Quote:

I have tried that, just to put in the stopwatch. Putted in the lines in the menu_1024_768 file and added that stopwatch.tga, but it never worked for me. Dammit!

It would be a very usefull and nice feature to have a stopwatch visible and possible to stop/start in every views. Slide in or not.

Does someone have a clue how to mod this? Hmmm

I tried it too.
But, I have not solved the how to start and stop on another chronometer.
Then, I plan to perform analysis and trial.

This is the change necessary to the menu_1024_768.ini.

Please note the orignal entry "Name=Throttle" entry is [G3F I76] while the new entry for the stopwatch is [G3F I77]. The stopwatch creates an extra entry to work, and because of that, requires all of the entries following [G3F I76] be renumbered to work correctly (and it's a huge pain in the you-know-what!).

You will also need the graphics from here:

Good luck!

Thank you Observer! :up: :up: :up: :sunny:

Observer,

Are you sure everything you post is correct?

When I load a mission, I get an item ID missing = 0x3F1C0001

So i see you don't have that ID... What's going on?

EDIT: a lot of your ID values were incorrect. I had to edit them to get the stopwatch to work.
Next I will figure out how to get a clickable stopwatch...

In order to get a clickable stopwatch, have you guys compared 'text blocks' with the other 3 stopwatches? Most likely, they hold all of the answers.

And...

What about making comparisons with the dials right next to the stopwatch? If we can figure out how the compass or telegraph are interactive, then maybe we can make the stopwatch interactive too.

Am I alone in here???

Geez! This is hard. Someone help me. :dead:

.... Can't figure out the click ability... I'm burnt out.... I give up. :dead:

Dude... What am I taking about?! I never give up! I will solve the clicky chronometer before I die.

I was thinking. If we can't click on the bottom right chronometer, would it be possible to swap that one with the chronometer from say the observation periscope? Maybe it would work if we switched their ID values or something... It's worth a try.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I am not a programer.

Why not copy the other file across with a few of the obvious alterations, such as locations?

That is basically what is going on. We have copied and pasted a new chronometer, but the problem is that it is an unclickable chronometer. And no one knows why...

I suspect that only the obs persicope, atk periscope, and UZO are hardcoded to allow for clickable chronometers.

Currently looking for a workaround...

Then why not tell it that's it is one of those screens when referring to the stopwatch?

I wish you better luck than I. I fooled with this for a while without much success. It may be a mouse capture thing. In other words, not linked to the stopwatch, rather to the mouse. How does the mouse identiy clickable areas on the screen. I didn't try this, so maybe it's the answer.

It's been hours and it is looking hopeless.

Everytime I swap or change an ID, i get a multitude of missing ID errors. And then, when I think I've fixed it, MORE errors! And so on and so forth.

It is very annoying. I've spent nearly 5 hours today and yesterday, with nearly zilch progress... :-?
