Oooh, that's awesome. The only reason we don't ever have paradrop insertions are the inability to carry a backpack. There was a similar mod in the past but we experienced some bugs with it. I'll give this one a try, thanks!

[Graf Schenko 10]

uuuuhhhh

[ruPal 143]

Well, it is not actually on chest

If it is possible move it to the proper place, please ;) Probably, like in FSF SacVentral mod.

Quick question is it possible to do this in the editor so you spawn with it on your chest?

[Rainey2-75thRGR 10]

I love the idea of this! Such a simple idea, but so amazing.

[DaViSFiT 21]

One more question. In multiplayer on dedicated server If I put my backpack on chest then re-enter the server, will my pack be ok? Will it stuck on chest or something? Sorry for my inconvenience.

Btw, I localized version 0.2:

File fn_initialization.sqf

/*

* Author: DerZade

* Description: Initalize the BOC-Mod

*

* Arguments:

*

* Return Value:

*

* Public: No

*/

_action = ["Zade_Backpack_onChest", localize "STR_Backpack_on_Chest", "", {[_this select 0] call Zade_BOC_fnc_BackpackOnChest;}, {(_this select 0) getVariable ["Zade_ChestBackpack",""] == "" and backpack (_this select 0) != ""}] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_createAction;

[player, 1, ["ACE_SelfActions", "ACE_Equipment"], _action] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_addActionToObject;

_action = ["Zade_Backpack_onBack", localize "STR_Backpack_on_Back", "", {[_this select 0] call Zade_BOC_fnc_BackpackOnBack;}, {(_this select 0) getVariable ["Zade_ChestBackpack",""] != "" and backpack (_this select 0) == ""}] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_createAction;

[player, 1, ["ACE_SelfActions", "ACE_Equipment"], _action] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_addActionToObject;

player addEventHandler ["Respawn",{call ZADE_BOC_fnc_initialization;}];

And stringtable.xml:

Would it be possible to work with ACE Devs to get this added as an built in feature with ACE?

Yes ACE3 is completely Open Source, but I want to finish some features before I would like to see it implemented into ACE.

[CARRICK_IRISH 39]

Thanks for bringing this feature to ace, dude

I used SacVentral so far and always thought about getting rid of their action menu solution

additional plus for the function documentation

take care,

ian
