WIP from Virtual Arsenal

Versión 1.0.6 published (https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5AAAD00F68FDF938-ARU-BETA/changelog)

[lucid fossil]

Awesome stuff, great work!

[fallen cradle]

Thx

[half summit]

Wow

[ivory raven]

great work is an understatement

[kind crown]

I like the look of this mate 😍

[granite kindle]

Looks amazing

[ivory raven]

how many hours would you say this took?

[fallen cradle]

too many tbh

I've tried to make it compatible with Vanilla arsenals in order to make it "automatic" but it's to many work and it would not end well, so i will contiune with this "custom" config for VA for now

[vale matrix]

Amazing

[unkempt quiver]

cool stuff

[wary iron]

Looking really nice🔥 but do you think you could make it so modded weapons and clothing would also work for this.

[fallen cradle]

they work with it, but you have to make the arsenal config, it's quite easy (here there is some documentation: https://gitlab.com/Spyke55/aru/-/wikis/Virtual Arsenal).

[wary iron]

Nicee thank you 👍

[grand knoll]

Holy sugar this is amazing

[strange hull]

hell yes

[atomic hatch]

Bohemian needs to include this in the base game

[wary iron]

Want to make a list of mods working with the VRarsenal but for some reasons you cant place the arsenal in the GM mode if you play with Mods dont know which mods are conflicting but there are some

[wise pecan]

Isn’t the 1.0 update supposed to have something like this ?

[wary iron]

like what?

[willow creek]

Woah!

And you like the 332nd? Omg I love you Mr/Ms Modder

[wary iron]

Im able to place the editable Prefab in the editor but I cant place it if im in Zeus

[fallen cradle]

The orange ones aren't the prefabs you must place in the world

[fallen cradle]

You are right something is wrong they aren't shown in the GM anymore ... 😦 I will check it tomorrow. thx for the feedback 😉

[willow creek]

Does this work already with mods or do they have to have this as a dependency

[fallen cradle]

You have some options:

1. "The faction mod" author includes ARU as dependency and creates the arsenal configs for it's faction.
2. **[BEST in my opinion] ** "The faction mod" author or anybody creates some addon that has 2 dependencys: "The Faction" and "ARU" mods. Then creates the arsenal configs.

[wary iron]

Making something for my server rn im first adding 1 mod with all Guns and items we want to have inside the VRArsenal so we have one mod with a lot of dependencies after that I could probably also made some standalone things because making this is really easy😄

[stoic burrow]

hopefully figure out something how to do virtual arsenal for the next major update

[wary iron]

Would it be possible to add an extra categorie for Silencers or attachments ?

[ivory raven]

I'm seeing incorrect item names there for my stuff

[wary iron]

Yeah you have to name them yourself maybe did some spelling mistackes😅

[fallen cradle]

it's not required to name it yourselfe. it should use the item default name

[fallen cradle]

You can add as many categories as you want.

[wary iron]

So I dont have to write anything inside the display name?

[fallen cradle]

yep no need, just like the ones i made

You can insert as many categories as you want but make sure to define the CategoryType. its the key for all 😉

[wary iron]

Is it possible to make his own Category type so it would work with the zeliks character mod?

Eould probably have to mod your ArsenalConfig.c Add new enums and add the zeliks loadout slots into EquivalentClothCategoryType right?

[fallen cradle]

Not for now. Thats something i've to think how to make modable. Because you could add the enum but there are some hardcoded stuff that will break.

[fallen cradle]

They are on GM but i don't know why if you search them by name doesn't appear. Filter by System and go to the last page

[wary iron]

Have you tried it whith mods added in bwcause when I add some mods in it will disapear

[wary iron]

@fallen cradle I know the conflicting mod for any reasons if you got the Night vision system which is a dependencie from TF matock uniforms added in the VR arsenal wont show in Zeus menu anymore so anything in Night vision system overrides the VR arsenal in Zeus menu could you have a look?

[fallen cradle]

ok, i will take a look into it. thx

[fallen cradle]

I've been looking into it and I don't understand why "Night Vision System" has this effect on GM. The mod doesn't touches anything related. So maybe its something in my side i have not finished to configure

[sinful hollow]

I confirm the same problem using NVS, once turned off it works again

[wary iron]

Yeah thats really weird I also thought why NVS my first gues was its would be something with zeliks character but I have no idea what the issue could be maybe you could ask the one that made nvs for advice

Its also weird because when your in the workbench and place the arsenal over the objetbrowser everything works perfecly

[fallen cradle]

WIP, this orange indicators will hep you know which categories have already something equipped.

[wise pecan]

Keep up the work

[hasty quiver]

^^

[idle vine]

Got me jumping up and down like a child

[wary iron]

@fallen cradle NVS does anything with SCR_PlacingEditorComponent If im trying to apply your Arsenal into this manualy it gets deleted maybe it helps for you to try to fix it ?

You did it with the config file tryed to do it direcly but NVS seems to delete the things you apply into System idk why it would do this

[fallen cradle]

ok i will take a look into it i didn't go to far tbh.

[wary iron]

I could even fix it with adding your arsenal to the Vehicle config 😂

Idk what the modder from NVS did but he aperently broke the whole system config file 😂

But it looks stupid now

[fallen cradle]

ok, then i will take a look into it and speak with Greg to tell him

[wary iron]

Yeah would prob be the best thanks😄

[languid venture]

Omg yes

I was expecting this when i first bought reforger, i love you (no homo)

[lucid sigil]

ikr? the familiar A3 GUI is very intuitive (and the pictures don't disappear leaving you wondering wtf you're hovering over)

[languid venture]

Yes, im loving it

[languid venture]

@fallen cradle This is not xbox compatible. Cannot move through it on controller

I can if i use the d-pad and a but it skips over everything and is ass. Pls fix

Also how do you access the teleport feature?

[sinful hollow]

There is link to documents he made in the mod description

[fallen cradle]

Yes i know, it is in the ToDo list

[languid venture]

Epic

[woeful solstice]

Not ideal but if you have a keyboard and muse you can always plug them in lmaoo, work more than fine on xbox

[languid venture]

Well yeah the KB&M works

[stoic burrow]

u probably need figure out something for the next update because there changing arsenal system in the next update

[fallen cradle]

i haven't test it yet but as the config is 100% mine it should not change so much. I will check it, i hope this weekend i can have some time with it. Thx for the hands up 😉

[fallen cradle]

Greg updated the mod and solved it. So now you may be hable to use Virtual Arsenal in GM with this mod

[wary iron]

Nicee😄 Btw do you have any plans on making Zeliks character mod working with your VRArsenal ?

[fallen cradle]

not for now, i need to solve other things first. Although as temporary workaround you can create a new Category as Storage and place all Zeliks related items there so you can pick them. Then you only need to move them to the slot using the vanilla inventory interface

[willow creek]

Does it work with mods?

[wary iron]

Yeah but you have to set them up first

[willow creek]

So it doesn't then

[wary iron]

Which mods would You like to be integrated?

[willow creek]

Preferably all of them. Zelik did this and was able to do it

[wary iron]

No thats not right in order to make clothing work with zeliks it also has to be set as a dependencie so the authors of the clothing mod also have to integrate zeliks charackter into theire mod here it is the same

[willow creek]

Negative. Zelik could have it so that even if it wasn't a dependency it would show up in his arsenal.

[wary iron]

Are we talking about the same mod when did Zeliks made an arsenal?

Can you send me the link then I havent seen it yet

[topaz ridge]

When I was asked if mine works with mods, I misunderstood what he was meaning. I do think I know a way to do it without dependencies. I have to do some testing first but, mod creators will still have to create a config in order to have it work correctly. You guys want it to work out of the box with mods and their isn't really a way to do that unless every mod uses the same structure, and that will never happen because people just wont ever do that.

[willow creek]

I know it takes time and effort. I also misunderstood and thought it worked without needing dependency that's myb

[fallen cradle]

Actually I found a way to use the vanilla arsenal so you dont have to do nothing if the faction is created correctly. Im doing some adjustments and testing. I hope to be able to update it soon

@wary iron @willow creek

[wary iron]

Youre the best nicee👍

[fallen cradle]

Published version 1.0.7 and 1.0.8: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5AAAD00F68FDF938-ARU-BETA/changelog

[stoic burrow]

how long has the virtual aresenal been out

[stoic burrow]

also when is controller support coming

[regal nimbus]

As a modder, how nice does this play with servers trying to plug and play? Does our equipment show up in your arsenal if we use Zeliks attachments mod or is that what you were just talking about not being able to do? Is there a guide on how to do it?

[fallen cradle]

since summer i think

[fallen cradle]

as a lot of people is demanding it maybe i will prioritize it more but i can't give you an estimated time.

[fallen cradle]

With the last update if you place some arsenal that inherits from "ArsenalBox_Base" it will have the Virtual Arsenal available with an UserAction.

[floral hatch]

what exactly is a "virtual arsenal"?

[fallen cradle]

This

For Bohemia it means another thing thou, for them is the functionality that allow items to spawn/despawn locally when opening arsenals

@regal nimbus the mod is not compatible with zeliks character slots mod yet. I have to improve a lot of code before to allow this kind of things. But you can place all zeliks related items in some storage category in order to add them in to your inventory and then place them where you want using vanilla inventory

[floral hatch]

Oh ok

[regal nimbus]

Roger, will see if I can figure it out.

[languid venture]

Very much still does not work for controller sadly

[fallen cradle]

yes, will at some point

as the arsenal itself says when opened this is a "Work in progress" in a mod called ARU BETA don't expect to have all functionalities at once 😅

[languid venture]

Yeah is all good, i inly said that cause i thought it would be fixed on the last update but it’s all good, take your time

[fallen cradle]

[fallen cradle]

This is currently published on Arma Reforger Experimental.

[sinful hollow]

is there a way, somewhere in the future, that we won't have to edit the arsenal in the Editor to include stuff from mods ? something we could modify as GM ?

the Editor is not friendly for too many people (including me, but with a tutorial I can get by)

[fallen cradle]

If that mod has the items in some faction arsenal you can use that arsenal and all will work fine without need to setup anyting on Workbench.

[sinful hollow]

ok thanks

[willow creek]

@mental vigil

[tranquil mirage]

This mod is astonishing 😍

[languid venture]

Compadidbility for controller, yesss

Only issue i found is you can’t select the pilots uniform and can’t access the vest section. I have once after a struggle

But other than that its beautiful

Also how would one access the manager? In private gm

[fallen cradle]

yes you can, you just need to unequip the cloth blocking it.

You can see the cloth blocking you to equip it with a red icon

[fallen cradle]

what manager?

[languid venture]

Yeah I’m silly the coveralls only use the shirt slot

[lucid oriole]

when will you add this mod to arma

[languid venture]

Its in arma

[languid venture]

The teleport manager i mean

[lucid oriole]

what is the name of this mod?

[languid venture]

ARU or Spyke

[fallen cradle]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5AAAD00F68FDF938-ARU-BETA

[fallen cradle]

You can find some info here:
https://gitlab.com/Spyke55/aru/-/wikis/PlayerTeleport

don't look into Virtual Arsenal or other pages because they are obsolete or will be for next update

[languid venture]

Thanks

[lucid oriole]

Thanks

[languid venture]

I lied about not being able to access the vests you can you just gotta get the promt on the left in line with one of the vests then go over

[fallen cradle]

yep thats known, because the focus and navigation is not finished

[languid venture]

Yeah all good, i figured it all out, pretty good for the early compatibility

[languid venture]

@fallen cradle So using this in my server right now and i can’t equip anything but the empty button works. Basically can take things off but can’t put things on. (No there is nothing blocking the item to equip it)

Is there a thing i gotta enable it to work?

The adding things to clothing works, like i can add maps and stuff

[fallen cradle]

Ok then its a bugg

Another guy told me but i wasnt hable to replicate the issue. Will try again

[fallen cradle]

Can you give me some info? With mods? Wich map? custom map? if it's a mission can you send me that mission?
I will compare with the other guy that told me, maybe i can find something

[languid venture]

Yeah with mods (CEN Carrier, GM Persistent Load outs, GM FX, Your mod, No Supply Arsenals, Disabled Building) It’s on Everon and not a mission

[fallen cradle]

ok so it's a vanilla mission world with no modifications made by you, only mods loaded, right?

[fallen cradle]

Wich game mode? Conflic or Game Master?

[languid venture]

GM

[languid venture]

Yeah

[fallen cradle]

Good news i've been hable to replicate the issue 👌

[languid venture]

Very cool, figure out a fix?

[fallen cradle]

not yet. Now i've to investigate

[languid venture]

Ver cool

[barren furnace]

This mod would be amazing for the KOTH mod

[long tiger]

I don’t know if anyone wrote about this, but the mod breaks the standard names of the game in different languages.
In addition to English and Spanish.

[fallen cradle]

well thats new. How i can reproduce that?

[grand knoll]

Yk if you ask me personally looks cooler

[long tiger]

Just change the language in the game

[fallen cradle]

Only ARU loaded?

[long tiger]

No, other mods are worth it. Now I will only test ARU

[long tiger]

Only ARU also breaks the translation

[fallen cradle]

Ok, thx will check it. 😉

[languid venture]

You end up doing a fix for the issue i found out?

[fallen cradle]

I found the issue but i don't know how to solve it. It's related with entities spawn and replication conflict with some scenarios. For some reason in GM, Conflict and other scenarios if i run those maps on dedicated server all my entities/spawn code doesn't work. But if i execute the same code on my test map and dedicated server it works. So i don't know when i will solve it because i don't understand it tobh 😅

[fallen cradle]

Yep i found this issue and solved, thx

[languid venture]

Ah well, im rooting for you anyway

[long tiger]

Okay, thanks, the mod is very good, especially for me

[fallen cradle]

I've solved the issue, now i have to clean up the code a bit and then i will publish the update. It will be this weekend or the next one.

Arkensor from BIS helped me and now i only need to clean all the mess i've done so far XD

[fallen cradle]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5EEB3B97BBFAAB52-ZeliksCharacter%2526ARUCompat

[fallen cradle]

@languid venture, @long tiger some people is using it on dedicated server (GM and Conflict) so seems to be solved. tell me if you see anything else 😉

[languid venture]

Will do

[long tiger]

@fallen cradle In principle, I didn’t see any problems, the only thing I had was a question about whether it was possible to somehow display the description of the clothes.

[fallen cradle]

Yep thats in the TODO list

[cinder gate]

this mod is a blessing with the current arsenal box fps problem 🙏

[hasty quiver]

Agreed, I had little to zero fps drop

[fallen cradle]

Thx, it's nice to see that people loves it. A lot of work still to be done 😉

[glacial ether]

Love what your doing with this mod, as soon as theres a function to load up mags were using it in our server

[fallen cradle]

Hi, thx . Still a lot to be done XD. What do you mean by "load up mags". do you mean change the current mag in the weapon muzzle?

[glacial ether]

Perhaps I set it up incorrectly but when I looked there was to way to put magazines in my inventory

[sharp hamlet]

There is a menu that pops up on the right side of the screen that allows you to do that

[sweet inlet]

@fallen cradle does the player teleport not work for Xbox?

[fallen cradle]

@sweet inlet Should work. What does not work? something related with the menu?

[sweet inlet]

@fallen cradle so like when I do the teleport menu and click on the player or zone it lights up orange but even after pressing ok multiple times it doesn’t do anything

[fallen cradle]

Ok i will take a look. Thx
