TOP- Vehicle Penetration Rules Arma Reforger Mod

TOP: Vehicle Penetration Rules lets a server decide which weapons can hurt which vehicles, and how much. It works with vanilla and modded vehicles and ammunition. FEATURES - A rule for every weapon group against every vehicle group: ALLOW (normal damage), BLOCK (no damage), or a damage multiplier such as x0.5. CUSTOM lets you type any multiplier. - Crew protection: when a vehicle blocks a weapon, the people inside behind its body aren't hurt either. Crew in open hatches, windows or truck beds can still be hit. - Stopped rounds: a round a vehicle blocked does no damage to anything it hits afterwards. - Optional armour for each vehicle group, so rounds that can't beat it stop or ricochet at the hull for everyone. - Your own groups: make, rename and delete weapon and vehicle groups in game, restore deleted built-in ones, and move a mod's rounds and vehicles into the right group (each group lists the others' to pick from; Shift- or Ctrl-click for several, or add a prefab by name). - F9 settings menu for Game Masters and admins, with three tabs: Settings: the switches, the vehicle-by-weapon grid and armour. Hover over anything for an explanation. Groups: what's in each group, and the group editor. Last shot: the full log of the latest shot that hit a vehicle or its crew. Click a round or vehicle to open its group. - The #vpr chat command and RCON do the same. - Every change is saved on the server and applied again after restarts. GROUPS Weapons: Small caliber (pistol and SMG rounds), Rifles, Rifles AP, Heavy MG, Autocannon, Anti-tank, Explosives, Other bullets. Vehicles: Cars, Trucks, APCs, Tracked, Helicopters. Up to 10 weapon and 8 vehicle groups. - Modded vehicles and rounds join the group of the vanilla prefab they're built on. - Every explosion and its fragments count as Explosives, because a blast doesn't say which warhead caused it. The jet and spall of HEAT rounds count as Anti-tank. While Explosives is deleted, explosions do normal damage. - Other bullets is the catch-all for bullets no other group claims, including most modded rifle and machine gun rounds. - Anything in no group takes normal damage. - A renamed group keeps its first name for #vpr and the saved settings, so its rules, armour and contents stay with it. DEFAULT RULES - APCs: block Small caliber, Rifles and Rifles AP. Armour 14 mm. - Tracked: block Small caliber, Rifles, Rifles AP and Heavy MG. Autocannon does 25% damage. Armour 40 mm. - Cars, Trucks and Helicopters: Small caliber does 50% damage, the rest normal damage; their own armour. - Crew protection and stopping blocked rounds are on. The debug log is off. SETTINGS MENU (F9) Game Masters and admins press F9. The key can be changed in Settings > Controls under "TOP: Vehicle Penetration Rules". Left-click a cell for less damage or thicker armour, right-click to go back. One click past BLOCK is CUSTOM, where you type any multiplier. Changes apply to everyone at once. COMMANDS (Game Masters and admins in chat, or RCON) #vpr status - show the current rules #vpr on | off - switch all rules on or off #vpr rule <vehicle> <weapon> <allow | block | 0.5> - e.g. #vpr rule apcs heavymg block #vpr armor <vehicle> <mm | off> - mm: 1 3 5 7 9 10 14 20 25 30 40 80 100 #vpr crew | stop <on | off> - crew protection, stopping blocked rounds #vpr group <round | vehicle> <prefab> <group | none | default> - e.g. #vpr group round Ammo_6.8_Hybrid riflesap. Several prefabs: separate them with ; #vpr newgroup <weapon | vehicle> <name>, #vpr renamegroup <weapon | vehicle> <group> <new name> #vpr deletegroup <weapon | vehicle> <group>, #vpr restoregroup <weapon | vehicle> <group> #vpr debug <on | off> - one line per hit in the server log, and the latest shot in the Last shot tab (not saved) #vpr reload - read the mod's defaults and the server's saved settings again #vpr reset - back to the mod's defaults; clears the saved settings Groups can be given by name or by their number from #vpr status. ARMOUR GUIDE (vanilla rounds, up close) Rounds get through more up close, where they're fastest. - 7 mm: stops pistols and nearly all non-AP rifle and machine gun rounds. - 14 mm: also stops rifle AP (except 7.62 M993 at close range) and .50 cal ball. - 20 mm: stops every vanilla rifle round. - 40 mm: stops every vanilla heavy machine gun round, including .50 cal AP. SERVER SETUP - Add the mod to the server; players download it as usual. - Changes made in game are saved in VehiclePenetrationRules.txt in the server's profile folder, one per line, written like the #vpr command. Edit it by hand and use #vpr reload, or delete it to go back to the defaults. - Keep the debug log off on live servers. COMPATIBILITY - Doesn't change any vanilla prefab; hits are judged as they happen. - Other mods' vehicles and rounds are matched by path, so those mods are never required. - Works alongside TOP: Weapon Damage Rules.
