Josh Mate's Better Backpacks
Description
Makes Backpacks bigger while still staying in line with Vanilla gameplay balance based on price / rarity / weight
Changes
- All single grid backpacks have had their sizes increased by about 40%
- Boss bags (Birds eye radio / Sanitar) have been made significantly larger to fit their boss status
- Bags with multiple grids were increased by less to prevent UI grid overlap issues
- The field medic bag had its item restrictions removed
How to Configure this mod
- All backpacks come pre-edited to new bigger but balanced sizes. Just install and play
- You can edit the values in Mod.ts to your liking
- Increasing bag sizes too much can cause UI grid over lap issues
Installation
Move the mod's "user" folder into your SPT AKI folder that contains your user folder.
Special Thanks
Special thanks to Nootropix for writing the original mod which I modified for the new backpacks and updated to 3.2.1
Special thanks to JJBeanson for finding the IDs for the last few missing backpacks

The text printed post load is saying AKI 3.7.1 (line 290) even though it's U21 version
Josh Mate Author
Oversight, just forgot to update the version number text in the log, I have now fixed this in the latest U22 version.

I was getting an error trying to install this but worked out the solution so I figured I'd share. If you've done everything else correctly, don't have a conflicting mod installed, and are using the right version(s) but are still getting an error when launching the server, then check to make sure the folder for the mod isn't restricted/locked. You'll see a lock symbol on the folder icon or something similar depending on your OS if it is. Right click and go into Properties and look for permissions. You want your account and group to have access to read and write to the folder and its contents (basically the ability to access, create, modify, and delete files. Most folders are set this way by default but something changed the permissions for this folder) Again, the exact wording may differ depending on your OS.
I'm almost certain I didn't do anything to cause the folder to lose the permissions initially, this is the only mod I've had this happen to so far. Though I am on Linux so that might have something to do with it.

hello ,
the tag on the mod says 3.8.1 but when i load it up it says that it is incompatible to my game version, is there something i am missing ?.

I'm using Configurable Inventories which enables the new backpacks to work with the slots. I am also guessing these two would be incompatible with each other. Maybe a warning on your mod page about what other types of mods can conflict with this one? For instance anything that changes backpack slots, etc.

this doesnt include the new backpacks, dragon egg, SATL, RK-PT-25, though they are multi grid bags... next update?
Josh Mate Author
Since they are multi grid bags they can't really be edited with the mod in its current state as it causes UI errors that break storing and retrieving things from the backpack. If I had the time and knowledge I would work out how to change it in the client code so it works.
ZeroDarkSenpai
Yeah I had to upgrade to latest version and currently does not work as a heads up. Love this mod, thanks for the hard work thus far.
papershredder432
I updated it for 3.8.0.
ZeroDarkSenpai
I saw the update, thank you so much for updating it.

This works fine with 3.80, i've tested it all the way up to level 35 on all maps and on all the backpacks. If you're going crazy with sizes only go up to 15x15 or it may cause problems.
Change the version to 3.80 in the package.json Note that this is not something you should do with most mods as there could be a good reason as to why it's not being loaded. "akiVersion": "3.8.0",
But in this case the mod works just fine. Keep in mind that i can not guarantee it will work flawlessly with every mod configuration out there, but my game is very mod heavy so i am confident that it will.
Rin
can infact say this is not compatible with 3.8.0
papershredder432
I updated it for 3.8.0.

Do not DOWNLOAD MALEWARE!
Josh Mate Author
What on earth? Like if this was like an .exe fair enough, but it's just a block of json data, why even lie about something like this?
cadsarm
Yo make compatible with Drip
SaltyFries
Hey could you possibly make this work with DRIP so those bags are also increased
Palady
Update please. I changed the version in the mod files, where it was written SPT-AKI 3.7.2 changed to SPT-AKI 3.7.5 This allowed the mod to load without errors when starting the server. Tell me, was it a stupid decision, and in the future there will be errors in the game? Or is this exactly how to change the version of this mod under the version of SPT-AKI, maybe the code itself does not need to change?????
Josh Mate Author
This mod is very stable and compatible with new versions, so it should continue to work even without updates, it just won't affect any newly added backpacks til I update it manually
Krilzlocc
Is this mod compatible with 3.7.0?
Azzy
Not really sure why but this mod shows up as in my profile but not loaded
I've tried to reinstall/update it to no avail.
JimboK
Mod.ts seems to be a Media file and it says to open it with Media Player, but Media Player won't open it. Sorry for my inexperience. Not sure how to edit the backbags sizes to my liking.
minersdreams
The mod file in the src folder called mod thats a java script file open with notepad thats how i edit it
Josh Mate Author
.ts is a java script type script file, open it with a text editor like notepad.
JimboK
Thank you so much. Love the mod

birdeyes backpack weighs 16kg when empty. Is it suppose to?
Dezzy_fb
Yes, he has the Mystery Ranch NICE COMM 3, which weighs 15 kg by default
Josh Mate Author
I think it's soo heavy because it's also a radio as well as a backpack.
Krilzlocc
do this mod work with 3.7.0?
DizzilyHQ
Indispensable Mod for every playthrough. i love it!
Claus1978
Does not work in 3.7.0, all backpack sizes are wrong, i checked them all.
I put them all to 15x25 like in 3.6.1 and they were out of the screen, and 10x in horizontal, so needs an update.
edit: 15x15 still works on backpacks looted so far, i will keep testing all the packs and let you know.
Skush
Didn't check every backpack, but seems to be working fine on 3.6.1 so far
yasir8405
Will this be updated to 3.6.1?
Mattonix

zemtex

7si

DevilVampz

Refringe
With the recent nerfs in update 10/11 what would happen when you upgrade from a profile that has backpacks stacked full?
Josh Mate Author
The items in the slots that have been removed will be lost to the void I am afraid. Sorry about that. You can get around this by either emptying your backpacks first or changing the values in the mod file.
Refringe
Thanks for clarifying.
