reported After 2.7 cannot mouse click on rocket arm switch, only works with keyboard command or joystick button.

[Miles Vorkosigan]

After I installed 2.7 I cannot mouse click on rocket arm switch, only works with keyboard command or joystick button. Worked as normal before the 2.7 update

 

I cannot upload the trk file, it is too big.

Yep, just noticed this yesterday.

Actually ALL switches below covers are not mouse klickable with 2.7 in the Sabre.

Can confirm; 100% reproducible.  Track attached.

Agree, was struggling with this yesterday, couldnt get rockets off while in flight in MP, had to look up keyboard commands to get to work, have since assigned to throttle buttons for work around

[JABowders]

Yea, I found out when rolling in on target ... the Rocket Toggle Switch Cover would Mouse Click but had to desperately look up keyboard commands ...

Works for me in MP, will try SP and see if it still works.

I have compared old and new clickabledata.lua files for the F-86F as well as compared the F-86F to the similar, but fully functional F-5E. What I see is that ED made substantial changes to their scripting of clickable controls. It appears that they have added more parameters. Perhaps when this was done for the F-86, there were typos on all the red switch covers and/or covered switch definitions.

 

For example, here is are old definitions for the F-86:

elements["Rockets_switch_cover"] = default_red_cover  (_("Rocket Release Selector Switch Cover"), devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM,device_commands.Button_10, 750)
elements["Rockets_switch"] = default_3_position_tumb(_("Rocket Release Selector Switch, SINGLE/OFF/AUTO"), devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM,device_commands.Button_9,  751, false)

 

Here are the same elements in the current openbeta F-86:

elements["Rockets_switch_cover"] = default_red_cover  (_("Rocket Release Selector Switch Cover"), devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM,device_commands.Button_10, 750, {-90,0,0})
elements["Rockets_switch"] = default_3_position_tumb(_("Rocket Release Selector Switch, SINGLE/OFF/AUTO"), devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM,device_commands.Button_9,  751, false, nil, nil, nil, {-90,180,0})

 

Here is are similar definitions from the open beta F-5:

elements["PTR-CVR-LVP-GUM-MSL-CAM-342"] = default_red_cover(_("Guns, Missile and Camera Switch Cover, OPEN/CLOSE"), devices.WEAPONS_CONTROL, weapons_commands.GunsMslCamrCover,    342, nil, {0,90,-90})
elements["PTR-TMB-LVP-GUM-MSL-CAM-343"] = default_3_position_tumb(_("Guns, Missile and Camera Switch, GUNS MSL & CAMR/OFF/CAMR ONLY"), devices.WEAPONS_CONTROL, weapons_commands.GunsMslCamr, 343, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, {0,90,0})

F-5:   function default_3_position_tumb(hint_,device_,command_,arg_,cycled_,animation_speed_,inversed_,arg_value_,arg_limit_,turn_box_)

 

They are the same except for the extra "animation_speed_" in the F-5, but look at the calls for the 3-way switch instances:

 

F-86: elements["Rockets_switch"] = default_3_position_tumb(

_("Rocket Release Selector Switch, SINGLE/OFF/AUTO"), devices.WEAPON_SYSTEM,device_commands.Button_9,

751, false, nil, nil, nil, {-90,180,0})

 

F-5: elements["PTR-TMB-LVP-GUM-MSL-CAM-343"] = default_3_position_tumb(

_("Guns, Missile and Camera Switch, GUNS MSL & CAMR/OFF/CAMR ONLY"), devices.WEAPONS_CONTROL, weapons_commands.GunsMslCamr,

343, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, {0,90,0})

 

I don't know if there is a difference between how "false" and "nil" are decoded, but that is the only difference I see.

[peirogi]

Had the same issue, the covered rocket switch was inaccessible with clickable commands, had to bind.

[Knock-Knock]

Any chance of a fix for this, before it hits Stable?

[hornblower793]

It has been reported so the devs are aware

[2alpha-down0]

Cool, now they get to experience this in Stable. 

[Q3ark]

I'm also having this issue since 2.7

[nessuno0505]

Is there a community fix for this? I am thinking about buying the Sabre with summer sale, but I fly only VR and I extensively use mouse clicks, I won't buy a bugged module until there's a fix. Thanks.

[Miles Vorkosigan]

Still worth buying. But do be aware that bugs are a lifetime thing with this module. We are still waiting for the no sound bug to be fixed. And this particular bug has survived through three or four updates so I am not hopeful that it will be fixed any time soon. 

[Rolds]

I can confirm I am getting this one as well.

I have posted a temporary mod to fix this issue for most of the red covered switches. The only one I did not fix is the IFF Destruct switch.

[Miles Vorkosigan]

Again, something that can be solved by the community but should have been fixed by the developers. 

 

Thanks Patrick

Thanks!

There's a few comments on the files page that rockets can't fire with this mod on. Do you know is this still the case?
