problem Export.lua Data

[spinter]

Sorry

my Problem is:

Create a server with vb.net for read data BlackShark.

 

 

There is an example in vb or c for create server?

[spinter]

I can not help anyone?

[Acedy]

Black Shark supports only direct data export via Lua, not C or VB, so the easiest thing would be to create a socket using the Lua Socket library, which sends data to your application via TCP or UDP. It should be no problem to write the application in another language, as long as it interprets the byte-stream/-segments it receives from the socket correctly. There is a tutorial about Lua exporting here, which also includes an example of how to communicate via sockets:

 

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=567&scr=default&lang=en

 

However this contains more or less the same information as the Export.lua file itself. Note that both the file and the tutorial above are not completely up to date anymore, so it's a bit of a trial and error process. For example some of the LoXYZ() exporting functions don't work in Black Shark, and there are a lot more new arguments for the LoSetCommand() function to control the Black Shark and the environment.

 

And here you can find the Lua Socket reference:

What exactly are you trying to do?

thanks Acedy

[spinter]

Ok server solved

 

 

because in multiplayer but I can not export?

[JG14_Smil]

thank you for that post Acedy.

[spinter]

in multiplayer I can not extract any data, where am I wrong?

[JG14_Smil]

export is disabled in MP to stop cheating. You would need a server that uses export enabled.

[Distiler]

Spinter what are you trying to do? (so we can help better)

 

To export data in mp, I think server's /config/export/config.lua has to be edited to "EnableExportScript = true"

Lua question

 

Hello,

 

I have been reading from the link...

 

http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=567&scr=default&lang=en

 

...to learn about lua exporting. I have searched my BS folders, but cannot find the Listener.lua and Talker.lua files the tutorial mentions.

 

I've installed BS to another partition, could it have interferred with the lua files installation?

 

thanks for any help. I really do want to lean more about this...

Thanks so much. This sounds like just what the doctor ordered.

 

As for me, I was trying to export to a serial port -- a usb board configured as a serial port -- without much success. I'm thinking now I should configure it as some kind of HID device.

 

So far I've just got it working as a keyboard so I can send keystrokes to the sim.

 

What's everyone else doing?

I can't find them either. I don't think they exist.

Let's keep this thread going as a place we can talk about this stuff.

My config.lua Enabled EnableExportScript = true ok

 

I export data in singleplayer all ok!

 

multiplayer no export nine data!!!

 

 

 

My example export.lua

 

 

dofile("./Scripts/Aircrafts/Ka-50/Cockpit/devices.lua")

 

 

function LuaExportStart()

dofile("./LuaSocket/Socket.lua")

socket = require("socket")

host = host or "localhost"

port = port or 8080

c = socket.try(socket.connect(host, port)) -- connect to the listener socket

c:setoption("tcp-nodelay",true) -- set immediate transmission mode

socket.try(c:send("Connect"))

end

 

function LuaExportBeforeNextFrame()

 

end

function LuaExportAfterNextFrame()

 

end

function LuaExportActivityNextEvent(t)

local tNext = t

tNext = tNext + 1.0

local R_800 = GetDevice(devices.R_800)

local frequency = R_800:get_frequency()

 

socket.try(c:send(string.format(frequency)))

return tNext

end

 

function LuaExportStop()

-- Works once just after mission stop.

socket.try(c:send("Quit")) -- to close the listener socket

c:close()

end

[PanelBuilder]

My config.lua Enabled EnableExportScript = true ok

 

I export data in singleplayer all ok!

 

end

 

Hi Spinter,

 

Can I ask, what are you exporting to?

 

If I understood that it would really help me get a handle on this.

 

Thanks,

Colin

[spinter]

I have to export the R800 radio frequencies for a project teamspeak

[PanelBuilder]

Ah. Cool.

Thanks, in hindsight I figured those files were from a LockOn installation and not the same as BS. I was just hoping to learn from the examples. I don't even know enough yet to explain what I want to do... :)

 

I have an Epic card setup. Epic is an input/output card from the mid to late nineties. It was mostly used by simmers with MS FS and can use 'pigeon holes' to get data from the flight sim to trigger switches and events in a cockpit. I currently can wire up 512 switches, 16 analog axis, 8 virtual axis and (at this time) 32 lights or outputs. I can run guages, encoders for full motion, ect.

 

I am nowhere near smart enough to do all that alone, but I can get help from several places. I'm trying to learn before I ask so I can make it easier for those that help me. :)

 

I am guessing I need events from BS (at this time I am most intetrested in anunciator and indicator lights) to be true or false, sent to a socket(?) or port with a memory range or ID that the Epic can see (or some program to act between the Epic and flight sim). I believe it uses C++.

 

I really did not mean to hijack the original thread and just want to learn what i can. I'll ask better questions when I can :)

 

thanks

Hey JG,

I'm using Epic too.

I wrote a Tool for Lock on two years ago (EpiFC). But only for MCP using QProcs. I'm planing to develop a complete interface for DCS using PH's and Qprocs. But I think it would be clever to wait for the PCIP, so I can avoid Problems with the current "Franken.lua".

Maybe we can share some info.

Regards

 

Raptor

Great news. thank you very much Raptor. will stay in touch and plenty of work to do before I need any export :)

is correct im use for send my listner vb.net ?
