Liam Perry Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Dear All, I am trying to use Notepad++ to save as and modify monitorsetup lua files for multi-monitor use. However, once saved they are not seen in DCS World / options / system / monitors list. Why is that? I am running Notepad++ in administrator but the resulting files in the correct "Monitorsetup" folder are not recognised by DCS World. What do I need to do please? Many thanks, Liam
draconus Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 It's a program - any missing semicolon or wrong bracket and it's corrupted, so how can we guess if your file is good? https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/Exporting_MFCD_Displays Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
jonsky7 Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Are you changing the "name" of the setup in the lua file, or just changing the filename of the lua file? It is the name in the code that is displayed in DCS settings, not the filename. Also, your monitor config files should be saved in saved games/DCS/Config/monitorsetup. _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('MYMONITOR'); <<---- THIS LINE Description = 'Left MFCD on the left monitor,Right MFCD on the right and camera on the center' Viewports =
Liam Perry Posted March 2, 2021 Author Posted March 2, 2021 Very many thanks Draconus and Jonsky7. I think it has to do with my permissions and Bullguard antivirus settings that is not letting me save the file. All the rest seems good. I am doing the same on a machine elsewhere from my home and all works well. Just a little frustrating for someone not so hot on all this. Kindest regards, Liam
