Virtual Ammobox System (VAS)

[t0et0e 10]

just to check before i commit, and hopefully save some time in the process,

is there any template scripts for forcing tvt side specific kits?

i have a mission with opfor and blufor, also a zeus independent, but i i would like the human teams opfor n blufor side only kit, actual military stuff must be team specific but then i would like to add civilian clothing as a bonus, i have been reading through the config file in vas, and it seems a long winded process to name individually each item each etc to each team box,

so does anyone know of any missions or have a init file i can work from?

After the 1.16 update and adding zeus to a mission, for some reason, we can no longer save loadouts. Also, when a player JIP any vest taken from the VAS disappears.

VAS config

//Allow player to respawn with his loadout? If true unit will respawn with all ammo from initial save! Set to false to disable this and rely on other scripts!
vas_onRespawn = true;
//Preload Weapon Config?
vas_preload = false;
//If limiting weapons its probably best to set this to true so people aren't loading custom loadouts with restricted gear.
vas_disableLoadSave = true;
//Amount of save/load slots
vas_customslots = 9; //9 is actually 10 slots, starts from 0 to whatever you set, so always remember when setting a number to minus by 1, i.e 12 will be 11.
//Disable 'VAS hasn't finished loading' Check !!! ONLY RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE THAT USE ACRE AND OTHER LARGE ADDONS !!!
vas_disableSafetyCheck = false;

Well, not sure what I muked up but I overwrote all the scripts in the mission file and it's fixed. Odd, cuz it was working before and I hadn't changed anything.

[Sethenor 1]

Idea for a future update; Increase the size of the VAS Screen so more item text can be displayed.

For a lot of items the text gets cut off. It makes it quite hard to identify some items.

[tonic-_- 53]

UPDATE: v2.5

Notes:

VAS can now display specific items/weapons/magazines/blah for each ammobox placed and configured. If no vars are detected then VAS acts as normal. A example crate on how to do this is provided with the example mission. Can be applied any number of ways just depends on your scripting knowledge.

The build also doesn't remove attachments by default, that was a configuration slip :P

Credits:

PR9INICHEK - Russian translations for later implmeneted localizations.

Changelog:

Added: VAS can now display specific items/weapons/magazines for each ammobox placed (more indept configuration).

Added: Version number in right side of title bar.

Added: New Russian localizations.

Added: Alphabetical sorting.

Changed: The quick magazines box now checks against the config for restricted / magazines.

Changed: Default save slots bumped from 10 to 15.

Changed: VASP now ends when it completes it's preloading process.

Fixed: Attachments restricted were showing in the quick attachments section.

Fixed: Error in expression < _this call VAS_fnc_quickAddDrag; > Error Type Script, expected Bool

You legend, thanks!

[Guest]

Thank you very much for sending us the updated version :cool:

New version frontpaged on the Armaholic homepage.

Virtual Ammobox System (VAS) v2.5

==================

We have also "connected" these pages to your account on Armaholic.

This means in the future you will be able to maintain these pages yourself if you wish to do so. Once this new feature is ready we will contact you about it and explain how things work and what options you have.

When you have any questions already feel free to PM or email me!

[Spoor 23]

Thanks for the up-date Tonic

[DaViSFiT 21]

Thx Tonic. Still great you keep up the support for your good script. Is it somehow possible to get an error message if you put s.t. in that dont fit in? Sometimes i dont look on the space if something changes, want to put a heavy item in my bagpack, leave the ammobox and after 10min. i see that i dont have the item. Also switches would be cool for addon stuff. We use e.g. xMedSys and its a pain :p to search for this stuff between 1000 of other. Of course it can be restricted but not everyone will make a perfect mission.

[FortyEight 10]

I love the updates and dedicated! This is seriously one of the best scripts in Arma in my opinion!

[kadinx 12]

I totally agree :). Thank you

[katipo66 94]

The only thing i would wish for is a much larger GUI, even on par with MCC :)

[zeotrope 24]

Great update but it seems I need to say this crap til In blue in the face (or should I just give up?_....MAKE THE UI WIDER so we can read the item descriptions that get cut off by your pokey left pane window.... It is that hard?

For the love of God!

Smaller you say? OK.

At this point in time I am no where near willing to do a UI Change, I have hit a lazy point with this and doing a UI change takes time, I do all of my UI work from hand/scratch no fancy editor or any of that so it becomes quite a pain to change something around. If I ever do another update I will change the UI but truth be told I only did this update due to a request from Moricky and this one has been sitting on my PC for a week or so.

What the hell is under my name?! *Random*

Nice.... way to encourage the author to continue working on this FREE script in his FREE time... FPDR

Yeah I got an infraction for my tone. And in retrospect my post was a little harsh. Born out of frustration, I guess.

This is no "butter your popcorn" post but your mod is one of the most valuable mods in this gaming community. It opens up the game assets to the masses and provides a much needed, in-game gear save option. We use it each and everyday.

I understand that a UI re-size is more than likely a more complex process than it's not. I hope your next update (as you said) will incorporate my (and others) wish.

No offence intended in any way, shape or form.....but a least I got a response :)

Respect.

First of I have to say that I love VAS. I have one question and one request. The question is, is it possible to disable the alphabetical sorting as it splits up mod packs all over the lists. And my request, is there a way to add a dialog to say what add on pack an item is from. Running multiple weapons packs, it's hard to tell what weapon is from what pack.

Ya I am running into that problem too. Last version sorted the mod packs into groups and it made it a lot easier. Hopefully there is a way :) I am not the best at scripting and stuff but I can take a look at the config, with tonics permission.. :)

Hi Tonic,

Hey, I'm getting huge problems for some reason when I try to access VAS while using vanilla Arma3.

My main error is "No entry 'config.bin/VAS_Diag/controls/gundetailslist.ListScrollBar'

I did a lot of digging and the only fix I could find was to go into the common.hpp file and edit anything that said "scrollbar" to "listscrollbar", but that didn't work - only came up with more errors.

Also curious is, as I said, it only happens when playing vanilla. When I have my mods enabled, it is fine.

Cheers

Seems like Magazine config script is not working

Actually it's working in Magazine section.

~"quick magazine section"~

I wrote script at this line

//Want to limit VAS to specific weapons? Place the classnames in the array!

what should i do D:

Seems like Eric J, mk18mod1, Rh's M4 m16 's mag didn't show up. rest of em showed correctly. but i don't get it why i can't see vanila 556 mag D:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Figured

Check Capital letter, that usually solve problem

i.e.

"30Rnd_556x45_Stanag",

Ok

"30rnd_556x45_STANAG",

No

I have issues with the use of extra load slots, i have them set to 30 slots and when the mission is loaded and VAS is accessed, only 10 slots are available, I've had this issue for a while. This is what my config looks like.

vas_onRespawn = true;

vas_preload = true;

vas_disableLoadSave = false;

vas_customslots = 29; //9 is actually 10 slots, starts from 0 to whatever you set, so always remember when setting a number to minus by 1, i.e 12 will be 11.

vas_disableSafetyCheck = false;
