Hi every one ! Thanks for stopping in to see what’s going on ! Well some of you must remember all most a year ago Billy Bob & I came out with,Zoom Radar version 1.0 !

While it was a nice improvement to the TT game, it had a few little bugs & one major flaw ! It was for Window users only ! Well needless to say we worked out all the bugs. Now I have spent over the last 9 months trying to find some one to rewrite it for you Mac users. Well to make a long story short, I decided to take a crack at this and do it myself. If given the chance again, I would still be looking for a scripter !

This was nothing but head ache after ache for me from the get go ! After studding The Modding Resource thread (thank you Max !), for many endless hours. Reading link after link on scripting, I was finally able to rewrite the Zoom Radar for Mac users ! I was also able to improved on the Zoom Radar along the way, through all my trial and errors ! Thus giving us version 2.0. Brought to you by LONEWOLF(UF)

Well after I had it all finished. I then went on a search for a couple of Window & Mac testers. While we found no bugs for window users (using version 2.0). I ran into my first major bug for Mac users. I had no clue Mac made a single click mouse. I was in luck though, the Mac tester who discovered the problem was also a scripter and was able to do a little bit of modifying of my script and was able to get it to work for those of you who still use the single click mouse. Thus giving us version 2.01. Brought to you by CannedSplam & LONEWOLF(UF).

While my second Mac tester, who uses the new Mac Mouse (meaning at least 2 mouse buttons if not more) had no problems with version 2.0. Mac users can use this but you must install it yourself ! See version 2.02 for easier option.

My Third Mac tester was also able to improve on it. He made it easier for you Mac users to install it ! By coming up with a installer+script for Mac users. Thus giving us version 2.02. Brought to you by Chilled Lizard & LONEWOLF(UF).

The only requirements are as follows:
1. You have to at least have the 2x’s Radar installed. It will not work with original radar that comes with the game.

2. You must also undo any radar modification you might of done in the past to enlarge your radar dots in your main.cs file ! You can modify them again if needed, after you have installed it and checked to make sure that it works right. Keep in mind, once you modify this in any way, you are on your own if something goes wrong !

3.Mac users MUST have their TT folder located in the 'Applications' folder on your Hard Disk (Macintosh HD, by default). If it's not in the Applications folder, then move it!! You can move it back out later if you really want to. Therefore, the ThinkTanks.app must be in the following directories:
/Applications/ThinkTanks/ThinkTanks.app
If you don’t follow this rule, then Zoom Radar version 2.02 with installer+script (automatically installs it for you) will not install it right. Once again if you make this mistake you are on your own.

So without further delay, I present to you the following Versions of the Zoom Radar.

Window’s Version 2.0
The script was made by LONEWOLF(UF), based on an original script by -z-, re-written by BillyBob and LONEWOLF(UF), and re-written and improved upon by LONEWOLF(UF). Use at your own risk. If you modify this in any way and TT doesn’t work, I don’t want to hear about any problems. You brought them on yourself !

Now I can not stress this enough, please, please make a back up copy of your main.cs file, before you start !You will also need to make a copy of your radar skin if you are not using the plain 2x’s radar skin. Once you have this installed you can re-install your radar skin and it will work This way if you make a mistake installing it, you have a back up copy to go back too ! Your install instructions are in the Zip folder !

If you want to change the Hot Key for this open up your main.cs file and look for this line,

 

 

This is what you want to change to move it to a different key.

Any problems please post here or email me !

It can come in handy. Very nice o have in the ol arsenal of tricks and treats!

Works and looks great LoneWolf Thanks for the hard work..

I was glad to modify the script and make all those with the single click mouse. You should have no problems. I fixed all bugs that might occur with Mac users. Lone did a great job starting this, and it was great except for the few Mac flaws I fix. Lets give a big hand to LoneWolf! :P It wouldn't be here without him...

^ Indeed

Very handy tool and easy to use, nice one Lone.................. :) :) :)

Not that I'm intrested or anything cus My normal radar is THA BOMB and is all I need B) , but could I see a screenie of it Lone? :o

Ok here is screenies. No one moved from the time I took screenie 1, until I took screenie 2. You can really tell how close they are when zoomed in. Just click on image to enlarge them. B)

LONE, you did see my email I sent you, right?
