Anyone know where I can find it? The build it was packaged with is no longer up. :(

Will the offer of a Gmail invite make things go faster? I have 6 left... ;7

I have this hud_gauges file that WMC posted some time ago to increase the number of escort list ships. I haven't tried it yet and don't know if it works or is complete, but it is worth a try.

Code: [Select]

#Main Gauges:
$Resolution: (1024 768)
$Escort List: (865 330) ;Where the escort list goes.
     +Image: escort1
     +Text: Monitoring ;This is incorrect, but how it is in the current build...will be fixed
#End

#Gauges
$Resolution: (1024 768)
$Escort List
      $Header Text: (4 1)
           ;+Text: Monitoring ;This is correct, and how it will be after this build
      $List: (0 13) ;Where the list starts
      $Ship: (0 11) ;An individual entry
            +Image: escort2
      $Last Ship: (0 11) ;Last entry
            +Image: escort3
      $Ship Name: (4 0) ;Where the name goes relative to the entry position
      $Ship Hull: (116 0) ;Ditto for hull %
      $Ship Status: (-11 0) ;Ditto for ship status, aka the D that shows up when a ship is disabled.
#End


Regarding the gmail by the way, today I got an email from Comcast that they are upgrading everyone's email account to 3GB of storage. It looks like everyone is doing this huge capacity thing now as a marketing gimmick, knowing full well that 99% of people will not use up over 50mb. :p

That'll move around the escort list, but to set the number shown you need

To enable an escort list of more than 3 ships, add "$Max Escort Ships:" then the number at the top of hud_gauges.tbl.

hud_gauges support is in CVS. For more info do a search for "hud_gauges", you'll have to look through some pretty big threads.

wonder about adding some words to the wiki?;)
and the fact that it is in cvs means that it is included in all the recent builds, ya?

All recent builds, yeah

Wiki stuff... There's a bunch of info in the threads and I think I posted an easy-to-use process for adding support for more gauges in the priv forum.

I remember the code as a mess except where I figured you'd need to get at to add extra gauges. But it should still be possible to make sense of it if one is fortunate enough to be acquainted with the text-parsing system.
