BuzziBi Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Is it posible to use folders in a .cab file, and how do you point to ie a image in that folder? And I'm all like...Weeeeeeeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I don't know about other .cab file compression software, but with CabDir, no, all the files to be compiled into the .cab file must be in the same directory (folder, sorry, old DOS user). It only compiles from the folder you tell it to. You can't tell it to use several different folders, just one. Does it compile the folders WITHIN the main folder, IE: sub-folders, I can't say. It may, I never tried it. To include an image, just put it in the same folder all the rest is in. Say you have an XML and 3 .BMPs, just put them al in the same folder, then tell it to compile that particular folder. Does that help?

n4gix Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Look at the .cab files from FS2004 (FS9). They used two sub-folders for ..\640 and ..\1024 bitmaps. The appropriate sized bitmap would be auto-loaded based on the sim's resolution settings.

PhantomTweak Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Ok, I wasn't sure if subfolders worked or not...

BuzziBi Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 "n4gix" Excuse me for asking, but is not this choice made in the aircraft.cfg file? And I'm all like...Weeeeeeeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n4gix Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 "n4gix" Excuse me for asking, but is not this choice made in the aircraft.cfg file? No it is not. It is something that is controlled entirely by the .xml "gauge" script in the CAB file, and is based on the user's chosen screen resolution for the simulator. For example, the altimeter script for the Beech Baron calls for named bitmaps. The sim will load the correct version from the ..\640 or \1024 sub-folder automatically: Bill Leaming http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Combat/0054.gif Gauge Programming - 3d Modeling Military Visualizations Flightsim.com Panels & Gauges Forum Moderator Flightsim Rig: Intel Core i7-2600K - 8GB DDR3 1333 - EVGA GTX770 4GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium Development Rig1: Intel Core i7-3770k - 16GB DDR3 - Dual Radeon HD7770 SLI 1GB - Win7 64bit Professional Development Rig2: Intel Core i7-860 - 8GB DDR3 Corsair - GeForce GTS240 1GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium NOTE: Unless explicitly stated in the post, everything written by my hand is MY opinion.
