Anyone have their Shkval TV tint mod working post 2.7?

[key_stroked]

The modified tint .bmp is in the right location (C:\Games NS\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Ka-50\Cockpit\IndicationTextures), and the modified color shows in the folder when I set the icons to large tiles, but in game it's still black and white.

Anyone had luck getting the tint to work after 2.7?

[key_stroked]

I guess not...

Still trying to get this to work. Was the ability to do this disabled by ED?

ED blocked a lot of things, they are superfast to block Mods like the extra Vikhr but needs years to fix a broken Shkval .....

I tried to make it work without success, the test picture is changeable but not the tint. Seems like the Lua is ignoring the SHKVAL_MASK picture at all.

 

This mod was great, missing it too

Hey everyone, apologies for grave digging but I think I've figured it out for 2.7

 

\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Ka-50\Cockpit\Scripts\SHKVAL

open up SHKVAL_init.lua

change the used_render_mask value to the following:

 

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."devices_defs.lua")

indicator_type             = indicator_types.COMMON
used_render_mask         = LockOn_Options.script_path.."../IndicationTextures/SHKVAL_MASK.bmp"
render_target_always     = LockOn_Options.flight.easy_radar

I tried this...but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I'm running version 2.7.10.1473.

Any idea?

This works! I changed the colour of the bitmap file "SHKVAL_MSK.bmp to something yellowish, and changed the line in "SHKVA_init.lua" as indicated by @arthuro12.
It's a very simple change.

And now my Shkval screen has this changed colour which seems to improve visibility of targets considerably. I will keep that!

However I will need to set it up with OvGME to protect it from being voided by the next update.
And we know of course that any future update might just make it unusable.

Oh man, thanks for double checking! I was losing my mind if I changed any other files or not :'D

Thanks a million!... will try this right away!

Now with version 2.7.11.22211 this mask produces a very bad SHKVAL display. I find that the display is quite clear without the mask now. So I backed this mod out.

Amazing, thanks for finding this out @arthuro12. I have updated my original Shkval mod and linked the original post with the new file below
