[CbT] NC-Setup Version 2 (beta) released

[Satty]

Hello,

i finished today a first beta-version of my NC-Setup tool (version 2).

Feature list:

configure generally settings: resolution (window mode, too), gamma, mouse, intro/extro splash's, bobbing
RPOS color settings with preview (early version uses only retangles.. looks a little bit crazy ;))
sound & music settings, include a little manager to add your own MP3-files
easy SMS text Editor
handler for console.log files


This version 2 is not for Neocron-1, but should work, too (use it at your own risk!).

1.To install the program, simply copy it to your Neocron-folder.

2. ini\Control.ini is write-protected (used for bobbing and default-color)... NC-Setup will not change this state. If you want to save this two settings, remove write-protection manually.

Remember, it is a first BETA-Version. (http://d.metzinger.bei.t-online.de/nc/tools/NCSetup.zip)

I use Delphi-5 and some FX, file size raised to 450 KB. If you dont like it, vote for a simple design ;)

design needs a little work, but I prefere this over a simple design.

wow sounds cool Ill have to give it a shot :)

[edit] u might get in a lil trouble with KK for the gamma over ride slider :P

u might get in a lil trouble with KK for the gamma over ride slider :P

dont think so, you can edit this value at three places inside Neocon-2 ;)

[joran420]

ahh but that gamma correction inside nc2 is not hardware gamma afaik...bah u know more bout this stuff than meh :P

[TheMorpheus2000]

cool m8, i appreciate !

btw, what is that "char bobbing" funiktion on the first screen ?
i have the problem that on char-selection screen the chars are (with their bodys) covering their names and all other infos about them. is that option to fix that? didnt do in my case ...

[Nash_Brigham]

Character bob is that screen shake that causes your screen to waggle from side to side as you walk or run in NC. Turning it off stops that.

Nice work - Neocron has needed a GUI for changing the user customisable .ini elements for ages.

5 star :D


One small note ... you seem to be assuming only `normal` 96dpi for the scaling of the fonts and text areas, rather than using whatever value the win32 API supplies.

I checked with Iorghe about this and Beliar checked with Carnage.

As this utility only modifies "ini" files that are user modifiable anyway it is allowed.

Satty, Iorghe has requested a name change for your utility. Please rename it to:

"NC2-Settings Tool v2.0b" (b for beta)

at weekend I make some fixes:
- renamed to "NC2-Settings Tool v2.0b" ;)
- Update to RPOSCOLOR.INI v2.2
- fix the size mismatch if using other Monitor-Resolutions than 96dpi
- ignore control.ini if write protected (atm you got a error-message)

Wouldn't be a true Neocron program unless it FRE'd now would it ;) .

what windows system do u use? I can test it only at W2k and XPprof, perhaps there is a problem with win95/98/me and transparent form.

make a link and try a start with "ncsetup.exe debug"

[mystery8]

Very nice. Good work :)

[G.0.D.]

Im on XP corp (pretty much the same as pro?)

I will try it again in a bit with debug

link down ? :|

[Satty]

Can a mod please close this Thread? I also ask to close the german thread (there).

I will open a new (multilingual) Thread for the Tool on Sunday in the OPEN BETA Forum, when the Tool is finished for RPOSCOLOR v2.21.

I think, it's a Tool for NC-2 and atm there is the place to talk about it. :angel:
