New StreamDeck Plugin

[bones1014]

Who's ready to put together their F4 profile?

[Phoenix FR]

I think that we are waiting for the F4 and the script for the F4.

of course  Just need the starter file to begin buildng.

[bones1014]

Has anyone started extracting the clickable? Unfortunately I'm still at work.

[rem27]

I did the logo 

[bones1014]

I got the clickable stuff exported. I'm not sure how to quickly convert it into the lua format. Some guys seem to be able to crank it out pretty quick and I don't know their secret.F-4E_clickabledata.csv

[bones1014]

I'm stuck on how to create the initial file for the Phantom. I've honestly never been able to create this. I don't know what the module name is that the scrip will be looking for.

I'm the same, I've tried various combinations of F-4E, F-4E-45MC but can't seem to get it to work.

Okay, managed to get it to work, this file literally has nothing but the fla p lever in it for testing purposes, but it can be built on.

F-4E-45MC.lua

Hey everyone! @ExoLight and I have put a little something together. They are away on business and allowed me to present our work.

The F-4E lua can be found here: https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/blob/master/Scripts/DCS-ExportScript/ExportsModules/F-4E-45MC.lua
With over 1,000 args, you'll find it pretty extensive. Thank you to https://github.com/charlestytler/dcs-clickabledata-extract!

ExoLight's work on the profile for the StreamDeck can be found here: https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/blob/master/docu/StreamDeck Examples/F-4E.streamDeckProfile
and here: https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/tree/master/docu/Pics/F-4E/Exo's F-4E icons

They had not gotten everything they would have liked in there, but it is still a wonderful start. They will add some more exports in there when they have more time to do so.

Sidenote, they made a table in the Lua file to associate names with export IDs. They feel like this is a good way to keep contributions from multiple people more organized and make bugs less likely. You'll find it pretty explicit.

We hope that some people will find it useful at launch!

Here is how I find the correct name for all modules: 

Sorry @3000 Black Jets of Allah for stealing the stage.

No worries, your work makes my life 1000x easier so thanks!

Well done you guys

For anyone super keen who's going to publish their ultimate streamdeck profiles, please have mind to a 6x3 version - even if it's just dumping everything in folders for others to sort out while you complete your XL masterpiece. Thanks! (looking fwd to trying the profile above)

Found a slight issue that I think? may be caused by the super long Bomb_Qty_Knob value, -0.090919091 as a value seems to make the entire plugin stop working. I changed it to "%.2f" from "%.1f" and it seems to be working now with values of 0.09, 0.18, 0.27 etc. for the quantity wheel.

Thanks. Updated in the Git.

It's any function that increments by a large number of decimal places, so the ones 0.3333333333/0.6666666667 etc. for some reason big numbers crash the plugin. I changed a few of them in the lua, but also a couple in the streamdeck software to manually have less decimals per press and it's working fine.

yep. I've been doing the same thing. I need to do proper github pulls to update stuff and submit it back to the main file.

I'll be waiting. It's so much easier with the in-browser editor now!

I tried committing a change. Github is confusing to me. lmk if it worked.

Thank you Bailey for the help and finding all the IDs!

Hope my small profile has been useful to some of you. I'll keep working on it when I can, but as Bailey said, I'll be fairly busy with work the next few weeks. Contributions or suggestions on what to implement next are of course welcome!

It didn't work.  feel free to post here or PM me the file and I'll integrate it.

Here is what I do:

1. Navigate to the code you want to modify with your browser on the github site.
2. Press the period key. The code editor should pop up.
3. Make your chnges.
4. When done, press the line and dot icon on the left icon bar.
5. Above "commit and push" add a changelog message.
6. Press "commit and push".

the extract_clickabledata.lua seems to fail on some modules. Not sure since when this has been the case.

I noticed it with the F-15E, and found a fork from Tom McPhail, which fixes the ID lookup. (https://github.com/mcphailtom/streamdeck-dcs-interface)

However, the plugin still throws an error with these modules when using the lookup:
