Tankbuster 1744 Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks for the reply mate, much appreciated! The above notwithstanding, this still is a lovely piece of work and I'm going to try to use it even if it still needs work. It's way better than whitelisting, which for me has never worked reliably. I'm fed up of saving a loadout and then coming back to it the next day and seeing it greyed out in the VA when i KNOW it only contains whitelisted items.

Tankbuster 1744 Posted September 16, 2016 Hmmm. This is giving me trouble. It's making clients hang. They get stuck at the loading screen and go no further. The mission is running, debug confirms that and initplayerlocal finishes OK, but the clients never get past the loading screen. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larrow 2820 Posted September 17, 2016 Hmm not seen any errors when i use the test mission on a dedicated with and without JIPed clients. What loading screen? Pre or Post briefing? Can you add this to the beginning of the initPlayerLocal and paste back the results (from mission load to a minute or so after mission should of started, as it will keep spamming rpt, just need first minute or so), should tell me what loading screen its hanging behind. _h = [] spawn { while { true } do { _loadingScreens = missionNamespace getVariable ["BIS_fnc_startLoadingScreen_ids",[]]; diag_log format[ "%1, %2, %3, %4", [ "finished", "loading" ] select ( isNil "LARs_allGearInit" ), [ "SG: not requested", [ [ "SG not Init", "SG initilised" ] select ( { count _x > 0 }count ( missionNamespace getVariable [ "LARs_sideGear", [] ] ) > 0 ), "SG not loaded" ] select ( isNil "LARs_sideGear" ) ] select isNumber( missionConfigFile >> "LARs_calculateSideGear" ), [ "Data fini", "init Data" ] select ( "LARs_initData" in _loadingScreens ), [ "Boxes fini", "init Boxes" ] select ( "LARs_blacklist" in _loadingScreens ) ]; diag_log "Open loading screens"; diag_log "____________________"; { diag_log _x; }forEach _loadingScreens; diag_log "____________________"; sleep 1; }; }; Plus show me your LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal parameters.

Tankbuster 1744 Posted September 17, 2016 I use a startLoadingScreen and progressLoadingScreen in initplayerlocal too. Is it possible yours and mine aren't playing nicely together? It hangs after the role selection screen. fn_blacklistArsenal is unchanged from your package. Here's the debug from client, http://pastebin.com/hrd5BPCh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larrow 2820 Posted September 18, 2016 JIPID = [ fobbox, [ west ], west, "west" ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal; JIPID = [ ammobox, [ west ], west, "west" ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal; You are using sides in your lists, to enable the side gear you have to have LARs_calculateSideGear = 1; in your description.ext as previously mentioned. The reason the loading screen hangs is i forgot to change the exitWith error when i changed it over to preInit behind the loading screen. At around line 86 in fn_blacklistArsenal.sqf you will find this.. //If a list requires a side and calculateSideGear is not in use exit with error if ( { { if !( isNil "_x" ) then { typeName _x isEqualTo typeName sideUnknown }else{ false }; }count _x > 0 }count[ _whiteList, _blackList ] > 0 && { isNil "LARs_sideGear" } ) exitWith { [ "LARs_blacklist" ] call BIS_fnc_endLoadingScreen; //<<<<<<<<<<ADD THIS LINE "SIDE used in white/blacklist - currently no side data, switch on LARs_calculateSideGear in description" call BIS_fnc_error; }; Add the line shown. Currently it is seeing that you have asked for side gear( by using a side in the lists ) but it is not enabled( 'SG: not requested' in the debug i asked you to run ) and so is exiting the script but i forgot to cancel the loading screen in this situation. I'm fed up of saving a loadout and then coming back to it the next day and seeing it greyed out in the VA You will need to test the script out as I have had reports from others that this is still a problem when some items are saved in a loadout when using my script and needs fixing when I get back to it.

Tankbuster 1744 Posted September 18, 2016 Brilliant. That's working now, thank you. I'll play it with my guys and report back about this greyed out loadouts. Having an unlimited VA is the only workaround for this right now, so I'm hoping this might at least remove the east gear while not breaking saves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1744 Posted October 1, 2016 You will need to test the script out as I have had reports from others that this is still a problem when some items are saved in a loadout when using my script and needs fixing when I get back to it. We didn't see any greyed out loadouts, but to be honest, we didn't try for very long, With Bergen and Javelin rounds and a few other things missing, it was too incomplete for us. But as a proof of concept, it's just great. I look forward to the day you do get back to it.:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larrow 2820 Posted October 2, 2016 With Bergen and Javelin rounds and a few other things missing, it was too incomplete for us. There is nothing from stoppng you from adding them in yourself. That is the whole reason i made it in such a way that you can add multiple white/black lists, as the automatic side gear is never going to catch every thing, as not all gear is used by a unit within a side so the info is not there to pull from the configs. [ WHITELIST, BLACKLIST ] - STRING, SIDE, ARRAY, where array can hold an of the previous types, STRING can also hold the name of a global variable or CfgPatches class. Passing true for the whitelist will provide all available gear from the config. _missingStuff = [ "mahoosive Bergen", "blah", "something else" ]; [ fobbox, [ [ west, _missingStuff ] ], west, "west" ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal This would create a whitelisted arsenal of all calculated west gear + gear in the array _missingStuff, with no blacklist.

UDIE 4 Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) We have been working on trying to put this into action and have got it working with your blacklist, but is there any reason why I cannot make a blacklist, involving cup mods? we want to ban things like thermals and mortar backbacks but im having problems replacing your list with mine, I have tried variations, less items, alphabetical, by items and groups.. kinda stumped..

ArmaMan360 94 Posted March 10, 2017 I am looking for a way to whitelist categories rather than individual items.

UDIE 4 Posted March 13, 2017 yes im using the calculate side gear i will give that a shot. i have one issue, players can use saved loadouts from other servers. for example. i was able to load the apex termal goggles out of a saved loadout even though they are in my blacklist, is there anyway to prevent this?

UDIE 4 Posted March 17, 2017 WOW this works perfectly. one thing im having a hard time understanding is trying to get like i mentioned, just a few more basic rifles for the opfor side. I do see what you said. but I do have a blacklist as well. i realize that it cant catch things that dont belong to a unit, maybe im outta luck here. On 10/1/2016 at 8:00 PM, Larrow said: _missingStuff = [ "mahoosive Bergen", "blah", "something else" ]; [ fobbox, [ [ west, _missingStuff ] ], west, "west" ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal This would create a whitelisted arsenal of all calculated west gear + gear in the array _missingStuff, with no blacklist. the other question i have is if there is any way I could execute the script in a different way. currently we have one script on the ammobox, that runs other scripts.. for example this is how we execute asorgs currently when approaching the box, im wondering, hoping there would be a way to use your "nul = this execvm ""multi_box.sqf" (how it looks in notepad) into this replacing gear select. id really prefer not to touch the mission files whatsoever, when it comes to updating several missions it would make things much easier. Im learning things slowly as im a novice at this. i actually tried to do it all myself and had the bohemia arsenal opening from this script with a simple "[] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal;" in the open.sqf //_vec addAction["<t color='#00cc00'>Virtual Ammobox</t>", "features\VAS\open.sqf"]; (even crappier implementation) _vec addAction["<t color='#111111'>Gear Select</t>", "execvm 'ASORGS\open.sqf'"]; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UDIE 4 Posted March 24, 2017 I have one final question... ok three, I was able to get everything working perfectly as designed, but for my purposes it left too few choices just for rifles, our server runs semi hardcore rules, but as far as rifles go, its nice to use what you prefer. Im still a novice at all of this, and having spent months on this project Im pretty close, thanks to you and your script. Im still able to use the multi box but Im going to have to whitelist every item per side, and forget the blacklist Is there a limit to the amount of things that can be passed in an array? (before I spend all day making them? prob 1000 items a side) JIPID = [ _ammoBox, [ "whitelist" ], east, "EAST", { true } ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal; JIPID = [ _ammoBox, ["whitelist2"], west, "WEST", { true } ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal; this looks correct if that is my game plan? seems to work with some small arrays i made for testing? (will the array be passed over network everytime someone goes to crate?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UDIE 4 Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) let me apologize for all the posts. I do appreciate any help I have gotten things working perfectly using two whitelists per side and not using the calculatesides. I basically have 3 whitelists in the multibox file, runs like this JIPID = [ _ammoBox, [ [ "CSAT", "BOTH"] ], east, "EAST" ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal; JIPID = [ _ammoBox, [ [ "NATO", "BOTH" ] ], west, "WEST" ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal; I only have one problem, I cant seem to add explosive grenade launcher ammo(I can add smoke and flares) ( my arrays are working even with them added), nor can I add more than one type of ammo for each rocket launcher. Has anyone encountered this? i have found a fix for the grenade launcher problem in fn_createlist.sqf by adding shells beside the smokeshells. ["assaultrifle","machinegun","sniperrifle", "shotgun","rifle","submachinegun"], ["launcher","missilelauncher","rocketlauncher"], ["handgun"], ["uniform"], ["vest"], ["backpack"], ["headgear"], ["glasses"], ["nvgoggles"], ["binocular","laserdesignator"], ["map"], ["gps","uavterminal"], ["radio"], ["compass"], ["watch"], [], [], [], ["accessorysights"], ["accessorypointer"], ["accessorymuzzle"], ["bullet"], ["grenade","smokeshell","shell"], ["mine","minebounding","minedirectional"], ["firstaidkit","medikit","minedetector","toolkit"], ["accessorybipod"] is there something i can put in here to get the launchables from the launchers ?

No not if you use a STRING of the name of a global variable that holds the array of items, and is available on the client.This only happens during mission setup be that start or JIP. 16 hours ago, UDIE said: I only have one problem, I cant seem to add explosive grenade launcher ammo(I can add smoke and flares) ( my arrays are working even with them added), nor can I add more than one type of ammo for each rocket launcher.

These arrays are looking for the return from BIS_fnc_itemType of the item and BIS_fnc_itemType bases this off of the simulation entry of the ammo of the magazines so "Missile" should do the job. Really need to rewrite this some day, there have been a few changes since I wrote this to the way the Arsenal behaves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UDIE 4 Posted March 28, 2017 Ok so this is a real confuser, If I add "shell" like I did last night, that fixed my problem with the whitelist for ugl shells I had already added missiles like you mentioned, no dice. now heres the tricky part, Im using the mission you uploaded as a template of sorts, and I figured out I could to it with a blacklist, so i tried that another box, which allows everything in the arsenal then blacklists the stuff in "mybox". this would also work perfectly, except when i use this box in this manner no scopes JIPID = [ _ammoBox, [true,"blacklist1"], west ] call LARs_fnc_blacklistArsenal; (fullbox except scopes + a small test blacklist)(not one scope in this list) and the all the rockets and missiles are there for each launcher. i took out missiles from the createlist script, and they dissapeared from the blacklist box. I have the box we are using in the missions on server in this test mission and im using another box to test the blacklist aspect of things/ I have gotten a fully functional whitelist, launchers do have ammo, just not all of it, or i can make a fully working blacklist, if i can figure out the missing scopes. I could upload a video of what is going on here if it would help. added shells.. it helped the whitelist, added missiles and it helped the blacklist, its a real confuser. I do appreciate any help, as does our dwindling aas community :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
