SearchInventory

Description
Many modded servers increase player inventory and inventory slots significantly over what vanilla DayZ has. It’s not uncommon to have inventory space in the thousands with nested pouches/containers and no easy way to locate an item other than scrolling through it all, looking at all your attachments and open every pouch and medkit to find what you’re looking for.
Many servers also have traders and ability to grow and sell crops. There is no easy way in DayZ to transfer items between containers (to load up your car/heli for example) other than individually click and drag each item.
If you loot items with inventory (such as clothing) DayZ will randomly put items in there and when you sell that item to a trader, you just lost whatever was in that item’s inventory.
You have no easy way to know aggregate things about your inventory (such as: how much ammo do I have left on me)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reasons I created this mod:
1) Provide an easy and reliable way to locate items within your own inventory without having to scroll and open every pouch/container and attachment known to man
2) Provide useful information about your inventory such as numbers for total ammo, medication, list of damaged/ruined items, etc.
3) Display whether an item is empty or not, so you don't have to inspect every item individually before selling it (To avoid losing the inventory inside the item being sold).
4) Provide an easy way to transfer items from your own inventory to an open container in the vicinity without having to click and drag each item individually
5) Provide an easier way to "clean up" in servers with traders and trashcans as many players simply drop crap on the ground, often next to the trashcan because they don't want to individually click and drag items to the trashcan
6) Because I wanted to spin preview objects without being an admin on a server :D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Features:
Default Keybind to bring up the menu is “O”
Dynamically updating list of items (item in your hands will turn green, dropping or moving am item will remove it from the list)
Info panel gives total items of that kind along with total stacked items (like ammo, money, sticks, etc.)
Search bar and categories for easy filtering
Location tells you where in your inventory that particular item is (Your player name will be the location for items you are wearing)
Damaged tab gives all the items which are not pristine.
Items with inventory in them (Not Empty) and Ruined items are displayed at all panels
Left Double-Click on any item from the main list will bring that item to your hands (If your hands are empty or if the mod can swap the item in your hands)
Multiple Right Double-Click options:
1) 2-RightClicks: Drop Items to the ground
2) 2-RightClicks: Item assigned to QuickSlot1
3) 2-RightClicks: Move items to Container
Moving to containers will only be enabled if the container has cargo space and the game allows the item you are selecting to be moved to the target container. The mod will automatically update with the name of the container and turn the text green once a valid container has been found, otherwise it won’t transfer any items even if you click.
Bonus: Around Trashcans and Barrels any item in the vicinity/ground can be moved into the trashcan/barrel by simply double-right-clicking on the item. No more excuses to clean up trader zones ;)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
The options for dropping items on the ground or moving them to a container need to be checked every time the menu is opened as a “Are you sure?” feature to avoid mis-clicking and dropping/moving items accidentally.
The mod disables item splitting only if they are on the ground and there is an open trashcan/barrel in the vicinity so trash items (such as bones) can be moved into the trashcan without being split
This mod should have almost zero performance impact on any server. The only thing which needs server action/validation is the moving of items. All scanning and displaying is done on the client.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation: This is a "normal" DayZ mod. This means that it needs to be added to the "-mod=" parameter of the server and it will run on both the server and the client.
This is NOT a server-side only mod which get installed in "-serverMod="
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NO Repacking allowed for this mod (Please respect this and save us all the paperwork).
I have based the look and feel of my mod on VPPAdminTools and even though the underlying code is different, I don't want to create confusion or bad expectations. VPPAdminTools does not allow repacking and I want to respect the wishes of the creators even if this mod is only vaguely derivative.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to give credit to the amazing work of the vpp-admin-tools dev(s) for their mod and code. I used their item manager as reference (I am sure many will notice the similarities in the UI).

Doesn't display all items, in some clothes in weapon and knife slots it doesn't show
Am I stoopid or can I just sort by Location? I want to sort by itemname instead
is this possible?

Nope, it's not for admins (even though admins can use it for themselves). It's for everyone. It only shows what is on you. Nothing special, nothing hidden, nothing else except whatever is equipped on your own person.
It gives you an easier, more organized way to look for things, including a search bar so you don't have to sit there and scroll 15 minutes to find where the DayZ Gods decided to deposit that one item you looted.
If you hit the help button it will tell you the different functions (the screenshot in this page also shows those too).

Hopefully that helps.

This looks like an admin menu, I'm assuming it isn't but I figured I'd ask.
Is this for admins only?

@Not Cheating At All How do you override in the config.cpp?

I think he means changing the default key server-side. I would like that aswell.

@TTV-Streetkilln
Yes, you can change the keybind to anything you want. The mod has its own tab under keybinds "SearchInventory". By default it's "O", but you can change it to whatever you like.
