Make Backpack have less slots

[Arthurian Titan]

Hi! I'm trying to make a mod that reduces the quantity of slots on a backpack, however I'm unable to accomplish it. I would appreciate some help in how to reduce the quantity of slots, the backpack interface changes, but it continues with the same quantity of slots. My modmain will go attached here. I would appreciate any help!

Hi,

your  mod looks very complex and i am not into it. but why did you edit the widgets/inventorybar if you just wanna change the backpack widget setup?

your widgetsetup_Base looks good, did you receive the testing print? i thought we must re-initialize the backpacks with the new setup function because they are already setup with the old function. 

have you tried to put more print messages into your code to debug what runs and what not? is it working on serverside/host already? and is your issue with the more slots just visuell or are they also usable as default (maybe only the design didn't change)

i know that might not help you to find the bug/problem ...

Umm... why? I tried to make the Chef Pouch have 8 slots, so it should be pretty similar. From what I've learnt, you can't use a AddPrefabPostInit

Code:

containers = GLOBAL.require("containers")

local params = {}

params.spicepack =
{
	widget =
    {
        slotpos = {
			Vector3(-162, -75 * 0 + 114, 0), -- You have to do it this way since you can't really use a "for" loop outside of a function
			Vector3(-162, -75 * 1 + 114, 0), -- Each one represents one slot
			Vector3(-162, -75 * 2 + 114, 0),
			Vector3(-162, -75 * 3 + 114, 0),
			Vector3(-162 + 75, -75 * 0 + 114, 0),
			Vector3(-162 + 75, -75 * 1 + 114, 0),
			Vector3(-162 + 75, -75 * 2 + 114, 0),
			Vector3(-162 + 75, -75 * 3 + 114, 0),
		},
        animbank = "ui_backpack_2x4", -- Setting the bank
        animbuild = "ui_backpack_2x4", -- And the build
        pos = Vector3(-5, -70, 0),
    },
    issidewidget = true,
    type = "pack",
}

containers.MAXITEMSLOTS = math.max(containers.MAXITEMSLOTS, params.spicepack.widget.slotpos ~= nil and #params.spicepack.widget.slotpos or 0)

local containers_widgetsetup_base = containers.widgetsetup
function containers.widgetsetup(container, prefab, data)
    local t = params[prefab or container.inst.prefab]
    if t ~= nil then
        for k, v in pairs(t) do
            container[k] = v
        end
        container:SetNumSlots(container.widget.slotpos ~= nil and #container.widget.slotpos or 0)
    else
        containers_widgetsetup_base(container, prefab, data)
    end
end

You could just modify this to do what you want.
