AmmoBugCleaner

[Poweruser[RS]]

During a short visit on Funhouse I was asked to put together a client-side mod which kills ammobugs only (no flags, object spawning, or whatever).
So, here it is:
d/l link: ABC2_1.zip (109 KB)

I went a bit further than just adding a useraction to the player whenever he's near a 'ammobug-object'.
Thanks to init-eventhandlers one can respond to all ammobug-objects being created during the game,
and remove them automaticly once a certain number of objects in one place is exceeded. That is most helpful
when when the players don't know where the ammobug is. Or when the one player, who has a 'just-useraction-ammobug-mod'
loaded, already died in the game and is unable to do anything, because he's sitting in the spectator script.

Do not use this mod, when you're already running some other mod like ECP, which comes with its own \bin\config.[bin/cpp] as you can not have two game configs running at the same time. One of them will get discarded.

Hmm
I see that you are actually promoting this, by adding it to the downloads page and making this topic a sticky.
It might be wise get rid of the old version (1.1) then and handout the current one (2.1)

DL:
ABC2_1.zip (109 KB)

I've rewritten it in mid of May and am using it since then and havent changed it since then.

Major differences to 1.1:
- much faster on medium to large ammo bugs (500+ objects), cleans up within a few seconds
- more reliable, (v1.1) tended to throw script errors on large ammobugs (2k+ objects)
- no more cleanup user action, everything is done automaticly
- fixed ammobug size limit: 50 (has been proven to be a good compromise between temporary ammo caches/non-impacting ammobugs and impacting ammobugs)
- no more configuration file
- threw out all "publicVariable" stuff

Still:
Do not use this mod, when you're already running some other mod like ECP, which comes with its own \bin\config.[bin/cpp] as you can not have two game configs running at the same time. One of them will get discarded.

Sometimes when cleaining ammobug, clean all ammo what I put in vehicle(s). Versiion 2.0 have the same problem?

Any time there is an ammobug you should move vehicles at least 10m away to stop it then go back and use the cleaner on it with out the vehicle nearby.

No disrespect for the work, but I have never thought that an ammo-cleaner is a good idea. It is good for missions designed where crates are provided, but not so good for missions in which you are supposed to scrounge weapons and ammo from dead enemy. However, someone asked I add it to our download page.

I can not support a mod that will automatically delete anything. This sounds more dangerous to me than the ammo bug itself.

Tell the noobs not to load vehicles. That is my ammo-bug cleaner.

This mod does NOT:
- remove ammo/weapons from any vehicle cargo
- remove dead bodys
- remove ammo/weapons from dead bodys
- delete just anything

It only removes WeaponHolder and SecondaryWeaponHolder objects. These:

When this condition is met:

- more than 50 WH/SWH objects within a rectangle with the side length
50m + 0.05*(object count at this location)

k. i stand corrected. will upload soon.

Just found and fixed a little bug, new version:
ABC2_1.zip (109 KB)

[Mr.Peanut]

No settings file in zip. Should there be one or is this no longer required?
