RvEYoda Posted December 8, 2009 Author Posted December 8, 2009 Excellent, so now what remains....is security :D (misusage) I proposed this combined server browser/mod manager which automatically configures your game to comply with server rules, but we'll see if we can make something like that.

A.S Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Wild idea .... erm ..can someone make a cockpit mod kicking the MPCD out (in case of F-15) and putting in the LEAVU MFD with all combined functions in instead...yaay? For the russians it could be old MFD vs new MFD. Cause what i understand so far, only ppl with extrnal mfd-monitors or 2nd monitors really benefit from that ...right? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

104th_Crunch Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 This aspect independence is also why we cannot just fit a normal picture of an mfd on top. Some people have different screen aspects and sizes. I'm open to suggestions on how to solve the issue of the panel having no cool panel picture ;). What about having a limited number fixed sizes like 512x512, 1024x1024 etc. Then just the same graphic at the different fixed resolutions and aspects. Side thought... How about a version of LEAVU that has datalink disabled, so you can use it strictly as a second display of MFD's like LOVP? Or, maybe the option for a server to choose a version of LEAVU without DL. Just a thought.
GGTharos Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 This is possible, but it is also potentially a very difficult solution. Side thought...

I really wish to keep the display capable of running any resolution and aspect, this is one of the primary features I want in there. I dont know how the server/client could possibly verify which leavu version is running... Even if you put such a control in, a user with basic programming knowledge could circumvent that control by just editing the source code. Just like there could already be ( and probably already are ) other software out there which work like unrealistic datalinks hidden from public.

104th_Crunch Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks for the reply Yoda. The latest screen shot looks great! Keep up the good work guys.
Vekkinho Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 LEAVU EXP is not like AF EXP. LEAVU EXP is like OF EXP, where you look closer at where your cursor is. ;) and OF is a closer Falcon avionics suite IMHO! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Vekkinho Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Anyway, I'm glad things like LEAVU finally come to life...If 3rd party mods like this find their way into future DCS modules me can really expect awesome simming in the future! Now the main task is to make it accepted to available MP servers. With lots of doubting Thomas' I've seen...it gonna be hard! 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Grimes Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 The 3Sqn server will require a default export.lua file and any other files which could be used to mine gaming information from the server. The reason why we are disallowing it is simple. While the intentions of LEAVU are noble at heart, and Yoda's F-15 mod may in-fact be based on a realistic feature, it still allows a clever programmer to create their own features. It doesn't matter how realistic or unrealistic these features may be. Now obviously I am most worried about the unrealistic features as people can effectively create cheats. That said realism intended modifications of LEAVU could easily still allow an unfair advantage to that pilot. Its not only an unfair advantage against the opposing team, its an unfair advantage against your own teammates. So Vekkinho, I'm a doubting Thomas because this mod simply doesn't copy your radar screen for the F-15, it adds information to it. If it just copied it and allowed for the display on a larger monitor or on a special monitor for pitbuilders than so be it. But as far as the F-15 datalink goes. It adds an extra level SA that is not normally present to every other player. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Kuky Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Just got a thought... if lets say any particular server enforces integrity check of Export.lua file and that same server wants to run LEAVU, then every client that connects must have same Export.lua file and if in there, there are extra lines specified to run custom LUA scripts to allow LEAVU to gather client info, then every client must run same scripts meaning everyone would have to have LEAVU running? I find this higly undesireable and like Grimes said, when FC 2.0 comes out our server will not allow any of this and everyone will require to have default game installed only.

Placing it internally i dont know how to do it... I dont think so Yes it is possible, you can paste any bitmap into an existing DirectX context. Think of how Fraps does it. It is composition at the last stage of rendering. I don't know how to capture keypresses and mouse clicks from the composited context anyway so it is a bit moot.

It is composition at the last stage of rendering. I don't know how to capture keypresses and mouse clicks from the composited context anyway so it is a bit moot. I can already capture keypressed from the lockon process. If you can do the graphics, i already have the keys. I do this by having lua load a dll which calls native windows functions.

Vekkinho Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Kuky, I'm not gonna explain why I think mods like LEAVU should be implemented with future DCS modules, but if LEAVU provides data that actually exist in real F-15C than the only way of having realistic DCS:F-15C module in the future is having it this way. I believe that LEAVU should be disabled for use with any other flyable in LOFC 1.12 or 2.0 as other flyables don't have such capabilities IRL. Ballance or not, this is nothing but realism! If same or similar feature exists with Su-27P it's ok to make a Sukhoi like MFD with similar function! Yoda's and GGT's bias for F-15C is something I'm aware of but I can't prove them wrong when they say F-15C is a helluva fighter. Their knowlegde on it is a lot bigger than mine plus it's results in conflicts prove it, (no losses lots of kills) so having a F-15C in LOFC for the sake of ballance was a good idea, having LEAVU in FC for the sake of making in game F-15C what it is IRL (superiority fighter) even better one! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Vekkinho Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 I'm not afraid of F-15C + LEAVU, it's one helluva mix but that's how it is IRL. Finally LOFC MP shall look like real skies, if there are F-15C nearby you run and hide within a S-300 range! Realism isn't it? What I'm most afraid now with LEAVU and with all other similar mods that'll follow it are the Su-25 with datalinks!!! This wouldn't be reallistic at all and THIS is what would ruin FC MP! So Yoda please explain how can one be sure that those Frogfoot flyers can't benefit from LEAVU? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
