REL: Extended FreeCam 1.0

[Hunter]

Actually, triyed and removed the mod from my SH+GWX instalation. The idea itself is good but loss of some long used functional doesn't worth walking through the walls. I think it shall be improved by restoring use of battons and limiting area to walk to.

Just to explains the problem more precisely I made a screenshot:

The the button with the red circle around it is the one that switches itself back to auto position.

[Stormfly]

yes,

we are talking about the same knob (using ACM mod, this button is lightned blue if in TDC following mode)...

Please tell me exactly in which situations is it switching back by itself, is it totaly random or after firing a torp etc.... ?

[Schroeder]

I'm afraid it's random, or at least I couldn't find any pattern behind it yet. If no one else has this problem then the cause will likely be somewhere on my end so maybe you shouldn't put too much effort in finding this before others confirm to have the same issue.

But apart from that it's nice to finally be able to walk around on the sub.

Stormfly, I've just checked your commands_XXX.cfg files for both versions (ACM and GWX). And they both contain the Autoupdate command linked to the 0x3F010017 item from the menu.ini file. That item was remade by OLC to be the new Autoupdate button, on the main layout page. It was also used by Mikhayl in ACM for the same purpose. But in the original GWX (vanilla) interface, that item does something different, not sure what cause I don't have the game installed on this laptop. But whatever it is, whenever Schroeder clicks on that item, the command is given for the autoupdate to switch on/off. Remove all your addons and go to the clean menu_1024_768.ini file and see what item it is.

Schroeder, go to your commands_en.cfg or commands_de.cfg file and find this part:

[Cmd131]
Name=Toggle_TDC_autoupdate
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F010017
Key0=0x54,c,"CTRL T"

comment out the MnID line with a semicolon like this:
;MnID=0x3F010017

and you shouldn't have any problem

[Stormfly]

nice found, thanks for that, i will review it and update !

Thanks a lot, I will give it a try. Did you mean I have to uninstall all mods before doing this?
