New StreamDeck Plugin

bones1014 · March 25, 2023

I put together a button for the Mirage F1 EE ECM lights. Try it out and if someone can think of a different way to display it let me know. The font that looks the best IMO is Size 18 Courier and centered. I use an orange color and the attached lua and images.

function ExportScript.BARAX_lights(mainPanelDevice)
	local pattern
	--all off condition
	if 	mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1265) == 0 and mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1266) == 0 and  
		mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1267) == 0 then 
			pattern = "    "  .. '\n' .. "    "
			--E off AR on and AV on
	elseif mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1265) == 0 and mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1266) == 1 and  
			mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1267) == 1 then
			pattern = "  𝐀𝐕"  .. '\n' .. "  𝐀𝐑"
		--E off AV on AR off
	elseif mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1265) == 0 and mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1266) == 1 and  
			mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1267) == 0 then
			pattern = "  𝐀𝐕"  .. '\n' .. "    "
		--E off AV off AR on
	elseif mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1265) == 0 and mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1266) == 0 and  
			mainPanelDevice:get_argument_value(1267) == 1 then
			pattern = "    "  .. '\n' .. "  𝐀𝐑"
	end
	ExportScript.Tools.SendData(7001, pattern)
end

Total noob question, sorry.

I am currently using the LUA file for the A10C-2 (via a copy, paste, rename of the A10C) that came with the initial download of DCS-ExportsScripts files when I setup Charles DCS Interface. Having read through all 37 pages, it looks like has a LUA file on Github (Link) that was updated about 8mo ago. I recall reading on one of the 37 pages that we should be updating LUA files to keep things up to date. My question, is the LUA file in the link the current A10C-2 file? If so, do I just ditch the old file and paste this new one in the ExportsModules folder? I haven't done a direct comparison but the Bailey LUA looks a bit different, certainly the format, does that matter? If I replace this file, will I lose functionality of the profile I have currently setup?

Thanks everyone, appreciate it, sorry for the elementary question.

If there are any custom functions in your current Lua that aren't in the one you want to try then yes, you will lose them. I'd suggest renaming your old one to *_backup.lua or something and try the new one. Bailey usually puts some good extras in his. I haven't used the A10C so I can't tell you anything about it.

I cannot get the freq selectors to work. For example, a rotary assigned ID 3023, Device 55 with increment 0.1 and range 0.1 to 0.9 flips the knob all the way. Is there something else I should be using?

On which aircraft? I get that on the Mirage F1 INS panel. Might be a bug because it happens with the keyboard commands too.

what else do you want from the description? It should match the popup on the mouse cursor.

skypickle · March 27, 2023

@bones1014This is for the A10C-2 with the ARC - 210 radio. The description in the dialog from the plug in just says ARC-210. The extra description from the clickable data extract that identifies the button function is not shown for me in the stream deck plugin dialog.How do you identify what each button does. What popup are you talking about?

As for which aircraft, I thought it is obvious that I am speaking about the ARC-210 radio.The freq selector doesn't work. For the 100 MHz, I can only get it to go up. For the 10 MHz it goes from one extreme to the other with one click even tho the increment is set to 0.1. Is this your experience?

I didn't know which plane the arc 210 is in. 🫤 The pop-up is the one in the cockpit when you mouse over the control. You can search for that text if you have to.

I hate everything Restarting my pc for the 10th time got it working again, I don't know how but it did.

Has anyone run into an issue recently where the script stops working in game and out? ID Lookup and DCS Comms are both blank and if I click a button I've already created it flashes up a yellow warning symbol on that button and nothing happens. I'm assuming something has gone wrong and the script isn't communicating with the streamdeck and vice versa but I'm not sure what to do, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no dice. I noticed it happening yesterday but I haven't done an PC updates or even installed/uninstalled any programs in the past few days so it can't be something like that interfering with it. I've also tried removing everything in my Export.lua except the ExportScript.lua line but nothing happened.

Sometimes the streamdeck plugin goes stupid. I have gotten the same symptoms. I have had to alt tab out of the game, quit streamdeck and restart it . Then it works

The rotaries don't work with the plugin but I just use regular keyboard binds. You can create "button stacks" and cycle through the key binds you set.

Phoenix FR · April 15, 2023

Ok, you mean that you can set up a key binding when you rotate to the right, and another one when you rotate to the left, like a 2 way button ?

exactly There's a left, and tap control you can set.

Thank you for the answer.

I have to order one to test.

What is the difference in your profile between 1 and 10s. Is it the amount that is increment ?

one turns the 1's position of the TACAN and the other the 10's position.

I had downloaded the stream deck profile of FA-18, it can show the amount of fuel and bingo on stream deck(ID 2008,2009,2010),how can i find the ID on P-47 or the other plane(i want to show the frequency on stream deck,is this possible?) is there any ExportsModules.lua For P-47-40?THANKS

Hi, I have a question about StreamDeck. I know it's probably possible to do it somehow, I even saw on YouTube that someone had it working. I'm wondering how I can display data on the StreamDeck, such as altitude and speed. I'm flying F/A-18C. I tried looking for these values in the DCS Comms tab, but I couldn't find anything. I also tried searching the forum, but I didn't find anything. Could someone explain how to do it?

Sure it's possible but why do you need to? There's a nice HUD with all that data easily available. Better than on the Stream Deck.

I know that the HUD displays them quite well, but I've had a few situations where flying at low altitude without autopilot, I zoomed in on the MFD view and couldn't see the HUD. When I looked up again, it turned out that I was about to crash because I would have flown into the ground. Generally, by having access to this data at all times, even when not looking at the HUD, I could avoid such situations.

As I said before, you can do it. I wouldn't be able to help as I don't own the Hornet. If you're good at duplicating other examples you could look at any of the module export files that display the altitude and probably work it out the same way in the Hornet.

Hey, the plugin & exports are functional as I can program lights and buttons using known IDs, but for all modules except Flaming Cliffs, the ID Lookup list is blank.

It's definitely my install directory and all my modules populate. Putting in a different directory causes them to depopulate.
