  • Lightbar Selection A46

    From nugax@21:1/107 to All on Sun Apr 19 20:48:32 2020
    Hi,

    I upgraded to A46. I was using bt-gasel and tried xqtrs lightbar selection module. Both of these had similar issues, as I think things have changed in
    the DB since they wrote these tools.

    My question is: What is everyone using for message and file area/group
    lightbar selection mods? Python/MPL? Have something you would share?


    Thanks,

    I'm still using bt-gasel, but I had to change a few items. I think if you
    look at the pascal records it should make sense what changes need to be made.
    I haven't looked at it in a while or I'd have a better answer for you :/

    Mind sharing your bt-gasel.mps file? I don't know what records to change or where to find what to change them to...

    It's rather huge, I'll have to upload it somewhere. I'll do so shortly.

    This is raw! I don't have anything commented and may have some custom shiz in there :P

    Ryan,

    I tried your exact code. It doesnt display the message groups either. Areas work fine. Does your bt-gasel work? Are you running A46?

    Thanks,

    Yeah, I think I have some custom configs or something.

    See if you can figure out the difference between my mpl and the original,
    there are some new group configs and you'll have to refer to the pascal data structures included in the upgrade to understand what needs to be changed. Sorry, I rebuilt mine a while ago, when upgrading and it initially broke for me, and can't remember what I did :)
