YAY thnx lone

Hey Wolfie,

Can you post a screenie so we can see what it looks like? Sounds cool.

-Rx

Looks like this!!!

You will have to ask Billy Bob to my screenies don't work and nobody has helped me fix it. I will exsplain what it does though ! Picture your normal radar and with a simple right click of the mouse it zooms in to show just how close every one really is. B)

Nice @billy I am using that skin

Nice work. One question: How do you change it back to normal size (without rejoining the game)? Is it possible??? B)

Just right click on your mouse again, you can go back and forth as you need it. B)

LONEWOLF...your the only one with Right-click....it is Ctrl + z...then just press it again...to go back to normal

Wow! That is amazing! Nice work. Thx for the screenie! Would be curious to hear what it's like to play with it (I'm at work :( ).

Its on real RX ! I have missed it so much, my game when down hill with out it. B)
Billy Bob is working on other releases of it. I use 2x's radar.

Wow! Thats awsome LONEWOLF. Maybe some day you and BB can become scripting partners.

Link just leads to a page with stuff on it. No download.

Works I just tested it,try again

Ah! The shooting puck! My nemesis! XO

I Cant Get It to Work?? :(.
Why wont it work?
I go into Game and it does nothing
Do U have to have Special Radar 4 it to work??
Somebody *gurgle* Help before I drown in my own *gurgle* drool over this thing!

Awesome! Good job! WOW! Neato!

Just got it to work, really cool (did I say that already?)

I noticed that when I hit Ctrl-z that its a little off center and Billies looks like it's on center. Changing from a 3x to 2x radar didn't help. Any ideas?

NUTS! :P

PS It is really cool!

I have the 2x's radar.
I will be off line for a couple of hours but will be back later. Billy Bob is also working on more versions of it for those who cannot get it to work. I am on a PC also not a mac. B)

Mine stays right where the other one is bottom right corner. B)

Hmm maybe it's a Mac thing. Got email, did everything you said but no cigar.

Hey when I shrink it back down it doesnt go to the normal size its a little bigger than the normal size.

This is sweet! Nice job wolf and bill bob!

Quick question: where can I get the web radar? The standard radar is just to much blown up...

@fred - mine does the same thing... It doesn't go back to normal but instead goes to 2x.

Thanks!
bill

Oh I see, you also need to use one of the transparent radars for this to be useful.

Yay! GJ to both!

You too Sil I wonder why that is?

Yeah, doesn't seem to work on a Mac yet. Hopefully we'll get there soon? I'd like to try.

Otherwise, good work fellas.

BB Please try to fix the problem where it does not go back to normal size it goes back to 2x

W00t! GJ to you both
Now how many scripts do I have in my main.cs?
1...
2...
3...
4...
5...

Ok guys I am back, Billy Bob is working on other scripts for those that have Mac's. For those of you that are having radar problems, if you are still using the real radar that came with TT, trust me up grade to 2x's radar it much better and will make it work better. B)

@ lone

Sweet! I gotta question tho...seems I have 1 main.cs.dso in the game folder, no just main.cs. Do I put that line at the bottom of the dso file?

-scotty

@lw/bb, can u give me it in UNCOMPILED form? I wanna make it zoom smoothly
[~Sasuke~]

And if it works, ill upload it
[~Sasuke~]

@ Scotty you put the stuff in the main.cs not the main.cs.dso in the game folder the one where before you click on game

Ok people I think I got your problems fixed for the ones who say that the radar dont go back to normal...if you are using the Radar that came with Think Tanks you have to use this one...CLICK ON ME!!

Stick it in game/server/
in main.cs put this at the bottom
exec("game/server/default_zoom.cs");

To use Press Ctrl + z

Any more problems to post here

Okay....i have 2x radar on my downstairs computer....When I put that line in my Main File My TT wont start up!! What is the Problem??

And I have Regular Radar on my upstairs Comp I used BB's thing there but to no Avail

Bump B)

Only problem, I believe, is that when it is brought back to normal, it's slightly bigger than what it originally was.

Hey BB and you direct me to where you got the spiderweb radar thanks

Fred

Hmmmm when I press ctrl + z my radar just disapears. I'm using lil Aliens spider web radar and playGui.gui.dso.
Is that the problem?

Where do you go for the spiderweb radar

http://homepage.mac.com/lilaliend/FileSharing10.html (You have to be using the 2X or 3X radar)

Someone please post when the Xmas radar works on a mac!

EDIT: nvm I found it was in the main folder lol I have GOT TO STOP moving files...

@ lone

Thanks for emailing me this dude!

@ All
Billy Bob and I are glade you all like your X-Mas present from us. I hope you all have a very Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year. :P

P.S.
I will not be on TT OR PTT on 12/15/04. This old man is turning 33 and I think the wife has something speicial planed. Also we are working on a Mac version so please bare with us. B)

The thing is still making the radar bigger than the normal when you set it back from the zoom.. The only way I'm able to reset it back to the original is by restarting TT.

@ ALL
Sluggy will look at the Zoom Radar next week when he gets back and see what he can do about rewriting this for Mac users ! Woot !! Thank you Sluggy ! B)

Seems like a good idea but I dont want to use the spiderweb radar. I cant get it to work with my normal 2x radar. And also why would I want this?

B

@ Bolo

It more pinpoints where your enemy is and how fast they are truely approaching...perfect for the anti-campers...it works for my original radar...just takes LOTS of getting used 2!

@ Lone

HAPPY B-DAY!!!! I'm gonna start a thread for ya...

@ zeon

Mine goes from the original to the giant zoom, then resets to a medium...it happens to be a good apparatice and a very strategically stable way to avoid ppl lol

-scotty

@ Bolo
Its like Scotty said,

Its also great when at the goal or in a pack, you can see right where they are to a "T" with a little tweeking of the script and the dots.
I wish some one could help me with, why my screenies don't work ! All I get is a marron picture ! I would love to post what my radar looks like for you all. Mine stays in the lower right of the screen even when in zoom. My dots in normal 2x's Radar (Bolo's) are normal size that came with TT but in Zoom Mode they are enlarge to a "Perfect Point" that I can see the smallest of space between you and me, if you got as close to me as possible with out touching me. Now imagine how well that would help when it comes to driving around with the scrum ! With this I think its going to seperate a much more improved player from what we now call Vet Players ! With this I think we will have our "HALL of FAME GROUP" If you can master all the skills and this new Zoom Radar !

Lone, how are you taking screenies in TT? You're supposed to press Control + P, then locate the resulting file inside the TT application. But the format it takes them in is PNG, so you need to use some graphic application to convert them to JPG or something else that a web browser will be able to display.

As for the zoom radar, I'm not totally convinced yet of how useful this will be, but I'll reserve judgement for when I can give it a try. Just let us know when the Mac verson is ready, and I'll give it a spin.
