I can not seem to load 2 seperate mods that add custom menu items?

[aJynks]

Hi.. am am trying to do a test here... I simply have two mods... with nothing but "MENUDEF" in them...

one is...

This makes a options called "MOD : aJynksed Options" and a submenu called "Cheat Binding" that has a few simple cheat codes as a tests.

Code: Select all

AddOptionMenu "OptionsMenu"
{
	Submenu "MOD : aJynksed Options", "Jynked_Options"
}

OptionMenu "Jynked_Options"
{
	Title "The Jynksed Options"
    StaticText ""
    Submenu "Cheat Bindings", "Jynked_Options_Cheats"
}

OptionMenu "Jynked_Options_Cheats"
{
	Title "Cheat Bindings"
    StaticText ""
    Control "Turn on God Mode", "god"
    Control "Turn on No Clip", "noclip"
    Control "Give All", "give all"
}

the other is

This is the MENUDEF from another mod I made that works fine.... it currently makes a menu called "MOD : aJynksed LevelInfo".

Code: Select all

AddOptionMenu "OptionsMenu"
{
	Submenu "MOD : aJynksed LevelInfo", "LI_Options"
}

OptionMenu "LI_Options"
{
	Title "The Jynksed LevelInfo Options"
    StaticText ""
    TextField  "How far in from the left : ", "ajynks_levelInfo_posX"
    TextField  "How far down from the Top : ", "ajynks_levelInfo_posY"
    TextField  "Set Scale : ", "ajynks_levelInfo_Scale"
}

loading either of the test mods works fine.... but if I load both on them.. neither show up?

this is my run.bat

Code: Select all

"d:\Projects\Doom\_resources\_MainApps\_engine\gzdoom\gzdoom.exe" -config "d:\Projects\Doom\_resources\_MainApps\_engine\gzdoom\_modn.ini" -warp 1 -skill 4 -file "d:\Projects\Doom\v2test\" "d:\Projects\Doom\v2test2\"

Again.. both work fine, by themselves

The end goal is that I want to have both options show.... but the original idea was to make a Menu called "MOD : aJynksed Options" and then add any mods I make that need options as a sub menu to that..... (see the top menudef)....

1) Am I writing the bat file correctly to load more than 1 directory? -file "dir1" dir2" ?
2) How can I simply get both menu options to load, when loading 2 different mods.
3) Is it possible to have different mods, that need options, to have those options as a subMenu to a single menuOption.
4) Why do my options only ever show if I have "show full options" set to on?

Thanks!

The end Goal, if possible, is to have two completely perseverate mods loaded and the options menu have a single submenu to the main options, and then both mod options added as a submenu to that.

MOD : aJynksed Options

• Options for Test Mod 1
• Options for Test Mod 1

I have simplified the test setup...

Test 1

Code: Select all

AddOptionMenu "OptionsMenu"
{
	Submenu "MOD : TEST 1", "menu_test1"
}

OptionMenu "menu_test1"
{
	Title "test menu item 1"
    StaticText ""
    Control "Turn on God Mode", "god"
    Control "Turn on No Clip", "noclip"
}

Test 2

Code: Select all

AddOptionMenu "OptionsMenu"
{
	Submenu "MOD : TEST 2", "menu_test2"
}

OptionMenu "menu_test2"
{
	Title "test menu item 2"
    StaticText ""
    Control "Give All", "give all"
}

bat File

Code: Select all

"d:\Projects\Doom\_resources\_MainApps\_engine\gzdoom\gzdoom.exe" -config "d:\Projects\Doom\_resources\_MainApps\_engine\gzdoom\_modn.ini" -warp 1 -skill 4 -file "d:\Projects\Doom\MenuTest\test1\" "d:\Projects\Doom\MenuTest\test2\"

Both menu items are defined in "MENUDEF"... I'm sure it has something to do with that... as in both mods have a "MENUDEF"... but then how do you load more than one set of options? i know you must be able to as I have seen it when I load multi-mods form other people.

Turns out it was a error in the bat file....

This as an option dose not work

Code: Select all

-file "path1/dir1/" "path2/dir2/"

This as an option DOSE work.. simply make sure the directory path has no trailing /

Code: Select all

-file "path1/dir1" "path2/dir2"

Annoyingly, if you load a single dir, then the trailing / is not a problem : (

Code: Select all

-file "path1/dir1/"

Now I have it working.... it is about trying to get the submenu system working....

Basically, I guess I need to test to see if submenu exists or not, and if it dose, add to it, and if it dose not create it... Is that possible?

[aJynks]

I've tried a bunch of other options, as well as fooling around with "protected"... but I can nto work it out...

is there a way to use "AddOptionMenu"... but only add it is it is not already there, and if it is there, add to it, not over write it?
