BOC Inflatable Raiding Craft

Description
BOC Inflatable Raiding Craft (BOC IRC) BETA

This addon adds two core assets to the game - a backpack which can be assembled into an inflatable raiding craft, and the raiding craft itself.

The addon was heavily inspired by O' Hally's Boats[forums.bistudio.com] and from whom some of the config entries were learnt, however this addon has been written from scratch, with added textures, tweaked boat characteristics and different functions - boats cannot be taken apart and will surface slowly when assmbled.

USAGE

The backpack is called the “Inflatable Raiding Craft Bag (XXX)” (B_IRCbergen_XXX_F) [where XXX is either black/blk, multicam/mcamo, hex/hex, digital/digi or troical/tna] and can be placed directly in the editor, via script, or through a character’s loadout selection.

When the backpack is worn an option exists to assemble the Inflatable Raiding craft, which will pop in front of the player. If assembled underwater, it will rapidly rise to the surface above the player.

Once assembled, the raiding craft can be used as per the vanilla boat.

Additionally, the IRC (B_Boat_IRC_01_F) can be placed directly in the editor (but it cannot be disassembled).

Really cool mod! I'm also experiencing the same issue as @shugo, unfortunately. Not sure if you plan on making any updates or if you have the time/motivation to do further investigation. Still semi-usable in its current state.

@Skutterbuster666 As it stands, no. The boat bag is based on the large bergan which came as part of Apex. I'm unlikely to work on this much coming up, but may replace the source bag in due course.

is this available to work without the apex mod?

@boy_of_cow would be awesome if you could add this project to github

@shugo22 - I tried it on multiplayer last week and this random spawning didn't occur for us. I'll keep trying when i get the chance.

I have encountered another problem though - I am unable to swap backpacks in ace whilst swimming. This means I can no longer parachute into the sea. I'm working on a fix without using the ace menu for the time being.

@sleepy Santa. Fair point. I thought it was a fair compromise to remove load carrying capacity given that a boat, outboard and inflation system were being thrown into a single bag!

@shugo. Hmmm not sure about why it is spawning at a different player. That is not something I have come across before. I'll take a look next time I get to have a play in multiplayer... but this may be sometime away. I had set it to be unpackable only - only because this mimics, very loosly to a real loose extent, real options to deploy inflatable boats from subs or the air. You wouldnt normally be able to repack them so easily, so that was why I left it out.

Hi awesome mod, we just tested it on our server and we like the idea, but the boat dosent spawn at the player holding the backpack, it appears to spawn at a (random) different player when we unpack it.. Btw, is it possible to pack it after use?
