@hellbent Yes that should work with any equipment. For anyone else wondering.

You can go into Eden Editor, add them into a crate, save as a composition, then spawn them into Antistasi with Zeus and transfer to Ammobox for Antistasi. That's how I did it.

good job, you should add more locations on the body for it!

@rcroeser youll have to consult with whatever Antistasi Ultimate is, and a mission maker.
rcroeser 1 Oct, 2024 @ 11:16am 
Hey man i like this mod but i wanna use it for the units in Antistasi Ultimate, i cant use zeus to place them and then loot them, i wanna know if there is a way to use it.

This is only available via arsenal.

Does this work as a "wearable" (Face / NVG Slot) or is it some sort attachTo system?
Jedi  [author] 12 Aug, 2024 @ 1:18pm 
@Léon André No, I had to cancel that idea because too much clipping.
Dominique-Jean Larrey 12 Aug, 2024 @ 1:15pm 
Is there a version for legs?

@FoxFort

There are many uniforms all over vanilla alone that make the bands useless cuz the bands clip into the uniform so far that you can't see the band too well, so they'd need to be made less realistic by widening the distance between the band and the uniform.

^ Personally I considered that unacceptable, but I've come to think the realism part is the least of the problems, so if doing some widening or whatever is what it takes, then so be it cuz I think our group would use them in missions more readily as a result. I know I woulda.
FoxFort 20 Aug, 2023 @ 12:54pm 
Looking good, it's just shame that not really fit AAF uniforms. Any chance you could make a bit more fitting one for AAF ?

To give everybody in the team green armbands run this in the game console when you're an admin:

{
_x addGoggles "Armband_Green_medium2"
} forEach units player;

To get ID of another armband - wear it and enter
goggles player;
and it will return an ID.

Any plans on adding armbands that better fit the RHS gorkas?
Whale 17 May, 2023 @ 12:28pm 
Kickass. Thank you so much, man. This makes them so much easier to organize.
Apricot_ale  [author] 2 May, 2023 @ 7:25am 
ACEAX config is WIP. I'll adds those config soon.
Whale 21 Apr, 2023 @ 10:28pm 
Would like an alternate model for variety, i.e. one more like this old thinner, plastic tie:

This mod would benefit immensely from use of the ACE3 Arsenal Extended framework, which would allow the armbands to take up 1 spot in the arsenal instead of >30:

@jedi I wish you will create super yellow armband :)
SirBassi 7 Apr, 2023 @ 10:52am 
Hi, very nice work. Do you have somewhere a complete List with Classnames for integrating a Whitelist Arsenal ? Thanks a lot.
MurMur 21 Feb, 2023 @ 7:16pm 
@jedi you already have most of the primary colors, finishing it off would be nice, its just another like 3 or 4 colors
JerryKan 19 Feb, 2023 @ 6:06pm 
@Jedi Good evening. I did create a custom unit. I think I fixed it by going into my addons options and disabling auto NVG equip. I noticed some units did not remove their armbands I had equipped in the glasses part of their inventory. Thanks for the suggestions!
Jedi  [author] 19 Feb, 2023 @ 5:44pm 
@MurMur what colors would be useful in addition? I could probably add another color or two
Jedi  [author] 19 Feb, 2023 @ 5:44pm 
@JerryKan What you are describing is a vanilla behavior, AI units get assigned a random headpiece.

If you want the AI to wear it you'll have to use the addGoggles command with the relevant class, or create a mod with a custom unit that has the armband.
MurMur 19 Feb, 2023 @ 4:49pm 
Please add more colors, I've run out of colors to use for factions for my RP servers :steamsad:

Thank you for the hard work.
JerryKan 19 Feb, 2023 @ 1:55am 
The Ai keep taking these off soon after a mission starts. Is it a mod I have? Any ideas?
EeshSinGer 12 Feb, 2023 @ 8:13am 
Hi there, I just want to say this is an awesome mod, but I was wondering: could you add armbands for single arms as well? like only one armband for one arm, left and right. Thank you for reading this, and have a great day :).
Apricot_ale  [author] 4 Feb, 2023 @ 4:59pm 
Thanks!
Jedi  [author] 4 Feb, 2023 @ 11:21am 
Fixed the incorrect naming (credit to Apricot), let me know if there are any issues.
Apricot_ale  [author] 1 Feb, 2023 @ 9:42am 
@Jedi
Bug report.
Medium Armband (Facewear slot) has wrong name (XL)
STyx2909 31 Jan, 2023 @ 9:16am 
Could this wearable be adapted so it can be attached to the backpack or the uniform? I was thinking about a 2 sided object with a color.
Apricot_ale  [author] 31 Jan, 2023 @ 2:26am 
If you're going to make a mission that requires both, put the NVG in your inventory and replace it with an armband when you need it.
(or if you are screenshot maker, you can photoshop)

In order to make it look like soldier wearing an NVG while wearing an armband, we'll need a new model, which will be a lot of work, and you'll also need to write a large amount of configuration for that. It's not simple. so never makes.
Apricot_ale  [author] 31 Jan, 2023 @ 2:24am 
Exactly so.
The NVG tint makes the color of the armband invisible.
We can give the NV function in the config, but the goggles will not be reflected in the appearance. It results in a loss of immersion, and armbands do not make sense in terms of identification.

Such identification at night is usually equipped with IR beacons, IR chemlights, etc. Please use ACE or some scripts.
Jedi  [author] 27 Jan, 2023 @ 5:56pm 
Also.... why do you need a armband if its night and you need nighvision? Nightvision makes everything green... I see no reason to add such a thing.
Jedi  [author] 27 Jan, 2023 @ 8:15am 
@nerexis youll have to pick one in that case. It makes very little sense to have a nightvision mode on a armband model. Many would argue that is immersion breaking.

Its impossible to cover every case and this is the best its gonna be.
nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com 27 Jan, 2023 @ 3:29am 
@Jedi but then I can't use a proper Facewear to cover my face with lets say mask, which is also not good :/ Also in some situations we use masks which protect soldiers from Chemical Warfare at night, in this situation we cant use armband because either: we die from Chemical Warfare or we die because we dont have NVG :D
Jedi  [author] 26 Jan, 2023 @ 11:47am 
@nerexis There are facewear items for this purpose. If you want to use Nightvision in addition to an armband then just use the facewear item.
nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com 26 Jan, 2023 @ 11:02am 
@Jedi yes, because if you use NVG slot armband you cant have NVG for AI/Players units. Its like that in another armbands mod.
Jedi  [author] 26 Jan, 2023 @ 7:54am 
@nerexis can you clarify what you mean? You want the NVG slot armbands to have nightvision mode?
nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com 26 Jan, 2023 @ 5:36am 
@Jedi For those armbands for NVG slot, can you please enable a basic NVG for them (or make it configurable)?
MurMur 24 Jan, 2023 @ 10:52pm 
Would love some more colors for my RP server.
nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com 21 Jan, 2023 @ 11:32am 
XL and XL2 versions seem to be mixed between colors.
Apricot_ale  [author] 20 Jan, 2023 @ 9:54pm 
I decided that having armband-size indicator would lead to a bloated file-size and not "simple" so I didn't make. If Jedi want, I can make but it's too hard work. (One image per type is required, which increases the file size by nearly 7 times.)
Jedi  [author] 20 Jan, 2023 @ 1:05pm 
@nerexis The key does not change per update because it doesn't have to. What does change is the pbo and bisign files (which are signed with a private key)

If there is something wrong and I used the wrong key let me know, but Im pretty sure I just created this key so there shouldnt be a problem.
nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com 20 Jan, 2023 @ 1:02pm 
Also would be cool to get a new server key on each update, so we can be sure all players have the same content.
nerexis | nmilsim.wordpress.com 20 Jan, 2023 @ 12:57pm 
@Apricot_ale @Jedi Would be great to have an armband size indicator in the corner of the icon S, M XL etc. label.
Apricot_ale  [author] 19 Jan, 2023 @ 12:57am 
Thanks for update!
Apricot_ale  [author] 18 Jan, 2023 @ 8:21am 
ok! I'll send this
Jedi  [author] 18 Jan, 2023 @ 8:12am 
@Apricot_ale oh nice! Yeah I can add those. Shoot them my way
Apricot_ale  [author] 18 Jan, 2023 @ 7:55am 
It's an item icon, not a mod icon.
