Where does virtual arsenal save the loadouts?

[runforrest 10]

Hi, does anyone know where virtual arsenal saves the loadouts on the harddrive? I want to edit them manually with notepad to get rid of taskforce radios that have written themselfs into the loadouts.

Thanks in advance

I beleive its in the 'PROFILE.vars.Arma3Profile' within 'C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\PROFILENAME' however, good luck manually editing them as the file is not easily read in notepad...

You can try (with your own risk) reading the profile variable by executing this in the console:

copytoclipboard str (profilenamespace getvariable ["bis_fnc_saveInventory_data",[]])

The arsenal loadouts are copied to clipboard. Then paste it to notepad, remove the radio items and:

profilenamespace setvariable ["bis_fnc_saveInventory_data",X]

where X is the whole text you edited.

I haven't actually tried this myself, so you might want to make a backup of the file Jackal mentioned, in case something goes wrong.

It saves it to the Clipboard in Windows

From within the Virtual Arsenal Select Export

Then open Word or Notepad and select Paste

Alternativly, open the editor place a soldier on the map, and in his init select Control V (which means Paste).

Thanks for the replys guys, should help me a bit.

@Joe98 i already knew that but i thought there might be some faster/easier way to do it.

You might add if (!local this) exitWith {}; before removeAllWeapons this; for JIP compatibility (if u dont do that u will get all that gear again as soon as a player joins the mission after missionstart - typical Bohemia-NOTactive FAIL to not have that by default)

That's interesting, I always thought code from the init of a unit get's only executed locally for the unit. Actually that is what one would expect, isn't it?

I have no clue, a m8 found that in another mission. I just know if i dont use that, when a player joins the mission after missionstart, all players will get the whole loadout again that was defined in the initfield of their unit via export from the arsenal.

Hey forrest, this is a snip of what I used in too add all through a loadout sqf which I had pasted via arsenal:

if (!isNil "p1" && {local p1}) then {

removeAllWeapons p1;

removeAllItems p1;

removeAllAssignedItems p1;

removeUniform p1;

removeVest p1;

removeBackpack p1;

removeHeadgear p1;

removeGoggles p1;

p1 forceAddUniform "TRYK_U_B_PCUHsW4";

p1 addItemToUniform "FirstAidKit";

p1 addItemToUniform "rhsusf_ANPVS_14";

p1 addItemToUniform "rhsusf_patrolcap_ucp";

p1 addItemToUniform "Chemlight_red";

p1 addVest "TRYK_V_ArmorVest_Winter";

p1 addItemToVest "FirstAidKit";

p1 addItemToVest "rhs_mag_m67";

for "_i" from 1 to 6 do {p1 addItemToVest "rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_Mk318_Stanag";};

for "_i" from 1 to 4 do {p1 addItemToVest "1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell";};

for "_i" from 1 to 5 do {p1 addItemToVest "UGL_FlareRed_F";};

for "_i" from 1 to 3 do {p1 addItemToVest "MiniGrenade";};

p1 addBackpack "TRYK_B_Coyotebackpack_WH";

for "_i" from 1 to 5 do {p1 addItemToBackpack "FirstAidKit";};

for "_i" from 1 to 3 do {p1 addItemToBackpack "rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_Mk318_Stanag";};

for "_i" from 1 to 4 do {p1 addItemToBackpack "DemoCharge_Remote_Mag";};

p1 addHeadgear "TRYK_H_Helmet_Winter_2";

p1 addGoggles "TRYK_US_ESS_Glasses_WH";

p1 addWeapon "rhs_weap_m4_m203";

p1 addPrimaryWeaponItem "rhsusf_acc_nt4_black";

p1 addPrimaryWeaponItem "rhsusf_acc_anpeq15side";

p1 addPrimaryWeaponItem "rhsusf_acc_compm4";
