Can't get this applet to work...please help me!
Hey!
First of all i have to say I'm really happy someone did an applet like this one.
But unfortunately, it doesn't work for me!
All the LCD says is "No Game Found".
I followed all the installation steps correctly, i think. Here is what I've done:
- I installed your applet and started it
- I installed the plugin through the X - Plugin Manager
- I opened the GamePanel Manager and set the path of the X3.exe (I didnt
touch the logfile number, it's still 09003)
Did I miss any step?
Well, I never worked with sripts before so this was the first time I activated it. In the AL options, it says "ReadText9003-1" and this option is activated. I found the 3 G15 scripts in the script editor and run them manually (through "r") but it still says "No Game Found"....
Please tell me what else i have to do!
I'm really looking forward to this applet!
Greetings, crk
EDIT: Can't believe it...THANK YOU VERY MUCH Osiris_sam!
He wrote some time ago, that you have to convert the spk file using the converter that comes with the plugin manager and it WORKED PERFECTLY.
I'm off, playing X3 thanks for the great applet!

Success! I have the G15 and have tried unsuccessfully to load. All I got is the "X3 Reunion No Game Found" screen. I thought this would be a good place to start my scripting experience but then I became discouraged. I may have missed something obvious but I just was not sure (Nicky New Guy). I've then read the thread and I saw the part about converting the spk file. BINGO! Took me a bit of time to figure out the mechanics as it's been a long time since I have seen the DOS Prompt! THANKS!
One thing that seems to jump out at me is that I don't know what the AL Plugins Menu is??? Sorry to be dummy but sometimes you just have to admit your ignorance, put away the pride and ask the dumb question.
Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Is it possible, that the script doesn`t work with version 2.5 of X3?
I did everything to bring it to work, but it says "no game found"
I converted the spk file, checked the AL-settings, and controlled the game location(and port) in the lcd Manager.
What could be the reason???
If my english is bad, I´m sorry, I´m from germany.
EDIT: My problem is solved... I just restarted the X3LCD and... IT WORKS!

this is usually caused when you havn't got EMP installed, which is required for the combat computermauxion wrote:Hi thank you for making this applet.

combat computer shows in equipment dock without name
simple anwser, you cantmauxion wrote: race ranks don't show percentage only trade and combat ranks have it
how i can fix it
basically, i couldn't get the prectages to display correctly.
the numbers and display in the game simply didn't add up, so the pertages were always out. So i desicded to simply not display them

Hi,
How have you done that? Because I've an a LCD-Display on my Computer and I also use LCDSmartie but I've no G15madprof wrote:The basics of the log file work well with a quickly hacked together plugin for LCDSmartie, just one question - is the M7 included in one of the other ship classes?

so, a next german people need help.
I have problem to bring the applet to a function, i see only, x3 Reunion no game found display.
I take the next steps.
- I installed your applet and started it
- I installed the plugin through the X - Plugin Manager
- I opened the GamePanel Manager and set the path of the X3.exe (I didnt
touch the logfile number, it's still 09003) (copied from a post higher, thx for written.)
in X3, i activated the srcipteditor.
there i can find the X3 applet files:
al.logitechg15.main
al.logitechg15.timer
al.plugin.logitechg15
exampel.lcd.display
so, i think, the sripts are installed.
ive restarted the x3-applet for any times, and also i showed in the windows taskmanager, that there was only 1 times this X3lcd.exe task.
BUT, i becomes only the X3 reunion no game found displayed.
ingame, with activad scripteditor, i didn't found the applet in the AL game options. (ingame, esc, game, scrolled down to "Artifical Life-Einstellungen" and open it, there ist nothing.)
what am i doing wrong?
ive also looked that the applet in the x plugin manager was actived.
(sry for my terrible english. )
P.S. I hoped, a german one, wo read this, and uses this applet fully functionally, can also help me.

I'm having the same issues.
I followed every step to the t, and all I ever get is a "No Game Found" on my LCD.
The script is enabled according to X Plugin Manager.
I have the correct install directory set in the LCD control panel (c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\x3 - reunion)
Use pilot name "Thereshallbewings" to activate all the scripts I use
but when I go into options and select the AL Plugin option, all I see is a bar that says "Plug ins", I imagine there should be a list underneath or something? But there's nothing there for me to select at all.
I've tried reinstalling, restarting, repatching, even did the whole SPKconvert thing even though I believe you said it had been updated in an earlier post (maybe not)
Regardless, I've taken every step short of reinstalling Windows XP, and nothing has made the plugin work.

@MikeLucien.
I'm using LCD Smartie http://lcdsmartie.sourceforge.net/ to drive the display, this can get information from extension dlls. Fortunately for me Cycrow made the log file nice and easy to parse, so I knocked together a quick dll in C#, quick in the fact hardcoded paths and very little error checking.
I'm using LCD Smartie as it can talk my Palm PDA connected via usb with it running an LCD emulation program.
If Cycrow doesn't mind me making using of his script I'll tidy the code up a bit and make it available with some instructions.

if its not being displayed in the al life settings, then it is a problem with the install of the script.Zero-nt- wrote:but when I go into options and select the AL Plugin option, all I see is a bar that says "Plug ins", I imagine there should be a list underneath or something?

if its running correctly, it will show up there.
so i would check that you have the install directory correct, and that the script are present in your x3 directory
the game not found usually means that the program is unable to find the log file.
so either its not being created because the scripts arn't running, or your point the program to the wrong place so it cant find the file. So i would check these.
also, if the scripts are running correctly, you should find the log file in the X3 Directory
Well, I'm absolutly stumped then.
The GameProfile settings are set to 'C:\Program Files\steam\steamapps\common\x3 - reunion'
The Plugin Manager's X directory is set to 'C:\Program Files\steam\steamapps\common\x3 - reunion'
When I install the scripts, for whatever reason, it's automaticly moved to the disabled folder (even though the plugin manager says its enabled).
I have to disable, and then enable again. Then the Plugin Manager correctly moves the scripts into the main script directory, and everything in the t/disabled directory gets moved into the base t directory.
Everything looks like it's installing fine. But it doesn't change anything in game. I still don't have any options show up in the AL Plugin screen.
I'm about to give up and just not run the logitech plugin since apparently it doesn't like me
Edit: I'm not sure what the log file will look like. I have two logfiles in the main X3 - reunion directory. logfile9001-2 and logfile9004, but I don't see a logfile9003 which I'm assuming is the logfile I need to see.
Edit more: Okay, I need to read the stickies before assuming I know what I'm doing. After I enabled scripts, I should have saved and then reloaded that save. After doing so, do I finally see the AL Plugin settings for the logitech lcd... however, I still only see "No Game Found" on the LCD itself. But at least I'm one step closer to finally getting this to work correctly
Final Edit: Okay, got it working.
As mentioned, I forgot to save my game before checking the AL Plugin options. Once I did, and reloaded, everything popped up.
In order for me to get the LCD to display correctly, I had to alt-tab out of game, end the current 'x3lcd.exe' process, and then restart the LCD application again (some users have said they had to do this when multiple copies of x3lcd.exe were found, but I think you have to do it regardless, if you encountered any problems)[/i]

Sry for the problem, the install was correctly, i already found the problem.
I forgotten the following step.
after scripteditor was started,
I doesn't save and reload the game.
that was the problem, and wasn't written in the readme or i didn't see it.
sofar, sry that I don't read the text correctly enough.

After a few hours of hair pulling and forum reading...
If you are using Vista (in my case 64bit) make sure you run the X3LCD_Setup.exe as Administrator.
This appears to have resolved the issue of shared files (and the constant No Game Found if everything else has been done).
hope this helps someone...
