Hi Undef,

I would like to disable the tachometer and the chrono ( 3, 2, 1) at the start of the map, to have the basic one

i disabled plugin.effect_studio and plugin.tachometer in the file plugins.xml but it doesnt work, after, the screen est empty, nothing appears.

I took a screenshot from an other server, apparently it's possible to do it.

How to get the chrono and the counter of Nadéo ?

Thanks

<chrono> is called by nadeo the time which counts down (where the 0:14.20 is in your screenshot), chat you want to reactivate is <go>.
You can edit all default UI settings in config/modescript_settings.xml.

But some changes requires e.g. a map change or a restart of the dedicated server to bring the original UI back (like <go>).

Thanks Undef :thumbsup: it works fine for the countdown and the chrono !

but, Speed and Distance don't display in the right of the screen ...

then i disabled plugin.effect_studio and plugin.tachometer in the file plugins.xml, in my file config/modescript_settings.xml there is :

Code: Select all

<!-- Speed and distance raced displayed in the bottom right of the screen -->
		<speed_and_distance>
			<visible>true</visible>
			<pos>
				<x>158.0</x>
				<y>-79.5</y>
				<z>5.0</z>
			</pos>
		</speed_and_distance>
but the screen stay empty ...

i don't know how to make to resolve it ...

With the ManiaPlanet 4 upgrade, I think that Undef has thousands of lines of source code to review, so in my opinion the countdown and the tachometer don't seem to be critical at this time. I also had the problem with the countdown... Locked on "1" during the whole race... No very easy to drive, so I removed it to revert back to the old-fashinoned 3,2,1,go. I'll reactivate later, when better times will come.

To retrieve the old-fashinoned 3,2,1,go:

1. Open the effect_studio.xml file with a text editor,

2. Locate "<event>onPlayerStartCountdown</event>" line (line #6) and change the "<enabled>" tag value on the preceeding line to "true".

3. Locate the "<path>config/effect_studio/countdown-3-2-1-GO!.xml</path>" line (line #114) and change the "<enabled>" tag value on the preceeding line to "false".

4. Restart UAseco.

Undef, keep up the good work, we are all with you and we have to be patient as (as we say in french) "Rome wasn't built in a single day" :thumbsup:

Ooops, I forget for the tachometer... It's a manialink located in uaseco/config/tachometer. You may modify the existing one or create another manialink containing the information you want, with the aspect you want, using the information in the template_classic.xml file (the label and quad ids).

Once the new manialink file is created, change the content of the uaseco/config/tachometer.xml file and write the name of your xml file in the "<template>" tag on line #3. Save all and restart uaseco.

Code: Select all

/tachometer reload
is enough, no need to restart UASECO. ;)
