Post: Need some info on con_dvars--> My CFG menu (Menu text/display) Help
11-16-2012, 09:10 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alright so my path is like a barebones CFG patch. But when I open it, I cant see the other options unless i scroll over it and the last option fades away. Is there a code to show all the options on the menu on your screen at once? Im pretty sure its a con_dvar but im not entirely sure, im a noob.Ill try to make this a little more clear:

my Menu:

(Opened)
Lobby mods----> im hovering over this one
Prestieges ---->cant see this unless i gover over it
Fun mods---->cant see unless i hover over it
Game mods---->cant see unless i hover over it
Player mods----> cant see unless i hover over it

When i hover over one, i cant see the others.Is there a code to display all options at once?



Oh and I have these con_dvar strings all ready in it (stolen from a more "famous" patch to center my menu haha)
set con_gameMsgWindow0FadeInTime "0"
set con_gameMsgWindow0FadeOutTime "0.25"
set con_gameMsgWindow0LineCount "8"
set con_gameMsgWindow0MsgTime "2"
set con_gameMsgWindow0ScrollTime "0"
set con_gameMsgWindow1Filter "gamenotify"
set con_gameMsgWindow0Filter "obituary"

Would it be changing line count? Im so confused. someone help.

Heres a video...sorry for the AWFUL quality. i just grabbed something and filmed:

It would be much more easier for people to help you if you just post the code.

Anyways, Im not a pro coder but if I use the following code everything shows up correctly:
(Just an example code for the main menu strucutre)

    
set MenuLine1 "vstr Menu1selected;vstr Menu2;vstr Menu3;bind dpad_up vstr MenuLine3;bind dpad_down vstr MenuLine2;bind button_rstick vstr Close"
set MenuLine2 "vstr Menu1;vstr Menu2selected;vstr Menu3;bind dpad_up vstr MenuLine1;bind dpad_down vstr MenuLine3;bind button_rstick vstr Close"
set MenuLine3 "vstr Menu1;vstr Menu2;vstr Menu3selected;bind dpad_up vstr MenuLine2;bind dpad_down vstr MenuLine1;bind button_rstick vstr Close"

set Menu1 "/""Thiz iz Menu 1"/""
set Menu1selected "/""Thiz iz Menu 1 selected"/""
set Menu2 "/""Thiz iz Menu 2 "/""
set Menu2selected "/""Thiz iz Menu 2 selected"/""
set Menu3 "/""Thiz iz Menu 3"/""
set Menu3selected "/""Thiz iz Menu 3 selected"/""



That's at least how Ive done it with my menu. and it works. Compare it to your code and maybe you forgot something.
If thats not the case, please post the code you used.

i did. its at the bottom. This question isnt about its structure...its about the display or design of the menu, which is affected by con_dvars. My menu operates fine, its just that i want it to display all the options at once, not one at a time. and im pretty sure there is a con_dvar for it.

.NINK.
Can’t trickshot me!
Sounds like you are having a problem with the menu build.
Post the script for the Main Menu part of your patch.
