Is there any way to repair body armour or has this been intentionally removed ?

[IceShade]

I wish there was, but it's not required anyway.

Due to a bug (surprise!), any body armor is instantly repaired/reset to 0% wear when you leave the map (i think).

In any case, it will reset and be perfectly usable again.

So far there is no way to repair any body armor. But since the armor doesn't take any damage when worn by the player I'm not sure I'll change that. I think our Russian friends are getting closer to fix this, and if my "Realism freakish" friends doesn't disagree, I might add the body armor group to the repair tool script. With a high enough mechanic skill one might be able to repair it, but as I said, it will depend on the Russians.

I actually like this new setting, it forces me to scavenge after a fight, and when I know I need some new body armor, I start using headshots a lot more

@ Decker

You cannot remove something that there was never there.

@ Iceshade

Since the latest version, body armors as well as helmets do keep their damage even after reloading. In short, it was a bug and was fixed by our russian friends. Kudos to them.

Repairing body armor? With what? A needle and thread?
*end rant*
Its a nice realism -lol- touch and ,as you said, the game gives you more than enough body armors to scavenge and replace the damaged ones.

I was thinking more in the lines of genetically breeding a "spider-goat", you know, like the Americans did. It would work like the queen jelly in JA but it would repair the armor at the same time as increasing it's protection values.

P.S. Just kidding, I agree that armor should not be repaired but scavenged instead.

@ DFN: some traders in vanilla version allow repair by right-clicking on the armour (or helmet and guns) during trade.
edit: may depend on cgl (?)

I also noticed armour resetting to 100% after loading a save.

Anyway thanks for the replys, it's such a minor issue it's probably not worth fussing over.

Hi R@s,

I´m checking this post daily. Will version 1.7 out soon? I don´t want to start a new 1.6 game when 1.7 is out soon and I have to start all over again.

regards,

The next version was planned to be released in a couple of weeks and I was about to start testing it this weekend. But something has come up, I have had some problems with my mail and I got some new weapons later than expected. This will delay the release a week or so.

So far I've added 38 new weapons, many of them completely new and unique for the BSM. One of them, made by Geroj, has such a high coolness factor that I think I need to make a mission for it

But if you feel up for it, you can always help testing the new version. I'll upload it next week and if you're interested, drop me a PM with your mail address and I'll send you the link.

Next thing you'll be telling me that our Russian friends managed to fix the memory leak..

This game is getting more polished by the week, it seems.

I've always enjoyed the idea of 'struggling to survive', rather than being able to buy every possible thing right from the local gun dealer. It always struck me as a bit odd that some random guy in a shithole of a south-american country has this massive armade of weaponry, from a 6G30, to a MG-3s, to a SR-25. Randomly damaged weapons and irreparable body armor is a great step forward. I'm looking forward to 1.7!

Sheesh I struggle to survive enough the way it is now.

Is there any way to fix the crazy annoying "target lost" when the enemy runs behind a toothpick?
