Hey, the mod works on local hosting and singleplayer but not on a dedicated server

Can you add the thigh/shin/forearm bulletproof vests?

Could you add compatibility for Vanilla Gear Expanded? There's 4 vests

Bullet vest - ATF
Bullet vest - Press
Bullet vest - FBI (blue, gray)
Bullet vest - Police (gray variant)

If not it's fine, I can do a local copy if needed

Hi, I can't make it work and I don't know why. the stats doesn't change. I'm using b41.

@Cyrisa Thank you. That goes a bit beyond the scope of this mod and my modding understanding. This mod is essentially just a simple txt.file with text. If you have a particular bullet proof vest mod you like, you could probably find the defense values inside a text file and just change those to 100 (though your changes would be overwritten anytime it updates unless you make it into a local copy)

I just want to say I have been using this mod for years and I love it. In fact I wish all "bullet proof" clothing items followed your format.

Though at times I really wish this could apply to other armor sets in other mods. As they usually have really unappealing stats. Like 40-60% protection. Thus they never get used. Is there a way you could override like the protection clothes category that would increase all stats via sandbox option?

Without doing infinite compatibility patches. Im unsure how else it could be done.

Makes sense. Thanks for the Info!

@AfroRobot I don't plan on modifying any other armors or items aside from the ones already modified by the mod. This mod was originally made back when Bulletproof Vests were cosmetic only, and had 0 defense value for Bite / Scratch. Bullet Protection didn't even exist back then. The vests all offer the same amount of protection so that one can choose which vest looks the best on their character.

IMO it's a good consideration unless you plan on using mods that add or rework police/military armor. I think a more comprehensive version of this mod would tweak some other armors, as well as balancing out the limb armor, and being compatible with other mods. Since I use Vanilla Gear Expanded I'll favorite and play without this mod for now.

In vanilla, the Magazine Chest Armor has more bite/scratch than a Bulletproof Vest; this mod changes that.

The side effect is that all other chest armor becomes obsolete as now bulletproof vest will offer more protection than any other chest armor, while retaining its bullet protection. It unfortunately also doesn't address limb armor. Magazine limb armor still has more bite/scratch protection than bulletproof-armor.

This mod also doesn't play well with other mods that add or rework police/military armor (like VGE, KATTAJ1, RAZ, etc) for various reasons. I would have made it something like "Civilian 70/70%, Police 80/80%, and Military 90/90% to incentivize armor upgrades. For perspective, Magazine Armor is 80/90% but washes off in the rain; Bone Armor is 80/90% but way heavier/slower.

@Cosmic Monkey this mod doesn't change that, so however it works in vanilla

does vest work with jacket ?

Good Mod

is this still needed or was it added to vanilla?

@zaidism you shouldnt be listening to ppl on the internet lol. just try it

@BiggusThiccus I was tempted to get mini health panel but that mod tends to conflict with a lot of other UI and medical mods from what I've read.

I mean, it is possible. I'm currently using: Armored Vests, Common Sense, Mini Health Panel, Realistic Army Zombies, Reorder Containers, Reorder the Hotbar ; and I've yet to run into errors.

@Memmo Common Sense, Fix BlowTorch. TPMS, Mini Health Panel, Item Condition, Armored Vests, Reorder Hotbar, Rain Cleans Blood, Reorder Containers, Equipment UI, Has Been Read

Any chance it could be one of those?

I have had an issue with Item Health, it spammed Lua Errors when I put a gun in a holster

Could be mod conflict then, hard to say without knowing what other mods you have active. I've been playing with the mod active and have not encountered any issues myself.

@Memmo B42

@BiggusThiccus which version, 41 or 42?

Lot's of LUA errors when this mod has been enabled. Are there any known issues with other mods?

Cheers! Glad to hear it!

yes, it's working now

Right, so I changed one line in the mod.info and for me I was able to activate the mod in 41 without any issues. Does the issue still persist?

game does't not recognize the mod and in the list of mods in the game save it is displayed as missing. Build 41.

Game doesn't recognize the mod, my save file show's the mod in red letters. Mod is missing from the mods screen. Build 41.

Updated to B42. Should still be compatible with 41 Stable. Please report if you have any issues with this mod.

Awesome mod

Does this mod work with the absorption system from the zRe ARMOR ABSORB SYSTEM by kERHUS mod?

anyways great mode

is there any chance you can optimize the protection. exmple: gasmask protection 45 scratch 30 bite

Just awesome

So far a great mod dude

Great mod ! Just a question, as every helmet in the game already provide 100/100 protection for the head could you not add some neck protection for the gas mask as its head protection is kinda useless because by the time you find a gas mask you will already have found a helmet. Anyway, thank you for your work :)

Bro, know that you are just a handsome man. Great mod.

@guppy gaming Thanks for letting me know. That should be fixed now.

I'm pretty sure theres a typo on the airforce helmet, it is 95.0 instead of 0.95 like all of the other clothing items that decrease combat speed. Wearing the Air Force helmet makes your character swing much faster instead of slower

Yup, that is indeed the case. This mod is literally just a notepad file with some text in it.

Thanks, not sure what was doing that. Regardless i figured out that the stats are literally in the game files as just notes to be edited lol to my preference.

@Canada this mod doesn't touch tank tops. You can find the items and the stat changes this mod is responsible for in the mod folder in:
\ArmoredVestsWORKSHOP\media\lua\client

Open the file armoredvest.lua in Notepad or Notepad++

These are the items whose stats the mod changes:
Vest_BulletArmy
Vest_BulletPolice
Vest_BulletCivilian
Boilersuit_Flying
HazmatSuit
Hat_NBCMask
Hat_SPHhelmet
Hat_GasMask
Hat_BalaclavaFace
Hat_BalaclavaFull

Yeah thanks it does help. What about that problem with the tank top though did you figure out if it was this mod?

@@Canada
You can easily remove the texture yourself, if you go to :
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\YOUR ZOMBOID MOD FOLDER ID\1962761540

Then Inside the 1962761540-folder you open: mods -> ArmoredVestsWORKSHOP -> media -> textures

Just delete the entire textures folder and you will have vanilla civilian vest texture.

Does that help?

hey can you add an option to remove the civilian vest retexture, i like the white one since it has pop culture apperances and is asthetic with other outfits. Also i think this mod might accidentally mess with the tank top giving it alot of protection, might be another mod but maybe check and get rid of that. Also amazing mod even if its simple.

@Chicken Leg the retexture is for Civilian Vest; part of this mod.

What is the vest retexture in the second image?

I did some research and it looks like that bullet proof vest aren't that effective against bade weapons. Too much to go into here but if you just look it up you'll find out what I am talking about.

Really cool mod though, since it dose make sense to me anyways

Would be nice if you'd made the mod configurable! I personally don't like that all the vests offer the same protection and would like ot be able to tweak that.

@ Fleshka should be. Never had any issues between the two myself.

compatible with Brita Armor?
