Main menu hangar

Got my rift 2 days ago and love the new main menu hangar!

But can we change the plane inside the hangar? Would great to stand next to my BF-109 or the L-39?

Maybe a changeable model similar to the changeable menu background would be a nice gimmick ;)

But overall thumbs up for the great VR support!

It's customisable via LUA. Don't wish ... make it happen.

It's customisable via LUA. Don't wish ... make it happen.

Could you tell us how to do it?

The file you need is here

D:\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\DemoScenes\sceneVR.lua

This line is important but you may as well play with them all

scene.m = sceneAPI:addModel("su-27", 0, 2.4, 0);

The model names you need to use come from the EDM files which are here.

D:\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\World\Shapes

These commands are for setting the animation args - for gear down and other stuff.

scene.m:setArgument(0, 1);

And then you might need to tweak the heights and orientation to make it sit right. Or maybe it will look great straight away.

We may as well make this the thread for well tweaked sceneVR.lua setups.

If you make a good sceneVR.lua post it to the end of this thread.

Update: I'm working on something special but it gonna take some time.

This is why I love this community ;)

Thanks!

So now - post your sceneVR.lua files :)

Here's one that will put you by a mirage!

scene.flr:drawToEnvironment(true);
scene.flr.transform:scale(2,1.5,1.5);

local function pingpong(length, t)
local tt = (t%length)*2/length
if tt>1 then tt = 2-tt end
return tt
end


function sceneVRUpdate(t, dt)

end

It's also attached as a convenient JSGME package.

:thumbup:

I want them all!!!

How do you extract the data from the edm files?

I also could not find the Gazelle edm.

Perhaps a short tutorial?

If I know how, I'll make some more!

Thanks

Hawk, the Gazelle like MOST new playable ED and third-party aircraft will not be in the main shape library ... their place is in d:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft or d:\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft.

For the most basic use you just need the name. If you don't feel like hunting down the other techniques and tools you need to do more tricky things, Just stick with that until someone makes a tutorial :)

I've been spending a bit of time on this (more than I planned) exploring all the options but before I make a tutorial I want to make some very good examples that show what is possible. Stay tuned.

The Gazelle

Gazelle vr garage, WIP

I have consolidated all of my VR menu files into one down load.

This will save me space in the forums and make all the screens available in one place.

A read me is included for screens where needed.

See last post.

Have fun!

hm... I'll have to try the MiG-21 one :)

Wow you guys are great!

Nice one, Hawkeye.

I'm still working on a scene preview function so you can reload the VR scene from inside DCS without restarting but it is taking a while because -- I have to work out how to do it :)

Still I have a scene to post for the new Mig-29 model.

   scene.farp:setArgument(39,1) --horiz
   scene.farp:setArgument(99,0.1) --vert
   --Will watch you as you move around :D
   --Still testing the script
   ]]

   -- Adds Camera with Root position on Ground.
scene.cam = sceneAPI:addCamera(0, 0, 0);
   scene.cam.transform:scale(1, 1, 1);
   scene.cam.transform:move(0,0,-2);
   scene.cam:setFarClip(20);
   scene.cam:setActive();
   
   -- Special feature utility *coming soon*
   --scene.dummy = sceneAPI:addDummy(0,0,0);
   --scene.dummy:attachTo(scene.farp, "pilot_vis");
   --scene.cam.transform:lookAtObject(scene.dummy);   
   
end

function mainThemeSceneUpdate(t, dt)
   -- multiple camera positions with button to change position coming soon.
   -- scene.cam2:setActive()
   -- scene.cam:setActive()
end

This scene is specifically for ROOMSCALE which will might only work well for Vive (unless are a RIFT user with an unusual setup).

To see the scene as intended put your HMD on the ground and press the numpad '5' to reset the view so that you have a ground reference. Now when you put on your HMD you should be standing on the ground and there should be and Mig-29 over your shoulder, sitting pretty.

-Open The Floor in Model Viewer.

-Choose Add Model (add Aircraft edm),

-Adjust Position of Aircraft

-Set Arguments

-Add Moddel, Select the Roof,

I've already created 2 dozen scenes w/ my Super Bug or DCS F-18C on Carrier Deck :-p

I've already created 2 dozen scenes w/ my Super Bug or DCS F-18C on Carrier Deck :-p

So for Example:

Convert the M-2000C Scene LUA to:

LoadModel("Bazar/World/Shapes/shelter_floor.edm")
AddModel("Bazar/World/Shapes/ukrytie.edm")
SetArgument(0, 1); --Hanger Doors Open.
AddModel("CoreMods/Aircraft/M-2000C/Shapes/M-2000c.EDM", 00.0,1.7,0)
--LoadLivery("A-10C","184th FS Arkansas ANG, Fort Smith (FS)")
SetArgument(0, 1);
SetArgument(1, 0.2);
SetArgument(3, 1);
SetArgument(4, 0.2);
SetArgument(5, 1);
SetArgument(6, 0.2); 
SetArgument(15, -0.2);
SetArgument(16, -0.2); 
SetArgument(38, 0.9);
SetArgument(50, 1.5);

Paste in the End of Autoexec.lua in /Config/ModelViewer/

Though the ModelViewer wont Read the M-2000C Position, So You'd have to LeftShift, And Mouse Up/Down to bring it out of the Floor.

now if only i could remember the string to set a custom livery.

If you change your GUI Theme to something other than the main one where you're flying through the clouds your frame rates should go to 90 in vr.

I Re-shot my video w/ the Main Menu Window Disable, Uploading now, lol.

Skate,

Thank you for the F18!

She sure looks pretty.

Can't wait for release:thumbup:

Mig 15bis

A6M2 Zero, Note: you must have Markindel's A6M2 Zero installed, found here,

http://www.mediafire.com/download/6t3bha335olh4ve/A6M+2+Zero.zip

Copy the bin,cockpit and fm folders from p51d to a6m2 Zero folder. Overwrite. Makes the Zero Flyable with P51 Cockpit.

Thanks Markindel!

Have fun!

Very cool Skate. How did you remove the menu?

Also it would be cool if you could recall how to setLivery what are the right name and path to use. I have a Chinook and I want an Aussie livery on it.

Skate... You crazy guy ;) fantastic work! Will you release a jsgme ready file of the final version?

Very cool Skate. How did you remove the menu?

 

Also it would be cool if you could recall how to setLivery what are the right name and path to use. I have a Chinook and I want an Aussie livery on it.

Using a shortcut argument in the shortcut, I dont recommend it as it disables the menu 100% meaning you have to end process, and you cant do anything but look around,

but for the purpose of the video it was to usable.

according to the source/ED DemoScene API it should be:

scene.m.setLivery("OBJECT", "LIVERY NAME" , "FOLDER TO LIVERY")

However if done wrong causes the entire scene to not load,

And even when all 3 variables are correct it still loads the default textures.
