TLDR; Adds jamming to small arms and crew served weaponry.

For the nerds:
This adds an onWeaponFired event handler that checks the muzzle types and spawns a random number. If that number lands on the jam number, it jams the current cartridge, forcing you to press R to pull the charging handle to clear.

The default (and current) jam chance is .005%, and in future updates, will fluctuate based off of terrain wetness, weather, how much it has shot, etc...

Does this automatically apply to all weapons or only base game guns at the moment

This works with anything right now

For sure, but I want to handle it a bit differently from small arms/open air weaponry. Just more so a technical aspect. Right now, any weapon will jam outside of launchers/m203/gp25.

Bug Report)

  • To clear malfunction your character using the bolt release (not realistic) better option would be using the charging handle
  • sometimes you can get ghosts mags
#

@valid shard

#

OK I'll check into those for the next update.

past patrol
#

So update on the issue of it not using the charging handle. So it uses it for the first malfunction but every after it’s the bolt release

valid shard
#

Another issue I noticed in testing was that any weapon without a clear animation loses the entire magazine/box attached. An example of this is the M2 .50 on the jeep/hmmwv. Since there's no animation of pulling the charging handle (to my knowledge), it replaces the entire box.

Does it work on Xbox?

Yes

wow just what we needed, time for me to check it out!

unkempt flicker
#

that reminds me, this would go well with the L85 mod...

past patrol
#

After using the mod I’m now understanding why you wanna remove the function from vehicles lol

valid shard
#

Lol definitely

i tested the mod, and here is what i think:
It is great! a simple application for an advanced mechanic that games rarely have, if there were some more variables such as weapon type, barrel heat, and weapon age/condition this would be amazing, will 100% be using this mod all of the time, i wish devs did something like this for vanilla

lofty violet
#

I have shot like so many rounds and have not seen the jamming once yet

hybrid oak
#

Very nice!
Was already waiting for something like this.
Some fun condition i was thinking about for this: Reload ( R ) will have lower chance to un-jam and need to be pressed multiple times.
However if you hit/smash the jammed weapon against something wall/stone/wood depending on the surface you hit it against it will un-jam much faster.
Would be really fun to have some mechanics like this.

Just a question our server log looks like this every time a weapon shoots just wondering if it will overload the log with the information when we have more than 30 players online is there a way to remove this line or something so its not showing up in the log

you clean an maintain your weapon well 😆

0.005% chance is very low but you don't like it to happen very often.
Maybe increase chance whenever a weapon is burst fired for a longer duration.

Like the description states, it is completely random right now just to add something for jamming. It'll have improved functionality in the coming days.

#

So this also means you can entirely get away with no jams if you're lucky. Consider it a luck stat :]

#

Hotfix released for the debug message

lofty violet
#

Did the update make it where it will jam more in different conditions

@valid shard any update on the progress of removing jamming from vehicles and switching the animation for unjamming from the bolt release to the charging handle?

cerulean wasp
#

brooo that is the mods we need ! Lovely idea

#

But if that happen to AI will they know how to unjam ?

valid shard
valid shard
cerulean wasp
#

Oh so this cant happen to them ? Ok good then cause they already dont know how to reload a mounted gun

river citrus
cerulean wasp
#

No to me the way he said it make me understand that it cant happen to AI just because they wouldnt understant

river citrus
#

How does that make sense?

cerulean wasp
#

You weird bro, really

#

That perfectly make sense that they make it player only for the very reason that AI would be blocked with gun jammed just like they are blocked when out of ammo in a mounted weapon

river citrus
#

What are you waffling about? It's not player only?

cerulean wasp
river citrus
#

What😭

#

You said and I quote "oh so this can't happen to them? Ok" this means you believe the jamming feature won't happen to ai. Well it does as he said clear and what you misunderstood.

cerulean wasp
#

well to me "this mod is for player only" make it clear that its for player only, not AI 😄

I feel like we are both blind people trying to communicate with hand gestures lol

Jammed IRL.

I'm looking into improving the logic this week and removing the logic from vehicles. Expect an update.

past patrol
valid shard
#

Most likely won't be done as that relies on changing animations

#

And you guys are still carrying it on? Abit pathetic

Please quit trying to instigate an argument.

I don't know but making sly comments like that is just pure hypocrisy. Stop blocking up this chat aswell

Guys this thread is about jamming. Let's leave it that way.

#

@valid shard brother I have a question

valid shard
#

Then just ask it brother

tulip bolt
#

Do u plan on adding like cocking button like in dayz u can press y to cock/charge the charging handle nd hold it to reload

valid shard
#

No, those are all animations and systems. If BI wants to add that (and jamming) later to reforger, then they will. I'm just a programmer.

Is there an unjam key?

#

@valid shard is it possible to disable jamming on crew served weapons

#

We love to use this mod but it ruins the apaches and miniguns

sly dragon
rancid light
#

any update on this mod?

hybrid marsh
#

Would be good take off the jamming from the big guns, sometimes some vehicles dont have more mags for be abble to press R to Reload/jamming and you got stuck, Its better only in light guns

hybrid marsh

#

I had to get rid of the mod…:( they conflict too much with armor and air

valid shard
#

I'll get an update put together for this

WOOOOOOOOOOOH

I broke everything.

Development on this is basically back seated as we work on bigger projects for the Friday night games we host. Stat logging to databases, an AAR system, etc..

I dont have an eta for it right now guys, but I can at least get the current version updated to work well with 1.2.1.

hybrid marsh
#

Ok

valid shard
#

Ok I locked in just for you @hybrid marsh.

  • Removed jamming from vehicles
    • Only primary and secondary weapons will jam
  • Added a fluctuating jamming chance based off of water factors
  • Added weapon deterioration
    • Weapons jam more after they've been submerged in water
    • Weapons jam more after they've been in rain
    • Weapons slowly jam less when they're out of rain and dry off

I'm open to adjusting default jamming values to specific weapons if anyone wants to provide ideas with proof lol.

New mod coming up on the workshop.

scarlet rain

valid shard
#

It'll work with everything by default. Anything in primary or secondary slots. I didn't check the 2nd primary slot tho. Let me test that rq.

scarlet rain
#

Fantastic! You are awesome!

valid shard
#

Yeah okay it works fine for all weapons, to include mods, in both "primary" slots. Your seconday slot also jams if submerged.

also cant load it in a GM ether

valid shard
#

I'll get a quick fix out

#

Fixed. Update your mod.

stiff zinc
#

ok

#

works now'

#

mite want to up the chance wall full auto i went throw 15 mags and didnt jam at all but other then that it works great @valid shard

valid shard
#

Yeah I reduced the default jam chance.

#

Would you prefer more chance to jam the more you use the weapon?

stiff zinc
#

yeah i just did 30 mags in the rain and didn't jam once

#

also dont think the m16 carbine can jam

scarlet rain
#

Do you think it would be possible to add settings in like GM or a JSON in the profile folder for being able to allow us to set our own chances? I think this would be cool as then we could set them how we want and you wouldn't have to hardcode all of it into the mod itself. May not be possible, but would be cool. 🙂

Not sure, I have not played with it yet, but I will be soon.

Yep

#

And yeah, in testing, the values are bit too safe. I'll get an update out for more jamming.

#

#

Update pushed that makes it a little less forgiving

stiff zinc
#

i think its a bit to muck now i got 7 jams in 4 mags @valid shard

valid shard
#

With rain on or in water?

Or just by default?

#

Ooooooo I think I see the problem. Fixed. Update and yell at me.

stiff zinc
#

no rain no water

How did you spawn? The player entity is never null.

I haven't been able to replicate it in tools but I'll check later.

conflict pve,respawn players by the vallina menus.

#

only had these errors,others working fine.

All weapons

#

Regular rain shouldnt be that big of a problem for most service weapons, but maybe if the character crawls alot in the mud? Soldiers are taught to keep their weapon from touching the ground when crawling, but shit happens and mud splashes.

#

Also suppressors should increase the jamming rate and durability burn

#

Last thing I would add is a server owner configurable multiplier setting like ACE does for example with the missionheaders in config so that everyone can adjust this to their liking.

cloud wraith
#

What is the current jam rate? Curious

scarlet rain
#

tanaKa, this is continuous in the console while server is up, there are more, but I just grab a small snippet.

I'll get a fix out later today

Right, if there was a way to track weapon type along with some of the previously mentioned factors it'd be nice but unfortunately I think that'd require a ton of scripting

This mod is a script and it will constantly have to run to check to see if the parameters are met.

do ai know how to unjam weapons?
