Making a cockpit

xtrapoint · Post by **xtrapoint** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 9:49 pm

I've made this cockpit file that i want to be a mix between skypit and playroom specifically the enemies vs friends bar from playground and all the rest from skypit. Every time I try to test it the 3.0 version shuts down on me! (very aggravating) I'm guessing that there's something wrong with the way i pieced together the codes. Someone tell me what I've done wrong? Or better yet if someone wouldn't mind helping me make this CTF-special cockpit (a mixture of essential remix 3.6 and the friends vs enemies bar I would appreciate it

Could you please post the XML file? Perhaps just using the bbcode Code tags?

Use 0.4, specially if you are making a cockpit, as 0.3 is unstable and out of date.

Nope, no 0.4 for Mac, yet. It's looking like Mac users might have to wait for the official stable (it's only in alpha still), though one would hope not. I mean, who's going to test it before then?

Lies! <-- even though it's not that easy to find

About the cockpit, have you got 2 lines on top which look like those?:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE Resource SYSTEM "AATeam/cockpit-0.3.1-c.dtd">

It's what xml needs to get loaded properly. Copy-pasting those above the stuff you posted there should work if you don't have those.

Phytotron · Post by **Phytotron** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 1:16 am

News to me, and not because it's buried. Because Z-Man said there wasn't one. Eh?

Also, there haven't been any snapshots since that first one.

Also, please don't link directly to an active download page. And don't shout "lies!" about something like that. FFS.

Website · Post by **Z-Man** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 6:39 am

I said no 0.4 snapshots exist? I'm pretty sure I only said no current ones exist and that I can't build them. Err. I may have forgotten to point you to those that do exist, so my bad either way. Oops.

I guess that's what it was. I definitely remember you saying you couldn't build them. But I can't even find the thread where you first introduced 0.4.

Anyway, correction for me to make....

Also if I might add a suggestion, could you make the map zoom-able? What I mean is when you defend a flag or zone it'd be helpful if you could have a map that can focus on the area around the flag to identify holes and such. I suggest something like a console option like "hud_map_zoom <x -coordinate> <y-coordinate> <magnitude of zoom> " or something

I got one too:
While 0.4 is in alpha and 0.3 is almost unplayable on my PC (I have yet to look at it, probably just some configs) is there any way to incorporate a map into 0.2?

compguygene · Post by **compguygene** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 3:23 pm

The changes that allow the mini-map to exist cannot be easily backported to .2.x. It was a complete re-design of how things work. This has been asked many times before. Although the changes in what is .4 may appear to be only cosmetic, many of them are changes in the code to make things better that just cannot be easily backported and therefore won't be.

Not only it cant be backported to 0.2, even if it was possible, it would never be accepted by the dev team. The 0.2 version of arma is stable, meaning that no new features are added, only changes allowed are bug fixes and improvements of already existing features.

I seem to recall it was originally written for 0.2 but wasn't accepted in the 0.2 branch, and got redesigned for 0.3. Someone please tell me I'm not on crack.... Anyway, if I'm right, then somewhere there's a patch you can apply to 0.2 and build a version with the map. It's not nearly as featureful as the 0.4 version, but then that's why the redesign happened, so the map would be so much better.
