ACE 3 dynamic mission parameters

[Hydrol 1]

Good evening all,

 

Like most people i have become tired of placing ACE3 modules in the editor when making my custom coop missions- Reading the framework documentation on the ACE3 website i am using ACE_SETTINGS in the description.ext but will be moving to using the ACE_SEVER.pbo with a ace\serverconfig.hpp - I will use this without forcing settings (so i can change specific ones dynamically through the lobby)

 

In order to modify the settings from one mission to another (without redoing the code) i want to make certain ace_settings dynamic and change them on my dedicated server through the mission parameters in the lobby

 

Reading the website gives the following example for code in the description.ext:

 

class Params {
    class ace_medical_level { //This needs to match an ace_setting, this one is a "SCALAR"(number)
        title = "Medical Level"; // Name that is shown
        ACE_setting = 1; //Marks param to be read as an ace setting, without this nothing will happen!
        values[] = {1, 2}; //Values that ace_medical_level can be set to
        texts[] =  {"Basic", "Advanced"}; //Text names to show for values (Basic will set level to 1, Advanced will set level to 2)
        default = 2; //Default value used - Value should be in the values[] list
    };
    class ace_repair_addSpareParts { //This ia a "BOOL"
        title = "$STR_ACE_Repair_addSpareParts_name"; //You can use ACE's stringtables
        ACE_setting = 1;
        values[] = {0, 1}; //setting is a BOOL, but values still need to be numbers, so 0 is false, 1 is true
        texts[] =  {"False", "True"};
        default = 1;
    };
};

 

My question is - DOES ANYONE HAVE A FULL LIST OF THE ACE3 CLASS PARAMS? this would save me a lot of time messing about in the editor export section writing down the class name and variable options.

 

Many thanks in advance

You can export them yourself by placing all the modules you want/need in a sp editor mission plus the export settings module. Then you can simply use the ace settings menu to export them to clipboard.

Belbo,

 

Those settings are great for creating the serverconfig.hpp but they don't contain any of the code required for the mission parameters and specifically the class parameter arrays for VALUES [ ] and TEXTS [ ] like in the example below:

 

class ace_medical_level { //This needs to match an ace_setting, this one is a "SCALAR"(number)
        title = "Medical Level"; // Name that is shown
        ACE_setting = 1; //Marks param to be read as an ace setting, without this nothing will happen!
        values[] = {1, 2}; //Values that ace_medical_level can be set to
        texts[] =  {"Basic", "Advanced"}; //Text names to show for values (Basic will set level to 1, Advanced will set level to 2)
        default = 2; //

 

The exported settings only contain the following code:

 

class ace_medical_level {
    value = 1;
    typeName = "SCALAR";
    force = 1;

 

I am trying to see if anyone has already done the work of adding the extra code for title = , values and texts etc so they can be used for mission parameters selection.

Ah, that's what you mean.

I haven't got a full table, you'll probably have to rummage around in every ace_settings.hpp: https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/addons/medical/ACE_Settings.hpp

Belbo,

 

Many thanks. At least I can pick and choose from the ace_settings instead of writing it out from scratch.

Belbo,

 

Finally finished it - couldn't find the correct info in the ace_settings.hpp so finally manged to do it by looking through the export options menu in the editor and finding the classnames and available options through there - then used the exported data to check whether the option was BOOL or SCALAR, finished product below for the settings i wanted to be dynamic. Placed this into the description.ext - i need to test thoroughly though!!

Yeah, you probably won't answer, but.
How did you figured out that you need to add "ACE_setting = 1;"? Does this come from ace itself or CBA? 
I want to do what you did to other mods and scripts, like acex or diwako ragdoll. I tried simply changing "ACE" to "ACEX" but it doesn't work, i have seen other mod that also had this "name_setting = 1;" and allow to change it's cba setting through mission parameters. I can't find anything about it on CBA or ACE wiki either.

This system does not work anymore, hence it doesn't turn up in any documentation. Most mods have changed to or implemented CBA settings system: https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/wiki/CBA-Settings-System
