Fallout 2 - Car trunk space?

Z

First time out of the vault
Hi =).

I'd just like to know how much you can actually stuff into your car trunk, as I simply put everything in, which I'm not directly using from both sulik's and my own inventory... That's 33 inventory slots, weighting rougly 250kgs (several weapons, ammo, booze, junk, dynamite, fruits - everything).

On fallout wiki I read that it has 22 cubic feet of inventory space. But as items are not having a stat for size, I don't really know what's that supposed to tell me :o.

Thanks for helping =).
 
Items do have size even though it's not visible in the game. You can view size and capacity numbers in the official mapper and maybe some other item/proto editors.
 
I've figured out recently that there's option in sfall mod to display the size of items. Both weight and size numbers will appear in the same line on inventory screen.
 
The trunk can carry 250 (unit, size, whatever?)...now a beer is 1, and a rock is 1, 10mm Sub machine gun is 3, power armor is a 15, etc.
 
Yeah, as said above, each item proto contains a 'size' value that appears to be unused. I tried to make it work on the players inventory with no sucess, to make it impossible to carry - for exmaple - 10 miniguns, or 15 sets of metal armor (which is silly IMO)

If anyone knows how to make it work i'd love to know.
 
Josan12,
according to the changelog, all you need is sfall 2.16a or higher:

v2.16a
[...]
Added an option to limit inventory by space as well as weight
Click to expand...

These are lines from configuration file, pretty much self-explanatory:

Code: 
;These options place a limit on the size of the objects a critter can carry, as well as weight
;Set the mode to 0 to disable, 1 to apply to pc only, 2 to apply to the pc and party members, or 4 to apply to all critters
;Add 8 to use the critters extra unused stat instead of for CritterInvSizeLimit for critters other than dude_obj
;i.e. STAT_unused - 10
CritterInvSizeLimitMode=3
CritterInvSizeLimit=200
 
I've been away from FO modding for a while and must have missed that sweet little update to sfall.

Thanks valcik :ok:

Holy shit, this is cool - no more NPC mules.

Is this gone? Can't find the option.
 
@burn:
I'm pretty sure that this option is still present in sfall 3.3; so if you're utilizing sfall 2.16 or higher, simply try adding those two lines in your ddraw.ini file and you're good to go.

Oh, I got the impression those lines were for enabling the limits, not for displaying sizes. Indeed, they do both.
Alas, that's not what I wanted it for. I was hoping to see the sizes without enabling the limits. (Because I was actually concenred about car truck space, like the original poster)
