[SOLVED]How Add The Feature "Exit To Windows" To The Escape Menu In MultiPlayer?

[Phobos]

Tutorial under construction.

Another idea would be to add escape menu option to endgame scores screen so that when dedi servers hang on 0 people don't have to use task manager to close game and restart.

This a repost of a thread for an unanswered question. Off-topic posts will be instantly reported. Do not try to derail or spam this thread with the intention of getting it locked. It should remain open for discussion of the topic addressed here:

Ideas
I will be testing Bamdur's idea and post the results here.

You do know that when a thread gets locked you do not just go and start a new one right?

On Topic -  I'll tell you this one last time.
When you disconnect you are redirected to the main menu so the exit command will not be activated. And the exit command by itself will freeze your computer. You have to realise that a lot of things with modding a game are imposible. I've investagated this their is no work around, leave it at that now. If you want to do stuff a game was not designed to do you must build your own game.

Final Bottom Line - It is impossible get over it.

[jdee-barc]

naw, let him experiment with it, until he gets what he wants. He won't listen to you, sotheres really no point in explaining it again  .

Wait, phobos, do you really know what you're doing here?

[SleepKiller]

Wait, phobos, do you really know what you're doing here?

I'm 99% sure he does not.

Edit: Wait NapSeeker added the faekconsole buttot to MP? Then why would this topic with your replys in exsist http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=3701.0

[jdee-barc]

now now sleepkiller (condescending schoolteacher voice) don't get too hasty . let the man try his method

now now sleepkiller (condescending schoolteacher voice) don't get too hasty . let the man try his method

(We are gonna here from him about these posts...)

But anyway this is the code I would use if I were persistant.

Code Select Expand

ScriptCB_QuitToShell(1);
ScriptCB_QuitToWindows(1);

But the problem is you see that it'll quit to shell straight away without giving the second command a single thought.

OK, guys, here's the deal.

It's essentially the four of us stranded on an island...well, maybe that's not quite it...but anyway, it's essentially the four of us here on SWBFgamers.com.   

I don't want to lose anyone.  JDee, Sleepkiller, Phobos--you all know a lot about modding (Bamdur too, but he's not been as vocal as you other three).  Phobos asks a lot of questions to figure things out to make some new and creative things.  I'm still trying to ask decent questions, since I am an inexperienced modder, but I try to read everything, and contribute where I can. 

Sometimes personalities clash, sometimes ideas clash, etc.  Sleepkiller, I appreciate you answering a lot of the questions.  I might suggest that you answer it once, give the suspected outcome, and then let Phobos give it a try.  He's been forthcoming about what works and what doesn't work.  I know it can be frustrating when it appears that someone doesn't listen, but thanks again for hanging in there.

I often have to ask things a couple of different ways, try a few things, and read a bunch to understand things (I'm still working on understanding jdee's era mod, myself.)

Sometimes, in the process of finding out what doesn't work or going ahead with something that probably won't work anyway, something new might be learned.  And if its not new to the very experienced modders, just being new to me and anyone else that reads the forums is fine with me.

So, the bottom line is, thanks to all of you for being part of this small community, and let's try not to get frustrated with each other.

Oh, and since things seem to get more out of hand after I go to sleep, I've asked bamdur to help moderate. 

[SleepKiller]

Okay and I'm also feeling in a better mood then I was yesterday. So for the person who is very, very, very, persistant here is a script that controls the pause menu it is SWBFII but with editing it can be made fully fuctional in SWBFI.

It is very fragile so be careful what you alter about it.

@buckler: gotcha.

@sleepkiller. explain how this works. i don't understand a word of it

Yeah its comfusing I'm selftaught learn from my mistakes so I can not help you much just try things out see what happens. the name of the script is ifs_pausemenu.

if you dont understand the lua, i sugget you learn a bit about object orriented programming, just a cuple minutes reading about the languages that follow it, you might be able to understand it afterwards. ill make a tutorial explaining how advanced lua works later

[SleepKiller]

I understand most LUA its just I really don't care about this enough to go through the script and comment each line about what it does.

Seriously dude, I said that I could add the button but It will crash your game in multiplayer the code to disconnect will just send you back to the main menu and your command to exit will not activate.

[Bamdur]

{ tag = "exit", string = "common.quit2windows", } im pretty sure this is for localization, not for adding anything. and sleepkiller try exiting to windows in multiplayer while in windowed mode

Okay I'll explain it to you this

Code Select Expand

ifspausemenu_vbutton_layout = { ySpacing = 5, width = 260, font = gMenuButtonFont, buttonlist = { { tag = "resume", string = "common.resume", }, { tag = "lobby", string = "game.pause.playerlist", }, { tag = "friends", string = "ifs.onlinelobby.friendslist", }, { tag = "freecam", string = "game.pause.freecam", }, { tag = "console", string = "Fake Console", }, { tag = "opts", string = "ifs.main.options", }, { tag = "suicide", string = "game.pause.suicide", }, { tag = "recent", string = "common.mp.recent", }, { tag = "restart", string = "common.restart", }, { tag = "quit", string = "common.quit", }, { tag = "exit", string = "common.quit2windows", }, }, title = "game.pause.title",}
Is the menus main layout code. the tag that is being  defined is what the button does when it is clicked so search for "exit" in the script and you will find the fuctions that are excuted when the button is pressed. you should also find the "if" question that hides the button in multiplayer.
