Help with AW Gauntlet.

[BACONMOP]

Seeing as many of you play on EU 3 more than I do I would like some help in writing a FAQ to be put into the map screen. It does need to be scripted in however it is pretty simple and I will show you a quick thing on how to do it but if you guys wouldn't mind either writing one yourself or just contributing a part that would be very helpful. If you do please just post it as a response to this thread.

<br /><font size='16'>Q:</font> How do I join a squad?<br />

<br /><font size='16'>A:</font> 

<br /> 1. Hold 'T'.

<br /> 2. While holding T, use your scroll wheel to interact.

<br /> 3. You can interact with the person you are looking at, or those within a 5m radius.

<br />

<br /> * Xeno's Squad Management tool had to be removed at request of the script author.

basically it needs to look like that. The <br /> is how you create a go to a new line. The "Squads is the subtopic and the "faq" is the main diary tab on the map. please try to cover everything from medics to checking the temp of a weapon.

"Shots left in magazine",

"

<br /><font size='16'>Q:</font> How do I check the amount of rounds left in my magazine?<br />

<br /><font size='16'>A:</font> 

<br /> 1. Press CTRL and press R.

<br /> 2. This will give you an indication of how heavy the magazine is and thus how many rounds are left.

<br /> "Green = full or near full, Yellow = around half empty, Red = almost empty if you can reload now if your about to move onto the enemy "

<br /> 1. Press left or right "CTRL" + P.

<br /> 2. This is the short range radio, the most common one (AN/PRC-152 2) Has a range about 5KM.

<br /> 3. If you press "CLR" you clear the frequency and you can type in a new one.

<br /> 4. When you are done typing in the frequency click the "ENT" button and you will now be able to hold "CAPS LOCK" and talk with other people on the same frequency.

PS: on the gauntlet can you put the pilot slot over the co-pilot in the menu? Because as it is now is says that co-pilot is the leader. Shouldn't it be the main pilot that was the leader?
