Title: Revvin quick question about your updated Cougar profile.
Post by: Reschke on July 13, 2002, 11:09:43 PM

First let me say that I like the way you have your file setup. For me it is just a good fit and I am not messing with it.

When I compiled it to download it to the Cougar it gave me an error that something was missing from the Macro file. When I checked it the Bombsight_Calibration and Calibration_Mark were in the .tmj file but the corresponding entires under "Weapon Controls" in the .tmm file were missing.

So here is my question: Was it intentional? If so then no problem but if not here is how I wrote it up for the .tmm.

For .tmj as you had it

Rem  Hat 2 Is set for weapons selection
Rem    
BTN H2U /U
               /M /I Default_View          
                   /O Select_Primary_Weapon  
               /D Bombsight_Calibration

BTN H2D /U
               /M /I  View_Mode_Pan          
                   /O Select_Secondary_Weapon          
               /D /H Calibration_Mark

BTN H2L /I  View_Mode_Snap          
               /O Display_Damage          

BTN H2R /I  View_Mode_External          
               /O Toggle_Zoom          

For .tmm as I wrote it in:

Rem -----------------------------------
Rem           Weapon Controls
Rem -----------------------------------
Fire_Primary_Weapon = f
Fire_Secondary_Weapon = b
Fire_Both = n
Select_Primary_Weapon = \
Select_Secondary_Weapon = BSP
Bombsight_Calibration = u
Calibration_Mark = SHF u
Open_Bomb_Doors = o
Salvo_1 = / . s a l v o SPC 1 ENT
Salvo_2 = / . s a l v o SPC 2 ENT
Salvo_3 = / . s a l v o SPC 3 ENT
Salvo_4 = / . s a l v o SPC 4 ENT

I have not had a chance to check it and see if it works good for me though. So I might be rewriting the weapon controls section for myself later this week. Depending on how the bombsight calibration works with that setup.

Something strange going on here, I'm uploading the new file but it's giving me the old one.

Revv,

I think with the latest patch, you can't use key combos (SHF U) for bomb calibration ... correct ?

Erm not sure I understand the question, I use Y and U the default keys for calibration and they work fine.

I was using the file you did back in April (I think that was it) and it was not allowing me to keep using the S4 and S1 buttons for comms. When I hit those buttons on the Cougar I only got the S4 to work and then it would only show "t" on the screen in the message buffer.

But like I said I have not tried running this updated section although it compiled fine using Foxy the other day.
