BackpackOnChest - Redux

Thank jod. Sacrificing an entire backpack slot for a M2 tripod was always ridiculous.

Heh.. 😈

Interesting. Make sure you don't have this mod loaded with the original or a conflict between them. After getting into a vehicle it should hide the backpack so there is no collisions.

@mjc4wilton I discovered an issue where when my friend and I use this feature, I can see my friend's backpack outside the plane after getting on board, and the plane will collide.

@mjc4wilton found the issue, uninstalled ace 7 times and redux 7 times. files never fully updated even after and somehow kept both installed so it was pathing incorrectly. apologies on the false alarm

@Suckin Fluts how so? Haven't tested myself yet

We generally do HALO with the rebreather in the backpack. We drop with a vic, allowing us to ditch our parachutes, access our inventories, and swap to rebreathers and diving goggles. Dragging and dropping your rebreather over your vest will retain all your inventory items so long as you don't save the kit or swap rucksacks. When on land you follow the same procedure to re-equip your vest. This solution works very well but requires some training and cannot be done without vehicles (or an arsenal on the shore).

In my unit we use a custom mod I wrote up which allows stows your gear in a larger diving backpack and equips you with the wetsuit and what not via ace interactions, and then change back later. Its a little buggy though hence why I haven't released it

@mjc4wilton Thank you so much for the response! I might use this mod as a template to create a workaround. Instead of swapping the rebreather and the vest, I plan on making an ACE interaction to "stow vest". Right now that seems to be the best solution I can come up with.

Unfortunately Arma 3 doesn't really provide much of a good way to do this. I am using the getUnitLoadout and setUnitLoadout commands from BI for the heavy lifting, which is the most feature-complete way to do it (includes stuff like ammo counts) without missing items. Those commands don't respect nested inventory containers (as with the majority of the game), so they get lost. I think BI just completely glossed over nested containers in the majority of their development as there are a lot of broken aspects of them which extend to their script commands. So, in short, not really a way to do it since it is a very buggy feature that barely works to begin with. For diving in particular, I recommend storing your vest items in your backpack and then moving your vest.
