Since these people were having issues seeing the main body, I'm guessing it's an issue with there having been a shadowlod, since only the scout's main body had that LOD and the accessories did not.
If this fixes the problem, I'll have to release an update with new file paths for the models, since too many people have the broken version.

Here's a debug version of the Epic Scout subplugin, so you can check if any AMS-supported abilities are initializing properly, especially if you're making any new AMS-supported abilities. This is only actually useful if you're developing AMS-supported abilities.
You'll also want to modify your freak_fortress_2.inc file if you want the debug to output to a separate logfile:
Debug-enabled build of the AMS_InitSubability stock
Requires 'ff2_debug' to be set to 1 to view debug output
ff2_ams.inc:
Include file containing the 2 important stocks for initializing an AMS-supported or AMS-only ability.
Be sure to add #include <ff2_ams> for subplugins that will have AMS support.

Just FYI, I've been a bit inactive lately and I'm not sure when I'm going to be active. Just thought I'd say this:
I typically prefer reflection because it's really the safest thing you can do while also not demanding users to use unusual loading scripts or otherwise screwing around with the way FF2 works. Finding the best way to let plugins communicate with each other is something I've number of hours looking into, testing, experimenting...and even epic failing on a live server once. (all thanks to FF2's arbitrary load order of subplugins)
SHADoW made an include file for AMS using reflection and it has a good track record. Reflection works flawlessly and if done correctly, you can easily determine whether or not you're in a suitable state for asking AMS to do anything. (if plugin's missing, there you go) Aside from allowing AMS to be sourced from a different file than ff2_sarysapub3.ff2, there's not much this feature would do to improve functionality.
When I'm more in the zone, I'll take the request into consideration. I need to be sure any changes I make won't have unintended side effects so it might be some time (read: months) before it becomes canon, but in the meantime you're free to have it as an experimental version. If your own testing phase has no problems I'll fast track it to be a "canon" update of this plugin.
