TCP Laser Rangefinder v04

[Solarghost 10]

Hey man, it's not working for me...?

new key in keys folder, I have the .cpp file in the userconfig folder and then in it's own folder called: TCP_RF

other files are in the actual addons folder...

Am I doing something wrong?

[tcp 10]

Are you running CBA?

userconfig will give you an error if its not found, so that's not the problem

What RPT errors do you have, if any?

You have to hit R to turn on the display, try mapping it to a different key if that doesn't work for you.

I'm running CBA, yes... does it have to be the latest one?

No errors, the display just doesn't work im using GDT binocular mod if that would affect it?

Finally got it working lol, instead of using 19 for R, I changed it to 45 for X, and it works now, cheers

[tcp 10]

Carl, should the system figure out the coordinates itself, or should it be done manually? Including elevation?

Alt-R changes mil setting

This really just keeps getting better, if i may suggest a couple of features:-

1. Light on the display, when the laser is active. I know you can tell easily with the range, but it would be nice for a quick check.

2. Option if possible to change the azimuth from mils to degrees, as seen on the compass for quick target reference.

Loving this though m8, definatly something that will be used by me as default.

[tcp 10]

Shadow, doesn't the XMIT light up for you when the laser is active?

Also, with the new test version that I posted above, you can change it to any measurement you want and switch between them. 360 mils would be the same thing as degrees.

[SD_BOB 10]

You are of course correct :o

Well i have nothing else to add or request, this is perfect...

Thankyou dude.

On this line, what do you change to make it degrees?

_optDefMil = [6400,6000,6300,6283]; //mils, azimuth and elevation mil setting, first is default

Cheers

[tcp 10]

_optDefMil = [360];

or to still be able to switch in between

_optDefMil = [360,6400,6000];

[ffs 10]

@tcp

Sweet update!

@Solarghost

_optDefMil = [360,6400,6000,6300,6283]; //mils, azimuth and elevation mil setting, first is default

360 = degrees.

6400 = 1/6400 NATO standard.

6000 = 1/6000 SU standard.

6300 = 1/6300 Swedish standard.

6283 = 1/6283 The "real" trigonometric unit of angular measurement of a circle in use by telescopic sight manufacturers using (stadiametric) rangefinding in reticles.

You can change between them by pressing Alt+R.

Cheers bro!

BTW, obviously, the replace batteries option isn't implemented yet.

I don't think you can add dummy batteries or any new magazine type and still work on the client side only.

Testing release 0.52

http://www.filefront.com/14917007/TCP_RF.pbo

Changelog 0.52

State changes fixed, shuts off when in third person, or moving

Laser turns off automatically

Changelog 0.51

Alt-R changes mil setting

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R forces battery changes, optionally w/o designator active

More responsive

The dummy battery won't pan out since the addon needs to be kept client-side

To Do Next: QRF coordinates with option for automatic or manual calculation. Although I don't know if anyone actually wants to do it manually, or how they would go about doing it.

I found a bug. v0.52

[tcp 10]

I think that's designed behavior.

I can't do anything about default behavior until you turn on the display, nor can I do anything if you have extra batteries. So you can turn on the laser whenever you want, really. I wish the fired eventhandler worked with laser so I could prevent that.

The laser (and display) is supposed to turn off if you go to third person, or move.

Although, I think there was a state check error for switching Mils in 0.52 which will be fix shortly in the next version.

Testing release 0.53

- Firing laser activates display, and battery function

http://www.filefront.com/14919213/TCP_RF.pbo

Carl, how do you think QRF should work. You said you should be able to fill in the coords then hit OK. Does that mean its all done manually. Do you need any information displayed just as current coordinates?

I can use this one fine:

Using 42 which is left shift, it doesn't try reload the weapon and X makes the dude crouch.

So theoretically, using your new version, .53 it should be sweet as.

What does it do when you use R? I seem to be able to turn it on and off fine. Even if you have a extra battery, it will only reload once.

[Solarghost 10]

For some reason it reloads my gun ROFL

[tcp 10]

you mean your designator?

[Solarghost 10]

Ur updated config doesn't work for me.... ALT + R does nothing

Edited November 14, 2009 by Solarghost

[tcp 10]

i tested it, alt + R works, youll have to be more descriptive. if its a bug, then ill try to fix it.

[Solarghost 10]

I'm using that old config I posted and just use H instead

No sure what the issue may have been, could have been user error :p

[tcp 10]

0.51 had a scripting error as i mentioned earlier, that check for the wrong precondition with Alt+R, so that could have been it. It was fixed in 0.52

Also, just to forewarn you. Firing the laser without turning on the RF display first will turn on the RF, but you will have to fire the laser a second time to engage it.

[KeyCat 131]

Nice one, adds to the immersion for sure when lazing targets!

When can we expect the next signed non-beta version?

[tcp 10]

Well, I've think I've filled most of the feature requests. I am working on QRF coordinates passing. However, that requires a dialog, so it may take some time.

I can release the current beta, I don't think it has any bugs. I am going to leave R as the default key, it can be changed in preferences if it causes problems for individuals. I don't want to get in the habit of releasing updates too frequently though.
