Need a bottomless bag of holding? Tired of getting loaded down till you can't even walk? Tired of filling up your inventory till you can't pick up anything more? Unzip and put the files it in your override, then in game use the console command "dm_spawnitem bigbagofholding". The bag acts as a merchant to hold all your stuff, buys and sells everything for 1gp. Double click the bag in your inventory to open the merchant.
Note this item uses tag based scripting.
New version does not use any hak pak resources which I think is what caused some problems in the previous version.

I have no experience with writing modules. I have the Diamond version with the 1.69 patch.
I first tried your override only files with some other installed override only types. and it seemed to have no effect.
I restored the original override folder and then installed just your three files.
After DebugMode=1, dm_spawnitem bigbagofholding (bag appeared near PC), DebugMode=0, I could pick up the bag into PC inventory; double-clicking the bag caused the PC to ?cast-a-spell (blue ring around the PC) but nothing else seemed to happen.
Any suggestions to try?
Rusty,
I think I just figured out the problem you had, I hadn't realized it but the base item type I used was from a hak, CEP 2.2 probably - Miscellaneous Medium 2*. I'll put a up a new version.
that's good to hear, but why 1 charge per use for a bag of holding? I gave it unlimited. like most of the items.

I got this working using the utilities .erf... thankye...
I think my problem was that your big bag of holding item, isn't an item that my modules recognised ...the command had no item to spawn in and/or use as a base ....
.. anyway I created an item in a tester module with the tag and a 1ch/use prop... simple and effective (as were all of your items in that pack).. does what it says...
I would vote a ten, but I think there is scope for improvement in regards to persistence/database & cross-module transfers of items (useful if say, playing the dreamcatcher series, or other series of multiple module stories)... also if this were implemented in a PW/Multi-player environment, EVERYBODY would access the same store/merchant object...
For a single player single-module campaign though, I can't fault it... even if I do still like my own submission more :) :)

Yep.. I've got both SoU and HotU, patched all the way up to 1.69...
The link seems to be broken (it goes to a project page that is "deleted or does not exist" ) ...
I placed the three files into a clean override folder, tried the dm command and got nothing.. logged in as a dm, nothing "new" in the pallette matching "bigbagofholding"... started a new/trial module in the toolset, couldn't find a the bag .... placed the three files into a .hak, checked the hakpak content for scripts in a test module and got nothing, there is no viable script ...
So for me, with no link to your work, no viewing of your code, no item in the game spawned using the DM command, no scripts in the toolset.. I'm really sorry but I can't vote for this... I have nothing to vote for ?! .... ... Is anyone else getting this to work ? ... What am I doing wrong ?
I'd really like to see how someone else went about implementing the merchant/bagofholding thing ...
