It something that broke with the last update. It used to display either the radio channel or freq based on the mode. I've been trying different things and checking the numbers being exported but I can't figure it out. This is what's in the LUA right now

I fixed it. Change this line

local UHF_ARC159_infoBase = ExportScript.Tools.split(list_indication(8), "%c")--this contains the formated table of the base radio

to

local UHF_ARC159_infoBase = ExportScript.Tools.split(list_indication(9), "%c")--this contains the formated table of the base radio

Oh boy this Github... why is it so complicated?
Always makes me nervous when ending up there.
Finding the correct download link always seems to be a big problem for me (yeah i'm getting old).
Who not: Latest version --> link --> click?

I agree, its a headache. After clicking this link (https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts), click the "Code" square/button and then click "Download Zip" in the dropdown. Then unzip/install as other mods/scripts.

You can also navigate to the lua you want and copy/paste the code into the lua file already on your pc.

Big thanks !

Is there a Stream Deck file to go with this? I have managed to incorporate the radio and ADF readouts to my SA342M file but for the life of me cannot get the ADF dials to decrease, If I add a negative value to the increment it still increases. I can't figure out the above dials numbers in the lua file. Apologies if its straight forward but I'm not too bright. I have many hours tinkering with DCS interface values, but it can get frustrating sometimes. Thanks for your time, It's really great the work you do for the community.

Here, try this.
https://github.com/asherao/DCS-ExportScripts/tree/master/docu/StreamDeck Examples
I found the solution on accident because of a fortunate typo I made. For the decrease, make the "Increment range min/max" -1 and 1, respectively. Please let me know if you are able to load the profile in the link above. Thanks for the thanks! It is much appreciated.

You are definitely the man! I've downloaded and installed the profile and works a treat, love it. Now I'm just going to analyse how you did it to see where I went wrong. Though I'm sure I tried all permutations of negative numbers. Obviously not otherwise we wouldn't be having this dialogue! Once again thanks for your generous help, I am indebted.

@Bailey I wrote what it said on the export wiki for the f16. I can get alt pressure readout to work but not 3000-3007 readouts for chaff and flare

I have updated the lua. Please try again. 3000-3007 are working on my end. If it still does not work please post your lua file and the location it was in.

lassekongo · January 4, 2022

@Bailey Will check soon with new F16 export module lua

Bailey · January 4, 2022

Cat's outta the bag. F16 has been updated with the ECM Panel to include the buttons and their colors. Check out this post and the ones surrounding it for the research, collaboration, and awesome teamwork:

Please remember to read the wiki for more information. Enjoy!

So this new f16 lua file seems to send inputs but not recive any to the switch icon images

@Bailey can now confirm sadly that the values for 3000-3007 (chaff flare etc) does still not work for me on the text display. I also posted an other answer to you in New stream deck plugin thread about my issue with the ecm buttons

Oh and second weird issue i am having is that for some reason the switch input and momentary button with lamps is sending inputs and working but is not changing to second state image. I have checked that it is only the F16 module that is having this issue. I have experinced many kinds of errors before with dcs interface (especially ecport lua hehe) and have now reached an ok ish understanding of the varoious things of what causes issues but have never experinced that it is only one module that is having problems like this of changing button state or rather reading it but can send it. As it is only the f16 could there be something with the new Lua perhaps ?

Hi, @bones1014! Just a tiny tip (and optional to use) that can make life easier a bit.
You don't need "string.format()" where inside it you have a ready to use string.
So, for example, instead of:
ExportScript.Tools.SendData(60001, string.format("CH " .. UHF_ARC159_readoutBase:sub(4,6)))
You can simply write:
ExportScript.Tools.SendData(60001, "CH " .. UHF_ARC159_readoutBase:sub(4,6))
It's the same. Well actually the latter is faster to run for two reasons (but this shouldn't matter much), but it's also healthier for the eyes (less reading)!

Where did I do that?

Oh, wait... so the text wasn't yours, you only quoted what you had found in a file written by someone else? :doh: Sorry then

Never mind, I didn't mean anything wrong - it's no big deal, the code will work either way, it just struck me that someone is/was putting more work into that Lua than neccessary.

Oh ok. I don't mind pointers. spaghetti code is bad and wastes time! If there's ever a better way to do something let me know. Coding can be tough.

Black humour, I like it! I can make coffee instead, I don't get that Lua contraption, maybe like 10% of it, at best. I'd love to read one day how this strange language works :book:
Sorry for off-topic!
