Hello ItzMikeDocherty.
We have tested this on our end but could not reproduce.
Combining plate carrier with 2 or more 40mm explosives is attaching them to plate carrier - once full they are moved to cargo.

Could this be potentially caused by some of the modded clothing you use?

Hey Geez, thanks for taking the time to investigate and respond.

We will look into this further on our end with our own mods although we are using just the standard vanilla plate carriers and standard vanilla 40mm grenades so I'm not sure. And the other clothing that the character had was also vanilla (apart from the backpack and shemagh)

I'll post another response here when we find any more info. Thanks again, and apologies for not investigating further initially <3

Hey Geez, we tested it again on a server which only had 2 mods running.

VPP admin tools
CF

(those mods were just added to allow us to spawn the items easily)

The issue still happened with only those mods running, as far as I know neither of those mods have any effect on clothing at all, nor do they include any modded clothing.

We did notice that it only happens when you drag the 40mm Grenades onto the vest in a certain way though. Basically, if you attach the grenades directly to the grenade slots, it will not explode.

However, if you drag the 40mm grenades onto the image of the plate carrier which appears in the inventory screen, after the 2nd grenade is attached they will explode.

Please ignore the horrible spelling mistake and art skills xD

This made me curious and I tested it and ran into the same issue (while running Community Framework and Community Online Tools).

I tried it with different kinds of grenades, this is what happened with 40mm smoke grenades:

1. Add first smoke grenade to the vest, it attaches normally.
2. Drag a second grenade onto the vest. It will not attach to the vest and the previous grenade on the vest is ruined (HE grenades explode and gas grenades release gas).
3. Attaching the second grenade is like starting over at step 1, attaching another grenade ruins this grenade etc.

What I found out:

• Only 40mm grenades (smoke/HE/gas) are ruined this way
• Probably doesn't matter which vest (tested plate/stab/press/smersh)
• I tried this while running Community Framework and Community Online Tools
• I spawned the items I needed to test this and hosted the server again without mods and the grenades did not get ruined
• Hosting the server again with both mods:
  • Using the same vest/grenades that just worked without issues worked again without ruining anything
  • Spawning a new vest and new grenades however ruined the grenades again

I'm guessing it has something to do with CF. @ItzMikeDocherty maybe try this again without mods running?

Very very strange. I have no idea why CF would cause something like that.

Thanks for taking the time to share some info though, we will do more testing without CF and I'll contact the mod author if it does turn out that CF is the source! <3

Happy to help, I'd hate to blow up like this. :D

Our server devs are reporting that they can still make this bug happen without any mods on the server at all

hmm

I also did a test with no mods at all.

It explodes on combine action, for some reason I am able to combine 40mm grenades in vicinity or in any storage.

Hello everyone.
We only have been able to confirm this only when using some sort of admin tool mod(Such as COT). When spawning the grenades with these, it does not spawn full quantity of Ammo_40mm. This is why it is possible to combine them and then they explode.
This is not possible with grenades that spawn the regular way.

Interesting...Well, thanks for spending the time to look into it Geez and crew and relaying that info.

Apologies for the wasted time

Same thing with COT and m79+40mm. When spawn 40mm ammo via COT M79 won't load them into the chamber, they will go back into inventory or fall to the ground. On the other hand naturally spawned 40mm grenades works perfectly.
