OSWS Squad Accessible Backpack

[stoic bone]

The goal of the mod is to bring back the feature from previous Arma games to access friendly unit's backpacks.

As is, the settings can be adjusted to allow more than just Squad/Group members to access each other's packs.

Compatibility versions for modded packs will be made.

[tough chasm]

Pretty sweet ngl

[white yoke]

sort of nuts that this game launched without simple important shit like this. 🫡

[gentle pelican]

Good mod!

[carmine hemlock]

Don’t work with RHS backpacks

[stoic bone]

No compatibility version has been made for RHS yet. It's on the list

[carmine hemlock]

It works with GRS tho btw

[stoic bone]

Good to know. It’s built off of the character prefabs so if the mod creates its own custom characters without inheriting the base prefab, it will not work with the mod

[carmine hemlock]

Is there a planned compatibility update to work with RHS?

[stoic bone]

yes, it is on the list

[opal gorge]

This is super neat, really nice for machine gunners/assistants

[lusty fern]

Hmmm can’t get mission header to work along with discord player list mod

[lusty fern]

Got it working

[stoic bone]

What was the issue you were running into?

[lusty fern]

Just the json but got it figured out

[lusty fern]

Im not getting it to work with GRS?

[carmine hemlock]

Odd idk

[lusty fern]

Ikr

[stoic bone]

What is the mission heading set to? Default should be squad only (no addition to the mission header) so you cannot access the pack unless you’re in the same group/squad. It’s also based on the character prefab itself, so if whatever reason a different character prefab is used (RHS doesn’t inherit base character prefabs)

[lusty fern]

set to anyone

[ancient kraken]

did we get this working on grs yet?

[lusty fern]

Don’t think so

[ancient kraken]

rog thanks

@stoic bone hi I was wondering with the notification when someone opens your pack does it show the person's name?

[stoic bone]

Yes, but it's inconsistent and needs work. it uses the vanilla hint system. I'll hopefully get it adjusted and working more consistently

[wary apex]

Thank you was just wondering.

[stoic bone]

I'm hopefully finishing the RHS compatibility version today and then I'll look at GRS

[ancient kraken]

awesome thanks for the response

[stoic bone]

It's taking longer than expected due to the amount of character prefabs needing to be modified*

[raven geode]

I love this mod

[ancient kraken]

it will definitely be a game changer once it works w grs

[prisma tundra]

it's already 🙂

[ancient kraken]

its already working with grs?

[lusty fern]

Don’t thinks so inspect bags and display empty

[prisma tundra]

It's already a game changer*

[ancient kraken]

oh for sure but we dont play vanilla lol so it isnt for us yet

[stoic bone]

I'm working on the GRS Compatibility version right now, (GRS is far smaller than RHS so I can finish it faster). Looking through the GRS mods files, I'm not seeing anything that would prevent GRS from working with SAB off the rip, it would just use the generic pack (M5 Backpack) as the stand-in for the access. Either way i'll implement a compatibility. What mods do you use alongside GRS?

[ancient kraken]

for backpacks thats all we use we made our own unis. we use grs for plates and bags i personally didnt try it w grs i went off the people in here saying it didnt to work

[lusty fern]

GRS: Modular Backpanel, along with GRS Backpanel Setup 1, 2, 3 in various variants black, coyote, MC, and RG

[stoic bone]

looking back at this message, are you saying that the action works, but nothing is displaying in the bag inventory?

[lusty fern]

correct action works, but bag is empty

[stoic bone]

I'm implementing a more streamlined script for SAB that should make it work more universally with other mods

if this works as intended, any compatibility mods afterwards is more adding modified bags into the mod instead of relying on a generic bag (based on the M5 Medical pack)

[stoic bone]

Looking like the backpanel in GRS isn't actually considered a backpack (even though it is held in the pack slot) due to how they set the prefab up.

[lusty fern]

hmmm

[stoic bone]

Tests with baseline SAB (with streamlined script that just got updated) using the Fieldpack as the baseline, i walk through and put stuff in each of the modified bags (bags come from the misfit's bags mod

[lusty fern]

you need to edit/equip with backpanel as well

trying to upload a video now

[stoic bone]

I may be looking at the incorrect mod that adds it. What specific mod adds the backpanels that you're talking about? i am looking at the GRS BeltsNBags

[lusty fern]

thats right
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/65183608D6DA5728-GRS - Modular Belts %26 Bags

[stoic bone]

yea it's due to how they set the prefab up. If I make a compat for it, it's just redoing their backpanels prefabs

[lusty fern]

Now can’t access at all

[stoic bone]

Is there items in the bag prior to you moving the grenade into their bag? It's appearing the pack is opening

[lusty fern]

yeah, bag is full of supplies and that was before the latest update

[stoic bone]

It's due to how they set up their prefab. They have a different storage component

[stoic bone]

for clarity, I wouldn't be redoing their prefabs, i'd just be tying into them with SAB. They seem to use their own EquipmentStorageComponent that I'd need to tie into.

[ancient kraken]

did we get this working yet not rushing just curious

[stoic bone]

No sorry, irl stuff has gotten in the way

[ancient kraken]

rog no problem

[misty frigate]

I guess RHS as well not out yet ?

[stoic bone]

not yet, apologies for the delay

[misty frigate]

All good aleast someone is making decent mods

[covert peak]

Hello, was going through and attempting to make this compatible with darkline backpanels. Works fine with the exception of, including the base backpacks currently, they're only accessible once, and after that, they cannot be opened by a squad mate again. Was wondering if this mod was still being worked on and if you were still taking bug reports?

[stoic bone]

I actually lost access to the files due to a change in PC so I will be needing to restart this project eventually

[covert peak]

Ah no worries. I haven't looked at your license but is it an issue if I take a look at the scripts and see if it's fixable?
