:rotfl: Filefront can be a bear to work with sometimes. I'll snag it (if Filefront isn't malfunctioning

) and get back to ya in a few.

Digital_Trucker · 12-08-07, 06:18 PM

Edit: These files had problems. The corrected files are available at this post http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...7&postcount=30

AVGWarhawk, you can pick up your modified files at http://files.filefront.com/AVGWarhaw.../fileinfo.html

I'm assuming this is for a mod, so just deactivate the mod, place the HUD1.dds file in the same folder as the HUD.dds (...Data\Menu\Gui\Layout in the mod), place the OrdersBar.cfg file in the folder it came from in the mod (....\Data\Menu\cfg) and reactivate the mod and you should have the icons that were missing from those two buttons. You'll also be able to activate any HUD mod that doesn't change the OrdersBar.cfg file without losing your icons.

I used my "overpopulated" HUD.dds for your HUD1.dds, so that if you wanted to use any of the icons on it, you could just set up your button in the OrdersBar.cfg file and point to any of the icons on the HUD1.dds.

Let me know if you have any problems with it.

DT, you da man!!!! Worked like a charm

I can not thank you enough! My orders bar is beautful and so full of buttons with pictures on them. Again, thanks for working with it and walking me through it. Beautiful, just beautiful.

Ok dang it now this is going to have to be made into a mod for OakGrooves wonderful HUD. I have never got the weather report installed correctly so I don't even have a blank button to fix. This would be a very helpful mod to dummies like myself.

AVGWarhawk · 12-08-07, 07:11 PM

It works man! I use RFB that added the extra buttons. This fix by DT added the nice pictures on the buttons. The orders bar fix went into the RFB folder for it and the HUD.dds went into Oakgrooves part of it. Worked fantastic

AVGWarhawk · 12-08-07, 07:16 PM

A thing of beauty. There are some mods I can not live without. Oakgrooves orders bar is one of them. Now with DT's fix. It just got 100% better

AVGWarhawk · 12-08-07, 07:21 PM

DT, I just added this thread to the 1.4 compatible mod list under Oakgrooves link for his textured orders bar mod. I'm sure there will be others who would like to have the completed orders bar look.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who likes plenty of pretty buttons to click on

. Glad I could be of assistance to you and any others that use RFB.

But there seem to be some strange icons on some of the buttons, see the circled items here:

The last one, for example, is supposed to be "Silent Running"

AVGWarhawk · 12-09-07, 09:21 AM

You are correct Bill. I notice last night and was going to ask DT to see if he can assign the correct pic to the correct button. Might have opened a can of worms. DT what is you take on correct picture/button assignment?

Digital_Trucker · 12-09-07, 11:18 AM

Well, what I did when I changed the Icon array was to compare the HUD file you sent me with the one I had already added icons to in order to verify that the icons were the same (except for the ones I had added). Unless I've gone blind (distinct possibility:p ) they were the same except that I had a pull down map icon in place of the gramophone icon. I put the gramophone icon back in it's proper place and made the changes to the OrdersBar.cfg file.

This brings me to ask a couple of questions:

1) Was the HUD.dds file that you sent me from RFB?

2) Did the buttons on Bill Nichols picture have any icons before the change?

I'm going to go back and review the stuff you sent me, AVG, and make sure I've not gone cuckoo yet. Will get back to you if I find out anything right away.

Edit : I'm going to review each and every icon assignment in the OrdersBar.cfg file you sent me and make sure that it points to the appropriate icon. I've never used RFB and don't know whether it used any custom icons or not, but the stock HUD.dds does not have icons for things like Silent Running (it uses the periscope depth icon for it). I had "ass-u-me-d" that, since the HUD.dds that I compared to mine was the same except for the added icons, there would be no problems with other icons. Apparently, this wasn't the case or the HUD.dds I compared to mine wasn't the one used by RFB. Anyhoo, I'll try to get it sorted out ASAP and get a corrected version uploaded.

AVGWarhawk · 12-09-07, 12:18 PM

THANK YOU for taking the time DT. Seems like me and Bill are starved for this interface. I mean it DT, thanks, you could have said it is what it is. I appreciate you looking it over again

Digital_Trucker · 12-09-07, 12:46 PM

Not a problem, AVG, the "Dirty Birds" don't play 'till tomorrow night, so I don't know what to do with myself on a Sunday afternoon anyway:rotfl: .

I figured out the problem, just have to solve it now. I downloaded RFB and pulled the HUD from it to make sure I was working with the right graphic. It's different from the one you sent me, so I'm assuming that is root cause of the problem.

Soooooooo, what I'll do is to just add the necessary icons to the RFB HUD and everything will be good to go (as long as you want to stick with the same icons as you've always had, which is what I'm guessing you'd want to do).

Digital_Trucker · 12-09-07, 01:49 PM

Okeydoke, this should do the trick. It's in JSGME format and has instructions for installation order. The previous file has been deleted from Filefront to avoid confusion.
