Storage Rules by DelaDuck

DelaDuck’s Storage Rules
Advanced storage logic engine for DayZ servers — nested rules, blacklists, and live reload



What is this mod?

DelaDuck’s Storage Rules is a storage control framework for DayZ.
!This mod MUST be installed as both a Server and Client side mod!

It allows administrators to define the exact storage behavior for every item, including:
- Vehicles
- Containers
- Player equipment slots
- Nested containers
- Blacklist logic
- Whitelist logic
- Optional control over nested restriction propagation

This is not a slot-mod.
This is a storage rules engine.

Perfect for:
• Hardcore servers
• RP projects
• Economy-based servers
• Servers with large mod packs
• Exploit prevention



Key Features


[*]Per-item storage permissions
[*]Control where items can be placed:

[*]Vehicle cargo
[*]Vehicle attachment slots
[*]Container cargo
[*]Container attachment slots
[*]Player slots


[*]Nested restriction system

[*]Items inside containers can restrict the placement of the parent object
[*]Optional ignore nesting flags for fine-tuning


[*]Inventory Blacklist
Prevent items from being placed in the cargo of specific container types.

[*]Slot Blacklist
Prevent items from being attached to specific container slot types.

[*]Inventory Whitelist
Allow only whitelisted items to be stored in a specific container.

[*]Ignore Nesting Controls
Fine-tune whether nested restrictions are passed to parent containers:

[*]IgnoreNestingCarInventory
[*]IgnoreNestingCarAttachment
[*]IgnoreNestingItemInventory
[*]IgnoreNestingItemAttachment
[*]IgnoreNestingPlayerAttachment


[*]Real-time config update via Admin Menu (no restart required)
[*]No wipe required
[*]Lightweight and optimized caching system
[*]Must be used as a Client and Server mod




How it works


[*]Server loads rules from JSON
[*]Clients receive rules upon connection
[*]Rules are cached on the client side
[*]Admin can update rules in real-time
[*]Nested containers are evaluated with maximum efficiency
[*]Restrictions are recalculated only when the inventory changes


This ensures high performance even on large modded servers.
