Cannot switch weapons while moving and keybinding issues. (RESOLVED)

[SSG (Ret) McAllister]

So I've been trying to install all the required mods So that I am ready for training.  As of right now everything looks good except for four things.

- I cannot seem to switch weapons and move at the same time.

- I cannot toggle whether my weapon is raised or lowered (default keybinding / my keybinding is left ctrl x2).

- Some actions, such as the micro stances and switching grenades don't always activate on the first press.

- The Podagorsk map doesn't have a preview of the map when you select it in the editor.

The switch weapons while moving mod seems to be part of the 506th mod pack.  I'm not sure what could be wrong, would there possibly be a conflict between it and one of the other mods?

Not being able to lower my weapon is confusing as I checked the keybinding and even reset it to be left ctrl x2 so I know it's reading that as a keyboard input.

Switching grenades and using micro stances seem to take an extra input.  This is a slight problem as they usually cause me to move a bit.  (First time I hit ctrl + s I'll move backward a step, second press I'll go down a stance).

It's just the picture that shows up on the loading screens and map selector in the editor that are missing.  I can load the map just fine and I don't receive any errors.

On a side note, is there a checklist of things to test to know that everything works?  Besides playing around in the editor and virtual arsenal I don't really know what else I can do to test that everything is working.

Any help that can be provided would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

The only way to continue moving while switching weapons, is via a client side mod. I don't know if this is on the approved list or not, but Arma as of yet, to my knowledge, has not allowed for weapon swapping on the move.

The issue you're having with weapon toggle (up and down) has to do with AGM. Load yourself into the editor, his your ESC key, and you'll see up in the top left corner of your screen, AGM Settings. Top of my head, I can't remember what two (2) settings use CTRL (which is overriding your Arma keybind). One has something to do with showing names, I think. It's on the front page. Disable them, and your keybinds will return.

I haven't had any issues with stances or grenades. For your grenades, are you using the vanilla Arma keybinds? AGM allows you to cycle through them using the 6 and 7 keys. 6 cycles through lethal grenades, and 7 through non-lethal. CTRL+G cycles through the grenade throw options, and then finally G throw says grenade.

I don't think Podagork has any preview map thing. As long as it loads up without errors, I'd say it's working as intended.

The other one your looking for in AGM is Modifier Key I have both set to Right CTRL.

As far as stances Control look at this post if the above did not fix it.

Its in our modpack.

You need to bind the key that allows you to switch weapons on the move. User Action 17 is the switch to handgun button, user action 18 is switch launcher.

I haven't started phase II yet, but it is my understanding that you get a lot of this info in the first session if phase II.
