ToFu Virtual Storage

ToFu Virtual Storage

This mod adds some new barrels to DayZ which store items outside the DayZ database to increase server performance.

This release is a first beta, so use it accordingly with caution.
On my live server, virtual storage has been in use for a long time with no significant bugs.

There are 16 different labeled barrels in total.
Each barrel has an inventory size of 500 slots.
Once a barrel is closed, the contents are saved to a file in the "profiles/ToFuVStorage" folder.
You can not attach the barrel to slot.
You can transport the barrel if it is closed.
You can put it in your inventory if it is closed and empty.
Types can be found in the mod folder.

Thanks to inkihh for adding autoclose function!

Advantages:


[*]Significant performance gain (server FPS) on a server with many bases with many storage containers.
[*]Lag is reduced when approaching a base since the items do not have to be sent to the client.
[*]The server will start faster on a reboot



What you should consider:


[*]The barrels can't store items with special properties (notes, car keys,...). See Blacklist for more info.
[*]By saving the items, they are virtually non-existent for DayZ, accordingly they are no longer taken into account by the CE system (so be careful with items that should be rare or only available in a certain quantity).
[*]Meat will not rot in the barrels when they are closed.



This mod might be usefull for you:


[*]If you run a PvE Server and have lots of players hoarding items.
[*]Have Lag on clients when players drive/fly and approach a base.



Blacklist:


[*]A config file is automatically created in the folder "profiles/ToFuVStorage" at the first start.
[*]By default, the keys of Trader Mod & MuchCarKey, Notes and Vanilla Meat are blacklisted.
[*]If you as admin want to forbid a certain item to save, just add it to the blacklist.
[*]If a certain item from another mod should cause problems, just add it to the blacklist.
[*]Always include the base class tofu_vstorage_barrel in the blacklist to prevent putting barrel into barrel



Knows Issues:


[*]When running Trader Mod from Doc Jones, you need also TraderFixesAndFeatures from Helkhiana
