no upgrades makes it so hard to lift the many items that are 40 pounds.

@Dr. Lalaoz Ty
Dr. Lalaoz  [author] 13 Jul @ 7:41am 
You find upgrade items to attach to existing backpacks or bags. you'll need a needle and thread, as well as one of the upgrade items, which can be crafted or looted.
The mod should work on any kind of inventory container object, but in b42 they hard capped the bag capacity size to 50 for some reason. theres a way to work around it, i just don't know what it is. i haven't touched the mod in a while.
Cosmo 13 Jul @ 2:31am 
Hey @Dr. Lalaoz
Quick question, does this mod allow you to level vanilla backpacks or do I have to find some specific ones?
Is the backpack leveling section in the tailoring section?
хардкоринка 9 Jul @ 7:22am 
is it compatible with Authentic Z?
alp15 5 Jul @ 11:27am 
When you are an organizer you can exceed the limit of 50, it works. The unbearable lightness of hanging out in a truck with a sports car :)
VenecoHead 28 Jun @ 12:43pm 
When you upgrade backpacks it adds additional slots to them. What can you even put there? I have tried everything and nothing works.
reanimated6 21 Jun @ 2:30am 
Does it work with Authenticz backback mod? does it work with customizable containers?
Peter the Fox 31 May @ 8:20am 
It seems to be a bit broken at the moment. I have this bug where if I go too high on the weight it makes my character move as if they are over encumbured even though their carrying weight is at like 9%. It would be amazing if this could be fixed, as I really like this mod.

Jusluw 4 May @ 10:15am

When I click the fix upgrade thing nothing happens
Bumbullbee 21 Apr @ 10:55am 
Hey when I have the Knife Removes Upgrades option enabled, I get an error every time that I try to open the crafting menu. The crafting menu will fail to open at all with this option enabled. I'm on latest unstable build. took me forever to find this issue, since the error itself doesn't mention this mod, but says there's a Vanilla LUA issue. :deadweight:
진지사피언스 20 Apr @ 9:30am 
It doesn't increase more than 50.
Noisy Koi 18 Apr @ 2:38pm 
also the upgrades seem to have a weird sprite surrounded by white pixels when the upgrades are placed on the ground or dropped
Noisy Koi 18 Apr @ 2:07pm 
it would also be really cool to be able to "upgrade" bag attachment slots onto bags tho probably with a few more upgrade slots for attachments as opposed to just one per bag, I know there are a few mods that add bag attachments but they seem to mostly require you to craft bags into new versions of themselves whereas I like how this one adds the slots to all modded backpacks as well, perhaps for compatibility's sake, most of the attachment slots could be placed on the shoulder straps? like a flashlight slot on the shoulder, tool slots on the chest (on the straps), bottle slot right behind the shoulder (a little clipping should be fine with most bag models so long as it looks like the bottle is close to the body to avoid it looking like its hovering)
Noisy Koi 18 Apr @ 2:03pm 
it seems the weight reduction upgrade doesn't effect bag attachments.
To be more specific, having a bedroll equipping on the bag slot gives it less weight reduction than having it inside the bag, tho it does still reduce its weight, just not nearly as much.

SHOW ERROR. I unsubscribed this.
Lzhec 29 Mar @ 8:41pm 
Приветствую. Есть проблема. В настройках песочницы изменяю максимально количество слотов, но это не дает результата, на всех сумках так и остается 2 возможных слота для улучшения. Буквально 2-3 недели назад такого не было. В чем может быть проблема?

Так же, если я получаю возможность установки дополнительного слота через поднятие уровня навыка шитья, то в информации о предмете указывается что могу поставить больше улучшений, но фактически их можно установить не более двух.

It sounds like starlit opted to rewrite the tooltip code rather than saving it and running it later. but if they did it right it shouldn't have broken anything in theory. so i don't know. you'll have to ask them.
poopsock 26 Mar @ 8:24am 
@Dr. Lalaoz thank you for the information. I just started learning lua and hopefully i can start making my own mods soon. You and a couple of other people have been a huge inspiration to me.
Dr. Lalaoz  [author] 26 Mar @ 7:26am 
the way modders have to change zomboid tooltips is by essentially hijacking the tooltip renderer. we store the original render function, then replace the render function with our own, and then call the original render function at the end of our own code.
this can cause problems when a bunch of mods are doing the same thing and one person breaks it. it looks like you have 7 mods doing this.
the 7 mods involved are;
Starlit Library, Better Clothing Info Comparison, Recut, Show Food Stats, Skill Recovery Journal, KATTA J1 Clothes Core, and Dynamic Backpack Upgrades.
Most likely its Starlit Library since thats the most recent call in that list. (at the top)
specifically its line 31 if you want to pull up their mod.
also, the error line for dynamic upgrades is line 120, which is the line where it pushes the original render function. so its not a problem with this mod.
Good luck!

this error message is popping up in the new build, hope this helps with getting it updated soon! :spiffo:
