KPSradical Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 *suggestion* Can we please add this mod in for more realistic insertions by parachuting on EU 3? Multiple times I hear people wanting to do HALO jumps onto or near the A/O but the entire group decides not to because it limits the person to no backpack because they have to equip the parachute itself which replaces the backpack. This makes sense as you would want to have the most space possible to get the job done.This mod however solves all these problems by allowing the user to equip the parachute and backpack. When jumping it puts the backpack on front of the solider and the parachute on back. When you land you are then able to switch back to your backpack. This makes things very convenient. Mod Page: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24529 Mod Description: This addon allows you to put a backpack in a ventral position . All backpack in the game are supportedYou can now put your backpack in a ventral position to realize a parachute jump from a HALO Helicopter or airplane .You can carry 2 backpack with this feature for best practice LOGISTICS in cooperative play . -Sincerly, KPSradical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Flar3 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Think it would be great to have this mod on EU3, and would fill a few platoon commanders dreams (even if half of their plans fail if it involves para drops), also will add more tactical options.

JuX Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 You can operate well enough without a backpack, did test runs a while back and did even operate a "Ranger" squad, with sole purpose of airborne (HALO) deployment and reinforcement. Every person gets plenty enough ammunition and each carries basic medical supplies to ease medics job. Can also procure weapons and ammo on site from enemies or dead friendlies. The problem is unable to use long range radio, while doing it. Can still be done, but requires use of multiple channels to contact squad, command and pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessedUpSmiley Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I proposed a similar mod a month or 3 back. (Feedback tracker) It was denied, because the mod was broken. I spent some time looking for alternative; came across this mod. Messaged alganthe -seeing he was the one who found out the other one was broken- about it and apparently it was (also) broken in the similar way. It would be very nice if ACE could implement something similar within their self-interact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plant1ing Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 First we need this thing going. I don't know how comfortable is having 20kg or more in front of chest when you pull that parachute. I saw H.A.L.O. jumps but paratroopers had backpack between their legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 To be honest you can still achieve a parachute insertion via the Huron/Chinook just like in reality, and that has already been done in Eu3 before. And I swear I saw a mod that can put a backpack in front of the player character and compatible with ACE3, not sure if this is the one that's deemed broken though.

Ryko Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 There's also BackpackOnChest mod - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=28837 Requirements are listed as Community Base addons A3, Advanced Combat Environment 3 (ACE 3) Perhaps someone could test it out on EU3? -R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessedUpSmiley Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 *SUGGESTION* BackpackOnChest Mod Description: - Adds the ability to put his backpack on the Chest. (This gives a huge advantage especially when parachuting)- Adds a backpack on Chest-Action to the ACE3 SelfInteraction-Menu- Forces the player to walk while having a backpack on the chest Positive sides: - Would make parachuting a lot more common, seeing the only downside is that we can't take that much gear with us right now. - C130 would actually have a use. - It's only 1MB - It works with ACE - Requirements (CBA & ACE) are already in the repo. Downside: - None I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryko Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Technically this suggestion isn't Gauntlet feedback, so I didn't want to post there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Luke Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 This needs to be added to the server, one it will encourage others to try things new other than just infantry and two it will also let them have the freedom to carry there normal gear eve when deploying as a specialised unit.

Ryko Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 This would be great to have, but apparently alganthe has checked and both of these mods don't work properly. I've seen another variation on this theme, it essentially lets the player "store" his backpack in the parachute, and when he hits the ground, the parachute turns into the backpack. -R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alganthe Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'll give a look to both if I can fix the issues I had with them since I have some free time. MessedUpSmiley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alganthe Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Did some tests, FSF sacVentral suffer from JIP issues and respawn issues. BackpackOnChest is simply broken ATM. Note that both of those mods don't have any github repository where I can provide any contribution, thus I'll just make a new mod with the feature (Putting the backpack on your chest) in my free time.

alganthe Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Unfortunately after testing multiple implementation I've come to the conclusion that this feature couldn't be added reliably, the reasons why are described in this PR: https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/pull/2794 The others mods adding this feature suffer from those as well.
