RvEYoda Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Turn rate is actually based on heading change. This is not a bug. However I’m going to add a 3D “dogfight” turn rate in next versions if you wish. Do not hesitate to send me requests by email or PM because I can’t think about every possible feature :). That would be very helpful. A lot of people would appreciate it :) :pilotfly: S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asparagin Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Here's my batch scripts that'll switch back and forth between stock export and a Tacview enabled export. Adapt the paths in the scripts as necessary. Note that this is for Tacview 0.95. Case, in order to get the .acmi file is it necessary to run the track in the viewer or does your tool convert .trk to .acmi?

Case Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Case, in order to get the .acmi file is it necessary to run the track in the viewer or does your tool convert .trk to .acmi?You have to replay the track to get an ACMI file. On most MP servers you cannot record an ACMI file because they either let you use a stock export.lua that doesn't execute Tacview, or they have exports turned off. To get an ACMI you will have to replay the track (something like temp/client-20100518-105611.miz.trk) with your local export.lua having Tacview enabled. The batch files above are to make your life easier in switching between a Tacview enabled export.lua (for replaying tracks), and a stock export.lua (to play on MP servers). If you want to replay tracks easily, check this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=53270. It uses another batch script to replay tracks with the single click of a button, as well as enabling external views and labels.

Yes for this it is very useful. It would be also nice to have a .trk to .acmi converter, but I don't know if this is possible.

I know for falcon someone made a tool for converting .vhs to .acmiThat would be sort of impossible, because a track is very specific to LockOn itself. The only way to get an ACMI from a track is to replay it, which is what I tried to make simpler with my replay batch script.

Insanatrix Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 A problem I had was that after watching a replay of a track from when I was on the 104th server the acmi files were empty. So I opened up the track file in 7zip and manually changed the export config lua file to say true instead of false. thats the only way I could get it to work. Maybe something new with 1.2.1?

It might indeed be that the mission provided config.lua overrides the local one when replaying a track. I will look into it later today and include it in the one click replay scripts.

Insanatrix Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yes my export is set to true. but the one inside the track files was set to false and no matter how I tried I couldn't export the acmi unless I changed it in the actual track files config Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll adapt the replay.bat script later today. Feel free to apply the change on your own installation. It would simply be to add the config.lua script to the mission file.

So, the 104th server includes config.lua in the mission file and and tracks recorded with the mission use the same config.lua file with global exports = false. To manually get the track playback to produce a Tacview, -rename the *.trk file to *.zip -open the *.zip file and delete the config folder containing config.lua -rename the file back to *.trk -then replay the track Edited May 18, 2010 by Crunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insanatrix Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Slightly off topic but, Kind of curious but could you store other stuff inside the mission file such as rearm.lua so you could use a modified rearm for each different mission and the mission will force you to use the one in the mission file rather than your client's? This could be useful in many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitDieseL Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I had .94 working but now I tried to get .95 to work and it will not. I tried using the same method and files I did before the patch, thats probably why it won't work. Can someone please upload the edited export files so I can get it to work. Thanks in advance.

104th_Crunch Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 DD, you should not have to do anything manual. After installation did yo go into Tacview and select the 'record flaming cliffs 2' option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitDieseL Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I got it to work Crunch, but I can't get the trk to record a tacview trk. I seen the instructions you posted on how to get a 104Th Sever trk to beable to produce a tacview trk, but I have no clue how to do it, your instructions were alittle confusing to me. Also I failed the 104th IC after installing tacview and changing the config and export files to allow tacview to work. I was ok after I deselected the record FC2 in tacview.

My instructions were not for Tacview. My instructions were for watching a track replay that has externals off and turn externals on manually. You can do this in automated way as well with LOTU To get a Tacview, simply play back the track even if externals are disabled. With Tacview turned on to record, it will make the track as you play it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitDieseL Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I tried that and it gives me this error. Every other thing works- I can watch a FC trk and produce a tacview trk on anything but 104 trks.

herig2 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Tacview works, but some of the servers IC downloads turn it off. e.g. I flew in the 3Sq server, thier IC mod disables Tacview. Afterwards I flew a SP mission, then went to see what I did wrong. (got shot down), No Tacview. I had to go back to Modman to uninstall the 3Sq IC check, to have Tacview again. Never tried Tacview in the 104th, maybe they also disable it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitDieseL Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) Yes they do have it disabled- but I should beable to play the FC trk from that session and create a tacview from the FC trk- but I get the above error on anything from the 104th server.
