LEA - Loadout Editor For ArmA 2 Combined Operations and ACE 2

[cuel 25]

Would it be possible to make the "default" button not overwrite the units current weapons/magazines etc? Maybe just replace the tertiary slots? Also would be great if we could add more items to the default button aswell. Maybe just a line where you can enter the name of the item, separated by semi-colon or something :).

There also seems to be some problem with detecting the right side of the unit, if its leader is another side.

For example; this http://pastebin.com/TsV78vx4

Shows up like this:

Notice that both the group leaders are EAST but the 2nd group is one the civilian side.

Pushing the Default button gives the units ArmA 2 default loadout. It only works with ArmA2/OA/ACE (most of) units.

I think adding a warning message about overwrite would be better since user would failed into weapon/ammo not matching do to partial loadout replacement.

I could add also the ability to input classnames for missing stuff but user won't be able to visualize them into loadout anyway do to missing image files.

Oh? I thought it gave the units the stuff that you can enter in Mission -> Preferences

Certainly. Here:

As you can see, both groups should be BLUFOR but it only detecs the first one.

I appear to be having an issue with LEA and ACE, if I place items into a rucksack they are unable to be removed (pressing unpack causes them to vanish from the world). Is this an ACE issue or an issue caused by the latest version of ACE when used with LEA?

[rhyswilliams999 10]

i had the same issues, i even created a ticket for it but has been rejected as LEA does not use the Internal ACE API it seems (one of the items introduced for 1.14) https://dev-heaven.net/issues/62051

[major_shepard 82]

There is nothing to see with LEA but the ACE version you have picked up from six updater.

[rhyswilliams999 10]

As Xeno has pointed out in this Ticket If LEA calls the ACE API fully/correctly, it would be compatible with both 1.13 and 1.14.

[major_shepard 82]

Will make a try with ACE 1.13 to see if it break. If not expect and update of LEA this week ^^

[rhyswilliams999 10]

That.... Would... Be... Awesome!!!! (Best of luck in the testing!)

[major_shepard 82]

No break observed with ACE 1.13.

Will try to push a new release of LEA tomorrow ;)

Sounds Great, one thing tho, missions that been already configured with LEA for the Units profiles, will it be able to open the old scripts and update the loadout scripts, or will the mission need to be reconfigured from scratch? (From a loadout point of view)

Edit: just noticed this Ticket, Very nice feature!

Additional opinion on latest features shown on Dev-Haven

[major_shepard 82]

There is no problem with LEA for reading mission/profile.

You will just need to regenerate the script to be ACE 1.14 compliant.

[jsmuk 13]

Thank you! It has been a minor nuisance.

So once the update is out will I just have to regenerate the scripts and the problem will be gone?

[major_shepard 82]

yes exactly.

[cuel 25]

Would it be possible to make the "apply loadout" scroll-down window a bit larger? It's really small and I have a lot of profiles. Or even better, the ability to copy-paste a loadout from one unit to another unit by dragging on the left side of the screen :)

And I can't seem to find the ACE parachute ruck in the ruck screen?

You are talking about the GUI of @LEA in ArmA 2 right? Don't know about drag and drop in ArmA 2 :/

And I can't seem to find the ACE parachute ruck in the ruck screen?

It is in the Launcher list (MC-5 parachute) this is because ACE Parachute is type Launcher in the game and not type ruck ^^

LEA 1.3 Update 9 Build 1.3.65

--- Downloads ---

=> Check for Updates in the Help menu.

--- Changelog ---

Added: Make crate script: user can now set the time for refill.

Added: support for changes introduced by ACE 1.14 Dev with rucksacks and items management.

Fixed: Single player - double initialization of player loadout.

Fixed: Mission Editor - wrong group side when a group is made of units of a different side.

[cuel 25]

Nice update. Yes, perhaps holding one unit in the left side of the GUI in LEA and dropping it on another unit would copy-paste the loadout? :) With a confirmation so one doesn't accidentally do it. I don't know about other people who uses LEA but personally I do several squads and some of them do have the same loadout, it would save a lot of time instead of creating several new profiles just for that specific mission.

[rhyswilliams999 10]

On behalf of the guys here at INF, Thank You! we use this pretty much every session.

[buehgler_as 0]

Thanks very much for the update. I am very glad you were able to improve the ACE compatibility.

[jsmuk 13]

Am I going mad or are the ACE mine markers not in the list? The actual post is but the thing that is placed onto it (either an arrow or a warning sign) don't seem to be in the list.

[major_shepard 82]

Help -> Install new Addons -> Repository -> ACE Dev

then Help -> Manage Addons -> select ACE Dev

Mine marker item should appear in the Item list.

Just tried out this mod/utility. Great stuff. Going to save tons of time loading up at mission start!!!

[USMC Soldier 10]

I was trying out LEA and it didn't work out. I set for a takistani to spawn with a G3 in the mission through LEA, but when i played he had his normal AK74. It says the loadout is disabled, and I don't know how to enable it.
