Secondly, is a complete mystery to me. OffTopic's thread only mentions the "basic unit" being "Tiny Pocket" as a base of volume 1. I'd like to imagine that it's the actual "number of pockets" but whenever I compare with other stock items in the editor that value is in the double-digits (suggesting another bitfield sum?)

Also, the pocket order/distribution in that thread seems to mention only vests and leg-rigs, which begs the question : Is there a code-related reason which prevents backpacks and combat packs from taking pocket attachments? Like specific item classes and behaviors, etc?

Then... I want to be able to add up to 4 small pockets and 1 large pocket, but they're obviously not the same size.
How do I calculate the sum total of to reflect that?
(31 gives me my "five pockets", but doesn't help differentiate between types)

Vests:
	1	2	3	4	5	11 	11
	6	7	8	9	10	12	12

Leg Rigs:
	1	2
	3	4
	5	5

Combat Pack:
	1	2
	3	4
	5	5
	6	6
	7	7

Backpack:
	1	5	9	9
	2	6	10	10
	3	7	11	11
	4	8	12	12

I added the extra info to that tutorial Silversurfer. It shouldn't make too much of a difference though, the fact they exist in means that the MOLLE combat/backpacks can be created in the same way as Rigs/Vests.

The only difference would be the number of pockets available and selecting the right LBE class.

Objective 1: Create ILBE Gen II Main Ruck (3 Large Backpack pockets, options for All Molle on : 4 Small pockets and 1 Large pocket)

Objective 2: Create ILBE Gen II Assault Pack (2 Combat Pack pockets, options for Small Molle on 4 Small pockets) Combo with Main Ruck

Objective 3: Create a Medium-sized canteen-like item that has all the same behaviors, but has a larger water capacity. Shouldn't be too hard to adapt from the existing canteen. (STI to come later once testing is conclusive)

The problem you will have here is that there are no Big MOLLE items/attachment points, so you'll either have to create them or be happy with small/Medium MOLLE items being attached. Same goes for Combat Pack Pockets.

I opened up the xml editor to see if it was being picked up, and items 1706 and 1707 don't seem to show up there either. But they are in the XML files Items.xml and their classes are defined in LoadBearingEquipment.xml, no problem there.
