Help: 6 Dials Sim feeling Mod
 

Hi.

I am trying to integrate this into my NYGM v2.6B install.

I have followed the ReadMe very closely, but I get this problem on Mission load:

Cannot find Menu ID 0x3F1C0007

Now this is the Gyrocompass. Section has been added to ..\Menu\cfg\Dials.cfg etc etc. Checked three times now.

Any thoughts?

I am also getting a transparent rectangle just above the messages section at the bottom of the screen. Appears in all views including external. When you slide down the bottom console this rectangle stays there rather than disappears like the others.

I just re-installed it on top of my GWX yesterday, and had no problems.

Did you number it correctly? Mine is [Dial153]

Mine is [Dial68]

[Dial68]
Name=CompassFdbk; FLB Sale`s Slideout Anzeigen
Type=12; DIAL_GYROCOMPASS
Cmd=Set_course,Crew
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3F1C0007
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=-180,180
RealVal=-180,180; degrees
Circular=Yes
Dynamic=Yes


67 was the last one I had. And yes, I incremented the DialsNo= at the top.

[DIALS]
DialsNo=69

Oops. I'm sorry, I misread the 'l' for another '1'. Mine is [Dial58], and it reads exactly like yours.

The stock file only goes to 43. Compared with my original setup, the extra files seem to be for the slide-out Chief's report guages.

[edit] I just installed the periscope TDC slideouts, and now my compassfdbk file is #68 also. I'll be starting it up and hoping for the best now. Next is U-jagd.

Looks like the problems in menu_1024_768

Yes it is. After I put in the periscope slideouts mod I started getting crashes as well. I found my problem was in the numbering of the many files in the menu.ini. It took four tries and about as many hours to finally get the game to load, and now I'm trying to track down why I have two large slideout compasses instead of one, and why I have the TDC tools slide out but none of them work.

Matttm, all I can suggest is keep going over it until it works; or else dump the whole thing and re-install. I may be doing that soon, but then I'm busy testing things and don't have a career going right now, so it won't cost me anything but time.

Best of luck.:sunny:

I have decided to start again and re-add all to menu_1024_728.ini. I probably screwed something up and have not noticed it since this is a huge file and I am not 100% on how the entries all interact.

Does anyone now what the entry is for the dark rectangles on top of the messages section? This one is not sliding but the one above the officers section to the left is.

Ok, got rid of there Menu ID error. Was a sequencing issue.

Still have the black rectangle as highlighted in the image in this thread from JonZ.

What ID is this mother???

Fixed!!! Thanks to Reece for input on where to possibly look. I changed this group:

[G3F I138]
Name=Group msg top bar
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F120000
ParentID=0x3F0C0000;Original ParentID=0x3F00000
Pos=284,-10,404,22;Original Pos=284,130,404,22
Color=0xFFFFFFFF

Basically, the Parent ID needs to be changed along with the Pos. I referred to G3F I148 which is directly (in the GUI) underneath.

Now the length of these items could be extended as the message go all the way to right hand side almost.

hmm, is there a possibility the "my favorite dails" mod will work on GWX 2.0 ? :hmm:

its the periscope TDC and the 6 dails thing

Yes, it works perfectly well, and with U-jagd tools also. I did need a little help with it, but it works fine.

I'll try to remember to take some screenshots later.

YATTA! :rock:

trying it now

edit: another question, what do i have to change to make it work with the "Integrated Orders" mod ?
