MAPE (Make Armor Plate Effective) 1.4.0

Please do not ask when mod authors will update their mods to 3.10 or if they can upload older versions of their mods.
Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to eventual bans.

Make armor plates to protect you like old tarkov (not completely)

DO NOT USE WITH REALISM MOD'S BALLISTICS FEATURE

If you want to use both mods, turn off realism's ballistics feature. (thanks GMAK3R for testing ;) )


And also if you are using SAIN and feel like this mod does nothing, try raising bot's scatter multiplier.


What is this?

This mod makes armor plates to work like old tarkov. (not completely same)


How it works?

Armor and Armor plate's hitboxes use character's body hitboxes(Thorax, Stomach, ...) instead of BSG's actual plate hitboxes(FR Plate, BK Plate).

This feature is applied to not only player but also every characters (scav, boss, ... everyone). So TTK will be much longer than before.


Customization?

You can change some configs(Protection Type, Additional custom items, Armor plate protectable area.. and so on) in config/config.jsonc

I wrote comments in detail, so I believe you can understand them.

  • Yeah this mod is one of my faves

  • I really like the idea of this, but I would love to know something. I've looked in the config too, but I'm none-the-wiser. Will the thorax be protected by both your front and back plate from all angles?

    • No. Plate's protection area depends on where the plate is placed.


      For example, if the plate is inserted in the front of the plate carrier, it will protect the thorax and armpit area, but it won’t offer protection to the back. Similarly, a plate in the back will only protect the upper back area.

    • that sounds fantastic. great job

  • what is makes? it makes armor stronger so combat time longer? please tell me! RAWR bugcatchillin bugcatohwhy

    • you can edit the config.json, so armor plate can protect other parts like jaw or neck.

    • oh ill use this then! RAWRR! bugcatchillin

  • Update this mod is a necessary!


    keep it the way it is and make it 3.10 then add the new stuff overtime.

  • I've tried to do some editing with your mod and can't seem to make MoxoPixel's mod Tactical Gear Components mod work with yours. The plate carriers aren't showing any armored areas.

  • Hey I've been using custom plate mods and am running into the trouble of the custom plates not having armored areas assigned to them. Is there any way to integrate your mod with my custom plates?

  • it says Artem by MoxoPixel. I'm not the Author of Artem. Just a heads up!

  • I don't know if it's just me but for the armor plate on 6B13 assault armor (Flora) the armor plate doesn't have armor areas. which I think will make the bullet pass through.

    • If you are using SAIN, try changing its options. Turn off PMCSAimForHead and raise recoil scatter multiplier in bot settings. It worked for me.

  • Sorry, but in the game the armor plates stopped performing their function of protection, the damage began to pass into the body through the armor, leaving the armor plates intact, is this how it should be?

    • Check if you have other mod that affects to armor system or try changing mod order to the last.

      And also if you are using incompatible custom mod's armor, you have to add them manually in config.jsonc.

  • Does this work with realism without the armor changes?

    Heart 1

    • I'm not sure because I don't use realism mod and haven't tested it. But I think it might work. Just test it yourself.

  • Currently you need to make a new folder for MAPE, I suggest making it Mape (ZIP), MAPE, contents of mape.
