George Patton -> Overlay Images (12/5/2013 9:25:28 AM)

I saved some airport's images with gmap.net for using with the overlay system.
I don't understand why I can see some images and some not. I saved them in the same exactly system.



Dimitris -> RE: Overlay Images (12/5/2013 10:43:02 AM)

Guess what is missing from this report [:)]



George Patton -> RE: Overlay Images (12/5/2013 10:58:58 AM)

Uhm...where I'm wrong?



Dimitris -> RE: Overlay Images (12/5/2013 11:23:06 AM)

The image files themselves....

(and their geo-ref files too)



George Patton -> RE: Overlay Images (12/5/2013 2:22:36 PM)

Ouch....123'932 KB....is that not too much?



RoryAndersonCDT -> RE: Overlay Images (12/5/2013 2:33:51 PM)

Hahaha [:D] I think that might be too much.



George Patton -> RE: Overlay Images (12/5/2013 2:44:52 PM)

What is the max size for CMANO?



RoryAndersonCDT -> RE: Overlay Images (12/5/2013 4:10:40 PM)

I usually go for 20MB max myself. I know the max is north of that point however.

I'm still trying to work out how do you save them in a scenario you create so when you open it up they are there?



Dimitris -> RE: Overlay Images (12/5/2013 7:33:33 PM)

You mean have them appear automatically when you load the scenario? This is not yet supported although we'll probably have to add it as it is one of the most requested features.



smudge56 -> RE: Overlay Images (12/5/2013 9:06:30 PM)

Cheers sunburn thanks for the reply at least I'm not doing something wrong [:D]

Hi all,

Is this currently implemented, in the works or scrapped?

I've created overlays and would like them to load automatically on scenario entry.

On a related note, how many overlays can be added? And do they have any effect on game speed/sim performance (calculations or whatnot) or are they static simply window-dressing?

I'd like to add an overlay for each airbase and naval facility.

To answer your first question: yes

Loading speed depends on size of your overlay files. If you have 10 overlays with 20mb each, it could take a few seconds to load all the images. I would try it and see for yourself.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Overlays are awesome [:)]

Ok. So I followed the instructions, and they are not loading.

I chose my overlays, created the bundle.
Saved it.
I created a separate folder in "Scenarios" for my build.
I unzipped the bundle and the "attachments" folder is in there with the 2 scenario files.
The overlays are in that folder, separated by GUID, and the pgw/png/desc files for each are present.

Any advice?



Cik -> RE: Overlay Images (2/8/2019 3:32:58 PM)

have you actually commanded them to load via the UI or a scenario start event?

It's not like it's difficult to do with LUA. A "Scenario Load" trigger and literally one line of code per picture does it.



Cik -> RE: Overlay Images (2/8/2019 4:08:39 PM)

thread is a product of dark magic

Hi Cik,

Thanks for the advice.
No. I misread the instructions. I thought that I could avoid LUA usage. It seems not.

Mark this as SOLVED.



Cik -> RE: Overlay Images (2/9/2019 2:22:22 PM)

you can avoid it. there's a UI option and you can just load them manually when you start the scenario.

it's at the top middle of the UI, "custom overlay" IIRC, then select the files you want.

but yes otherwise you'll need a handful of lua lines to load them at start.

When the bundle is unzipped into the scenario folder, it should have a 'attachments' folder where the SCEN file is.
When Command loads the scenario, it will move the 'attachments' folders to AttachmentRepo (which holds all the attachments for the installed scenarios)
