Addon: ace_miscitems #2324

voiperr · 2015-08-30T23:14:52Z

Purpose:

Arma 3 has many interesting items from the small_items vehicleClass that can be placed in the editor by mission makers. Unfortunately, they're all static vehicles that cannot be picked up or moved by players. This addon adds an item version of almost all of those items, for use by mission makers and ACE.

Changes:

ace_miscitems (new):

Adds base vehicle class Ace_Misc_Items
Adds item and ground weaponholder classes for 75 items:
- ACE_Item_FMRadio

Can use GVAR(FMRadio_Item).

jonpas · 2015-08-30T23:24:15Z

That's A LOT of items!

kymckay · 2015-08-30T23:39:43Z

Not sure this falls into ACE design goals, @Glowbal @NouberNou

You guys probably know better than I do

voiperr · 2015-08-31T00:06:49Z

This has the same design scope as the Slideshow module.

It will enable mission makers (and ACE) to use the various items that are already in the game without having to add more models. Currently, missions that involve logistics are severely limited by a lack of manipulable items. Realistically, a huge portion of military endeavours are logistics related.

commy2 · 2015-08-31T07:36:41Z

I kinda like this. As long as they have their own category, so they don't clog up the editor. A purpose for a lot of these could then be added later.
I'd name them in a more general way though.

Example:

ACE_FMRadio
ACE_Item_FMRadio

That way it's would be easier to move them in a different PBO, should we find a use for any of them. (E.g. cellphone for explosives?)

+        scope = 2;
+        scopeCurator = 2;
+        displayName = CSTRING(FMRadio_DisplayName);
+        author = ECSTRING(common,ACETeam);


should be Bohemia Interactive, shouldn't it? ACE just makes them accessible. Dunno... just an idea.

Shows how limited the author entry is. My policy is to add me as author if the config is made by me.

voiperr · 2015-08-31T19:53:50Z

Consensus on who the author should be?

Also: thoughts on adding the barrels & containers? Obviously they would need to be impossible to put in backpacks, but if they could fit in cargo spaces... Should that be left up to the logistics coders?

jonpas · 2015-08-31T19:57:20Z

Consensus on who the author should be?

Maybe get a string Bohemia Interactive, ACE3 Team added for such cases?

Also: thoughts on adding the barrels & containers? Obviously they would need to be impossible to put in backpacks, but if they could fit in cargo spaces... Should that be left up to the logistics coders?

I'd say that should be added to ace_cargo directly when they are actually of any use.

PabstMirror · 2015-08-31T20:28:04Z

As a mission maker having props like money would be neat, but I worry about confusion.
I do NOT like the medical items, I don't want to see questions like:

How do I use the ACE_Item_Defibrillator on someone with no pulse?

ACE_Item_Bandage vs ACE_packingBandageItem - which is the real bandage???

How do I put out wreck fires with ACE_Item_FireExtinguisher?

Maybe in all of the items descriptions we can add "This is just a prop, with no functionality"

voiperr · 2015-08-31T21:29:21Z

How about:

a) Remove the egregious item duplicates: bloodbag, bandage, (painkillers?).
b) descriptionShort = "Prop item. No default function."

alganthe · 2015-09-03T10:57:04Z

👍 voiperr, just precise that it's a prop item.

commy2 · 2015-09-03T11:06:05Z

b) and obviously keep them far away from the medical supply box.

thojkooi · 2016-01-19T15:12:10Z

Love the idea but this will probably not fit within our scope.
Note to myself: Look into setting up a separate solution for misc items and possibly other modules that are nice but do not directly fit within the ACE project scope.

Feel free to leave this PR open though - I will eventually get around to this.

nicolasbadano · 2016-01-19T15:33:56Z

Love the idea but this will probably not fit within our scope.

😞

Dumping this in optionals?
