Script for 3dsmax2008+ to change the HUD/MDF's position and size (FC2)

Question: are you able to draw whatever u like on the mfds and hud? Waypoints, targets etc? I'm really interested, if there is such a possibility I'd like to implement some stuff

try to add some cockpit glass with texture so we can have some real reflexions inside the cockpit.

Very interesting thread, only if you guys knew the things we could do.

No, I can't. This features located deep in the dll's (cockpitbase.dll as I think). The cmd-models do not contains any info about the mfds and hud - only placeholders. It's more difficult to parse binary dll-file than to parse binary data-file.

perhaps it would be possible to inject a replacement dll but likely starforce would not permit running the game then

Sorry, I was using 3dmax2007, it was my fault, now it works:I hope that we can change position of kurs and dist plaskha, it will be perfect:Only a question:with this metod, if posible in the future to modificate lights and hear blur of the aircraft?lomac uses effect.dll for that and I don´t know if aircraft.cmd has that posibility

This issue is likely to occurred due to the fact that the maxscript works with the current system units of the current scene. In the CMD 1.0 unit = 1.0 meter. So if your system units are set to something like inches - the scale of the loaded objects may be incorrect

Nah its just due to the model pit being rather big so i had to scale the hud components to about triple its size so the second part of the hud its out of bounds so to say.

May be, but i think that starforce don't check a dll's for integrity, that don't contains an associated with protection system function's. The experiments will require a lot of free time, which I don't have. So, if anyone tell - what's the function and what's the dll are really interesting for us - it will be really helpfull

 

Which cockpit? May be i will add it, when i will have enough free time again:)

 

I don't know) even more - i don't know how it works, i'm not a Copperfield :D

I guess, just adding such a replacement dll (and therefor digging up all the exported functions) might actually be some breach of their IP, if that's so we shouldn't even try it.

If we ask them if it's ok we replace some dll, that might still not be so easy if the function parameters are of ED classes etc, having to reverse engineer that hmm..Then finding the right place where to actually do the drawing/painting .....:P........not so easy ^^

Anyway, Im off for a week. Going to russia to drink Vodka ^^

any update for dist and kurs plashka?

Thank you very much!!!!:thumbup: Now i edit Fuel-l and Fuel-r!!!

Hi all, just a query. I have been successful in using this script to bring the HUD and MFD into my custom cockpit, however I don't fully understand how to go about getting the mirrors working. I see people mentioning the glass method, and it has something to do with the -glass.lom file, however I can't find any info on how to do this. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it. Here are a few shots of my pit so far, BAE Hawk mk 127, however some mirrors

would be really nice. I am about 80% complete, just finishing textures and maybe try add an EHSI and EADI on the spare mfd screens.

Thanks.

any update for kabina-a-10.cmd?

To get the Glass method working you would have to edit the originalPit.lom file using a hex editor to remove some geometry that does not have textures assigned to it.You would need to assign materials id's to the specific geometry so that i can be removed from the file together with the other texture assigned geo. Then rename your pit model file to -GLASS.lom so that it would be displayed over the blank pit you made and mirrors can be moved about.

It takes quite a bit of work to get done. but if you want mirrors its the only way to go.

Afraid i cant help you with that part sadly as i dont have the time or the will to learn how.

thank you very much!!!

I have a question - how can I get rid of this blue square which overlays HUD indication:

http://s018.radikal.ru/i521/1208/f1/af999e097ba3t.jpg' alt='af999e097ba3t.jpg'>

This is Kabina-A-10.cmd, ILS-PLASHKA & ILS-PLASHKA-2 shapes.

I was able to remove the materials parameter for other objects, but not for this...

Can anyone help me?

Morkva i think the blue shape its from your lom file.......?? Test it only with kabina-a-10.cmd....without your glass.lom file.....hmmm??

Nope. This is Kabina-A-10.cmd loaded only for test purposes.

Update:

Problem fixed. Just need to HEX some bytes...:smartass:

P.S. It is a pity what the script does not support most of the indicators in this cockpit.:cry:

Good work.....:thumbup:
