Thank you very much. Большое спасибо

Sure.

Hi bro, how are you, how are you, health, well-being. I ask for permission to pack this mod of yours into my mod. in the description, I will specify a link to the mod and its name. If you drop the link to the discord, then I will specify the discord.

Just noticed someone ask how to edit armor values.
it works on all mods but be wary of publicly uploading such things without permission from original makers, personal use might be ok.

This is how I did it:
1. unpack the PBO file with PBO Manager. keep all unpacked files.
2.find the configuration bin file- depending on mod, you may have to really search for it.
3.convert the configuration bin file to a Cfg file with Arma 3 Tools.
4.open the configuration Cfg with Visual Studio Code.
5.locate the armor value and change it.
6.save your changes.
7.use Arma 3 tools to convert the configuration Cfg back into bin format and put it back with the unpacked files from the PBO.
8.use PBO Manager to repack the files into a PBO file.

It should work though I might not have covered everything, also the edited mod is a local mod so it needs mounting to play it which can be done from the Arma 3 launcher.

Any chance of including the new marine carrier rigs, uniforms, and helmets from the dlc?

how do i edit armor values @Point Man

-update about editing the armor values: I just tested putting the armor value at 50000 and noticed a difference so looks like there isn't too much of a limit after as long as you can fit a large number of zeros into the value.

About the editing the armor values: it appears there is a "maximum limit" to how high the armor value can go regardless to how high the value is set; somewhere between 1000 and 2500. Which makes a full health wearer of the vest alone able to take 7 shots from the Apex DLC AKM without dying...though the health be so low at that point that they'll die from a rock being thrown at them.

Though nice to know armor values in mods can be edited with the some available software: Arma 3 tools and Visual Studio Code for those who ask.

Also i don't know if you have the SOG dlc but any chance for a similar mod for that?

You can edit the values of any armor.

I have a question, is it possibly to do this yourself but to like all armor?

It's a good idea to increase the strength of body armor, but unfortunately this mod impossible to use, because it distorts the NATO / CSAT balance. I ran a test and saw, it takes 10-9 shots to kill a NATO soldier, while killing a CSAT soldier takes 1-2 shots

must have mod. thank you very much.

Are you also going to make a mod that increases CSAT's vest to same armor as NATO?

@LuizBarros99 I could split this up into multiple pbos inside the mod folder so you can just delete what you don't want.
@apisorn18 I can't do CUP.

Could you upgrade armor from CUP mod?

Hey, would there be any chance of a version of the "Protective Gear Upgrade" mods without added protection to the vests?
Because when playing with ACE mod, one turns into too much of a walking tank/bullet sponge if an uniform that provides protection AND a vest such as the Carrier GL Rig are equiped at the same time. Other than that I really like this mod a lot.

FYI - @NATO Protective Gear Upgrade\mod.cpp, line 1: '.name' : Missing ';' at the end of line

Thanks man!

I found the issue. Looks it was SSU PGU overriding some inhertiances from NATO PGU that caused the U_B_CTRG_1 to have default values. I've rewrote NATO PGU a bit to improve compatiblity. Hopefully, this fixes the issue for everyone.

U_B_CTRG_2 and U_B_CTRG_3 do have buffs even with the Stealth Uniform issue.

CBA_A3 appears to be causing this issue.

You are right: without some mods, CTRG Stealth Uniform has correct buffs.
However, with SSU PGU on, CTRG Combat Uniform (U_B_CTRG_1) loses buffs, although its variants do not. Will check further on other mod issues.

I doubled checked with NATO PGU on, CTRG's Uniform does get a buff, even when being used along with SSU PGU. Have you tested if the uniform do take more hits like the CSAT fatigues? If it really isn't buffed, then perhaps one of the active mods on your list is also overriding the CTRG's Uniform, try playing only with this one to see if there might be some conflicting mods.

The helmet is fine though

Unfortunately, I am not seeing the CTRG Stealth Uniform buff on NATO Protective Gear Upgrade?

NATO PGU buffs all NATO combat uniforms including CTRG's Stealth Uniform. SSU PGU doesn't affect any base game equipment, only those added by SSU.

Perhaps the Stealth Combat Uniform of CTRG could also use a buff? The SSU upgrade does not affect that one?

Looks like the uniforms were missing some ACE variables that caused them to be invincible with ACE Medical. I wrote a fix that worked on my end, hopefully it works for everyone.

Hi, this mod seems not compatibility with ACE Medical system. With this mod enabled, medical status failed to sync between clients, and player will not receive any hurt in singleplayer scenarios. Could you please check it?

Oh NICE! Thank you for this mod now I can take off the CSAT gear haha.

u should expand this into the AAF CTRG CSAT and SPETSNAZ

@☣Tsubaru☣ A lot of classnames were used to make this. If you have arma tools and PBO manager, then you could open the mod's pbo and unbinarize "config.cpp". You'll find all the classnames and code there.

@apisorn18 You could use this mod to increase capacity in general.

What are the uniform classnames? I want to make overpowered versions of NATO gear for my own fun.

Could you also increase the load capacity please?

Of course I'll look into it when I can.

Could this also expand into the LDF and AAF vests and armor? I feel like they need some of this love too.

uh what? Bruh, CSAT Armor is superior and it's supposed to be superior to NATO Counterparts, also that's in the lore, CSAT technology is superior to NATO, btw i'm Nato #1 fan

Thank you!

It was more to make it feel like not getting one shotted so often.

Why are the uniforms armored? just to balance it out so the armor itself isn't crazy? Obviously it's not realistic but I'm curious.

The strongest armour known to man, a cotton-polyester blend.

Sweet, No more need to run CSAT build since their armor is far superior

The new values for the heavy vests take 8 point blank shots by 6.5, + 1 when wearing armored uniforms. The lite vests generally take 1 less hit.

Anybody tested what it can hold up to point blank with the new values?

thank you

Useful in Campaigns

This mod doesn't work for rhs uniforms because they do not inherit from vanilla NATO uniforms. But some mods like "Military Gear Pack" do work since they inherit for the modified uniforms.

rhs mods?
