Cockpit help

[gawdzilla]

No clue how to do this myself, I'm a coding n00b so.. look:



Simply put, I want a rubber NEEDLE (2.8 default) instead of the rubber BAR. Can anyone give me the simple code to replace it with?

Original cockpit file:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/24m90l

[Word]

Code: Select all

 <!-- rubber meter -->
        <NeedleGauge usetemplate="ng">
            <DataSet>
                <AtomicData field="source" source="player_rubber" />
                <AtomicData field="minimum" source="0" />
                <AtomicData field="maximum" source="cycle_rubber" />
            </DataSet>
            <Position x="-0.48" y="0." />
            <Caption location="bottom">
                <Text value="0xffff33Rubber" />
            </Caption>
        </NeedleGauge>

Thanks for trying but then I get an error + it looks like this...

[Word]

try to download this file and put it in C:\programs\Armagetron Advanced\resource\included\AATeam (it should already be there)

You must define the "ng" WidgetTemplate. Look at the classic cockpit resource that comes with the game.

Code: Select all

	<WidgetTemplate id="ng">
            <Position x="0." y="-0.9" />
            <Size height="0.175" width="0.175" />
            <ShowCurrent value="true" />
            <ShowMaximum value="true" />
            <ShowMinimum value="true" />
            <Foreground>
                <Solid>
                    <Color r="1." g="1." b="1." alpha="1." />
                </Solid>
            </Foreground>
	</WidgetTemplate>

Code: Select all

<NeedleGauge camera="*">
           <DataSet>
               <AtomicData field="source" source="player_speed" />
               <AtomicData field="minimum" source="0" />
               <AtomicData field="maximum" source="max_speed" />
           </DataSet>
           <Position x="-0.165" y="-0.9" />
           <Size height="0.15" width="0.15" />
           <ShowCurrent value="true" />
           <ShowMaximum value="true" />
           <ShowMinimum value="true" />
           
               <Text value="Speed" />
           
           <Foreground>
               <Solid>
                   <Color r="1." g="0." b="0." alpha="1." />
               </Solid>
           </Foreground>
       </NeedleGauge>

That's the example one for speed on the wiki, http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php? ... t_Tutorial, you can just make it a Needlegauge instead of a template if you only want one. Just change the atomicdata source=player_speed to player_rubber and max_speed to cycle_rubber. Change the text value to rubber or just remove it if you don't want a label iirc, might be thinking of something else, haven't used a needle gauge in a while.

Yeah, I don't understand any of this and I keep running into errors, like I said I'm a code n00b. If anyone is kind enough to download the orginal cockpit and put the needle there instead of the meter/bar, then I WILL CHERISH IT FOREVER.

This is what I use:

Code: Select all

		<NeedleGauge>
            <DataSet>
                <AtomicData field="source" source="player_rubber" />
                <AtomicData field="minimum" source="0" />
                <AtomicData field="maximum" source="cycle_rubber" />
            </DataSet>
            <Position x="-0.55" y="-0.9" />
            <Size height="0.15" width="0.15" />
            <ShowCurrent value="true" />
            <ShowMaximum value="true" />
            <ShowMinimum value="true" />
			<Caption location="bottom">
                <Text value="Rubber" />
            </Caption>
            <Foreground>
                 <Gradient orientation="value">
                    <Color r="0." g="1." b="0." alpha="1." at="0." />
                    <Color r="1." g="1." b="0." alpha="1." at="0.5" />
                    <Color r="1." g="0." b="0." alpha="1." at="1.0" />
                </Gradient>
            </Foreground>
        </NeedleGauge>

The color of the needle goes from green to red as rubber gets low. You can mess with the position and size because it's kind of small (0.2.8 style).

If you have 3.0, in the resource you will see wrtlprnft folder and inside is the "classic" rubber meter.

In your settings.cfg, right under where it says map_file i wrote "COCKPIT_FILE wrtlprnft/classic-0.0.1.aacockpit.xml"

Thank you, it finally worked.
