Dragable Chronometer in ALL screens (Ver. 1.1 available) - Page 2

Hey JonZ,

I noticed in the menu ini (with Chomu's mod) that there is a start chrono entry referenced in the periscope, obscope and uzo. There is also a sec, min, and estsec reference into each of the scopes and uzo in the dials.cfg.

Have you tried creating a new dial specifically for the navmap in the dials.cfg following the entries of the one of the ones that work, then create a reference to that dial's sec, min, and estsec in the menu ini? I will play around a little and see what happens (I currently have the integrated orders 101 mod).

Seems like the menu ini calls on the specific dials for each scope? They don't appear to be the same dial for all the scopes, but when you start one working all of them including the one mounted on the attack scope stalk start working. I will let you know if I can get any of them to start elsewhere besides the scope 2d views.

Yes I did. The TDC map is referenced to 3B. Therefor, I made bitmap group ItemID called 0x3BF00000. The item parent is referenced to the itemID 0x3B000000. Even after replicating the exact lines of the UZO and Periscope (Only changed the referenced numbers) it doesn't work.

I tried to pick a look on Sale's TDC on Periscope and the trick is he modify alot of the Dials.cfg file to pickup the Dragable buttons. Unfortunately, I see he couldn't made a button that toggle the Auto Update TDC for almost the same reason of the Chronometer.

A workaround would be to make a Keyboard command. That would mean to also edit the command_en.cfg file. Still uncertain that it will do it.

Perhaps there is a command line that would allow Dials.cfg to define a toggle button that make the chrono activating.

Holy Crikey! thanks alot!

Ok, Im out of Idea about the disapearing problem.

Here's the recipe:

First Backup Dials.cfg and menu_1024x768.ini.

Dials.cfg, go to the first lines and increment the Dials numbers by 4 like this example:

[DIALS]
DialsNo=xx+4

example:
DialsNo=56; was 52

Then go to the end of the file and Copy paste these 4 definitions and replace the xx by the numbers that follow the before number (if your last dial definition was [Dial48] then replace the xx by 49,50,51,52.

[Dialxx]
Name=Add_ChronoSec
Type=13; DIAL_CHRONO_SEC
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3BF00002
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; seconds
Circular=Yes

[Dialxx]
Name=Add_ChronoMin
Type=14; DIAL_CHRONO_MIN
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3BF00003
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; minutes
Circular=Yes

[Dialxx]
Name=Add_ChronoEstSec
Type=40; DIAL_TORP_ESTIM_SEC
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3BF00004
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; seconds
Circular=Yes

[Dialxx]
Name=Add_ChronoEstMin
Type=41; DIAL_TORP_ESTIM_MIN
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x3BF00005
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,60; minutes
Circular=Yes

Now, open the menu_1024x768.ini file and go to the last [G3B Ixx] parameter. Continue the sequence like you did for Dials.cfg by entering these parameters:

[G3B Ixxx]
Name=Dial
Type=1031;Stat bmp array

[G3B Ixxx]
Name=Estim Min
Type=1031;Stat bmp array
ItemID=0x3BF00005
ParentID=0x3BF00000
Pos=82,-83,8,40

Now you should have the warpin Chrono on TDC. I hope someone will come up with a brillant Idea :p

Is there a way to set a key to start/stop chrono? i.e. ctrl+c or something? this would get around not being able to click it.

03-01-06, 12:33 AM

HOLY CRIKEY!

Found the Disapearing Chronometer problem.

On the Dial parameter I replaced these values:

;MatFlags=0x21; <-------------------------------- Removed

;TexFmt=0x9 <----------------------------------Removed

SelOne=True; <---------------------------------Was False

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I UPDATED THE CODE TO BE SUPPORTED TO ALL SCREENS NOW, SEE POST #1!!!!!!!

but you're not able to click it right?

I've been searching for a way to map it to a key but haven't been able to find any.

Unfortunately the click ability seems to be hardcoded. I've long searched on this site to see if there's any alternatives but there's none and those who tried to make it work failed and gave up.

This is a touchy area. At this point, if someone with experience with Hex can continue the search for the click abilty then it would be great.

For now, it just an alternative for people who like something like the Chronu's Slideout Chronometer mod. And the only near good workaround will be to drag the chrono on the upper right corner, press F3 or O click on the chronometer of that page and press the key of the room you want.

ADukes · 03-01-06, 10:50 AM

Maybe it is only the problem that a dragable chrono can't be clickable. Have you tried a non-dragable?

Way to go Jonz

vodkaphile · 03-01-06, 06:52 PM

I still think there has to be some command to make it bindable to a key, i.e. ctrl C or something.
