Hello!

I hope it's the right place to ask, but I've got a problem triggering an action from a new checkbox. Maybe someone can help?

Here the situation:

To toggle SpeechRecognition on/off I created a new checkbox with the MenuEditor.
Located above the PageDefaultHud_Feedback_BottomBar_ToggleAdvancedCk (NewUI)
It's showing ingame and I can click it.

The coressponding Lines in Page Default Hud.ini look like this:

[G0A I278]
Name=ToggleSpeechRecCk
Type=1033;Check box
ItemID=0xA1E0001

In Page Default Hud.py I added the these lines (the ... arent' there )

from SpeechRecognition import ToggleSpeechRecognitionOnOff

...

def PageDefaultHud_Feedback_BottomBar_ToggleSpeechRecCk_Clicked():
    ToggleSpeechRecognitionOnOff()

...

def InitializeScript():

....

PageDefaultHud_Feedback_BottomBar_ToggleSpeechRecCk.Clicked += PageDefaultHud_Feedback_BottomBar_ToggleSpeechRecCk_Clicked

...

def UnloadScript():

...

PageDefaultHud_Feedback_BottomBar_ToggleSpeechRecCk.Clicked -= PageDefaultHud_Feedback_BottomBar_ToggleSpeechRecCk_Clicked

Now I' getting namespace errors:

So what went wrong importing Speech Recognition.py???

Called from Speech Recognition.py the command is working like expected!

What's the minimum of code needed for a new button like this? What did I miss?

What would be needed if I wan't to add a new group?

Thanks in advance!

If SpeechRecognition hasn't been 'opened' yet then it isn't initialized/valid. You must initialize it first either by opening it or using the MakeSureIsLoaded function of the ScriptManager.

Hello! I delve into the Goblin editor. I am trying to make changes to the object, for example in the Deck Gun. I can not understand how all the same to edit objects (Deck gun) Goblin in the editor? Like the editor works for me. I configure it as mentioned in earlier posts. Loading the main image - Submarin.GR2, then merge, - further file from Object- Gun- ... sim. Well, and then how ...? Gun rotates all. Further, it is impossible to change anything in detail. It may be necessary detail for its changes in export Max3D? Thank you!

oh my god, this is awesome!!!!!
I never knew how to use the mission editor!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some new Source Code for NWN2 was released yesterday.
It includes Source Code concerning GR2 files.
Incase your nterested here's the link.
http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums...forum=119&sp=0

Also.
There is an exporter for EVE that exports to obj file format.
On testing it only the first mesh is exported.
However it does come with the Source Code.
Here's the link
http://dl.eve-files.com/media/0801/evegr2toobj.2.zip
You may need to replace the older granny2.dll with the one in the SH5 folder.
Or error messages about wrong version popup.

Ok, I have been trying to create a new Page into the editor with not much luck, and need some advice.

I have created a Copy basically of the TDC page and Called it Page TDC2 in the editor as a test.
This creates the relevant ini page in the Pages Folder (Page TDC2.ini). Ok.

I then Create a new script called Page TDC2.py
And edit it like the following : (My tabs are not showing up in the scripts when I paste them into forum)

def InitializeScript():
pass
def StartGame():
pass
def EndGame():
pass
def UnloadScript():
pass

Now as I want the Periscope to bring this page up in the game I edit the Page attack periscope.py file like this:

#Page attack periscope.py
from menu import *
def InitializeScript():
Menu.PageActivated += Menu_PageActivated
Menu.PageDeactivated += Menu_PageDeactivated
def StartGame():
pass
def Menu_PageActivated( page ):
if page == Pageattackperiscope:
from PageTDC2 import PageTDC2
PageTDC2.Visible = True
def Menu_PageDeactivated( page ):
if page == Pageattackperiscope:
from PageTDC2 import PageTDC2
PageTDC2.Visible = False
def UnloadScript():
Menu.PageActivated -= Menu_PageActivated
Menu.PageDeactivated -= Menu_PageDeactivated
def EndGame():
pass

These are placed into the correct folders and the game is launched.
Game loads ok, but when I activate the periscope the game freezes with the following script error.



Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've no scripting experience but this appears to be the method as shown earlier in this thread.
The no module named TDC2 is baffling me, how do you create a module?

[Woodybcn]

Please, I've been sailing a few days on SH5 but I haven't heard any song from the radio because I don't know how it works! Please, let me know what button I must press.

Thank you.

I see what you're trying to do and it won't work. The C++ code only allows dials on pages that already had dials on them. Sure you can add a dial to Page Default Hud but when you try to tie it to the the dial in the file dials.cfg it won't work. The game will not update the dial. It will be just a static bitmap. If you want to do TDC stuff then you have to keep the dials on PageTDC or use another page that already has dials on them.

Hey DarkWraith, given what you've seen so far, what do you think the prospect of passing sim data to the AI scripts is? The menu stuff seemingly has all the depth, course, etc, info. There are python files that look to be an interface to the AI scripting in scripts folder. If that were possible, many cool things could be done.
