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.

Vehicles work great, but when I try to preview a skin, I get kicked for a remote exec violation.

 

#2 "this allowDammage false; this disableAI 'FSM'; this disableAI 'MOVE'; this disableAI 'AUTOTARGET'; this disableAI 'TARGET'; this forceSpeed 0;"

 

I still don't understand how to write battleEye filters for something like this.

1) Works great with antihack disabled, can't get things working with it enabled. I think F5 is one of the banned keys.

 

2) Am also getting the same remote exec kick as above.

 

3) After closing the preview, is the trade window supposed to be closed? Mine pops back up but it's blank:

Would be great if there was just an option to preview vehicles only.

 

How would I go about disabling the skin preview part of it?

 

Also only problem I see is when you exit the preview you have to shut the trader window then re open it to do anything else.

 

Great work.

Update v1.1

 

See first post.

 

Changelog:

Fixed the BE-Filter kick, removed some code that was not needed anyway.

The Tradermenu should now popup where you left, on ALL Maps and all custom Traders, if they use the Traderdialog from Epoch!

A config block in the VASP_init.sqf aloows you to turn Vehicle/Skin preview On/Off

 

For the F5 Hotkey problem with Infistar:

I'm not familiar with making GUI's so i used a Hotkey for it. If u use Infistar you would need to remove the F5 block from his files.

Dont ask me how to, if someone know how, please tell!

 

 

Moo,

Otter

I would not recommend this as it looks like it will allow ANY Hotkey again!

Maybe there is a way to just remove the F5 from the code?

Dont have the infistar files so cant peek in for it.

F5 is used for base destruction, so the only (easy) solution would be option to remap to another function key, shouldn't be hard to override using values present in your config.

 

Very good job on the script, btw. Awesome idea!

A friend of mine said one Day: "How cool would it be to have a preview of the Vehicles cause i cant ffs remember what the Vehicle's are look like"

So i made one and decided to put some infos also in the preview, to inform the Player about some features of it.

 

So credits for the idea goes to him ^^

ServerTcache_ doesnt say anything to me, never seen that in the files this Mod uses?

 

Tested this Mod now on Sauerland, Chernarus, and Napf and Tradermenu was working fine after preview. Weird.

Which map your server is running on?

I am currently running it on Chernarus map "overpoch" server. Tested on home server. Will be able to test it on my live server in like 20 minutes.
