Is DCS broken? I can't get it to report anything.

I wanna list a long list of majors (lots of them on colored armor), so using this like I used to would be great but its not working to well for me.

Is it broken for everyone or am I doing something wrong?

It does not display diforsa armor. It gives the color codes but it does not show the color or the name of the color. I downloaded the latest version of DCS and the latest .xml file.

I get ALOT of unknowns. I tried @dcs download, then @dcs save. But still a bunch of unknown colors. I thought that would work. Am I possibly missing something?

I'm running the latest version with the xml as well. Leather armour does not show a colour either. Evidently some pieces still are "reporting" their colour as "snow white" when in fact, white no longer exists on amuli sad

I've noted that when you press one of the buttons for a colour output - what used to show in the chat window no longer does. Should it be giving us this output?

There are still alot of unknown colors. I haven't really played the game in quite some time, so I haven't been able to pull out colors, find thier ID, and the palette information for many of them. When I get a chance, I'll try and get a list of at least some of the unknown colors, and we'll have a color naming post again. Hopefully in the next few weeks.

I have been looking at why some items don't display any data, but have not found any good reason as to why. This is still under investigation.

OK, I believe that I have found why some armor no longer displays any data, and a possible resolution to that issue.

If all goes well with initial testing, I should have a new version up by Monday evening.

There are still a LOT of unknown colors, for which I'll be trying to get a bunch together for another 'name that color' post, hopefully in the next few weeks.

I'm going to bed now, so I can take a nap before the games come on.

I found some other things that aren't working, so no new version tonight.
Maybe by the weekend.

Working on it still.
Last week, and the weekend were overly interrupted by RL unfortunately. I haven't had the time to finish fixing the other non-working things.

Wolf,

Np..I understand completely and I appreciate you working on it.

Just let me know when you want me over your house and I will help you out with the coding. If you are not in the Boston area it may take me a little time to book airfare. You just let me know. wink

Unfortunately, I'm not in the Boston area...I'm all the way across the country in the Seattle area.

I did however make some progress last night, but due to changes in AC (IE coverage masks, etc), much of the original code is basicly useless.

If I am estimating correctly, I am probably about half way done with re-writing the code itself, and have pulled out some more color palettes from the client, so once the plugin is functional again, I can work on adding some more of the 'Unknown' colors.

I like my icon too happy
It actually is one that I submitted, and it got accepted, so I used it.

Now if I could only get a title....The Big Bad W-O-L-F

The rumor is that Little Red has boycotted that title on the grounds that it causes her duress and mental anguish. Not to mention that you will probably need to pay Disney royalties. wink

GL, and I can not wait until DCS is fixed and running. I have a ton of armor to match up. wink

Don't even worry about it friend. Your family comes first. I will pray for your little girl.

Thanks Duri, it is appreciated.

As for DCS, I have made some good progress tonight, and unless some new bugs are found, this version is code complete except for adding more colors to the dcs.xml file. There are tons of unknown colors (overall, there are about 15,000 color palettes, of which only around 500 are currently in the dcs.xml file, thankfully, all of them are not used by armor and clothing), so as I have time this week, I'll be adding some of the unknown colors to the xml, and hopefully I'll get a test version up for a few people to play with before she goes in for her surgery later this week.

If there is anyone who is interested in testing this version before it goes public, please send me a PM to let me know. I probably won't give it to everyone, but at least 5-10 people will get the pre-release to test (if i get that many volunteers that is).

There will be no new features with this version, as it was a complete re-write instead of just a quick 'hack' to get it working again. Decal has changed quite a lot since ASCUS released his last version. All references to the Decal .interops have been removed, and it is completely dependent on the Decal.Adapter and the managed .net wrappers so it should now be MUCH easier to maintain.

I found another bug last night, hopefully if I can get time to work on it tonight, I'll PM a few people with a private drop for testing late tonight.
