Thanks, Jimi, for the quick update (and the 15 button fix)

And, of course, for the wonderful tool.

jimi, can you check your download link for your newest release, and if possible, add it to a zip file? Every time I try to download it, my antivirus program pops up, and even when I do disable it, it won't let me open the file after I download it.

This is what pops up. Telling it to run the application does nothing:

@Luke

Done. Look first post.

LukeFF · 03-02-08, 04:30 AM

Thank you!

Hi there,

I'm having problems saving the completed menus

I have U-boat missions installed, making the SH4 to 1.5.

When I go into the application and save without making any changes I get the following error. It gets more complicated when I add buttons.

The only thing I can say is I tried deleting the buttons off the camera tab and the error message stayed the same except "Button 6" became "Button 5" on the error message and so on...

Can you shed any light please?

jimimadrid · 03-02-08, 09:02 AM

Hi Bratwurstdimsum,

please go into Mods\MyMenu\Data\Menu\cfg and delete the ordersbar.cfg.
The Menumaker has default data installed. It will only load the ordersbar.cfg if there is one available in MyMenu-Folder.
Deleting this one, you forced him to take the default config.

Please take care that Menumaker is on your SH4 Mainfolder.

I just downloaded the Menumaker and installed into SH4 the Mods\MyMenu\Data\Menu\cfg path is not there. Even when I create it, the button 6 error still displays.

jimimadrid · 03-02-08, 11:31 AM

OK, i found the problem.
Please add to the Mods\MyMenu\Data\Menu an empty Folder called "cfg".

It seems that the setup Maker did not bind in empty folders. I will try to get this corrected.

Sorry.

Done.

bratwurstdimsum · 03-02-08, 02:34 PM

Thanks master!

That worked perfectly. I wonder why people hadn't found this problem earlier?

Kirby_TFS · 03-02-08, 08:09 PM

Jimi,
I loaded the test file and it did fix the graphic problem. It only works with the origianal MyMenu file also loaded, it won't work alone. There is one problem still, in that I can't go back and change any of the icons, as they stay the same as the ones before a change. In other words what ever I had before the test file was added is all that I can get to come up. I experimented with deleting a couple keys to see if the total problem was fixed, but I can't get any additional changes. I also uninstalled the whole program are reloaded version 1.5 and still get the same thing. Hope this helps in solving the messed up graphics problem. Thanks Kirby

jimimadrid,

Can i ask for a (hopefully small) request?

Would it be possible to, when I have a list of icons up for the tab, have some functionality that allows me to reorder the icons? I am trying to group some together but as always after I finish, there is always one that I missed and would love to be able to drag it back in the order to have the buttons close. not a killer

if you can't it'd just be nice if you can.

I love your work

Sorry, but with my poor english i did not understand what you mean.

With the left mousebutton you have the possibility to copy, paste, delete and insert buttons. Deleting and inserting let you move buttons from one place to another place, also to different tabs. The deleted or copied button will be shown in the clipboard window, so that you everytime knows which button is in action.

Rearranging the buttons has been a top target of this program.

I hope this answer helps you.

regards
jimimadrid

Sorry you are right you can move them around! Thank you and sorry to ask silly quesions

Scottb8411 · 03-03-08, 12:58 PM

Jimi,

The MenuMaker is a wonderfull program! Thanks for sharing this with the Subsim community.

I have spent hours trying to create my "perfect" menu. This makes a tedious process more enjoyable!

When adding new functions to the menu, I like to add keyboard shortcuts to commands.cfg as well.

In a future release, could you implement a method of assinging a hotkey to each button?

Thanks again,

jimimadrid · 03-03-08, 04:48 PM

Hi Scott,

changing settings in the commands.cfg need a separate programm, otherwise it would be very problematic put only shortcuts for the Hud butons. All the other keys would not be adjustable.
Better to make a extra Proggie only for the commands. (SH4Keymaker is in the pipeline and will be the next project - The target will be easyhandling like the Menumaker)

The Menumaker covers the individual settings in the Ordersbar.cfg.
In the moment i'm working making the buttonsgraphics changeable for the user.

This will be the choices:

I hope this will cover the flavor of all of you.
