FLB Sale u-99 TDC Mod Question

[ReallyDedPoet]

I am currently using this mod, I got it from antanio ( he modded it to his liking from the original version ) , great mod. I was wondering how to lock the time compression bar at the bottom, in this version it now sits on the bottom in the center ( clock is also on this bar ) and slides out vertically. I also want to modify it to get the background color back on the bottom so I can read the print.

antanio has been great in helping with this, but must be busy as I have not heard from him in a couple of days.

Any other help would be appreciated:up:

I've been asking exactly the same questions like two days ago, no answer, so it seems you'll not get the answer. :) And if you do, I owe you a beer!

antanio has been good to get back to me, he may be away, hopefully he will get back with some answers. If not, I am going to have to figure this one out myself, good learning experience.

Good hunting:up:

I'm not writing this looking at the file with u-99 TDC mod so this can be irrelevant but I guess the below would work for I think that part in quetion belongs to sim-feeling-mod which was released previously TDC mod.

But as I'm writing this without actually trying and testing; just to help since no one seems doing yet, so don't shoot me if it doesn't work - back up the file first.

Hope it works (I suppose it will..)

Edit the menu_1024_768.cfg file manually.
---------------------------------------------------------------
For slideout function.
To make officers icons and textfield not slide out find this section:

[G3F I33]
Name=Slideout Konsole; FLB Sale`s 6 Anzeigen
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F0C0000
ParentID=0x3F000000
Pos=0,141,670,140
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
;VertSlide=-130

and put a semicolon in front of VertSlide=-130 line, like the above.


To make clock bar not slideout find this section:

[G3F I375]
Name=Group feedback; FLB Sale`s 6 Anzeigen, Konsole & Uhrfeld
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F010000
ParentID=0x3F000000
Pos=0,145,733,145
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
;VertSlide=-144

and put a semicolon in front of VertSlide=-144 line, like the above.

This semicolon is means anything after (to the right in derection) semicolon will be disregarded by the program. In other words, putting a semicolon in front of a line effectively kills the entire line.
--------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, now find this section:

[G31 I25]
...
Drag=true
...

And if this is set as "Drag=true" then change this to:

Drag=false

It is obviously unintended that to be draggable. This is a background texture of textarea (if my memory is correct) and which should be not-draggable but it is set draggable by default. It's probably a mistake.

---------------------------------------------------------------
For changing background... that's probably possible but without handy reference of menu_1024_768.cfg, figuring it out is a bit of tough work for me at the moment.. sorry.

jimmie thanks for your time on this:up:

Here is what I have:

[G3F I34]
Name=Group feedback; FLB Sale`s 6 Anzeigen
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F010000
ParentID=0x3F000000
;Pos=290,131,330,130
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
VertSlide=-500 ;original=-141

Just put the ; in front of the VertSlide.

Your thoughts?

Yes, try that. You might or might not need to fiddle with

;Pos=290,131,330,130

which is also entirely disregared but let's hope it works without changing this line.
This "Pos" line is meant to define the original position of an item (but in your case the line is commented out and it probably means it then take a default value which we don't know of).

jimmie, the stuff I sent you was wrong, I realized this when I tried it at home, it brought back the old dials. Anyway, I did find the right part, made the changes, and it worked. Thanks again.

Just have to figure out the background ( want to darken it ) for the bottom console. Have a look at the pic.

[geralt]

as for the missing background I guess the the slideout mod comes with its own transparent 'bkgr.tga' file... so you need the original bkgr.tga which is grey
the file is located in data\menu\gui\layout folder

or you want the background only in the offire's icons area not under the console?
