Mine Detector

[bujalski 14]

Hi R3vo, I've just finished a very good campaign (Royal Marines - Afghan Missions) that revolves around extensive use of mine detector, using your addon in every mission. It greatly enriches the game play, I enjoyed it very much and I've got two bug reports and a question:

1. (Single Player) The battery continues to be drained when the game is paused. I didn't notice it at first, because the timer stops while paused, but when you resume the game the minutes spent pausing are subtracted from the timer.
2. (CBA) When you open Configure/Controls/Configure Addons/Mine Detector, the last two positions are switched. The 4th says 'Delete mine markers' and the 5th 'Insert battery', but in fact the key bound to the 4th inserts the battery and the other way round.
3. Is this normal, or is it my configuration problem, that when I press e.g. 'Ctrl+F8' to enable the detector, I also get a standard menu as if I pressed 'F8' only?

Thanks for your feedback bujalski, I am glad you enjoyed using it.

I'll investigage that.

I checked the init and yes, I accidentially named them incorrectly ;) Nice find!

If you are playing with AI then yes, there is sadly no way around that. I'd recommend putting those actions on the numpad, or even the arrow keys!

Hello, great mod!

 

I would like to know, is the PWS repo here up to date?

It says v1.11.0.2 on the page and v1.17 when I use PWS, but it says it was updated on the 17th of July, so I am quite confused right now.

No clue, I am not maintaining PWS myself. Armaholc and Steam however, are both up-to-date.

Forgot to add our mirror for your newest version here I see.

So this is not a new release, just a post so people see Armaholic is up to date!

Hello,

 

I have a strange problem.

 

Whatever key or key combination that I try to use for "change battery", I can never change a battery, even though I have plenty on me, in the uniform, the vest and the backpack...

 

Same problem with the default keys...

 

Any idea to solve this?

 

Thanks

That's odd, just tested it myself and it works as expected. Any conflics with other mods?

When I equip the Mine Detector its functionality from vanilla still remains. Any suggestions?

No clue, I stopped the developement long before the mine detector update came out.
