Van's Stuff Collection (No Dependencies)

Description
A collection of various items I've made.

Electric Arc Lighter: An electric arc lighter. It uses 9V batteries as a power source. Animated lid opens and closes with turn on/off action. When turned on, has an animated electrical arc with sound. Can ignite items as long as it is powered and turned on. Orange and olive drab color variants, more colors and custom variants to come in future updates. In a survival situation, a reliable way to make fire is critical!

Massive thanks to Spurgle's tutorials, without which I'm confident I never would have learned this stuff. Thanks to Zelik for remaking the model I'd gotten and optimizing it for DayZ. Thanks to Munghard for inspiration from the Zippo. Thanks to the Expansion team for the propane torch, which helped me learn the scripting for this lighter. Thanks to Vodevik for some ObjectBuilder info. This was actually my first mod idea, but I had a LOT to learn before I could finally make it!


Riding crop: two variants, simple and fancy. I've never seen horses in DayZ. Have you? Wonder what these were used for before the apocalypse? Maybe these will go well with Arrakis' Dongs... :D


KaBar: a combat and survival knife which is twice as durable (and probably like 10 times as cool looking...) as the standard knife. Tired of your basic knives getting dull after shaving off 3 pieces of bark? Here you go! Tough as nails!

Katana: A basic katana I made while learning.

Balloons: A set of collectible balloons in assorted colors. Hiya, Georgie! Do you want a balloon?

Come and join us on the Ragnarok PvE servers for fun adventures!

Hi Martyn,

I have to decline your request to repack.

"Reducing mod count by repacking does nothing other than putting you behind on updates, prevents people from querying for specific mods when server surfing, forces people to redownload content they might already be subscribed to, and does nothing for performance (a rumor passed around by server owners)." -Wardog

Having 70+ mods on your list is exactly the same as having 69 mods on your list with 1 repacked into your server pack.

If you'd like to add textures for the lighter, you're welcome to make your own mod with a dependency on mine. I would be interested in seeing what you come up with, if you do! :)

Hi Van, can i possibly repack just the lighter into the a server pack server list is hitting 70+ so would like to condense, this would also be so i can add some textures, all credit will be noted and given and direct link to this original mod used, server is not monetized and if it becomes you will be notified straight away.

server in question is called Time2Die

we massively respect the community spirit and mod driven game and understand if its a NO.

Hey Scorp,

I would suggest just using the mod as is and not spawning the items you don't want on your server, unless you're saying the 30 or so MB difference will actually cripple your server, in which case, there are other issues to address. A decent server will show absolutely no difference between this mod and one with just the lighter and KA-BAR. So, it really should make no difference to you, and it would just be extra work for me.

I don't know how much modding you've done, but, like I said, it's kind of a hassle to have a bunch of different combinations of the same things published. I had individual items published before, but server owners complained that everything should be in one mod because adding multiple mods "made their mod list too long", etc.

If you choose to use it, have fun! :)

@VanTheMan the only items I am interested in it the lighter and maybe the ka bar.. Feel feel to message me

Hey Scorp,

I kept everything in one mod when I removed all the dependecy-related items from my other mod because the thing I mainly hear from server owners is "We don't want to add a mod with just one item." or something like that.

It's a bit of a hassle to have a bunch of different versions of the same thing posted, but if you'd really like to use it, but can't spare the ~30-40MB difference that just using this mod would cause, then I could consider publishing just the lighter.

If it's a matter of you just not wanting to have the other items on your server, you can always just not spawn them or add them to your types file.

Let me know. Thanks. :)

Can you do a mod of just the lighter?
