You misunderstand, we can't even get cable here in this part of Indiana.  We are eagerly awaiting it's arrival

@The-Architect
I will try out the config on my comp and report back.

Do you mean you get no cable service at all? Or is that our cable provider doesn't have internet service available? I can't imagine what its like living without cable (No TV!   ). Personally, I've become quite acustomed to Digital Cable TV and high speed Cable Internet.

This config works for me:

Code: [Select]

//Defines common to ALL addons:


#define TEast    0
#define TWest    1
#define TGuerrila    2
#define TCivilian    3
#define TSideUnknown    4

#define TFriendly    6

#define true      1
#define false    0

};A CfgPatches is required.

EDIT:
We use satellite TV.  No cable here.

Oh, I'm so sorry for you  

[The-Architect]

Yep. Works now.

Cheers for the help guys it is greatly appreciated.

I still think it would be better in one of the other slots but seeing as I'm only checking if the player or team member has it, I can easily just give it to a team member.

Thanks again.

If you want the laptop to be in the secondary slot, the one where the AT weapons go, change this line in the config:
weaponType = WeaponSlotBinocular;

to:
weaponType = WeaponSlotSecondary;

The laptop will now take up the secondary slot.

P.S.  If any of you saw what I first posted (the message before "Typing Message") and thought "wtf is he on?", I have a reasonable explanation for it.  I loaded up OFP to test the solution, however, the mouse was still in IE.  When I hit enter to go to the mission editor, it posted the message I wasn't finished with.

What about an ammo slot?

[Pilot]

You shouldn't need anything in the ammo slots, unless you want something there, that is.

What I would ideally want is for it to take up a couple of ammo slots. No secondary weapon slots, because that puts the model on the players back, a little too high up for it to look ok. Not in a NVG or Binos slot, because the player is going to want both of those.

Ammo slot is ideal for now obvious reasons.

Having it in the Bonos slot is acceptable because I can gve it to another team member. I don't give them Binos anyway.

You simply can't assign a weapon to take up WeaponSlotItem's, so the only way you are going to get it to take up those slots is to make it a magazine. The problem with that is that a unit can't take a magazine without a weapon that can "use" the magazine, and then you would be adding 3x as much extra work than you really need.

I figured that might be the case. Ok, I'll just keep it as is. Thanks for the help guys. Excellant work.
