Topic: OP+ 3.3 Corrections Thread

[FireSoul]

I know you already fixed this for 3.4, but the F-BCH and F-DW ships do not have models.siz entry.

It is quite funny seing the F-DW larger than an F-NCA 

You already posted for the Fed BCHs .. stop it!

Any chance we could get a shortcut to the uninstaller on the start menu for the next version? I have a tendency to forget to check the control panel add/remove programs dialog to see if its installed, it helps me to have that reminder on the start menu. (I know, I know - memory like a sieve...)

Happy?

PS. It also gave me a place to create shortcuts to the Models Credits readme and a URL link to the main website. Also, people can simply not install that component if they don't want it.

Way cool!    (Yes, happy...)

You be gettin fancy with NSIS! ("Modern UI") - Gotta figure that one out yet myself...

Now then, could you add a simple way for us to detect the OP+ version from an NSIS script? The current GW3 installer I'm working with looks for the opplus folder before installing, but does not check for the version (I was too lazy to go by file dates or size etc...)

i.e. - my current OP+ detection in my install section:

Code: [Select]


IfFileExists "$INSTDIR\opplus\*.*" Opplus_installed Opplus_not_installed

Opplus_installed:
; do GW3 installation here
Goto Finished_install

Opplus_not_installed:
MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP "OP+ not found! GW3 v1 requires OP+3.3, please install it first. (GW3 v1 not installed.)" IDOK Finished_install

Finished_install:

Perhaps if you installed a "version.ini" in the opplus folder or just a file with the OP+ version as its title? Or perhaps you have a suggestion for how to detect the OP+ version without adding anything to your install.
A version.ini file would make it nice and easy though through use of the NSIS "ReadINIStr" function.

Thanks again for the optional shortcuts!

I have this regkey set.. ... for the uninstall to show up properly in controlpanel's add/remove programs:

  HKLM "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\opplus" "DisplayName"
      "OP+ Shiplist 3.3 (remove only)"

IF you don't have that exactly, you don't have 3.3 installed.


Edit: I'm adding a version regkey for 3.4, what the heckl. It's easy. However, the above will still apply for 3.3.

[Bonk]

Duh, I forgot the registry key... good idea, I'll play with that for detecting the presence and version of OP+ tonight.

edit: Yup, that works well, I used a few lines like so:

Code: [Select]

...
Var opplus_regkey

Section "Install"

ReadRegStr $opplus_regkey HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\opplus" "DisplayName"
StrCmp $opplus_regkey "OP+ Shiplist 3.3 (remove only)" Opplus_installed Opplus_not_installed
...

I'll keep an eye out for the version regkey in 3.4.

I'm in the review/testing phase, so it's just a matter of time until a release. I've improved my testing programs/scripts to check each and every weapon used, as well as each arc, and each reload number.. ... as well as checking which weapons use arcs and which have reloads defined in the 3rd field..

.. as well as checking each ship to have a valid UI defined (ie: current Z-XCB problem), to checking each UI to see if the weapons placed actually go to a *VISIBLE* mountpoint.


Let me tell you, it helps to take out the human error out of the loop. I am in fact about to install a freshly-made installer right now, to run my models tester on it. I made a version of it that does all the models for all races, so that I don't have to run it for each race (which is also useful).

.. After that I will check and see if there are any textures that are > than 8-bit and will reduce them at need. I also need to check the no-models installer..

.. etc...etc.. soon, my friends, soon!

Firesoul - sorry if this is a little late:  have you looked at te different Klink F5/F5W's?  I think on many of them , the forward phasers firing arcs are flip flopped.  so the right phaser has a left side firing arc and the left phaser has a right side firing arc.

I guess I could be wrong and they are supposed to be that way....but it's counter intuitive (ie - doesn't look right)

You're quite right that it doesn't look right, but the arcs are actualyl correct. The arcs "LSRF" and "RSLF" are easter egg arcs, added in patch 2.5.4.10. They are not displaying the correct arcs in the UI. The other easter egg arcs are also wrong.
