New StreamDeck Plugin

[frostycab]

I’m not very technical, so cant advise on a lot of that right now, but things like the cyclic WAS switch may become available in the same was as the current clickables later in EA. None of the cyclic switches seem to be animated yet, so when they are it wouldn’t surprise me if it started to work.

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)

Hotkeys are not the “only” option. You can also use joy keys (DirectX).

They are animated, but unused.

Just getting into this and really like it! Is there anyway to get it to put a text output (ie harrier ufc) over 2 lines on one button?

Yes. Use /n as Enter in the text/string.

In the lua i am guessing?

Yes

[tea_cypher]

OK so I am guessing I would need to edit

Quote

    local lRep = 8 - lUFC_Left_Position:len() - lUFC_Right_Position:len()

    lUFC_Display = lUFC_Left_Position..string.rep(" ", lRep)..lUFC_Right_Position

Would the /n go in the first line where the - is?

I'm just going to say "no" because I can't tell what you mean, haha. Take a look at a previous example that someone has already done. You can go to to Library (in my signature), click the wiki, find an aircraft with multi-line outputs (there are many), take note of the ID number (like 3008 for example), and then go to that aircrafts lua and find "3008". You will see the syntax there. 

The format for a Newline is native to Lua so it is also Googleable.

I think you mean \n not /n found some eaxaple of it in DCS-ExportScripts/SpitfireLFMkIX.lua at 1a9be1635fb24ca0e3335cd5c7a38dd68548b4c0 · asherao/DCS-ExportScripts · GitHub

Ok changed 

 

    lUFC_Display = lUFC_Left_Position..string.rep(" ", lRep)..  lUFC_Right_Position

to

    lUFC_Display = lUFC_Left_Position..string.rep(" ", lRep).. "\n".. lUFC_Right_Position

Seems to have done the job

Awesome. Glad we for that worked out over discord. 

[tea_cypher]

Has any one discovered away to output the comm menue that comes up on the top left corner?

 

[tea_cypher]

Also can some one check the Harrier Comm Chanel out puts/ mine done seem to be working.

Quote

    ExportScript.Tools.SendData(2023, string.format("%s", lUFC_Chnl1)) -- string with max 2 charachters
    ExportScript.Tools.SendData(2024, string.format("%s", lUFC_Chnl2)) -- string with max 2 charachters

Don't know if there has been an update to the harrier that means the hook are n o longer valid as I cant find the ouputs in the DCS Comms tab

Here y'all go. Export for the apache.  https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/tree/master/Scripts/DCS-ExportScript/ExportsModules
You can sub/favorite the Git, my discord, or this thread for updates (https://forum.dcs.world/topic/283178-dcs-exportscripts-for-stream-deck-community-github-library/)
The export itself seems pretty much fully finished minus custom functions for SD stuff. If it were a "version", I'd likely call it 1.0. It should be good for most people to make a full stream deck profile (which I am also working on).

Hi Bailey, any update on this nice Apache profile you're cooking ?

Nope. Busy with other stuff. You can see most of the progress in the git. I posted all my pics, images, and lua.

@ctytler, how can I escape colons? I have a time function I'd like to use but the colons seem to be interrupting the parsing done by DCS-Interface.

[Toni Carrera]

Hi All,

To which awesome apache profile from Bailey are you referring to?

Just curious

I have streamdeck working for multiple aircraft-F18, AH64D, Huey,A10C2 but cannot get it to work for the SU25-t.
The plug in is properly installed. When clicking 'ID Lookup' in the streamdeck application, the list of bindable controls is empty. However, clicking 'DCS Comms' and then 'refresh' shows a list of DCS IDs and the last received value.
I am in the SU25T in the first training lesson.
The export.log says:

do you have the correct path listed in the top box when looking up an ID?

[skypickle]

Yes the correct path is used. In fact, I removed all mods just the same and the su25T does not seem to register with the stream deck plug in. The export.lua file in the scripts folder includes the proper line:

 

-- load the DCS ExportScript for DAC and Ikarus
dofile(lfs.writedir()..[[Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportScript.lua]])

 

 

The SU25T lua file  does exist in the proper location:

 

C:\Users\Me\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\DCS-ExportScript\ExportsModules

 

However, this comment is also present in the lua file

-----------------------------------------
-- FLAMING CLIFFS AIRCRAFT / Su-25T    --
-- FC aircraft don't support GetDevice --
-----------------------------------------

 

When clicking 'ID Lookup' in the streamdeck application, the list of bindable controls for the entry for 'Flaming Cliffs' in the stream deck is populated. Is the SU25T ONLY a flaming cliffs aircraft? If so, why is there an entry for the SU25T in the drop down?

Hi all

I'm creating a profile for the AV-8B and am trying to display the armament panel counters with spaces between the characters but don't know what function (or where) to add to the LUA file to make this possible.

I.e.
   

Quote

 

--[392] = "%.4f",    --InVT x 10 1. DRUM
    --[393] = "%.4f",    --InVT x 10 2.
    --[394] = "%.4f",    --InVT x 10 3.

        digits = {}
    digits[1] = string.format("%1.0f",mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(392) * 10)
    digits[2] = string.format("%1.0f",mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(393) * 10)
    digits[3] = string.format("%1.0f",mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(394) * 10)
    
    ExportScript.Tools.SendData(2020, digits[1]..digits[2]..digits[3])

 

I can display 2020 but would specifically like to add 2 spaces between each digit to fit the custom icons I'm creating.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

print(digits[1]..twoSpaces..digits[2]..twoSpaces..digits[3])

Hello there! first sorry for my bad English! 

I made some experiments and tweaks based on previos works found in this forums and i got working on Stream Deck the A4

Its a proof of concept but the panel works. The panel is working on DCS interface:

https://github.com/enertial/streamdeck-dcs-interface (great job!!!)

And

https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts (Epic Idea!!!)

 

After the install of the DCS interface use the ExportScript and point to the 

on the "save" folder not the game  

 

No need to change the folder when playing or use another panels.

 

In the next weeks i will update the Streamdeck profile.

This is fantastic, thanks! Can't wait to use this with the A4.
