Question about Cold&Dark

[flanker0ne]

Someone know how to modify the "Cold & Dark" situation?

Maybe a .lua file or is more encrypted?

Just to change the position of one or two switches. ThanX.

What situation? What switches? Why lua or encrypted?

Please elaborate.

[flanker0ne]

Uh, sorry.

I'm talking about these switches:

1) Fixtaking Method (below the PVI)

2) Voice message emergency mode (behind the cyclic)

[Panzertard]

Sorry, I still don't understand. Call me slow.

Whats the issue at hand?

Switches not working? Feature in game not working?

[flanker0ne]

I just want these switches in a different position as a normal.

Don't get me wrong! :music_whistling:

[Panzertard]

Ah, so the initial startup position of these switches is not to your liking - you want to set it to another setting when you start the chopper?

Now I get it - yeah, hm, probably something you can tweak in a LUA file.

Okai, I think this is a good place to start:

\Ka-50\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit

Tnx Panzer, so you tell me that the Cold&Dark situation is not in "One" general file, instead every single panel has it's own in the relative directory, right?

Tnx again!

Not sure, sorry. I just remember similar request regarding the UV-26:

Not possible b/c it's all defined in a DLL somewhere I think. Was in a similar situation a couple of years ago myself where I wanted to mod this - no go AFAIR...

[Panzertard]

"Cold at rampstart" is probably a correct term I guess?

[Panzertard]

1. It's the "“И-251В – ПРОЛ” (INU fix-taking method)"?

2. Is it the "“АП” (Emergency radio receiver) switch"?

[flanker0ne]

For the 1) you get it!

The 2) is a 2 position switch with Normal - Emergency. And set the way Ivanka' s messages are played.

[Panzertard]

Okai, just taking some notes here.

 

.\Ka-50\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\command_defs.lua

PlaneNavSetFixtakingMode = 457,

 

.\Ka-50\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\PVI\PVI_commands.lua

{command = Keys.PlaneNavSetFixtakingMode},

 

Hm. Arcade mode has a post-init LUA-file.

.\Ka-50\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\ARCADE\arcade.lua

Some code there, which we may be able to decipher.

 

function post_initialize()
   local [b]weapon_interface[/b] = GetDevice([b]devices.WEAP_INTERFACE[/b])
   local laser_ranger     = GetDevice(devices.LASERRANGER)
   local cpt_mech         = GetDevice(devices.CPT_MECH)
   [b]weapon_interface:performClickableAction[/b](device_commands.[b]Button_1[/b],1.0);

 

Perhaps we could make something like this work:

pvi_interface = GetDevice(devices.[b]PVI[/b])
pvi_interface:performClickableAction(device_commands.[b]PlaneNavSetFixtakingMode[/b],1.0);

 

You may need to put it somewhere in

.\Ka-50\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\device_init.lua

 

Okai, enough digging in LUA for now.

You're on your own. :)
