Only some custom cameras addedSolved
So I added about 10 custom cameras to the CustomCameras.json. I see you've added the Facepunch cameras which is great.

I used /cctv autoadd on, placed a station, but I only see the ones I added to the CustomCameras.json. I don't see the default Facepunch cameras.

Also, I see a Cobalt1 at my station, but it doesn't exist in the CustomCameras.json. Not sure where that's from.
Hi @Bumfuzzler,

The config automatically populates with the server cameras, to begin with. In order to add them to your station you need to use `/cctv autoadd custom` or `/cctv add custom`. Purely using `/cctv autoadd on` will add your personal cameras to the station and not what you specified in the custom cameras file. I'll update the documentation page to help make this clearer for you and others in the future.

Hope this helps,

EDIT, I reread what you said.

So just because the cameras are in that file doesn't mean people will get them?

I guess what I expected was that as an admin, I would add cameras to the custom file. Players would automatically have them added to their computer station. I didn't expect players would be adding their own cameras to the file.

I'm not adding my personal cameras to the file. I'm adding server wide cameras that I want everyone to have access to.

Hi @Bumfuzzler,

By default, computer stations will not automatically populate with the custom cameras defined in the file. (But will likely become a feature in the next release) For a player to access the cameras defined in that file they will need to have permission to use `/cctv add custom` and / or `/cctv autoadd custom` to automatically do so.

Players cannot add their own cameras to the file, however as an admin if you wanted to add your own camera to the file i.e. to serve a roleplaying purpose you could do so and use `/cctv add custom` or `/cctv autoadd custom`. This allows for the mixing of server owned cameras and player/admin built cameras, ideal for roleplaying communities.

If you want your players to only use the cameras provided by Facepunch you can give your players access to `/cctv add server` and `/cctv autoadd server` 

If you wanted your players to have access to everyone's cameras (No privacy at all) you could give them access to `/cctv add all` and `/cctv autoadd all`

If you want your players to add only their cameras you can restrict the access to only their owned cameras using `/cctv add me` and `/cctv autoadd me`

Unfortunately, you cannot currently have computer stations automatically populating with cameras without the player running one of the `/cctv autoadd` commands, however, it is planned for the future to be able to do so in a configuration file.

I hope this helps you with your questions, 

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
