Can't seem to export ABRIS and Shkval in BS2

[Froglips]

Exactly the same monitor set-up.

Exactly the same Monitor options.lua

I have tried full screen, windowed, every possible resolution from 1920 x 1200 to 2944 x 2280.

 

I cannot get the ABRIS or Shkval to appear anywhere outside of their places on the cockpit.

 

Suggestions?

 

Hmmm, have to run windowed to export? Yea, it works. Frame rates are nothing to write home about in windowed mode.

I read that the name of them has changed to look here. I'm sure one of the default screen scripts has it detailed.

Here is my setup works great

windowed mode required

This is a over/ under setup total res 1920x2160

Helios works in single player. No luck in multi player yet. Probably going to have to wait for Gadroc to figure it out.

 

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('Airdogs Pit');
Description = 'AirdogsPit'
Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = 1920;
         height = 1080;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 1.77777777777778;
    }
}
Shkval =
{
    x = 575;
    y = 1152;
    width = 930;
    height = 345;
}
ABRIS =
{
    x = 1675;
    y = 1461;
    width = 754;
    height = 495;
}
UIMainView = Viewports.Center

in the install files of the complete bs version (not the patch)

 

there is no more shkval and abris lines but LEFT_MFCD = and RIGHT_MFCD = lines...

 

didn't tested it personnaly as I still haven't activated neither bought.

[Froglips]

Hmmm, actually either name set LEFT_MFCD or SHKVAL, RIGHT_MFCD or ABRIS will work. Just won't work on full screen. I was getting better framerates with BS1 and SoftTH v2.07.

 

I haven't played A-10C since the 1.09 update that messed up Helios. I thought I remembered that you could export MFDs in full screen mode.

Airdog,

 

I added UIMainView = Viewports.Center to my monitor config. Now BS2 won't boot. What is this line supposed to do?

 

_  = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('Airdogs Pit');
Description = 'AirdogsPit'
Viewports =
{
    Center =
    {
         x = 0;
         y = 0;
         width = 1920;
         height = 1080;
         viewDx = 0;
         viewDy = 0;
         aspect = 1.77777777777778;
    }
}
Shkval =
{
    x = 575;
    y = 1152;
    width = 930;
    height = 345;
}
ABRIS =
{
    x = 1675;
    y = 1461;
    width = 754;
    height = 495;
}
UIMainView = Viewports.Center

some questions :

 

is it the options.lua in mission editor/data/script the good one ?

 

do you have this problem or a soluce : no way to sse my mouse cursor over BS2 window...

 

no way to switch from full screen to windowed...

[airdog]

the Uimainview line forces windows like the multiplayer window to one screen so it doesnt span all the other screens.

Not sure why it would crash your game

Yea. Seemed odd to me too. Maybe a SoftTH thing. I will try it without SoftTH.

I don't think so Frog. The options.lua in that folder doesn't get updated with any changes I make.

[GregP]

Froglips, if all you want to export is the ABRIS and Shkval, I'd recommend using SoftTH alone. That's what I'm doing, exporting them to 2 7" USB monitors, and it works just fine, pretty much exactly analogous to A-10C (I just copied my SoftTH config file and multimonitor file over, modified the options.lua in C:\Users\Greg\My Documents\Saved Games\DCS BS2\Config, and everything just worked).

 

BTW, that UIMainView line only actually does what it's supposed to for multimonitor setups that run via Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround -- doesn't do anything under SoftTH, at least in my experience. So, if it's crashing your game, I'd just take it out altogether--you won't be losing anything.

I have two monitors side by side, (2 1920x1080's) here is my setup, waiting for HELIOS to get fixed, but this makes a world of difference in seeing targets:

 

 
_ = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('Nick');
Description = 'Nick Pit'
Viewports =
{
Center =
{
x = 0;
y = 0;
width = 1920;
height = 1080;
viewDx = 0;
viewDy = 0;
aspect = 1.77777777777778;
}
}
Shkval =
{
x = 1944;
y = 30;
width = 930;
height = 645;
}
ABRIS =
{
x = 3070;
y = 30;
width = 754;
height = 954;
}

UIMainView = Viewports.Center

[Froglips]

GregP,

Which version of SoftTH are you running? 2.05, 2.06, or 2.07?

 

I have four monitors, a 26" 1920 x 1200 camera view, a 21.5" Helios, and two USB monitors, a 10.1" FOR THE Shkval and a 9" for the Abris.

 

Post your SoftTH config, and monitor.lua so I can see you set up. I just copied over my A-10C set-up and poof no go.

 

I am going to reload BS2 and start from scratch. Something has gotten porked I think.

[Froglips]

Ranger79,

Nothing wrong with Helios. I am running it (or was before I porked my setup). What are you having trouble with?

[MTFDarkEagle]

I copied my coordinates straight from BS1, and the config/softth straight from A-10C and it worked first time.

[GregP]

GregP,
