KC Grimes 79 Posted January 4, 2014 Author: KC Grimes Script: Grimes Crate Filler Version: V2.12 The Grimes Crate Filler script is an old-fashioned Ammo Crate Refill script for ArmA 3, including modular use of all weapons, attachments, magazines, items, clothing, bags, and much more! This package includes an application of the script as part of an example mission. This README is intended to provide detailed information as to the purpose, function, FAQs, and minor troubleshooting for this script in addition to installation, uninstallation, and maintenance tips. For further information or specifics in the code, the user should read the comments to the code within the script files. Author Information KC Grimes is the author of the Grimes Crate Filler. The script was made in order to provide mission makers a user-friendly means of customizing an ammo crate. The purpose of this script is to provide a way for the mission maker to customize ammo crates in order to make their mission unique and as generalized or as focused as they would like. BI Forums Topic: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/161393-grimes-crate-filler-script/ Installation At this time, there is no “installer” for the script, and it is instead a simple series of actions and file moves. 1.

KC Grimes 79 Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks for the help Foxhound! Updated the links here and on the Armaholic launch post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC Grimes 79 Posted January 30, 2014 Updating to version 2.0. Reason for the big jump is that I essentially re-worked the entire script to accomplish the same goal, but in a way that did not involve the manual entering of classnames. In addition, you are now able to also sort between empty/normal backpacks, pre-filled backpacks, and bags used for assembling weapons. Original post updated with download link, new parameters, and new info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC Grimes 79 Posted January 30, 2014 Very nice but i am a noob, how i put this in mission that i downloaded and the campaign?thank you! First, please redownload it if you already have downloaded, as I just updated the update. About your question, there are installation instructions inside the G_crate.sqf file in the .rar that include more than you need to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toxicsludge 12 Posted January 30, 2014 Sorry i didn't read that file! i did that but i don't know how to execute it in a already made mission, not using the editor sandbox Short answer...you can't. Long answer...you can, but it involves de-pbo ing and re-editing the mission etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myngos211 10 Posted March 20, 2014 Awesome work! For someone who doesn't script, it was easy enough to add some of the weapons and uniform stuff to the sqf. Learned alot by tooling around with it too...many thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC Grimes 79 Posted February 18, 2018 Updated OP. V1.0 ("manual") and V2.0 (dynamic from config) are now hosted on github and documentation is slightly adjusted for organization. I would like there to be a V2.1 or V3.0 release, depending on how much changing is to be done. Greater use of functions and cleaner code while working with the config references is the goal for the next update. Additionally, I am undecided about whether or not the old "manual" version will be merged in to the current script or just left out of the next update altogether. If anyone has any ideas or wants to contribute, by all means go for it. Otherwise I imagine I will get to it eventually. At least for me, there is pleasure in loading out a unit from an ammo crate the old fashion way as opposed to a fancy UI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC Grimes 79 Posted February 24, 2018 Updated OP to V2.1! This update contains significant optimizations and fixes to the previous version, and a few new features. The heavy lifting is now done once through a dynamic function, and only the result is used in repeated executions upon "refreshing" the crate. Weapons, items, and gear added in DLCs since the launch of ArmA 3 are now included. Independent weapons are now their own parameter. Multiple error messages avoided. The user can now define specific classnames to be excluded. Extensive in-line documentation of the code is now provided. Now available on the Steam Workshop. For more detailed changelog, see the github page. The older "manual" version was completely removed, as this type of script is simple enough to be done on one's own if necessary. I had hoped for the script to be completely dynamic, not relying on strings of classnames to denote factions or object "types" and the like. Unfortunately, there were numerous conflicts and/or inconsistencies in the config while doing this, and it was just not worth it. So the V2.0 system was simply improved upon, and the strings for identifying certain "groups" of weapons were optimized in order to be more accurate and also include weapons/items/etc. added in the DLCs. Enjoy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
