VTS Simple weapon resting [BETA]byL etranger Description: Our server community was missing the possibility to rest our weapons and improve our shooting stability, so while waiting for BIS to implement it or ACE to be release, I cooked this and feeling sharing it:
-It does work with every weapons (even future addons one). -You can rest the weapon on windows frames, top and on corners of objects. -You can also rest your weapon on a crouched partner. Installation: Extract into the ArmA 3 Directory, by default this is located in: 32-Bit - C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/Common/ArmA 3/ 64-Bit - C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/Steamapps/Common/ArmA 3/ After extraction it should look like this: Steam/Steamapps/Common/ArmA 3/@your_mod_folder_name You can also use the "Arma 3 Alpha" folder in your "My Documents" folder. Your folder setup could than look like for example this: mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name\ mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name\ mydocuments\Arma3 Alpha\@your_mod_folder_name\ Place the "userconfig" folder into your game install folder, usually: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3". Edit userconfig/vts_weaponresting/vts_weaponresting_config.hpp to change the shortcut (Optional). You'll also need to add a Launch Parameter to Steam, in order to do so right-click on ArmA 3 Alpha and click Properties and then Set Launch Options. In the window that opens enter in -mod=@your_mod_folder_name For using multiple mods you would then do so like this: -mod=@mod_name;@mod_name2;@mod_name3;@mod_name4;@mod_name5 Note: You can also use -nosplash to get rid of the splash art and intro videos. And of course you can also enable and disable community made addons and mods through the in-game Options Expansions menu if you do not want to mess with startup parameters! When the above information still does not provide you with enough to learn how to install custom addons and mods you can always ask in our Guide On Installing Mods. Included files: vts_weaponresting.pbo Usage: The default keys to rest your weapon is : Space + Ctrl. Media: Changelog: v05 - Removed CBA requirement - Addon now compatible with singleplayer save & reload v04 - Resting weapon now also decrease aiming sway v03 - Resting your weapon now allow you estimate the direction & force of the wind. - Fixed BI key (really!) v02 - Fixed BI key (now using V2) - Added an audio feedback when resting the weapon v01 - Initial release Forum topic: - BI forums Enable javascript to be able to download from Armaholic please! |
The concept of this mod is great but I cannot get it to work. I've tried installing the mod and have tried moving the files but i always get the error:
"Include file userconfig\vts_weaponresting\vts_weaponresting_config.hpp not found."
I know where this file is and it is in the mod folder. I don't know how to get it to work and help would be appreciated.
You should not place the .hpp file in the mod folder. The PBO and keys should be in the mod folder while the .hpp file should be in a separate folder outside the mod folder. So just copy the entire userconfig folder that comes included with this addon's download directly into the Arma 3 directory and it should work.
Thank you! I got it working now. I had the userconfig folder under the Arma 3 folder in my documents not in steam but it works great now.
SO ... DANG ... HANDY!!! Thank you!!
Great mod thanks so much.
Thanks again,

Can't make it work but i am kinda drunk. i see it in my expansion list and don't get any error message the space and control don't see to be the default keys. I am not a programer and might have done some thing wrong. I have the steam mod scrip in place i think unless it is not loading but it is showing up in game. Any help would be great.
If only certain weapons equipped with bipods would deploy.
oNLY wORK WITH bis WEAPONS???? im trying to deploy the bipod in a SR25 with bipod (SF nato and Russianw eapons pack by massi) and doesnt work :(
You could make this mod a bigtime.
I would like to request an icon (like TWR) with instant response (on/off) when the weapon is actually resting.
And if you would update it to atleast to the most popular weapon addons you would make this a high profile mod (like TWR) except Arma3 actually fixed IMO the most effects that you practically needed a mod for in A2 (most but ACE & ACRE) the TWR removes alot of nice things (like NVG+4x)for whatever reason.
Weaponrest and bipods is a remarkable question to me how it's not included in this so called sim as vanilla?
OK, this mod works great when I have NO enemy on the map (when editing and preview). After I place any opfor on the map and preview the mission the weapon resting no longer works. Why is this? Am I doing something wrong? Is there something in the userconfig that I am missing? Please help with this as it is extremely frustrating that it cannot be used any missions that I am making (unless I don't have any enemies).
okay having some problems with this have tryed with a vanilla weapon and did not work doesnt give me any errors or anything can someone tell me what there's wrong have all the files the right place
Appears to have stopped working since Arma 1.14 update. Is this confirmed?
Extended event handlers still required. That's CBA. I guess maybe those requirements were not removed after all?
This excellent, indispensable mod is the only one I use with Arma 3. I never play without it, even the SP campaign. It is even more essential after version 1.24 introduced increased weapon sway. Had trouble with SP save/load compatibility, but that has been fixed in v5. Great work, L etranger!!!!!
Well done. It would be nice if You could remove the picture that pops up when you are resting the weapon. The animation with the klick sound is enought to realize that the weapon is rested. Arma should get more authentic and realistic. So no pop ups. If You could tell me which data to remove would be enought. Thank You
