FABC Slider integration in HT 147 help (Rubini,TimeTraveler)

Ok, I have this problem with trying to incorporate the FABC Slider in IuB and HT147 mod (slider released originaly released by TimeTraveler or Vierkant II I think...)

I Use the menu_1024_768.ini file that was located in the Chomu's_HT147_RUB folder provided with the HT147 pack, the chrono only on NAVI version. The problem is even if I try to insert the G3F ixxx code in the menu_1024x768.ini, the slider wont work/appear at all. ([G3f i330]-[G3f i335]).

The sliding chronometer will appear and nudge if my cursor go near it, but not the FABC slider. It refuse to show to any screens.

I also tried to insert more dials in the dials.cfg, but I get popup error message like Can't find menu ID 0x3f420001 ... 2... 3... 4



I'm out of ideas to make it work

Rubini, Timetraveler, Teddy... you are all welcome to answer

thanks

I loved the FABC slideout mod but after numerous mods and changes
I too had problems with it. The slideout feature worked fine but the guages were all inoperative-totally inert. Finally gave up.

hmm after searching for an hour I couldn't find posts with similar scenarios.

Maybe it impossible to have more than ONE additionnal slideout?

Guys,

My only suggestions would be to make sure the [G3F I330]-[G3F I335] items for FABC are unique and in sequence with other menu_1024x768.ini mods. If you have to, put them down at the end of G3F and renumber them. Don't leave any number gaps in G3F and make sure the FABC G3F numbers don't change order place if you renumber them.

Remember too, that Dials.cfg has 4 new dials for FABC, and reference the item numbers of the FABC items in menu_1024x768.ini.

Last, make sure that the item ID numbers (like ItemID=0x3F420000, etc.) used in the FABC G3F section are not accidentally also used by other mods. These item ID numbers are also cross referenced in the Dials.cfg file. Dials.cfg has 4 new dials for FABC, and reference the item numbers of the FABC items in menu_1024x768.ini.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply TT

I will make those verifications you are requesting me to do when I'll get home (at work ftm).

I can certify however that the G3F i330- i335 are unique and made searches (Ctrl-f) to make sure it wasn't elsewhere. I've made that sequence to the last i329. I moved the [G3F I330]-[G3F I335] items inbetween i286-i287 to make sure if the issue was related to the orders those calls are made.

I am also sure that the ID used in the menu_1024.ini, 0x3F420000 (to ...20005), is not used anywhere else in the file and in the dials.cfg file (except for the new dials definitions).

Sounds good Jonz. Yes, if you've moved [G3F I330]-[G3F I335] items inbetween i286-i287 make sure they are renumbered start at 287, and also ALL G3Fs below that point if there are any.

Good luck.

TT

So you think the order of sequence have an impact?

Let me be clear first.


When I tried to implement your FBAC code in the menu_1024_768.ini, I copy pasted your codes after the end of the G3F sequence (sequence ended with [G3F i329] in the HT147 chrono only on NAVI file version).

Ran SH3 but the slider never showed (and got not found ID popup error even if the item ID was identical to the new dials in the dials.cfg file. I've compared the files).

After several comparisons of many files using the slider, I only moved up the new G3F sequence after i287 to give it a try (after the mouse definition), but still not working.

If the order of the code has an impact even if the G3F tags are uniques, then the only thing I didn't do was to renumber the G3F tags AFTER the insertion of your code.

I hope it that what you mean, if you do, I'm perhaps on something

Thanks!

HOLY CRIKEY!

IT WORKED!!!

oh god thanks alot TT! ya rawk!



I'm still wondering despite of my unique numbers why placed after i329 it wouldn't work but placed at i287 it would

[timetraveller]

Great! Yes, the sequence is everything, with no gaps. Great job Jonz.
