Hudshift Size Request

I thought that SW:WT had a widescreen shortcut icon on the desktop, might well use the -dx command to launch dsace or whatever.

Works like charm, only one player had trouble with it (10 players test it so far).
Has anyone suggestion to improve the code?

have a problem look at it and still black borders

Yeah, I made a mistake not doing that automatically. The next version will work better, whenever I can get around to it.

jflp.dll
jflpac.dll

Use one or the other, not both (if you use jflpac, you don’t need to set fovx; indeed, you can’t, that’s the whole point).

maybe you just forgot to delete the ; ?

True.But changed here

<data file=“Data\Interface\hudshift.ini” method=“filereplace” numtimes=“-1” options=“7:2”><dest>[;HUDShift] ;16:9 <</dest>
<source>
[HUDShift] ;16:9 - Activated by FLMM <</data>
but,he does not do it

If you got this line:

[;HUDShift]

and your script looks for

[;HUDShift] ;16:9[/qoute]

it won’t work…

anyway, I don’t see the .dll entries in the dacom.ini…

I did it! I have a new further problem! lol Sorry

Pretty sure that should fix itself after going ingame, logging out and exiting the game. I believe it happens when using the -dx argument, too.

@Terratec: That looks like a widescreen camera problem, rather than a HUDShift problem (especially considering it doesn’t shift those). What are you using for w/s? According to that dacom.ini, it’s not JFLP or DSAce.

This is in the script

and this in dacom.ini

@include FL_Dev.ini

DllPath = .\

etcetc.

w/s? What do you mean by that?

That won’t work. Using numtimes=“-1” means to repeat it over the entire file, so it’ll end up uncommenting all the [HUDShift] sections. You should have added the comment to the original hudshift.ini (matching the earlier script), rather than removing it. And get rid of numtimes.

jflp.dll <<in exe=“” folder<br=“”>jflpac.dll <<in exe=“” folder<=“” blockquote=“”>Again, use one or the other, both isn’t going to help matters. The only difference between them is that ac stands for anticheat, used to prevent fisheye by preventing fovx modifications.

Presumably edited to include the comments you test. Why not just put it all in a zip and attach it?

[Initial SP DLLs]
hudshift.dll

Whilst it can go here, dacom.ini is probably better for this purpose. This is more intended for on-the-fly adjustments, figuring out the best offsets to use. And obviously only works in SP.

<data file=“Data\Interface\hudshift.ini” method=“filereplace” numtimes=“-1” options=“7:2”></data>

Again, why the use of numtimes? Have you added extra sections? In which case, you really do need to include it, too.

FINAL script
exe/jflpac.dll
exe/hudshift.dll
data/interface/hudshift.ini

From hudshift readme:

… or copy it to EXE (former) or DLLS\BIN (latter). The latter
will be loaded every time a game is loaded, allowing positions to be changed
on the fly; the former will only be loaded once.

• With both working same way, will use last suggestion.
• The numtimes deleted, so any change (if so) will go to hudshift.ini
  Sorry for long code posts, promise its over by me.

Thank You for time spent on this!
