No armor or ballistic protection with new uniforms

[bijx]

According to a comment on YouTube:

One problem with the uniform mod is that it doesn't give armour ballistic or explosive protection, but I like it

Theoretically, the armor levels are not overridden, so they should not be different than the base game values. This should be tested however, and if necessary, the values should be reintroduced to the configuration files.

Took me a while, but here's the files in question

I tracked down the issue to the cfgWeaponsBuilder.js script.

When generating the config.cpp I added the information for the HitpointsProtectionInfo class for both vests and helmet. The end result file is as follows:

/**
 * Generates the cfgWeapons code block for a given className and addons.
 *
 * @param {string} className - The name of the class.
 * @param {string[]} addons - An array of addon names.
 * @returns {string} The generated cfgWeapons code block.
 */

After replacing the original file this should generate the modded equipment with the proper protection values.
