Script Field in TB-Connected Buldozer

[mondkalb 1087]

Heya,

 

I stumbled across this command buldozer_LoadNewRoads and was wondering how to actually run this in Buldozer when connected to Terrain Builder. There was no console available or any interface for script input. Using the Dev-Build executeables as Buldozer didn't enable the internal debug console as well (RscDisplayDebug). You used to be able to use the Cheat1 + C hotkey to bring up the internal debug console, but that's no longer working (for me).

So I did quick and dirty config trick. I took the core configs on P:\ drive and modified the F1 menu that appears in BZ when connected to TB.

How to:

• Unpack P:\dta\bin.pbo or debin the config.bin in P:\bin
• Open P:\bin\config.cpp
• Find "RscDisplayOptions"
• Find "class Controls"

  class Controls
  {

   

• Go add this into a new line under the open squiggly-brace:
   

  class G_Expression: RscControlsGroup
  {
  	x = "SafezoneX+0.1";
  	y = "SafezoneY+0.055";
  	w = "SafezoneW-0.2";
  	h = 0.23;
  	class VScrollbar
  	{
  		color[] = {0,0,0,0};
  		width = 0.001;
  		autoScrollSpeed = -1;
  		autoScrollDelay = 5;
  		autoScrollRewind = 0;
  	};
  	class HScrollbar
  	{
  		color[] = {0,0,0,0};
  		height = 0.001;
  	};
  	class ScrollBar: ScrollBar{};
  	class Controls
  	{
  		class TextExpression: RscText
  		{
  			x = 0.01;
  			y = 0;
  			w = 0.2;
  			h = 0.03;
  			sizeEx = 0.027;
  			text = "$STR_UI_DEBUG_EXPRESSION";
  		};
  		class ValueExpression: RscEdit
  		{
  			idc = 101;
  			style = 16;
  			x = 0.018;
  			y = 0.03;
  			w = "SafezoneW-1+0.76";
  			h = 0.16;
  			sizeEx = 0.027;
  			colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,1};
  			colorSelection[] = {0,0.4,0,1};
  			autocomplete = "scripting";
  		};
  		class B_Apply: RscButton
  		{
  			idc = 102;
  			x = "0.018+0.1";
  			y = 0.195;
  			w = "SafezoneW-1+0.76-0.1";
  			h = 0.03;
  			sizeEx = 0.027;
  			text = "$STR_UI_DEBUG_BUT_APPLY";
  			default = 0;
  			action = "call compile ctrlText ((findDisplay 3) displayCtrl 101)";
  		};
  	};
  };

   

• Save it and run BZ again.
• Receive this:
  

 

Maybe this helps one or the other, and maybe this could become a regular thing from the tools side, as this core-config hacking means you'll have to update this every time a new config.bin is placed in P:\bin, which is probably every buldozer.exe update.

Cheers.

Maybe we can get @lappihuan to put this in his 

?
