Well you should definitely freak out about it. Be sure to lash out at anyone else who has a different more mature way to handle this situation also.  :blink:
 
 
People with a more patient understanding of things are usually in the majority.  Sadly, it's the few ignorant loud-mouthed people who seem to take to the forums and spew a bunch of trolling Bullchit claming they have an army followers who think just like them.  

Hey folks,
 
some time ago i pushed something to the public, but here is next!
 
 
"Damn which Truck was the open Camouflage one?"
"Bah cant remember which of the Vehicles holds the most amount of Magazines and Weapons..."
"How many Players can Drive in XYZ Vehicle?"
"How fast can that Vehicle go?"
 
"What the hell a 'Donald' skin look like?"
"'Rocker 1 2 3 whats the difference?"
 
Ever had such questions?
 
 
Here you go - VASP - Vehicle and Skin Preview
 
 
This little Mod let you Preview any Vehicle or Skin in the TraderMenu.
Vehicles will show additional Infos like:
Max Speed Max Seats Max Cargo Weapons Max Cargo Magazines Max Cargo Backpacks Max Fuel Max Armor All stuff is totally client side spawned and will not be visible to any other Player on Server!
 
The Player clicks in the Tradermenu on a Vehicle or a Skin and he will get a hint message to press F5 for a preview of it.
 
While in preview, you can use these Hotkeys:
Zoom in/out:       Arrowkeys up/down
Rotate left/right: Arrowkeys left/right
Close preview:   F5
 
After preview the Tradermenu will open again on the same spot the Player left it for the preview.
Just hit Buy and the last previewed item get bought.
 
Easy as Pie.

Thanks Vamp! Spot on and Timely as usual.
 
This is a win/win. Now when the people on my server complain about bandits not dropping weapons I can tell them that you did it since, technically, you did write the code. :D
 
Your thankful and innocent victim, Razz.
 
j.k., of course :)

If you use this DZMSAIKilled.sqf it will strip all the gear off the AI when they die. I'd suggest then leaving the crates as default.
 
Turn DZMSRunGear on in the DZMS Config.
 

My issues is I have to many weapons as loot on my missions. I have setup each mission to have around 15 bandits. Including the crates there is a lot of loot to be had. I'm trying to decrease the amount of weapons in the crates. I have tried to manipulate the code in DZMSBox.sqf but nothing is working.
 
I'm changing the following as per a post earlier in this thread. As you can see I have set it to as low as I can take it but the weapons are still spawning at 6 per crate.
//load primary _scount = count DZMSprimaryList; for "_x" from 0 to 1 do { _sSelect = floor(random _sCount); _item = DZMSprimaryList select _sSelect; _crate addWeaponCargoGlobal [_item,1]; _ammo = [] + getArray (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> _item >> "magazines"); if (count _ammo > 0) then { _crate addMagazineCargoGlobal [(_ammo select 0),(round(random 1))]; }; }; Or! Is there a way to have the bandits weapons despawn after they are killed? I see you have this setting for the RPG. Is there one for regular weapons as well? This would easily take care of the amount of loot on all my missions.
 
p.s. Great MOD. It's a staple of my server.
