Bzshell question

Cyber · Post by **Cyber** » Thu Jun 07, 2012 9:54 pm

Hey guys,

lets see how actually knows the most about bz2 ^-^

Problem described by pictures.

How it looks right now.

How it should look.

What the problem is:

I can't just copy&paste the "vehicle-selection"(with changing position), so how would this be possible?

Yes, you copy/paste that into the bzshell_multi_option.cfg, in place of mapdesc.

There are two different "map des" description boxes. One if the large one in multi host, the other is the smaller one that appears when u select "choose vehicle"

the name of the listbox "VehicleList" is found and populated by the bzone.exe

You may need to negate out the old box, i believe the exe will only use the first one it finds

bzshell_multi_host.cfg ?

You are sure this file-name is correct?

Upload the files you have (used) now and I'll have a looksee.
Cant recall how it all tangles together but its generally rather easy to play with the shell. I think all you need to do here is remove the button for the list and display the list at the location you want it to ..
But I dont have pak-explorer installed atm and I probably need more time to install that than to make the changes for you, so just upload the files

Sorry, it's bzshell_multi_option.cfg, client version is bzshell_multi_clientoption.cfg

GBD, could it be that bzone.exe doens't load this: "// Contents filled in from code now (MPVehicle.cpp thru NetCommands)" ?

If yes, how to load this code? (MPVehicle.cpp thru NetCommands)

Anything that starts with // is just a comment and is not processed by BZ2 at all. BZ2 simply makes an assumption that when a GUI element appears in that specific area (CFG file) with that specific name it will be filled by that data by the engine.

Since you normally have to toggle something to make that visible, perhaps you need to force the toggle to occur.

Why are you removing the map description anyway? Those are supposed to be meaningful and only stop being useful when the map becomes familiar.

What I would suggest is you look at forcing it to toggle automatically so it starts with the unit selection area active instead of the map description.

Hmmm..lemme go look at how I did it..

Ahh, I see. It's not 100% THAT simple...

In bzshell_multi_option, I did this:

OnEvent("Control::Activate")
{
cmd("shell.background multip_team.tga");
Activate("|ShellMultiVehicle"); // << This toggles the activation of that Vehicle window. You'll need to run Deactivate("|ShellMultiVehicle"); in the Control::Deactivate bit too.

Once you add that, the vehicle window will be drawn too. Then you just have to move it where you want it.

It probably has to be nested under "ShellMultiVehicle", "Vehicle", "VehicleList". i.e:

CreateControl("ShellMultiVehicle", "WINDOW")
{
Style("TRANSPARENT", "INERT");
Geom("PARENTWIDTH", "PARENTHEIGHT");

CreateControl("Vehicle", "WINDOW")
{
ColorGroup("WHITE");
Geometry("RIGHT", "TOP");
Position(-36, 60);
Size(269, 145);
Style("TRANSPARENT","INERT");

//
// create vehicle selection list
//
CreateControl("VehicleList", "LISTBOX")
{
ColorGroup("LISTBOX");

Geometry("LEFT", "TOP");
Position(0, 130);
Size(117, 10);
CellSize(117, 10);
Font("SMALL");
Cursor("Highlight");
UseVar("network.clientvehiclename");
//Style("VSLIDER");
// Contents filled in from code now (MPVehicle.cpp thru NetCommands)
UseSlider("<VehicleSlider");
}
}
}

From my experience in Shell code, Some things the game looks for under very specific higherarchies.

First, the map description will be moved only. Also, I know all map descriptions by heart

Argh, I really thought that could work. I understand what you did there, I don't understand what is not working, bz2 is bringing a totally strange error log.

What could be the problem?

General BlackDragon · Post by **General BlackDragon** » Sat Jun 09, 2012 8:02 pm

:-/ i didn't mean to make a separate section like that, ...and well it was only theoretical anyway..

Soo, try my first idea, activate the shellvehicleoption screen, and modify bzshell_multi_vehicle.cfg to move / resize the box how you like.

Also, in ur above example, try adding the Vehicle window...

I just should have copied and paste, cuz this works fine.

Thanks GBD, you'r really my personal hero!

Whoops, it really seemed working

.

As soon I click "Map Options" or "Extra options" and go back to "server options" (closeextras), bz2 crashes.

Don't really think this log is helpful tho.
I guess the problem is.. uhm... "closeextras" executes an order like Activate("|ShellMultiVehicle") which causes the crash?
Or what could be the problem?

General BlackDragon · Post by **General BlackDragon** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 4:50 pm

Maybe...

Hmm, Lemme poke around...

No, It's not in the EO Pages...

Is *all* you did was put Activate and Deactivate in shell_options.cfg?
