As of 0.76, loadUniform, loadVest, and loadBackpack seem to return a scalar corresponding to the percentage of the load, and not the mass sum of contained items. I'm not sure if it's the intended behaviour. - [[User:AgentRev01|AgentRev]] 05:34, 22 August 2013 (CEST)

It appears to be so, however there are some inconsistencies to clarify. I've designed a script to get weight of uniform, vest and backpack based on their load percentage and maxload according to config. Only backpack provides maximumLoad value. vest and uniform have mass. I can only assume the mass is max mass when fully loaded.

<code style="display: block">_uniformConfigMass = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> uniform player >> "ItemInfo" >> "mass");
_uniformMassKg = loadUniform player * _uniformConfigMass / 10;
_vestConfigMass = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> vest player >> "ItemInfo" >> "mass");
_vestMassKg = loadVest player * _vestConfigMass / 10;
_backpackConfigMass = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> backpack player >> "maximumLoad");
_backpackMassKg = loadBackpack player * _backpackConfigMass / 10;
hint str [_uniformMassKg, _vestMassKg, _backpackMassKg];</code>

To test add a single mag to every container it should show the same weight. The problem is with some containters it works and with some it doesn't. I assume some config values must be screwed up somewhere. No idea where loadXXXX commands get their values from, but it smells insects. -KK
