@LwmChuckMorris - Thanks for bringing it up. I will rework on that function to ensure it does not cause any more issues. The next update (within the week) should hopefully fix this.

Found a bug, when this mod is enabled, you cant pick up ace flash drive or note pads with ACE, as it gets replaced with "search for GPS tracker" prompt.
love the mod keep up the good work!

It is indeed planned for the next release - Ability to use map buildings and lights for hacking. The update should be out within this week :)

hello, is it possible to manage the doors and lights of the map's building or just with the ones that I placed (and synced)?great mod by the way!!

@Eagle Eye - You need to setup the user login using AE3's Add User Module in zeus. So the laptop must first be configured to be logged in and then you can start accessing the tools and functions.

I might be just dumb but I am having an issue with the ingame stuff.

as Zeus i put the ACE3 laptop down then use module Add Hacking tools on the laptop, I then put down a another object and use the module Add Hackable File.

i then leave zues and go up to the laptop and ace interact >ArmaOs> use this brings up the ingame UI first thing i notice is:

LOGIN>

now what ever i type (help) (admin) for the example ill write text anything it gives me:

USER: 'text' not found

is it me?

aw man i was working on something similar to this noo, excited to play around with it :)

@4N0N - I'll see what I can do. The 'guide' that is available within the terminal already provides an ultra compressed quick guide for the commands. You can type `cat guide` to read the information contained within. I'll see if I can get the QoL you wanted on this upcoming update. Otherwise, it'll have to wait for the next update. The upcoming update (releases in a day or two) fixes the problem with Add File and Add Hackable Modules throwing errors by delaying their initialization by 10 seconds after Mission Start.

@Marki - The upcoming update should fix that issue. Thanks for pointing it out.
