"Error loading control" in Dialog

VictorFarbau · January 13, 2007

Weird thing while creating some quick configuration dialog for my current VFFPSS project. I need some text edit fields in there as well.

Problem is, they seem to work correctly; the dialog displays ok and I can edit, select, delete and do all the fancy stuff with them.

However, the RPT file contains errors; furthermore they can't be addressed by "ctrlSetText" or "ctrlText" which is likely due to the same error.

The rpt file contains this:

Error loading control <long path>\ArmA 2\missions\VFFPSS.Chernarus\description.ext/fpssdialog/loFPSval/
Error loading control <long path>\ArmA 2\missions\VFFPSS.Chernarus\description.ext/fpssdialog/hiFPSval/

Error loading control <long path>\ArmA 2\missions\VFFPSS.Chernarus\description.ext/fpssdialog/loDistval/

Error loading control <long path>\ArmA 2\missions\VFFPSS.Chernarus\description.ext/fpssdialog/hiDistval/

All of these fields are edit controls. All the rest of the dialog works fine. This is what the base class of my edit field looks like:

class commonE {
type = CT_EDIT;

font = FontM;

sizeEx = 0.04;

style = ST_MULTI;

colorText[] = white;

colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,0};

colorSelection[] = {0,1,0,0.7};

autocomplete = false;

text = "";

};

And here's one of the the inheriting controls (they all look the same):

class loFPSval: commonE {
idc = minFPS;

x = dspx + 0.4; y = dspy + (theight * 1.5);

w = 0.1; h = theight;

};

All names are defined properly, all fields seem to be there. I can't see what's wrong. Maybe you can? :)

Cheers,

VictorFarbau

Here's the "effective"[1] RscEdit class:

class RscEdit {
access = 0;
type = 2;
h = 0.04;
colorBackground[] = { 0, 0, 0, 1 };
colorText[] = { 0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1 };
colorSelection[] = { 0.543, 0.5742, 0.4102, 1 };
autocomplete = "";
text = "";
size = 0.2;
style = 0x00 + 0x40;
font = "Zeppelin32";
sizeEx = 0.03921;
};

HTH

[1] i.e. not taken from a config but dumped from the running game

VictorFarbau · January 13, 2007

Thanks Worldeater, no success there. In the end I just copied and pasted the qouted base classe into my config file - same errors occur. For some reason these fields are there and useable but something is wrong and I can't access them either.

i0n0s · December 15, 2007

Can you give as the definitions of dspx, dspy, theight?

VictorFarbau · January 13, 2007

Sure thing. Here it comes. I just dump the complete config since it may be easier to see the whole thing than to request bits and pieces...

Edit: sad thing is, as mentioned, that my edit fields display perfectly fine and are fully useable. Just this stupid error galore and the inability to access the fields gives me a headache. Can't seem to be able to resolve this.

Thanks for your time,

VictorFarbau

Don't know if it might help but here's how i use my edit controls:

class RscEdit {
type = 2;
style = 0x00 + 0x40;
font = "Zeppelin32";
sizeEx = 0.03921;
colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 1};
colorText[] = {0.5, 0.5, 0.95, 1};
colorSelection[] = {0.543, 0.5742, 0.4102, 1.0};
};

class ConsoleEdit: RscEdit {
idc = 10003;
x = 0.03;
y = 0.265;
w = 0.715;
h = 0.09804;
linespacing = 0;
text = "";
autocomplete = "scripting";
};

The referenced name is case sensitive when used

Check minFPS, maxFPS, minDist and maxDist.

VictorFarbau · January 13, 2007

Haha awesome :D There's always somebody with an eye for hidden things. Yes indeed it was that case sensitive constants who screwed my dialog!

I should have C&P'ed the definitions as usual, I just had my 5 minutes where I typed things twice - dang :eek:

Thanks a lot, great help here! Time to finish that thing now.

Cheers,

VictorFarbau

Worldeater · January 23, 2009

Well, after I preprocessed your config with mcpp they weren't that hidden anymore... ;)

VictorFarbau · January 13, 2007

after I preprocessed your config with mcpp

You are aware that this is cheating and not allowed in Arma, aren't you? Only notepad is allowed :)
