[REL] JTxE - Textenabler to merge lines in ini-Files

[Metl]

I couldn't get the included mini chrono mod to work right... It just displayed a greyish flashing box, no more watch. Any idea what might have went wrong? I'm going to try again without any mods enabled and see if it works then. Great tool idea, hopefully I'll get it working right.

I just cut his code down to the relevant zone lines and put it in an ini mod file and it appears to work fine, red target time hand and everything. Here is the text for the mini chrono.ini file for anyone who wants a 75% clock mod;

*snip!*

I hope modders make use of this great tool, theoretically we could combine bits from different interface/hud/map mods if everyone plays along

Uh...those appear to be the original values I added them in manually, my watch appeared the same size as before (well, I got CTDs at first, but that was cause I pulled a stupid during the pasting!), so I compared my edited file against the one I was using before...values were exactly the same. I also checked out the values in the link you provided, and they're the "shrunk" ones.

Since the 1.3 patch what has to be changed to down size the watch has also changed.

The values in Captain Cox's post work. I copy/pasted those values to my .ini file and my clock works like a charm. Using v1.3.

Here, corrected "70% shrinkage" values. Try it out.

Thanks, careless of me to post the wrong code!

I think what happened is I had the mod installed and the .bak and .used files in the ini_Mods directory are ambiguously labelled; on examination the .bak file is what is being used in the current menu_1024_768.ini file and and the .used file is the original code.

In repentance for not double checking before I posted the chrono code :hmm: here is the ini mod code for a smaller Nav Tools from CaptainCox's original code from this mod but all are scaled to 70% (iirc one or two were at 50% and others at 70% I just made them all 70% - all credit to CaptainCox for code);

70% smaller nav tools

Cheers, I was thinking of trying that mod out the other day.

Oh, the transferlimit of my page has been reached this month. So Arcor has closed my account for this month.
I have open an additional link on my first post.

Sorry for the trouble.

[Killjoy12]

Thanks for updating the link.

[scrapser]

Question...could this tool be used to add CaptainCox's small navigation tools? It would seem to me your tool is good for replacing existing lines but what about adding new sections of code to the INI file? Seems like that would still have to be a manual process.

Thanks

[jimimadrid]

No for this version. The 2.0 will be able to do it. At the moment you should do it manually. Sorry

[scrapser]

Okay...no worries. How's the 2.0 progress coming along?

Download Link is dead. Anybody have this?

This link does not work now. Download links did not work from 1st post either.
I PM'd jimimadrid asking for permission for me to upload JTxE and misc ini mods to subsim download utilities section. I have not researched yet if misc ini mods are still available somewhere.
