[Teancum]

I'm now almost done with the SP menus. The last solid addition was the ability for the player to choose 1 of 8 crosshairs. (I thought there were 9, and I kept setting mine to 9, thinking it'd be a new one. Silly me!) Here's the features I was able to add:

 

-Melee available whenever a mission goes to the weapon select screen (gets added there)

-Debug Melee style available under advanced (resets, unless you use the command /writeconfig "jaconfig.cfg")

-3 different crosshair sizes -- small, medium, large

-8 different crosshairs to choose from

-Ability to have FULL subtitles, not just in cutscenes

-Dismemberment (from OJP 0.0.4) --(resets, unless you use the command /writeconfig "jaconfig.cfg")

-Wireframe mode

-Ability to pick up fallen enemy's sabers -- (resets, unless you use the command /writeconfig "jaconfig.cfg")

-5 different game speeds (resets on each level load, disclaimer added at bottom of menu)

-5 different saber speeds (resets each time game is launched, timescale trumps this)

-Ability to choose frequency of saber locking

-Quit Game option added to mission failure menu

-Corpse removal time settings (never, 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min)

-Cvar to show debug health meters above all characters

-Draw framerate option

-New Electrobinoculars bind (under Other, now Misc/New Binds)

 

I'm going to try to make a 'write settings to config file' button, using exec cfgupdate.cfg (which contains the command, writeconfig jaconfig.cfg) It wrote some of the cvars to jaconfig.cfg by using it in the console -- I'll get back to you

 

*edit* I found that the best way to do this is have the user copy/paste the new cvar settings into their jaconfig.cfg. When each advanced option it changed, it will write the new value of the cvar into jaconfig.cfg. If the values are not in jaconfig.cfg already, it will not write them. But, this solution DOES work.

 

What I was NOT able to do:

-Some Binds. They would never refresh on the menus, (continual ???) so I'm assuming it's handled in the code. So the following didn't make it in (so far):

-Melee bind

-Screenshot bind

-'Cleanshot' (no 2d or guns drawn) bind - (config file of mine)

 

These binds are ready to go, I have them all in the control menus, but are currently NOT in the pk3 ATM. I'm thinking about adding the Draw FPS, crosshair size, and crosshair choice to the MP menus--what do you all think?

 

 

I'm really quite excited about all that I got in. It really helped me to learn a LOT about the menu system.

 

Anyways, I hate to clutter up the board. I just wanted to keep everyone up-to-date, and see if anyone knew about the new binds bug. (I know people can bind things manually, but I prefer the menus)
