SupportCall - "Cheat" module

Heh, yeah, other things in the Vehicle category, such as grenade launcher tripods (GMG mini tripod) were not useable either. I thought about the unlocking vehicle menu item, but that does not appear in my Other Assistance category. Would that be a team leader-only feature too?

[Kronzky]

Yeah, the issue with the spawned vehicles seems to be an engine bug. I even tried joining the vehicle to the player group, but nothing helped. (Once you're the leader, or left the group, you can use any new vehicles normally.)

So, a new build has been posted (1.3.2), that contains the following new features:

• Player can be promoted to group leader
• Other AI units can be forced out of obstacles
• Up to 3 weapons or magazine types can be dropped at once

Noted another thing - had an L85A2 ACOG GL dropped in. It has a grenade launcher attached to it, but there were no grenades for use in the container so couldn't reload it. The normal bullets were fine, got plenty of magazines, but no grenades

Doh, hasn't tried requesting a magazine drop yet - stand by ...

Ok, back from Takistan:

Couldn't make out what mag to request for the L85A2 ACOG GL. Requested the M4A3 ACOG GL in stead and then called for some M203 HE shells.

Thanks very much for the speedy response, gonna try the new version tomorrow.

Cheers,

I love this already and I haven't even DLed it yet . . . now back to play Freedom Fighters the proper way!!

It's not my usual play style but I enjoyed the heck out of abusing your addon Kronzky, thanks for making it.

As a suggestion, it'd be nice to have a "Clear Weather" and "Rainy Weather" option. It'd be nice to replay some missions in different circumstances without having to unpack the .pbo.

[QUOTE=Kronzky;2169690]It (obviously) only works in Single Player. [/url])

Thanks for you reply.

Got it going and works like a charm!


I love using it for the Dynamic Missions the guys are making recently.

I cheat and I feel GOOD about it!

I totally second this. Maybe also "Random Weather" button as well.

happy to see "other AI units can be forced out of obstacles", will report in after checking "in practice".
Thanks!

You got it...
Just don't forget to bring your umbrella!

Can now use all airdropped weapons and there is proper ammo for them. Had a few issues when I made myself group leader. It seemed like they were still following the "old" orders, but I probably just need to sharpen up my commanding skills and "reset" them somehow. And then make them do what I say.

Had a really nice experience in that I played this oldie mission: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?108304. I asked for a better rifle, an ACOG to have a better scope. Then later on we killed off an ZSU-23 crew (a truck with a largish machine gun in the back) but we could not use the truck. Then this addon to the rescue - voila, suddenly we were racing around the desert in search of the crashed plane. Cheating? I think not, why should we not be able to use a perfectly fine truck that we fought down.

Thanks for the very nice recent updates - they made it a quite complete addon
