Armed Forces:UK Virtus Body Armour

====================================

ARMED FORCES:UK VIRTUS BODY ARMOUR

====================================

 

 

 

So with the British MOD rolling out the new Virtus body armour system to the british army I decided to try recreate it for Arma. The new personal armour, known as Virtus, uses the latest materials and offers the same protection as the Osprey system but it is significantly lighter, moves with the body more easily and produces a slimmer profile.

 

This Mod Contains: 

 

• Revision Batlskin Helmet (6 Variants)
• Boonie Hats (2 Variants)
• Revision Ballistic Glasses (3 Variants)
• Virtus Webbing 
• Virtus Body Armour + Webbing (8 Variants)
• Virtus Daysack (9 Variants)
• Various Uniforms

 

You can download the mod from the link below!

[Rook Mk1 46]

Outstanding job

[Flax 397]

Looks good so far, looking forward to new variants etc. Is there any chance for a Steam Workshop version?

[Bulajunior14 12]

Great Mod. Great Effort. Cant tell the difference between your mod and the set sat next to me. ;)

Eventually yes, just need to find out how to go about it

[TheLimbo365 70]

Great work man

 

My only points I can see is the vest is a tad shiny and the scrim is supposed to break up the shape of your head and your version is kinda flat!

 

But for the most part really really good work :)

 

Looking forward to seeing what your planning next!

[kiory 405]

Looking great Mike, it's nice to see how far you have come as an artist, onwards and upwards, can't wait to see what you work on next!

Awesome, good to hear it. If you haven't found it already this should help out:

Also, I found a couple bugs - first when launching with the mod you get an error:

 

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/ItemInfo.scope'

I think this is due to an inheritance error in the configs, can't remember the fix for it though :/ The second issue is there is an additional Radio visible to the player when you look down in first person:

Correct. Ever since that update months back, inheriting ItemInfo has to be from a parent class's existing ItemInfo, not directly from ItemInfo as if it was its own independent class (or you can inherit ItemInfo from VestItem/HeadgearItem/UniformItem for example)

Looks fantastic!

You couldn't write me down an example could you? Coding ain't my strong point, just trying to get my head around it!

Dude, got my download on this!

 

Also, major props to you on the fact the uniforms can be worn by any sides. It's hard to find uniform mods that do that.

EDIT-Also, the webbing is great too! That's another type of gear that seems to be rare IMO.

[GBee2 68]

Looking great. I don't know if the mask portion is actually being deployed, but any chance we might get that in a future version?

 No worries.

class CfgWeapons
{
	class ItemCore;
	class H_HelmetB: ItemCore
	{
		class ItemInfo;
	};
	class my_example_helmet: H_HelmetB
	{
		displayname = "Custom Helmet 1";
		class ItemInfo: ItemInfo
		{
			mass = 50;
		};
	};
};

class CfgWeapons
{
	class HeadGearItem;
	class H_HelmetB;
	class my_other_example_helmet: H_HelmetB
	{
		displayname = "Custom Helmet 2";
		class ItemInfo: HeadgearItem
		{
			mass = 78;
		};
	};
};

 

 

These are two quick examples of how to do it. I used a helmet as example, same logic would apply to a vest or uniform (just replace HeadgearItem with VestItem and UniformItem respectively).

Naturally, only things i changed from that base helmet in said examples are its displayname and in the iteminfo section the mass to a random value.

 

Example 1 uses the ItemInfo from the existing H_HelmetB (can't remember its in-game name), and example 2 the "generic" ItemInfo values from HeadgearItem.

Awesome work man!

[Phantom Hawk 44]

Now this looks cool can't wait to use this with 3CB BAF keep up the good work.

Congrats on the release, Mike. It looks great! Thanks for adding in the RM version.

[mikephoenix 1098]

Quick question for you! Has there been any different camo patterns for the vest issued?
