Check the workaround in point 2. in this thread how to move the menu: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=88996

 

 

 

 

---------------------------------------------------

Before you ask:

 

No - I don't know how to bring back what was able to do in 1.1.1.1 (and I'm also not amused...)

>>> Drag/Drop and Click-able Radio Communication menu

 

 

BUT....

 

I'm right now working at a AHK script that can interpret mouse gestures (so it will work also on a touch screen).

 

So you only have to chose a starting point where no click-able item is - and simply"draw" 1,2,3,... to send F1,F2,F3.....

 

EDIT:

 

>>> How To:Radio Menu control with Mouse Gestures

 

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

.

A note to the responsibilities at Eagle Dynamics:

Please give the people that designs the interface a bigger monitor (a little bigger in resolution than 1024x768 ... or even better : Give them two! this would be a real Eye-opener for them! ;) ).

...and now I have the opportunity to rep him again for doing it. :D

 

Thanks again, Pete!

Oh dear, poor Emmet Brown crushes his head again...

Interesting time stamp LOL

oh my ...you have to know: its always good to be one month ahead...!

 

Keeps you free for doing things your really want to do and so on...

 

:D

(and also gives you enough time to finish things you left behind:))

 

...

I already thought to edit it after I realised it myself yesterday... but this would mean another Moderator approval for the user-files at the DCS-homepage and so on...

So I leave it as it is - and I bet in one month no one will really notice this any more

 

Edit:

So lets say this is a "open-beta" that will be released in nearly one month . - and the PR-department already used this date...:) See ? nothing a developer can really do about! :D

Hi... I'm not good at this thing, but I've just poked these files.

Of course PeterP knows better, but here's my findings:

 

In ".../Scripts/UI/RadioCommandDialogPanel/" folder,

 

  • CommandMenu.lua
    Line #94 > Text size. I set 22.
    Line #110 > Caption text size. I set 28.
    Line #111 > Caption text colour. "Yellow" isn't bad.
    Line #55 > Menu width. You can adjust "right to left" position of menu by increasing it. I set 350.
     
     
  • CommandDialogsPanel.lua
    Line #160 > Menu window height. It's better increse it to 450 or 500, if you adjust bigger font size in "CommandMenu.lua".

I didn't touch font type, it's OK for me.

 

Thanks.

Does anyone know where to change these setting for text sizes in the latest version?

Cant find these lines in the current version in these files?

To help others out, here is what I did for my 30" Main monitor running at 2560 x 1600, note I did NOT modify the height in the CommandDialogsPanel.lua file as it was not needed:

 

In ".../Scripts/UI/RadioCommandDialogPanel/" folder,

 

CommandMenu.lua

 

Line #44 > menuWidth = 280 (Changed to 500)

Line #84 > textSkin.skinData.states.released[1].text.fontSize = 12; (Changed to 22)

Line #100 > menuCaptionSkin.skinData.states.released[1].text.fontSize = 15; (Changed to 28

 

Line #101 > menuCaptionSkin.skinData.states.released[1].text.color = Color.white() (Changed to yellow)

Workin for me. IIRC, I'm using Fakum's suggestion but think the Line#s may be little different.

I have looked in both LUA fills, and there is no entry like in the old once. The entrys thats in there, with front size and font types I cant alter, DCS wont start up after I have done that

 

Cant you upload the files you have changed ?
