Question About Un-mapped commands

[buzzinbill]

I was looking through the commands.cfg and came across this entry
"[Cmd257]
Name=Report_time_to_turn
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F250002" Question : How would one go about enabling this command or assigning it some sort of key combo ... Seems to me this would be a handy command to have if playing at 100% realism , and not always having to keep going to the nav map to look at route end times... I'm not a "modder" or do I know hex coding keyboard strokes ....any idea's or a crooked finger pointing me in the right direction would be helpful ....If not educational

You could add that to all stations pretty easy...if that is what you mean?
This thread pretty much covers that...if that is what you wanted

Button6Command=Report_time_to_course_end
Button6IconRowColumn=2,6
Button6Tooltip=5617

Or if you want to try to add a "Hex" value to that function by yourself to create a hot key (did not try myself) here is a list with all the virtual key codes
http://api.farmanager.com/en/winapi/...lkeycodes.html

What you are looking for is the "Value (HEX)"

For example lets say you would like to have "Y" as the key, the hex value for Y= 59, the code would look like this.

[Cmd257]
Name=Report_time_to_turn
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F250002
Key0=0x59,,"Y"

But like I said, I have not tried this myself.

I think my 1st comment is not valid as that particular command is not even in the list. As for the hot key...should work, but again I never saw that function in game...try it out and tell us if it works.

Actually I am pretty interested in the "Weather Report" command...has this been done yet?

070521: Added weather report to bridge station toolbar and removed Ctrl+W keystroke. Weather reports are now only available when the sub is surfaced. Mod by Beery (Data\Cfg\Commands.cfg; Data\Menu\cfg\OrdersBar.cfg; Data\Menu\Gui\Layout\HUD.dds; Data\Menu\menu.txt).

From Beery's Mod, he did this with Version 1.27 I think.

Thank you much for the info.... thats what i wondering about ..I'd noticed no one had talked about useing this command , I'd imagine there's a "boat load" of stuff thats in this sim , that's not being used...

Thought I'd let ya know I tried binding a key to the "Report_time_to_turn" command... From what I can tell it gave the same responce as the "Time To Course End" .... So who knows.... I'm pretty sure i did it right ... maybe not if anyone else has any luck at enableing dis-abled commands let me know
