[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

TeleportToObsScope = Shift+F1
TeleportToAttackScope = Shift+F2
TeleportToUZO = Shift+F3
TeleportToRadar = Shift+F4
TeleportToHydrophone = Shift+F5
TeleportToDeckGun = Shift+F6
TeleportToFlakGun = Shift+F7

My thought process of placing the teleport icons in the order bars for the officer's was this: Using WEPS as an example here, if you were going to do a torpedo attack you would click WEPS-->Torpedo attack. WEPS shows you everything you can do for a torpedo attack. Two of those options would be man the obs scope or man the attack scope. Make sense? Actually if you were surfaced you could man the UZO also so I should add that to WEPS's order bar also. By placing them in the order bars it forces you to sort of have a 'conversation' with the officer.

I did not support the pressing of shift+key or alt+key for the teleport hotkeys. I'll change the implementation of the teleport hotkeys so that multiple keys can be used for a teleport hotkey.

Problem solved.....

In a single mission i didn`t see that button. Just took my campaign and
voila....

Thanks for the time.

Am using sh3 gui and i have altered the details in the .py file.

Which keys / knobs do i have to press to see the tdc?

Who can help me out? Here is the file,

# User Options for DarkWraith's mods



# NOTE!!!!
# These are the keys the game recognizes:
# A-Z of the alphabet (Capitalized!)
# Tab, Enter, Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Escape, PageUp, PageDown, End, Home, Left, Up, Right, Down, Insert, Delete, numbers 0-9 (which are Keyx - i.e. 4 would be Key4), F1-F11 functions keys.

#+++++++++++++ UI Style ++++++++++++++
# Possible UI Styles:

###################################### Teleporting ##############################################
# the hotkeys assigned to the teleport commands

# if you do not want a hotkey for a teleport command then use None
# i.e. TeleportToObsScope = None
#
# if you want to assign a hotkey for a teleport command then change the x to whatever key you want
# i.e. TeleportToObsScope = MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.x where x = the key desired (in capital letters!)
#
#if you want to use a number then you would use:
# TeleportToObsScope = MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.Keyx where x = the number desired
#
TeleportToObsScope = MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.O
TeleportToAttackScope = MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.F
TeleportToUZO = MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.U
TeleportToRadar = None
TeleportToHydrophone = MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.H
TeleportToDeckGun = None
TeleportToFlakGun = None

First off make the changes listed above in yellow.
When you say the teleporting doesn't work, what happens when you press the 'O', 'U', or 'H' keys?
Did you enable one of the TDC add-on mods? You have to enable either the All dials, minimal dials, spread angle only, or no dials TDC add-on mod for the mod to work correctly. If you have enabled one of those add-on mods then according to the way your options file is setup the dials will be visible right from the start.

You are looking for a savegame called 'Patrol5: Approaching Recon'
This puts you near the Trondheim base ready to take photo's.
Let me know if there are problems.

thank you sir This will help me further test out the take photo and some other items.

in v1.7.0 here is the new way you will setup ANY hotkey used by the mod:
using the teleport hotkeys as an example:

# the hotkeys assigned to the teleport commands
#
# Format:
#
# TeleportToObsScope = [ False, None, False ]
# False = enabled
# None = key used
# False = shift key required
#
# so if you wanted the teleport to obs scope hot key to be shift + F1:
# TeleportToObsScope = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.F1, True ]
#
# if you didn't want to assign a hotkey for teleport to obs scope:
# TeleportToObsScope = [ False, None, False ]
#
TeleportToObsScope = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.Key4, False ]
TeleportToAttackScope = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.Key5, False ]
TeleportToUZO = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.Key6, False ]
TeleportToRadar = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.Key7, False ]
TeleportToHydrophone = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.Key8, False ]
TeleportToDeckGun = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.Key9, False ]
TeleportToFlakGun = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.Key0, False ]



This will make it easier for you, easier for me, and give you more control of how you want the hotkey to be fired (just the key or requires shift+key)

Logged in quickly today, using a single mission, VIIC and the first thing I did before moving or anything was teleport to the Obs scope. My camera disconnected and floated above the bridge. If I clicked the Teleport to Obs scope again it locked me back into place on the bridge.

Same happened with the Attack Scope button.

However, once I climbed down and manually got on the Attack Scope the buttons started to work normally, for both scopes.

I noticed that behavior before. But before I put error checking code in you would get a NASTY python error that would CTD the game. Something isn't setup with the game (as far as using the teleport) until you 'do' something first. So always do something/some action before requesting a teleport at game start.

Should I enable 3 levels of keys? 3 levels being:

- just key press
- shift + key press
- shift + alt + key press

currently I have 2 levels (key press, shift + key press) for user hotkeys in v1.7.0

Some of the F-keys don't work for me. I tried F3, F10 and F11 and they didnt work.

I'm testing the F1-F11 keys right now.

EDIT:

the game does not let you capture the F1-F11 keys (even though script manager says you can).....that is stange....it takes complete control of those keys. Very odd.

I need to modify my commands.cfg file to remove any references to F1-F11 and see what happens.

EDIT2:

modified commands.cfg file to no avail. Game will not let you capture the F1-F11 keys. This totally goes against what script manager MenuKeyManagerWrapper says. So keys F1-F11 are off limits to us

Sorry for the delayed response. I just returned from a breakfast meeting.

Having 3 Levels of key mappings adds a great deal of flexibility and that is always a good thing. The determining factor as always is, "How easy is it to implement"?

How would one implement this?

very easy to implement

Normal sweep icon fixed.
Added teleport to UZO to WEPS-->Torpedo Attack and WO-->Choose deckgun target

As you can read in my post i have sh3style enabled. I don`t have that
button ..

I just did a test with a stock client and 1.6. With SH3 mode turned on and Minimal Dials TDC mod loaded I had the button. If i took off the Minimal Dials TDC mod I had no button, but no TDC dials either.

So no chance to get F1-F11 to work?
