Uhm, you can move the camera around with the bulldozer keys, if that's what you mean ?

Damn. Check, will fix

Similar issue for laser designator+batteries, perhaps all weapons?
I don#t think so, I use a function that was just recently added to the scripting commands, and I guess it works only correctly for rifles... I'll need to investigate

Nope. Can only right click drag to move the camera left, right, up down, its fixed above the player's head. Scroll zooms the minimap. My bulldozer keys are set to Numpad keys and work with the camera.sqs though.

I'll see about using the normal keys, then... Might come back to you for testing if that still doesn't work.

More suggestions for A3 Debug weapon loadout.
List only weapons without any attachments. It will be easier to browse the weapon list, also I'm certain that if you use a weapon with already configured attachments(ie. srifle_EBR_MRCO_pointer_F instead of srifle_EBR_F), the default gets used or at least there's a mess.
Use linkItem to add items instead of 'addItem' and 'assignItem'.
On related note, I found out that if you fill up all containers (uniform, vest, backpack), the saved loadout fails to add items. I'm guessing it's because between addItem-ing them and assigning them, they're in the inventory (using just addItem adds the item there) and since there is no space (there was when you did the loadout as the items were already assigned), they don't appear. Not sure if linkItem bypasses that or is just addItem and assignItem commands merged into one, either way, it's a good idea to leave some room in the inventory. :p

Sigh...
Updating the console right now, I'll upload the new one once it's finished

New version with forceAddUniform support as well as bugfixes. See first post
Re: Doing custom loadouts, the easy way with @fhq_debug - Phantom - 06-19-2014
add button for uniforms on character customization doesn't seem to work
SCRATCH THAT: only works for own unit's uniforms. I assume that part is still using the old addUniform instead of forceAddUniform.
This was tested on Massi's African civilian fighters.

Yes, using addUniform

Is there a reason why the exported script uses global addMagazine/addWeapon commands?
I use FHQ debug to do my loadouts and according to alwarren the picking up weapon crash is caused by the loadout script
(07-28-2014, 01:04 AM)Alwarren link Wrote:Okay, it seems we found out why it crashes. Your loadout script runs once per client, so everybody had like five pistols. Once you get rid of the extra pistols, you can pick up enemy rifles again.

Quote:Adds a magazine to the unit. Note: You may create invalid combinations by adding more magazines than the free space in unit's inventory allows. When doing so, application behaviour is undefined.
I run the scripts as described at the end of the first post in this thread and I recall the previous versions of FHQ debug used the regular (local) commands.

If you don't use global commands, the items will only appear on a local player, but if e.g. a remote player opens the backpack then that backpack will be empty.
There is an additional problem that a JIPping player will trigger all the init fields of units in his group again, or even on all of his side. If you don't ward this with an extra safety variable, JIP will cause the loadouts to be reset, as we have witnessed yesterday when we played SUb Raid.

What if I add the commands in the init line instead of running a loadout script?

That's not enough. For some reason, the init fields are re-run on JIP.

Last night on my mission Press Release where I used custom loadouts, autoriflemen had one Mk200 box magazine whereas on local, I have one loaded and two in vest. Grenadier was missing two magazines and apparently the leader started with the rifle unloaded. Again, on local it all looks ok.

Weird... I wonder if that is reproducible. I still think that a number of issues (like weird backpack behavior for example) is due to the network architecture. If that is true, then we should see considerably less glitches like this after the next patch, since it will contain the guaranteed updates for network packages.
