Wierdness has infected my mod!

[Spectre-63 0]

I need to go back and do more testing but I've run into an oddity that I just can't explain and I'm hoping some of the more experienced modders might have some hints:

I've created two versions of the same .cpp file - one 'tagged' with my prefix, one that is 'untagged' to make it easier to integrate into existing missions. If you enter the Armory with my mod loaded (both the 'tagged' and 'untagged' versions), you should see two M16A4 ACOG GL entries. The top one is the 'untagged' version and the bottom is the 'tagged' version. For some reason, the GL will work for the 'tagged' but not the 'untagged' and the configs are identical for both. At first I thought it might've been an issue with the M16A4_ACG_GL entry in the Weapons3.pbo but if you unload my mod, the original functions properly.

When you look at the soldier inside the Armory, he spawns without grenades, which is clearly the problem. The question is: why does it work for one and not the other? I thought it might've been ArmA objecting to the files being overriden, but the M16A4GL WITHOUT the ACOG works just fine.

config.cpp for the 'untagged' version of my mod below:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Between this strangeness and the inability to get the soldiers with the modified loadouts to appear, I'm about ready to pull all my already prematurely-grey hair out!

Quote[/b] ]the configs are identical for both

if you are loading both configs at same time ,then one is over riding the other ,just like both are over riding the original.

maybe you have used the same class in both configs and one is canceling the other by over riding it.? wont know without seeing both configs though

ofp2 -

thanks for the response...I was just ready to 'bump' it after 92 views with no responses.

I should clarify that the configs are not truly identical. The 'tagged' version puts S63_ before all the modified class names. i.e. 5Rnd_HEDP_M203 becomes S63_5Rnd_HEDP_M203 in the alternate file.

The part I find most confusing is that the issue with ammunition appears to affect only one object: the M16A4_ACG_GL. The M16A4_GL works just fine, as do the rest of the weapons. If I didn't know better, I'd think that the .pbo for the M16A4_ACG_GL had some additional override protection that the other objects do not.

I'm at work at the moment but will grab the config for the 'tagged' version once I get home.

I noticed that you're defining M203Muzzle in M16A4_ACG_GL from scratch while it's already inherited from M16A4_GL. Maybe try and take it out? Just a wild guess.

I actually found the error last night: the M16A4_ACG_GL had an extra "};" in it and that caused the issue with the GL not getting the info on the Muzzle...hence no 'bang-bang'.
