Modding the behavior of the interior gauges

LukeFF · 02-06-08, 03:41 AM

Alright, so one thing I wanted to do was to actually make the compressed air gauges act like they're supposed to. So, I modified the row of compressed air gauges in the S Class boats and told the file they should show the compressed air level. Trouble is, they don't change at all now, no matter how much compressed air I pump out! Here is how I changed it in Silent 3ditor. Anything here that stands out like it did wrong?

This is the row of gauges, for a point of reference. All nice and showing the right level with the compressed air tanks full, but that's all they do right now!

could be the realval min/max level too narrow..
btw do you know how the trim tank gauges should work?
i edited them some time ago so that they only
fill at diving operations.. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=127568

I tried values of 0 and 100 for realval, but that didn't work.

As for the trim tanks, I've left them with their stock behavior (for now, at least). I have the ballast tank gauges fill up as the boat descends and empty out as the boat rises to the surface.

hmm, the compressed air level reduces very slowly,
the boats should use much more compressed air
at diving operations..
