Fleff's Advanced ACE Repair

Description
The following is a mostly finished mod to expand upon the ACE Repair system.
Quoting a friend, this mod is to vehicles as Ace Medical is to players.
This mod is best paired with persistent campaigns focused on logistics and thorough repairs of units.

Github Link[github.com]
This mod is purely done in my free time for use within my gaming community, but please report any issues in the above Github link.

Currently it includes:
  • Parts categorized between 'Major' and 'Minor/Miscellaneous'.
  • Ability to remove and replace 'Major' parts from vehicles similar to how wheels are handled.
  • Ability to repair 'Minor/Miscellaneous' parts with a 'Spare Parts' item.
  • Ability to repair 'Major' parts with a 'Spare Parts' item while they are removed from vehicles.
  • Removal of the 'Full Repair' action
  • Ability to 'Diagnose' a vehicle to get a UI list of all it's Major and Minor hitpoints and their health.
  • Ability to Remove or Replace a major part from a UI, especially important when you can't otherwise reach or find a part.
  • Ability to save 'notes' on a vehicle in a text box for the next mechanic to see. Notes save to the vehicle under the variable "advrep_GUI_note".
The repair, removal, and replacement of major parts is tied to 2 CBA settings in the mod for defining what sort of people and locations you can perform.
Track removal and replacement retains the regular ACE Repair permission and Wheel removal and replacement retains it's separate repair permission; however, both still use the Full Repair settings for fixing the parts.
I highly advise disabling ACE Wheel Patching, or ensuring you have a PSA that wheels should be patched before repaired in a depot to avoid wasted spare parts.

Currently Known Bugs
  • UI isn't properly scaling.
  • GUI menu breaks when removing or replacing parts for some users.

To do list / Stretch goals:
  • - Ability to type up notes on a specific vehicle and save them, really just for mechanics to leave notes on stuff if wanted.
  • Ability to manage the fuel status and siphon gas from the vehicle
  • Ability to manage the ammunition status of the vehicle, allowing munitions to be removed, transferred, and added.
  • Include CBA's new 'Quick Time Event' framework to make repair action timers go quicker provide something to do other than staring at said timer.
  • Make all major part interact points have a color to their icon to represent their HP.
  • Prompt player when a part removal or replacement fails in the GUI menu and why it failed.
  • Create more Spare Part crates for easy zeus placement.

I encountered an error that if the equipment is knocked out with the engine on, remove it and try to repair it - it will say "turn off the engine"

Hi, I have a problem. When I load this mod the contour references of the map disappear. A way to solve this??

Greetings!! A wonderful mod.... I would like to suggest an option to disassemble the removed modules and convert them into spare parts for repairing other modules. Then it can be used in Antistasi and beyond.

This is a sick idea, i'm definitely making a note, thanks.

Seems like when you remove fuel tanks, the fuel inside of the vehicle starts leaking out.

IDK if this is a intended feature but if i have an idea to make the fuel tank act as if it were a ace fuel source, and when you remove it from the vehicle the vehicle gets emptied from fuel and transferred to the fuel tank.

you need a repair vehicle or a repair facility,can be changed in module setting

hello, I tried the mod and realized that I can't remove the engine or the gas tank to repair or replace them but it let me change the wheels and use the repair menu with the spare parts. I think is some of my mods so i will start testing

Tried this mod today with my units operation, but unfortunately there seems to be some locality issues with repairing... (Possibly due to other interfering mods.)

One player repaired the main rotor of an aircraft, but no one else could see the effect. A second player got in, and it reverted to broken for for the first player as well. Sounds like a classic Arma 3 locality issue. Changes aren't transferred to server and other players.

Another issue seems to be: Major parts spawned through Zeus can't be installed in vehicles. Might be missing a object variable or other set attribute to work maybe? Not sure about that one.

We'll be removing the mod for now but keep monitoring updates to see if we can include it again. The idea is REALLY cool.

Some documentation would also really go a long way.
