OPTIONS_ADD_COMMAND_CODES_TO_TOOLTIP function removed? Why?

[Xtorris]

This was so helpful, for mission making. Sad to see it go.

[Cyking]

the new way to enable this is, go to autoexec.cfg in your dcs saved games \config

add following line: 

input = 
{
command_code_tooltips = true,
}

Works, thank you.

Great there is a way - and actually, this is a better way, because finally this is a Saved Games setup, not messing with the installation stuff.

Of course, *.lua suffix would be more handy for syntax highlighting in editors. But thanks for the info!

Or, just a thought, have this available in the launcher or 'cogwheel' config pages. Revolutionary, I know, having customizable options helpfully accessible to users. Maybe in a couple of years...

The file does not exist by default. You hve to create it.

Can't seem to make this work.

created autoexec.cfg in saved games/DCS/config

added the line

input = 
{
command_code_tooltips = true,
}

but nothing...

ideas?

the line seems ok, so only explanations that come to mind:

1) You are using an older version of DCS, as this option is fairly recent.

2) Your /Saved Games/ is not on the path you think it is.

 

Attach your dcs.log file to gather more clues.

Its same as yours, but here is anyway

autoexec.cfg

Checked your log and everything seems in order, your autoexec.cfg should be at C:\Users\andre\Saved Games\DCS\Config\

And that is exactly where it is. I also tried yours with no luck. Honestly I wouldn't know what I could be doing wrong

I have problems with that function too.

If I fly and go to control setup, the tooltips dont pop up. If I then quit the mission, and go into options > controls, then the tooltips are shown.

There is something wrong with it.

Same for me, I only get the tooltips when I'm at Options -> Controls, not while flying. It doesn't bother me anyway, as once I research a Code I then note it on my own spreadsheet.

[algherghezghez]

Ok it works, I was only trying inflight. Dumb me didn't think to check in the main menu options. thanks guys!
