Stviri Loadout Manager

[crude grail]

Very Bare-bones loadout manager which captures all the items in a JSON file (modded items included).

Will continue working on this and add more features.

As it's still a WIP and the main focus are modded items, script might misbehave and spawn modded items like helmets sunglasses and weapon attachments back into containers such as backpacks, pouches and vests, i'm stil trying to figure out how to fix this.

Currently under testing phase, not recommended for usage on multi server infra as the script is only client side which means JSON files are not being saved server-side, so if a player saves on one server and joins another server with completely different mods and saves there JSON will get overwritten.

This is temporary just for quick tests, will implement multiple loadout saving and server-side JSON storage later on.

Testing this mod would be highly appreciated.

The problem of some items not being saved properly in inventories is something vanilla, it happens with many mods even when using the vanilla saving system since 1.6

[crude grail]

with vanilla it has issues with saving items in modded containers, such as helmets and etc, they do not get saved at all, this mod does save them, but has issues sometimes loading them properly, it might load perfectly, or it might load those items in different containers, for example if you wear a mask which is inside the helmet, if you load that saved loadout it sometimes puts that mask in a different container, because modded items have different slots than vanilla, i'm trying to find a working solution to this atm

So since it's client-side it will not work on console and is a potential security problem

[crude grail]

yes, it will not work on consoles, since this mod barely works as it should right now i have it on test branch until i finalize it to a working form, what security problems do you have in mind if you can share please

[small junco]

I wonder how likely it is that I can put something in the json that will crash the server when read

[crude grail]

oof, you're right lmao i'm taking this down

[forest valve]

Hey i've just tested the mod it looks like some items(not all) that are placed in helmet slots goes into pouches upon loading the loadout although if i had something saved inside pouches doesn't load

maybe we will have a breakthrough here, apart from that and i saw you described it it works kinda fine, just whenever other player loads their saved equipement it gives a popup for me as well

[crude grail]

yes, loading is a bit hit and miss as different mod items have different slots, i'll dig deeper into this

[forest valve]

yeah, also it seems to sometimes add items and give other items like just now it spawned me mag for 5.56 instead of 7.62 xd

[crude grail]

i'll get that fixed, however i do not recommend using this mod on your server atm, as bacon pointed out as this is only client side someone might inject json files spawn shitloads of prefabs 😄 so be careful about that, i'm planning to re-work it so that it saves and loads only from the server side

[limpid sedge]

What is with the IG_ prefixes?

[crude grail]

i used quite a bit of help from AI as i barely have any experience with enfusion script, it decided to use those prefixes to avoid collisions with other mods helper functions, why IG? who knows lmao

[limpid sedge]

Gotcha. It looked as if our code was thrown into AI tbh, at least that's what some of us were thinking based on experiance in the software industry for our real world work

[crude grail]

Understandable, but I'm not trying to rip off anyone's hard work here, i just decided to make this mod with the help of AI because me and a couple of friends were having a bad time playing on our own server not being able to save our loadouts

[small junco]

In my experience the only good way to tag scripts is to prefix them with the mod GUID instead of a couple letters nobody knows wtf they mean

[limpid sedge]

That's not a bad idea

[limpid sedge]

Oh trust me, we didn't think that-- that was obvious by the code. It was more of it screaming that AI was being used and may have mentioned one of our mods ha.

It just caught our interest. But we will second what bacon said, def not something that should be running on client side at all, else injection, and bad bad things.

[crude grail]

yep, i was planning to re-work it but now i'll just probably take it down since the loadout editor/manager mods like bacons and yours are good to go

[limpid sedge]

Were you running into roadblocks on having the server handle things?

[crude grail]

Yes, I'm not familiar with the components, easiest way for me was to just slap these actions onto the base arsenal and let client handle everything, it was fine for me and my friends to use on our server but it's obviously a horrible method for a server with a larger playerbase

[forest valve]

@crude grail from testing today seems that notifications are cleared but it seems like the script switches players equipement randomly and tends to even give random stuff randomly just giving info for now idk for sure if it is this mod but it is the most likely

[crude grail]

which other mods are you using if you don't mind me asking? i've tested this out with RHS/WCS arsenal items so far

[forest valve]

rhs + wcs, dark gru g3's or something like that, rayzis

lemme explain how it is exactly: when we load slots it is fine but then when we go onto the map and for example start attacking points we tend to get like Arma reforger randomizer, something is switching our equipement randomly

the mostly culprit is that mod from our experience because from before when you loaded the loadout it gave sometimes random stuff to pouches, and now it seems it is just full randomizer ;v

[crude grail]

so you're getting random items in your inventory during gameplay?

[forest valve]

yes, even more just now it cleared all containers and gave me russian radio (im in blufor) and ak mag xdd

[crude grail]

that's strange, this mod can only trigger actions from the arsenal box, nothing else can call the script during gameplay 😄

[forest valve]

hmm it might've been someone loading loadout in base or idk. We also ran by dead russian soldiers so it might've taken them as arsenal? no idea

[crude grail]

not unless you guys looted and saved

[forest valve]

no clue then, we will check tmr without your mod just to make sure if it will be fine, will tell u bout it
