jiblet Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 It's not so much the individual aircraft scripts. My problem is that the plugin can't seem to communicate with the game itself. Taht side of things seems to be handled by files within DCS-ExportScript\lib, like Tools.lua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just wondering if something in the more recent export scripts is breaking it. It’s probably something else though. I’m grasping at straws. I know this may sound condescending, but you are actually in a mission when you try the DCS Comms, aren't you? Silly mistake that I made when I first tried. AND You've got the correct path set in the ID Lookup page? Another silly mistake I made 2 days ago Edited March 29, 2022 by frostycab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiblet Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hah, no problem @frostycab - we all make daft mistakes and I'm happy to be called out on them because I'm fairly convinced that I am indeed doing something daft here. However, it's not either of these ID Lookup path is set and returns values from the game. And yes I'm in a mission when I try th eDCS Comms button. The Export.log shows things like "11:31:58:593 : File 'C:\Users\jiblet\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportsModules\JF-17.lua' loaded" So it seems the DCS side of things is loading the right export script when I start the mission.

Toni Carrera Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 @frostycab I have this issue, uninstall from StreamDeck the DCS Interface, and reinstall it. I personally am reinstalling version 1.0.4 of StreamDeck XL interface This resolves for me the issue where when I press a button that has already worked I get an Exclamation Mark, and the is not information for any module, and no modules even listed under 'ID Lookup' Apologies if what I am describing is not relevant and wasting your time. I am also wondering if the latest update to the StreamDeck software itself is causing, at least it has just dawned on me that this is when my problem started Toni Toni Carrera (Ice Rhino) ThrustMaster HOTAS Warthog Throttle & A10C Stick, ThrustMaster F/A-18C Stick, ThrustMaster TFRP Pedals, ThrustMaster Cougars x 2, fitted to CubeSim USB Screens, TrackIR 4 Active LED & Cap Reflector, Stream Deck XL Intel® Core™ i7-5820K 12 Core Processor, 32GB RAM, 1 x 500GB SSD, 2 x 256GB SSD, 1 x 1TB SSD 4 x 4TB Western Digital Mechanical. 2 x ASUS GTX 1080's SLI, ASUS 29" Ultrawide flanked by 2 x 22" IPS Monitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordants Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hi This maybe of no relevance to your problems, but I find in order for my stream deck and DCS to communicate via the DCS Interface I have to first open the Stream Deck and DCS after initial boot of my computer. If I open the internet first then the two fail to communicate i.e. exclamation mark on the stream deck buttons. Though using system hotkey program keys are un affected.

jiblet Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Volanta. That's the cause of my problem! After reisntalling everything (like 200GB of everything) and then slowly reinstalling plugins, it seems that if you ahve this exporet file: -- load the DCS ExportScript for DAC and Ikarus dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportScript.lua]]) dofile(lfs.writedir() .. "Scripts/DCS_Volanta.lua") local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') YOu get the problem I had. If you ahve this: dofile(lfs.writedir() .. "Scripts/DCS_Volanta.lua") local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') -- load the DCS ExportScript for DAC and Ikarus dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportScript.lua]]) THen it works... but with over a second of lag between pushing a button on the SD and seeing a result in-game~~~~. And if you have this:v -- dofile(lfs.writedir() .. "Scripts/DCS_Volanta.lua") local Tacviewlfs=require('lfs');dofile(Tacviewlfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TacviewGameExport.lua') -- load the DCS ExportScript for DAC and Ikarus dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportScript.lua]]) With Volanta commented out, or indeed missing entirely then everything works fine.

sobe Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I am trying to get my Apache Helios profile and the new Apache interface profile for the Apache to run together. I thought I had solved this problem, but apparently not. In my Scripts>export.lua file I have Helios as the first entry and the DCS ExportScripts as the last entry. Separately, both work fine. But together, no joy. I hate to have to pick one over the other. Any thoughts?

frostycab Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I've never managed to attribute any issues to running it as admin. You could try running both DCS and the Streamdeck NOT in admin mode to see if that works for you too. When I finally got it working I was told that you just need to ensure that you haven't just got one of them in admin, but I haven't tested to confirm it.

sobe Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 frostycab and Mordants First, as far as I can determine, I am currently running both streamdeck and DCS NOT in admin mode and I cannot get either to work at the same time no matter in which order i place them in the export lua file. second, I will try later to run both of them in Admin mode and hope for the best.

sobe Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Unfortunately it does not matter if you run all or any combination of DCS, Streamdeck and Helios as an Administrator or not, if you try to run both Helios and streamdeck together, neither will work. Someone more knowledgeable than me will have to do that.

sobe Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) I had tried it using the exportscript in the referenced file this morning with no luck. With the winwing fix, what do you do? Cut and paste the lines into my existing exportscripts.lua file (after making a backup of course). Is there a completed file with this fix already included. I could be wrong, but I am currently running a version dated April 2 and it seems to have it in the file already.

ThatSillyGinge Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Hey all - most likely a stupid question, however I've been able to setup Streamdeck Profiles for the clickable cockpit. However, not everything that I'd like to get setup is clickable in the flight deck (for example, on the Apache a decent number of controls such as throttle, pilot WAS switches, IHADSS symbology select) aren't clickable, but are keybind'able. To get those functions working on a StreamDeck, is the only option to map the hotkey? Would be nice to do it without first needing to set up a whole bunch of keybindings (for some reason, my Apache install didn't have any default keybindings, so most things are not bound to the keyboard but directly to the stick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
