USMC Sniper 0 Posted March 19, 2003 Can you please try to make yourself a bit clearer, for example writing something in your native language and translating it here. Right now I can't make much out of what your trying to say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hudson 0 Posted March 20, 2003 Dialogs ARE possible in addons, we used one for the cluster bomb setup in the F18. There are a couple things you have to do though. Setup the dialogs in a txt file and name it YourFile.hpp. Then any mission you want to use the dialogs on add the code #include <YourAddonName\YourFile.hpp> Â in a description.ext file. This can also be done with materials.hpp and others. Havnt tried resource.hpp but I imagine it works just the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have done some scripts in an addon for: Drone Remote control vehicles Missile caméra & bullet camera And some projects Toadlife gives me the idea of a real arty script, nan, not a marker, you move the "pipe" of the cannon with dialog, and extand the idea to battery missile. Parachute,wing etc... Remote control box for bombs, objects, etc. Radar, satellite A real camera Advanced GPS Enigma machine (and try to code strings with numbers, and when the code is finish, script ICQ in OFP for MP mission) But for the moment it's only scripts, not addon (download & play) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know that most of all quality missions out there have a description.ext file. Its used for alot of things you need in a mission. Sounds, Score, Mission parameters, Respawn, dialogs all need a description.ext file. Its very hard to find a completed quality mission out there without one. I dont see this as any serious drawback to an addon. Anyone can add the required code, its not rocket science   Your not going to find another way to get the popups in your addon. Its either pack a .hpp file with the addon and add 1 line of code to a desc.ext file. Or you can add all the dialog code to every missions description.ext file you  plan on using the popups in. The soultion is a no brainer to me. 1 line of code and a hpp file packed with the addon. Easiest on the addon maker and anyone that wants to use the dialog in their mission.

dinger 1 Posted March 22, 2003 That's beside the point. Believe it or not, every requirement beyond "put in your addons folder" decreases the likelihood that it will be inserted in a mission, and increases the burden the addon maker has in supporting the addon. Yes, it's the only way to do it, and yes, it's not much for an experienced mission editor to do. But most addon freaks are not experienced mission editors.
