So for anyone struggling with the helper tool app insisting that Arma 3 Tools isn't installed, I looked at the source code, and the app seems to be digging around in non-existent registry entries to find the installation directory. In my case I had to add the install directory to a string entry here with Regedit to fix it:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 233800\InstallLocation

I'm not sure if Steam simply neglected to create the registry values or what, but I suspect it's because I copied my Steam library from my old PC. Completely uninstalling and reinstalling Arma 3 Tools might fix it, but verifying the tools files clearly does dick all, in classic Valve fashion.

Seeing as it looks like the author has been away, does anyone have any resources on making compat packs with the helper tool? The author's discord link no longer works, the github page doesn't make the process very clear, and there is virtually no direction anywhere at all otherwise. I've been fighting with the helper tool for 2 days and would love to talk with someone who knows how to use it!

update please

Can't even open ace arsenal, he won't open. Someone know a fix?

Seems some weapons and gear are missed in this. Is there a more up todate version of this mod to include newer DLC and stuff?

Great mod and the RHS compats are fantastic. Any way we could get the same for 3CB Factions?

@Razorteam321

The ACE3/CBA_A3 loadouts are actually identical to the vanilla loadouts, except there's extra data (the face, the voice, and anything else) after the loadout itself. If you ignore/drop the extra data beforehand, you can save the loadout as is.

Arsenal*

Does anyone knows how to import ACE Loadouts to the Virtual Armory Loadouts?

Oh yeah, that's a feature of ACEAX core, it has to do with me using the faction tags which I did because they seemed to be the best fit. I'll have to look into it later. Also, thanks for the WS compat!

Also, I have put together a compat for the Western Sahara CDLC

Hey there's something going on where vanilla assets are "faction locked". Pilot coveralls for AAF or CSAT, for example, are not appearing in the arsenal when loaded into a dedicated server on the BLUFOR side. I'm not sure if this is a behaviour of ACEAX Core, or if it's the Vanilla & Ace version by Pet Mudstone.

Broken with the new 3.18 ACE version

Question about the future, cause I was really interested in it. There's some mods like SPS equipment that add a LOT of options for optics and suppressors. Would it be possible to move the Arsenal option over to the optic category?

for 3CB Factions please

Does anybody know which ace3 RDLC causes f3 and f4 to open the laser mode png (it prevents me from selecting units 3 and 4 in my squad to issue orders)?

Is it possible to modify existing model (from another mod), without creating new one?
Like i have options A,B, that have values a,b,c and I wanna create new config which adds new values d and e for option A,B?
If i copy whole "class XtdGearModels" with all option and values, then adding new values - ingame nothing showing in arsenal (like even basic versions aren't creating)

I'm not sure if theres a way to make it work, but currently I currently use the built in ACE3 restriced arsenal. I love this mod, but it allows people to choose options that they shouldn't have access to. For example, currently our server is on a woodland map and we're using M81 gear from USP. With this mod installed, it allows them to change the pants to any camo. Is there a way to restric the options to just whats allowed in the arsenal?

When i open the uniforms tab, my game freezes and crashes a few minutes later. pls help

Mod seems to allow for camo combinations I have specifically disabled in the arsenal

Great mod. Dont listen to that sling guy. He has no brain

This is horrible and actually just makes the arsenal WORSE.

I believe the latest ACE update may have broken the labels that appear to the right side

Please update.

Finally, I have uploaded a CUP patch, featuring tons of camo backgrounds unique to particular items. Like, way too much.

Hi, is it possible to temporarily disable ACEAX's functions (ACE arsenal will return to its normal status, without grouping up items' entries)? Sometimes it will be better to use normal ACE arsenal to copy-pasta items's classnames.

can ACE Arsenal have a test /using Vehicle?

@Mr.Sterben : Can you contact me on Discord or Github ? https://discord.gg/CyHt2T3rYv

Hello, ive been having issues with ur mod, i try to use it with SMA but it just dont work not only for SMA but with all other mods like RHS etc. even tho i use compats, can u help me by any chance ?

Here's a Tier 1 Weapons patch, which I decided to do on a whim.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3081740902 .

Well you would need to have the uniform in question allow patches to be added to it somehow, as in there's a part of the model that allows patch adding. In theory it should be possible but I'm not keen on the specifics. The USP compat patch does allow various patches to be added to unifoms, I should state. You might want to join Grue's server for additional help.

Does anyone know if it's possible to add additional patches that can be added to uniforms? Would love to see Livonia's flag in there, and was wondering if there is a way to do it ourselves (just for personal use). I unpacked the .pbo and looked around a bit but couldn't find anything.

Thank you @[1eGTD] Sch. J.GrueArbre for your help and your fantastic mods. If anyone is still having the UI bug what worked for me was removing any of the old aceax files as the author recommended. You can open your mod files from the launcher and search to see what mods still contain the old files and remove them. Thank you again [1eGTD] Sch. J.GrueArbre!

I don't know if it was the recent ACE update or something else, but the problem seems to have resolved itself.

Problem has been solved for users that have contacter me on Discord or Github. Some issue may still exists, but I have no information on them. May you send me the rpt file of your game session on Discord or Github ? https://discord.gg/CyHt2T3rYv

I have reinstalled, repaired, manually deleted/redownloaded it. Moved it in my launcher, done everything and still getting the UI bug. I even loaded just the 4 mods required for USP to no avail. Something is broken for sure.

i tried that as well same result i deleted the mod reinstalled it repaired it moved it down

As in no longer soft-locking, and able to access previously saved loadouts

Hello, try moving down ACE3 Arsenal Extended - Core, to the lowest load-order position. That worked for me and my lads.

im still getting a pbo error with???? am i missing something i repaired all the ace mods

Since the fix after the ACE update, it's now the case that when I, for example, equip a vest, the first option from every possible one is no longer automatically selected by default, but some other one. Is this a bug, or do I need to adjust something in my gear mod?

@dropdeadsmed666 It's fixed for the version available on Workshop, you are likely using a repacked version.

Anybody find a solution to the arsenal U.I locking up after the last update?

If you have still an issue :
1- Try to repair mod with Arma 3 Launcher to ensure you have the latest version
2- Check that you do not use a mod that repack ACEAX. You can try to move the mod as the last one in the list, to override any repack in other mods.
If thoses steps does not fix the issue, please send me the rpt file of your Arma 3 session on Discord https://discord.gg/CyHt2T3rYv

Just like everyone else I have encountered a bug were the ui will soft lock when opening in the editor and zeus.

Doesnt work in the ACE Arsenal from the main menu either, the arsenal doesn't show up at all.

Still broken. Arsenal GUI won't go away, locks up my server when you open the arsenal

I updated the mod and I still get soft locked when I try to open an arsenal

Its still broken for me

love you no homo
