Interior Fuel dial/gauge changeable?

[TorpedoMo]

Want to change the 1234-Markings on the fuel dial to make ist useable.

Someone knows how to mod this? Couldn't find anything yet...

Not really an expert, but here's a few pointers:

Take a look in the sim/dat files in the Interior folder for that sub.
The dials are defined inside the sim.
And the visual stuff is defined in the dat I think.

[TorpedoMo]

Already did that. But all I could find were the normal dials and gauges u can use ingame.
The rest of the textures couldn't be found.
Also possible I've overseen it within the number of textures...

Ok, I never looked at the fuel gauge from interior, so you're saying it doesn't work right?
Here's what I found:

I would've guessed somebody already fixed it , if broken.. The guage parameters realval and dispval effect how it works, so perhaps play with those?

[TorpedoMo]

Ok great, thanks!

That's a step further.

The dial already works, but there is no uselful measurement at the moment. It want to remove the 1234 measures and replace it with a 0-100% scale.

But I need the texture file for that i guess.

[TorpedoMo]

who knows how you can change the texture to build a new measurement on the gauge?

Moin,

it´s not as easy as you would like it.
Check the properties node (4/100) to see what textures are assigned and you will come accross 5 textures. Each of them will be placed using different face id´s. The 4th in row is "cadrane2.tga". This one has a small badge showing "12345". I guess that´s the texture you´ll have to look for. BUT, as this area is remarkably small, it only covers the badges you see ingame. The rest of the indicator´s object uses a different texture. Thus you need to change the uv mapping coordinates. In plain language: You will have to assign the texture you want to use with a 3d graphics programme. Therefore you need to extract the 3d object and re-import it when all changes are done. But you will have to do it by hex as Pack3D does not export/import more than one set of uv mapping coords, needed for the light-/shadowmaps (TMAP section).
