Medical Boxes Have No Loot

[Pavillin]

Medical boxes that spawn at hospitals and missions are empty. Prior to the new year loot was spawning fine in the boxes. Suddenly the boxes are now empty and I can't figure out why. I cannot find any errors in the RPT. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

This is due to the Arma 2 OA update.

They are supposed to fix it..when i dont know.  Till then, you can revert your arma 2 update by simply doing this

Right click on arma 2 OA in steam, go to properties. Then click on the betas tab, in the dropdqown select LEGACY. Let the download be done and restart steam.

If your server didnt get automatically updated, you should be fine.

OR you can change the classname of the medbox to something else

Where would you look for the location  of the class name.  I looked in the loot files, not there.

do a search for 9001 in the ah.sqf you will find each block of code similar to the 9001 has the foodbox0 in it

I have done that for the donation boxes and it fixed that issue. What I am trying to do is find the location where it calls for the class name for the boxes that spawn in the hospitals.

 Maybe there is a way to add a box like the usordiancebox that will spawn in hospital till Arma fixes the problem?

Any update on this?  I still have this issue and can't seem to resolve it.
A possible solution was referenced here:  https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/186695-a2a2oa-patch-18122015/page-18
But where on earth is CardboardBox.hpp" located?  I can't find such a file on my server...

As for the "No Owner" Spam - If you create your Groups and Units in an appropriate way, you won`t have that Spam anyway. In my oppinion it should be left in, so that people keep in mind to do their scripts proper and not with messy or hacky syntax.

Also if you revert your client back to the legacy patch the medical boxes work again at least that did it for me.

Hey Mate, we discussed this issue in another thread, and a helpful person came up with a fix for it by changing the box type that spawns the medical supplies. Check it out:
