nope still not working.....

[rscaper1070]

You need to be a little more informative about what's going on on your end. You're missing a step but until you describe what you are doing nobody will be able to help you.

[mralexs]

i've done everything they've said to do to install the HUD for the GenericCP, but, i still have no HUD for it. the Cockpit pof appears though. the HUD is either set to normal HUD or not there at all.

[Cobra]

Oi! Put cockpitmod in the primarylist field.

[mralexs]

Oi! Put cockpitmod in the primarylist field.

do you mean put -mod Cockpitmod in custom flags in features? if that is the case, i already did that.

[Cobra]

Well I thought I had it in my fs2 folder still but I guess I deleted it. In your mod.ini put 'cockpitmod' in the primarylist field.

[rscaper1070]

He says that the cockpit is there it's the hud that isn't. Post your hud gauges table that you are using so we can see if that is where things are going wrong.

[Cobra]

Derp. That's what I get for rushed reading. I feel like I know the solution but it's not coming to me.

[mralexs]

Ok, so you have only tried to use the cockpit and hud in the Myrmidon? Did you try the table in the post I quoted? That has more ships and also a default config for ships that you don't use the cockpit for.


http://www.mediafire.com/file/11btj8ap2xw32mx/hud_gauges.tbl

[mralexs]

no, thats a short section of the config of that tbl you posted earlier.

[mralexs]

some useful info may be that i have no HUD on the recent nightly build.   

[rscaper1070]

Please, download the table that's posted above. If you are using only what you posted the hud isn't going to work for anything other than the Myrmidon. What you posted was just meant to be an example for people making their own tables.

[mralexs]

i already said that i'm using the HUD you posted and it still wont work!

[rscaper1070]

Well, my only guess is that your screen is a different resolution than mine and you are going to have to do what I did and figure it out on your own. The problem is on your end. I suggest that you use the hud calculator that Kolgena wrote to find the basic hud layout for your screen. Then go through and move things around until they are in the right spot.

[mralexs]

i used find and replace to change all the base resolutions to 1280/780...

[mralexs]

some one please help me!

[mralexs]

The HUD won't work in the Generic CP for some reason

[HAZARDLEADER]

Can you or some one upload it to a different site, mega uploads has been taken down by a federal judge

[GODzilla]

I've been trying to get onto the forums for two weeks now, just to tell you this:

You can get rid of the imho ugly reflections on the cockpit-glass by simply erasing

TerranCockpit1-Shine.dds

and you're done.

I have noticed no missing reflections or missing lighting on the cockpit after I erased the file. To be honest - and really, no disrespect meant - I don't know what the file is doing at all. ^^

The best part is that the glass still looks like glass. It's semi-transparent. But the reflections from light-sources that are behind the player ship are GONE for good.
