Hi Zade. We use your mod ever since it exists. But what we now start to notice is that backpack put in backpacks are not being saved. I've been dashing through your code but since you know it like the back of your hand I figured it would be easier to just tell you here.

On a next update, can you check if you can fix this issue.

 

This code snippet could help you in the right direction:

(unitBackpack myguy) addBackpackCargoGlobal ["myextrabackpack_classname",1];

 

Obvious question:

Why are you putting a backpack in a backpack!?

Answer:

Simple, When parachuting into the AO you take a large backpack with all your junk. You want to use a smaller pack to take what you need for an assault and leave you large backpack in your harbour area.

 

I'll try to fix this issue, although I won't work that easy because I'll have to handle the stuff which is in the backpack, that is in your (main) backpack.

Im not looking at your code as I type this...but I assume you extract the content array with a command. The backpack should showup in this.

 

What you then could do is, use the 'foreach' command on this to see if the item is in herited from some backpack class using the 'kindOf' command.

Write those classnames in an array and pit them back the the code snippet I gave.

 

Let me dive in your code to be more specific...

If you can point out where to look that would be even better.

Done. Putting backpacks into chestpacks will be possible in the next update.

Do we need special backpacks for this? Didnt know you could put a backpack in backpack.

 

Somebody needs to make a halo jump chest rig, helmet, and bag. 

 

 

[Crielaard 435]

Its funny how most people dont know this in the Arma community...

 

Drag an EMPTY backpack to your backpack's item listen and it will put in.

 

Common error is that people drag it to the backpackslot...which make it swap backpacks.

So no, no special backpack required. the one should simply fit in the other.

Everything should be up to date now, since foxhound updated it on Armaholic eleven hours ago. The rest should have been up to date, since I postet the changelog. 

I checked Steam, GitHub and Armaholic. I didn't check PWS because I don't use it anymore, although it should be fine as well. 

Are you sure this isn't the latest version and how do you come to that conclusion?

[Crielaard 435]

It is OK now.

I came to the conclusion due to the version number and the files were identical.

Yes of course. (https://github.com/DerZade/BackpackOnChest/releases). I update BOC on all platforms (except Armaholic) before or at least shortly after I post the news in this forum.

I can't update on Armaholic by myself, so you have to wait until the guys of the Armaholic team (thanks for that btw) will do that.

Why is this not built into ace3?

I'll just recycle the answer I posted on my steam workshop page a few days ago.

Will BOC ever be included in ACE? Maybe, but not at the moment. I'm still working on it and it's a hell of a lot easier to just have my own mod because I can decide when and what to release. Also I don't see a really big advantage in having BOC implemented over having an external mod.

Hey DerZade! Thanks for a freaking awesome mod.

Your last update is a heaven-sent one with the button in Arsenal.

However it appears not to work with Edens Arsenal, so I can't apply the premade Arsenal outfits on my player-units in Eden or am I doing it wrong?

First of all thanks, I'm happy that you like it :)

The new button is just for performing the action whilst in the arsenal. There is no other arsenal implementation, ergo the BOC won't be saved in your loadouts. If you want to add BOC for editor units you have to use the provided mission modules and functions instead. (Documentation)

Again, great mod! :)
