Broken cTab - THREAD UPDATED WITH FIX

[Rich_R 1087]

The latest update, and I think more specifically the addition of BIS_fnc_mapGridSize, has broken the awesome cTab. When starting the game and mission the following error appears

 

 

It appears to work fine in-game

 

When I peek under the hood this is the part of the config the error is referencing

 

class RscTitles
{
	titles[] = {};
	class cTab_mapSize_dsp
	{
		idd = 13673;
		onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['cTab_mapSize_dsp',_this select 0]";
		fadein = 0;
		fadeout = 0;
		duration = 1e+011;
		controlsBackground[] = {};
		objects[] = {};
		class controls
		{
			class mapSize: cTab_RscMapControl
			{
				idc = 1110;
				type = 100;
				x = "safeZoneXAbs + safeZoneWAbs";
				y = "safeZoneY + safeZoneH";
				w = 0.01;
				h = 10;
				scaleMin = 0.001;
				scaleDefault = 0.001;
				maxSatelliteAlpha = 0;
				ptsPerSquareSea = 10000;
				ptsPerSquareTxt = 10000;
				ptsPerSquareCLn = 10000;
				ptsPerSquareExp = 10000;
				ptsPerSquareCost = 10000;
				ptsPerSquareFor = 10000;
				ptsPerSquareForEdge = 10000;
				ptsPerSquareRoad = 10000;
				ptsPerSquareObj = 10000;
			};
		};
	};

Anyone have an idea how the above needs to be changed to meet these standards?

 

I'm going to reach out to the authors stated in (at least my version) of cTab and see if a) they have an idea and b) if someone can suggest a fix its okay to release an updated version.

 

Thanks everyone!

cTab must be updated by its author

Thanks Dedmen

 

Ive sent emails to two of the mods authorrs to ask for permission or for them to do it.

 

We’ll see!

Just for those also interested; added the error and apparent fix to the mods official gitub. However, it looks rather inactive and I haven't heard back from the mod's creators.

This is awesome, I'll fix mine, but please clarify which file this is about (where did you add the "widthRailWay = 4;" lines)

ctab.pbo\config.cpp ?

Since there's also the bamse ctab fix it's worth thinking about uploading a fixed pbo here by yourself.

[Rich_R 1087]

The ‘suggested’ fix applies to the config.cpp. Apologies if this wasn’t mentioned on the CTab  github comment linked above.

 

Im not sure how to do a ‘fix’ addon. Always interested to learn though!

class CfgPatches {
    class cTabFix {
        units[] = {};
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredVersion = 1.90;
        author[] = {"Dedmen"};
        requiredAddon[] = {"cTab"};
    };
};

class cTab_RscMapControl {
    widthRailWay = 1;
};

The fix explained in the issue report is actually very inefficient. This one is way better.
I'm trying to make a pull request to the cTab repository (that won't get merged anyway but why now eh?) but Github is bugging around.

 

You can get a build of the patch here: https://github.com/Riouken/cTab/files/2982658/cTabFix.zip (https://github.com/Riouken/cTab/issues/164)

Hi,

 

I have recently got back into Arma and I always LOVED using cTab. This error is driving me nuts, so I downloaded the "fix" but where exactly, or how exactly do I install it ? It's a little vague in this thread , or Im just inept. 

 

Thank you in advance for any help.
