[PROGRAM] G19 LCD Applet for X3TC/X3AP

[Teleth]

Logitech G19 applet designed for use with X3TC/X3AP.
This applet is coded in LCDMisc, which is open source and easy to edit without requiring a compiler.
The install contains everything necessary.

Utilizes a modified version of Cycrow's G15 Logging script and also a modified version of LCDMisc.
The X3 panel was coded in approximately one day; hopefully it is problem free. Should work with any version of X3 that is capable of running the logging script.

Features
Integration with SEWN (Satellite Early Warning Network) alerts the player to the number of intruders entering their systems.
Credit transaction shows +/- changes to the players bank account.
Targeting/Speed/Distance/Missile/Insurance displays.
LED Backlight fades between red/yellow/green based on shield integrity.
Light-weight implementation with 0% CPU utilization on my aging dual-core phenom.

Installation
-------------
Extract the LCDMisc folder to where you wish to install it.
Open LCDMisc.ini and edit the [X3] log entry.
Replace Log = C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Egosoft\X3AP\ with your X3 Log directory.
e.g Log = C:\Users\Teleth\Documents\Egosoft\X3AP\

Run LCDMisc.exe or LCDMisc64.exe depending on your operating system.
If LCDMisc is running correctly, it should be selectable through your G19's interface. In the event LCDMisc cannot find your G19 it will run in its own separate window.
You can also force it to run in its own window by copying the 320x240ddraw.dll file into dll directory should you desire.

The X3 panel should be complaining about a lack of logfile at this point, if it is not, you should press the G19 direction pad to scroll to the X3 panel.

Extract X3_G19Logging.zip to your main X3 folder or /addons in the case of Albion.
Please ensure your game is set to modified by typing "Thereshallbewings" as your player name temporarily if you have not already done so for other mods.
Save and reload after setting your game to modified, this will allow the logging plugin to function.
If these are installed correctly, the Gameplay->Artificial Life Settings should contain the G19 stats logging option, switch it ON if it is not already.
Within a minute LCDMisc should detect the log files. If it does not, make sure the log file (log09003.txt) exists and that LCDMisc.ini is pointing to its directory.

SEWN integration
Extract the folder inside X3_G19_SEWN.zip to your X3TC folder, or the /addons folder for Albion. It should overwrite two SEWN related files. If it does not, double check you are copying to the correct location.
SEWN alerts will not work without this modification. Uses logfile 9004.

Hopefully that should cover it!

If you want to edit the panel yourself the two main files are located at LCDMisc/Override/view/X3view.c (declarations) and LCDMisc/Override/util/X3Draw.c I recommend using Notepad++ to edit these.

Notes
If you're wondering why I didn't add reputation tracking it's because I wanted to keep the panel focused on important/critical information.
Initially I really wanted to add flashing keyboard alerts when transport ships were attacked, I wasn't really sure how to go about it logging it, sadly..
Insurance isn't displayed unless you have less than 20.
May work with USB480D devices if you copy usbd480.dll into the dll folder.

Let me know if you want to see specific features or I missed something that should be on the panel.

Just tried to install the plugin.
First problem ist die logfile. I had to create the 9003 because i had none.
But he still didn´t find.

Text in InI: Log = C:\Users\tanzendes Wasser\Documents\Egosoft\X3TC\

second problem is installing the scripts from G19loggin.zip I nearly put them everywhere but i had nothing in AL to unable.

Is there a tutorial for Steam Users? I can´t make it work, the direction is have 2 copy into the log file is different...

But the Screens are Awsome

[Bromy2004]

Excellent job!!
I love it.

1 Small note...although this is probably just my F**k up, you need the forward slash after your Logging location in the INI.
I didn't realise until I looked at the LCD display and it looked...funky.

Also for possible enhancements...
Freight Load (xxxx/yyyyy)
Current Sector
Auto-Pilot current command.


Cheers


p.s. I DL'd the full panel set and my Magician is doing really well

In short, enabling the plugin option in AL settings isn't showing up.
I've done everything as described in the installation guide.

This is the Steam version if it matters at all.

[Teleth]

I'm afraid it's been more or less a year since I developed this and I'm no longer familiar with it. My help will probably be limited at this point.

To be honest, this is my first mod aswell

Well, in AB that is. It's been ages since i last played an X3 game. I'm totally ready to dive right back in!

Thanks for the "Thereshallbewings" tip, i had totally forgotten it!

And thanks for the mod aswell
Love the way the lights in my keyboard change colors when my ships shields are failing

[Shadowpriest]

Still not working, the log file wont appear, maybe i am 2 dumb
Is there any way you can upload the logfile and we place it there manually?

My game is ***modified*** by default, i love messing with the universe by getting some ships

AL-Setting is enabled, it says something like "read 9003-1".

The path on my system is C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\X3 Terran Conflict\ (I tryed using with \ at the end and without).
Note that my system is german, so its called Programme instead of Program files, tryed 2 change that 2, no effect.

There was my error <.<

It got more then enough time 2 create the file, i started X3 and went 2 work so my facilitys and trader can make some money. But still no change.

I followed the install instructions, redownloaded every package needed, threw out the scripts (They have a different ending thou, the normal scripts in the directory are .pck while the scripts i downloaded are .xml !

I think thats everything i can tell you, if i missed something pls ask

EDIT: Found it, jep, i am dumb I looked at the wrong spot for the log file, i will test it and get you some responce^^

Working now thx

[ManiakNL]

Awesome now bumb slowly into a station and watch those colors go red At least that i what i did when i first got it
