Virtual Arsenal
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Since the latest DLC Virtual Arsenal is grayed out and useless. Made new presets and they too are grayed out. Others in my player group are experiencing the same thing, however some are not having this problem. Tried uninstalling and reinstall of Arma and deleting Arma 3 and Arma 3 profile from My Documents which made no difference. There is no mods and only vanilla Arma 3 running.

Event Timeline

Same issue here. Hope there is a workaround.

Thanks for the support celticalliance. Hope we both get better results than your forum post had. Clearly the DLC has broken something. I play Domination and thought that may have been cause but Xeno says it’s something BI has done.

You're welcome.

Yeah some community members think it's normal to act like a jerk about things to people with limited knowledge of matters, and limited access for that matter. The response of some forum team members is also quite well you know... I have therefore decided I will not visit that place again to ask for help, and I will refrain from actively engaging with anyone there. I've had enough of that place.

We tried repacking our missions but to no avail. Otherwise I have no clue what's wrong. I'm glad Xeno actually seems to know what is causing it. Now, if only Bohemia would fix it. Or better yet, do some proper testing before releasing things. It's always the same thing.

If you move your mouse over the loadout, you will see which mods are missing. Sadly the loadouts are safes binarized so you cannot edit them manually. If you are running with ACE, the ace Arsenal allows you to load loadouts with issues.

Right. I did not know this yet. I just did and saw it is related to Task Force Radio, something I didn't think was the case.

@kajschak do you mean running it in a mission on server level? We have never tried using ACE Arsenal so wouldn't know how to add it. Also, does ACE Arsenal allow us to load loadouts made with BI Arsenal?

Thanks for the input kajschak...very helpful and info I didn’t know either. I did know there has been a long running problem with Task Force Radio causing VAS to be grayed out. When I mouse over my virtual arsenal box I get Loadout contains non-arsenal item ‘novoice’ for loads created on one server and Loadout contains non-arsenal item ‘B_assaultpack_wdl_bwrepair_F’ for loads created on another server.

After some more checking I have more information although I find it more puzzling than helpful.

When playing Domination everything is grayed out. I'm able to create a loadout and save but not reload.
When playing Insurgency old loadouts grayed out but new loadouts can be saved and reloaded.
On Phoenix Consulting server nothing is grayed out.
When playing Invade & Annex Apex edition only those created on PCS server worked.
All cases the grayed out ones were for reasons previously indicated.

Do you have ACE Running on your Server and Achilles for Zeus? In that case, place down a Supply Box as Zeus, go to „Systems“ then just type Arsenal and it will show you the option „Add ACE Arsenal“. This comes with ACE, but Achilles, or most other Zeus Enhancing Mods are very good to have and create better Content for your players.

And yes it allows to acces BI Arsenal Loadouts. The ACE Arsenal has the option „Loadouts“.

Mysteriously my virtual arsenal problems have disappeared. Everything seems to be working correctly. Thanks to all. This can be closed.

Has not disappeared here. The Item „novoice“ is still making issues and prevents Loadouts from being loaded in vanilla arma

Yes, we are running ACE on our server. We also use Achilles. So if I understood correctly we could place a crate in our mission that allows access to ACE Arsenal and from there load the loadouts we made with BI Arsenal while running the mission on our server?

Our CO is actually planning to give the crates access to both Arsenals, so people with ACE can use ACE Arsenal and the others use BI Arsenal.

Edit: Our CO has added the code to the mission and it works now. We can load our loadouts fine and only need to add our custom arm patch and the Task Force Radio items. For ACE Arsenal to work though everyone first should import their BI Arsenal loadouts into ACE Arsenal from the editor.

We have tried this other people. I don’t know why, but it does not work for everyone.
We probably need to wait for the Mods to update or BI to return to load loadouts that miss items.
Or remake them... I rather roll back my Arma and export every single one of them. It is more then 50 Loadouts.

It's posted on several places that BI is to blame for this issue. I suggest waiting for them to fix it instead of putting in a lot of time and effort yourself ;)

I’m Zeusing a mission tonight. I prefer my men to have all their Loadouts at hand....

I think it has something to do with our configuration files. I'm crediting, rightly or wrongly, my deleting Arma3 including Arma 3 and Arma3 profiles in my documents. Then down loading arma3 and starting over. Anyway my Virtual Arsenal is working fine now.
