OK, thanks. Will see, if I be able to achieve anything in this matter.

This is so cool, but I can't help thinking I'm missing out on the vast majority of what it can do. Is there any chance we can get some basic documentation?

For the general scripter/mission designer (who uses scripts) the normal console view already helps a lot IMHO.

To be able to check variable values and execute code, also the different remote types in MP, is a big help.

As for the advanced features and key controls to ease the use even more, you can find the docu in the tickets.

At some point, someone, will merge them into a wiki page. You are welcome to push the wagon from the kickoff. :)

I'd love to, but I really don't want you kicking my arse when I screw it up. :)

Can someone explain the what and how to use the fields? I'll start the wiki ball rolling, but I need info.

1: Upper half: Enter expression, Down half: View result of evaluated expression, auto refreshed

2: Same as 1, except smaller fields

3: Enter statement to be executed, buttons modify the actual behavior; execute locally, execute remotely, only on server, everywhere, etc.

4: Same as 3, except smaller fields, with only 1 behavior; execute locally

5: Uhhh :D Seems to be a condition field for a trigger, perhaps to test triggers, all I got for now :P

Yup

5 is trigger condition and execution code.

One could script everything too, but some editor people are more used to triggers and might find it useful.

Btw there are more features to this.

How about a little competition: "Who finds another feature" :P

I must be doing something wrong. In multiplayer (hosted), I get the console, the mini map, and the unit markers, but I can't get any of the input dialog to work.

My method #1

Field 1. I put in p or p = getPosATL player;

Field 2. Nothing

My method #2

Field 3: p = getPosATL player; tried executing all four ways (Exec, rEXEC, Server, ALL).

Field 1: p

Field 2: nothing

Any thoughts?

Are you the admin?

Are you the admin?

I thought the host was automatic "Admin". Where would assign a pass word? Do I need a separate mp config? Sorry, but I assumed, I had full functionality when the other features were running. If you have a link to enabling admin for hosted mp, post or pm me.

Thanks,

ps

I have experience with StaDebug, so I know the benefit of this tool. I know others would love DevCon, but without some simple "How to" examples the nubies are going to be lost and frustrated. I'll write up readme and post up a wiki, but I'm afraid I'll need some spoon feeding from time to time.

Same results when loged in as Admin on dedi.

Well the host is admin yes, but you could have been a 2nd/3rd player on the hosted server too.

For me it works as host(ed admin). Did you try with only DevCon running and no other addon active?

I don't disagree with docu/howTo/guides, but they won't come from me this time.

There is basic docu in the tickets available at least - one only had to piece it together to a wiki page.

So I got it to work with vanilla, not with ACE. I haven't played without ACE in years. Thanks ACE team. So what gives?

It got it to work in mp LAN as host.

Ok that's a good start. For me it works with the latest ACE version loaded via SU.

What ACE version are you running? OA beta patches used?

Latest ACE, ACEX, ACEX_NAVY, ACEX_SM, CBA, ACRE, JayArmA2_lib and Latest Beta as of today, through the SU. No joy.

Just tried ACE and CBA. No Joy.

The only thing that doesn't work is the console. It comes up but no input is registered.

My method #1

Field 1. I put in p or p = getPosATL player;

Field 2. Nothing

My method #2

Field 3: p = getPosATL player; tried executing all four ways (Exec, rEXEC, Server, ALL).

Field 1: p

Field 2: nothing

I use SU and it's putting DC infront of ACE and CBA. ml like this -mod=@DevCon;@ACE;@CBA;

UIs there a way to change the ModLine in SU?

You can change priority integer of mods in the Mods datagrid, however there should be no need.

Try to put it last in the modline. However I couldnt find conflicting code in ACE.

Are you sure you load only ACE (+CBA) and no other addons?

No Joy. Same everytime.

cba then DevCon works, but i add ACE and no input. Would the ACE settings menu effect it?

Whats your mod line?

Sorry for the late reply. Got busy with RL.

So I got it working with @CBA;@DevCon in the mod line.

Added ACE like @CBA;@ACE;@DevConand @CBA;@DevCon;@ACE and it breaks.

I made 3 config dumps. One of each example above. Jcba-devcon.txt(works), NJcba-devcon-ace.txt(doesn't work), and NJcba-ace-devcon.txt(doesn't work).

Heres the link:

configDump
