Lockonmsg.exe (a utility to send team or all messages via command line)

[dodger42]

Hey everyone,

 

I got tired of having to type things like "buddy spike" when I'm busy in Lockon. I created a small utility so you can script your commands. You could attach them to function keys or something.

 

This utility will likely become part of the Touch-Buddy application shortly, but you can also use it standalone.

Usage: lockonmsg.exe /a (all) /t (team) "message"

Example: lockonmsg.exe /a "s! all"

 

Note: If your message contains spaces, the message must be enclosed in "".

Dodger i opened it up and it didnt do anything, could you explain a little more what is supposed to happen or what we need to do, thanks.

Wouldn't it be easier to use some sort of voice comms ?

Like TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, Roger Wilco etc ??

Yah voice comms is good, but quite often if your not in a squad you wont be talking to those your flying with.

 

I kind of didnt mention the main reason for writing it, and that's for dedicated servers.

 

Also, I'm working on a switch like this:

 

lockonmsg.exe /stat

 

Which would send the following to your team:

 

42SF-Dodger: ALT = 32, IAS = 0, Hdg = 357

 

It hooks up via local LUA. The above example is a LUA export of that data whilst sitting in the parking area.

 

The ability to say press a F1 and have that sent would really heap team situational awareness.

Hey Jessi, did you have lockon running? The version you have wouldnt check to see if its running. The latest version (which I havent posted) does that check first.
