Adding a Weapon

[JamesF1]

I'm taking the plunge from scripting/mission-making, and trying to do some basic add-on related stuff. I've read a bunch of tutorials, etc. but I can't make my 'sample' work... I wonder if anyone can give me a hand. I'm simply PBO'ing this config.cpp, and dropping it in a modfolder's addons folder, and loading that mod.

The properties are rather 'random' at the moment, so I don't expect the weapon to actually do anything useful - I just would like it to appear in a unit's loadout.

I've fixed all of the errors I was getting in the RPT file, and now when I do

this addWeapon "TestWeapon";

no errors occur (either on-screen or in the loadout), etc. but the weapon doesn't show in the unit's loadout.

Would someone mind taking a look and let me know what I'm doing wrong? Additionally, can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial... I'd rather have something that explains the format a bit better than the Biki (which is very vague in this area), or a bunch of non-specific/too-specific forum threads.

Thanks in advance:
