Ok Guino and Mitch are working together to integrate Mitch's changes, and they are fixing the indicators. From what I am told ALL PLUGINS will need to be modded slightly.

Here is an email I received from Mitch explaining it:

Code:

“ReturnIndicatorEx” is now in play
BASICLY the default RETURN MUST BE “”
DO NOT RETURN “FALSE”

'EXAMPLE
Public Function ReturnIndicatorEx(IND As String) As String

    'Default (No Action)
    'ONLY return something else IF AND ONLY IF you process that code
    ReturnIndicatorEx = ""

    Select Case LCase(IND)
        Case "myindicator"
            'This example show ON for even seconds and OFF otherwise
            ReturnIndicatorEx = IIf(Val(Format(Time, "SS")) Mod 2 = 0, "C:\VBStuff\Road Runner\XMArt\1.gif", "")

'Specify whatever and whichever indicators you wish to create
'You can add as many as you'd like, and you can process complex indicators as long
'as you parse them yourself (i.e. "mycomplexindicator;parameter")

        'Case "myindicator2"
            'Insert Code here to return "True", "False" or Path name
        End Select

I can explain more, we did fix it in “ReturnIndicator”, so if u just return “” indicators will work

Enforcer, You've got PM!

How fast can a slider react to the variable values. This maybe the problem.

**ThunderStick** · 09-08-2008, 11:09 PM

I just put a slider in to my speed limit script and it seems to work perfect it is using the variable type slider, and it updates the slider with every loop of the script. I tried getting it to update the slider through out the script but I dont think the slider reacts as fast as it was sending the variable.
is this right or wrong...?

Sound about correct as seeing that rr only draws the scn once per second.

**JohnWPB** · 09-09-2008, 05:18 AM

That does not seem to be the issue. When I tried the 12/05 build as enforcer said, the gas slider worked fine. It is just the internal code in teh source that got boloxed somewhere..... yikes think I have been talking to enforcer too much!

Why the need for a different sub ReturnIndicatorEx, why not just fix the existing one?

Oh, and I can see a lot of plugins won't be changed

About as often as it updates the screen (1 sec)

So are Mitch and Guino working of fixing what G broke?

NB Bollox'd would have been the way I would have said it. Your way looks like it is Terrannified.

Or did you mean Hollywoodified : Botoxed

**Enforcer** · 09-09-2008, 08:10 AM

BTW John, you didn't answer my slider question.

**JohnWPB** · 09-09-2008, 10:16 AM

Ok, Ok, you got me, we don't use the term Bollox'd here, so I had no idea how to spell it

Ummmm sorry that's a little vague, exactly which slider question are you referring to? I don't see one that I missed......

because just sticking CMD = "SETVAR;rrgas;" & CStr(pslider) where the pslider code gets changed will do nothing.

Sticking it in the slider part of the plugin code, will also do nothing.

That one.
