Less Armour RHS Vests

Description
This mod duplicates RHS Vests and gives them less armour than normal.

You can wear them as you would do with any normal armour but this mod was created for a different reason. More often than not, when you are in a arma 3 unit or just playing with friends, fighting against armoured enemies meant having to hit them an unreal amount of times before they died.

Now with this mod, you can make AI units that look like they have armour but take less round to be downed.
It takes around a couple of 5.56 mm shots to down someone at close range (50-100 metres). (Tested with ace)

Let me know if there's any improvement that needs to be done.

Here's the entire russian RHS faction duplicated with less armour so you can enjoy fighting against Russian RHS formations.

Feel free to recreate any RHS faction or formation using this mod.

For a more technical explanation, this mod is very simple, it's just a single config.cpp. It duplicates the existing game objects (the RHS vests) and creates a new variant with the wanted changes. The problem isn't the recreation of a single vest with less armour, it's the huge amount of vests available with RHS. What made it easy to implement was a config.cpp generator I wrote in java that essentially automatised the work that otherwise would have had to be done by hand. Simplest explanation is, it's a text generator that automatically creates the config.cpp file when given a list of vests. The program is not needed for what concerns the mod itself but it's public if you want to use it or modify it yourself to create your own mods.

Henderson, could yo sign the mod so we can use it on a dedicated server with verify signatures enabled?

Sure, it works, but clicking away that dialog is annoying, and very fixable. It's something that changed with APEX, if that is any help.

Thanks for the info but I don't know how to fix that. I just tested the mod and it seems to be just a warning, everything works.

Btw, your mod is triggering the good ol' No entry bin/config.bin/CfgWeapons/ItemInfo.scope errors, since it uses ItemInfo outside of classes. Not sure what the proper fix is, since it depends on how RHS derives its vests ItemCore

Exactly
