Server Sided Addon - Dialogs possibility?

[t0by2k1 10]

Hey guys,

Is it possible to store dialogs on a PBO and stream to the clients? For all other I use BIS_fnc_MP, it works for a lot of stuff, but I really want to use nice looking dialogs but I dont want it implement in every missionfile nor as client addon.

I hope there exist a way, if you know it - please let me know! :-)

Cheers!

dialogs are a config, these are loaded before preinit, so there will be no way to inject these onto the client, you will need to make an addon for the clients

you could abuse an existing dialog from BI maybe and adjust the look via the scripting commands

not sure if you can manipulate it enough for your desired purpose though

;2670782']you could abuse an existing dialog from BI maybe and adjust the look via the scripting commands

e.g. class RscDisplayCommon which inherits from class RscGUIEditor

it has many different controls defined

createDialog "RscDisplayCommon";
disableSerialization;
_ctrl = (findDisplay 999) displayCtrl 1001;
_ctrlb = (findDisplay 999) displayCtrl 1000;
_button = (findDisplay 999) displayCtrl 1600;
_ctrl ctrlSetPosition [0.4,0.4,0.2,0.2];
_ctrl ctrlSetBackgroundColor [0,1,0,1];
_ctrl ctrlsetText "test";
_ctrlb ctrlSetPosition [0,0,1,1];
_ctrlb ctrlSetBackgroundColor [1,0,0,1];
_button ctrlSetPosition [0.1,0.8,0.2,0.1];
_button buttonSetAction "closeDialog 1600";
_button ctrlsetText "close";
_ctrl ctrlCommit 0;
_ctrlb ctrlCommit 0;
_button ctrlCommit 0;

Thanks a lot! I will take a look at it!

Edit:

Found this: http://dbmst.blogspot.de/2013/05/arma-configfile-display-idd-list.html

So you can use the Dialog RscDisplayWelcome and set you content pretty nice with structuredText! :-)

e.g.

A3S_fnc_OpenA3SDialog = { 
createDialog "RscDisplayWelcome";
disableSerialization;
// dialog modification
};
publicVariable "A3S_fnc_OpenA3SDialog";
[[],"A3S_fnc_OpenA3SDialog",_oPlayer,true] spawn BIS_fnc_mp;
