Gmod Pocket System without DarkRP has been designed for those who want a simple minimalist storage system. It's a storage system that makes up for the shortcomings of the DarkRP pocket system but can also work without DarkRP, as far as optimization is concerned, it doesn't download the entire contents of the pocket every time you pick up an item, and it's also smaller than my inventory system. Coded independently from any other system you can also make it work without the DarkRP gamemode. So you don't need DarkRP to make it work.

The system has a minimalist database that allows players when they come back to find their pocket on their character with its content.

This script does the job of the pocket you already know. I've made sure that old habits aren't broken.

Unlike my other inventory system, this one is a swep pocket that you can drop with its contents.

Gmod Pocket System is a sweep that you can drop with its contents.
A more attractive and intuitive menu will open with the Reload key in a fluid way. With the possibility to bind a key (Default P for Pocket).
The left click will allow you to store inside the objects you are aiming at.
And the right click will allow you to drop the stored objects in the order where you look.

Class name of the weapon : norda_pocket

So if it is not equipped, you will not be able to store or open it.

From the config file you can choose to default it at spawn time. For those who want only certain jobs to spawn with a pocket on DarkRP and not everyone, you will need to add it to the job sweep list in the JobRelated.lua file in the same way as your old pocket system.

An option in the configuration file will allow you to give the pocket to the players when they connect.
You can also distribute it via the jobrelated.lua file or in other ways via the spawnmenu or other.

-Are you looking to replace one by one the DarkRP modules that make up your server? The pocket is one of them.
-You want to correct the optimization problems of the DarkRP pocket ? This one does not correct it, it replaces it completely.
-You want to leave DarkRP but you are looking for a new pocket system that doesn't upset your players' habits with the old pocket ? And that works ?

The script works well alone. But did you know that it is possible to have a pocket for each character in Gmod Character Creator System.

The items created via Norda Pack Items are automatically added to the whitelist.

- Client + server side:
Player:GetMaxPocket() = Returns the max storage capacity in the pocket. The max capacity is defined in the configuration file by the variable: cfg.Pocket_max.
player:GetPocketItems() = Return the table of the list of objects stored in the pocket.

- On the server side:
Player:StoreInPocket(class,qt,mdl,clip2) = Allows to store an entity with only the class name of that one.

Player:AddInPocket(ent,quantity) = Store an existing entity on the gmod server map.

Player:DropFromPocket(id) = Drop an item stored in the pocket.

Player:SavePocket() = Force save the pocket

First of all my pocket is not dependent on the gamemode to work.

Secondly, on a practical level, I don't know if I'm missing an API in DarkRP (feel free to inform me), but the DarkRP pocket is not made to work on a server, you are forced to spawn an object to be able to store it in your pocket as an entity and all its table. That's all I want to avoid and have managed to avoid in my systems.
For the DarkRP pocket we have player:addPocketItem(entity) knowing that every time the pocket is opened the client is constantly downloading its own storage and it's a huge amount of information, you'll observe it with little freeze and accompanied by spikes in the net_graph if you have a lot of items in your darkrp pocket.

With my inventory or pocket nothing like that, we have: player:StoreInPocket("class name here", quantity), we store only the class name and the quantity.
My system transmits the information to the client its two variables directly without spawn anything.
And when the client opens my inventory, it doesn't download its content again. This means that whatever the quantity of objects it will not change anything in terms of bandwidth and CPU whether it is 10 or 1000.
Since it has already received the information in the form of a small text from the last object. And not as an entity table. The net_graph 3 command will allow you to see this and observe the difference which is major.
