Screen model replacement.

EDIT: Non-CS plasmas and fixed oscilloscope!



Okay, I thought I best move this to the Lua coding forum.

I'm trying to change the CS plasma screen model to the PHX plasma screen model for various wire screens. The "big" wire screen is pretty small.

Here's one problem:
http://www.wiremod.com/forum/58848-post12.html

Another problem is with the normal screens (the ones that just show a value), I can't find where the models part of the code is.

local MaxTextLength = 20
function TOOL.BuildCPanel(panel)
	WireToolHelpers.MakePresetControl(panel, "wire_screen")
	
	panel:AddControl("ComboBox", {
		Label = "#WireThrusterTool_Model",
		Options = {
			["#Small tv"]		= { wire_screen_model = "models/props_lab/monitor01b.mdl" },
			["#Plasma tv"]		= { wire_screen_model = "models/prop_phx/sp_screen.mdl" },
			["#LCD monitor"]	= { wire_screen_model = "models/props/cs_office/computer_monitor.mdl" },
			["#Monitor Big"]	= { wire_screen_model = "models/kobilica/wiremonitorbig.mdl" },
			["#Monitor Small"]	= { wire_screen_model = "models/kobilica/wiremonitorsmall.mdl" },
		}
	})

	panel:AddControl( "PropSelect", {
		Label = "#WireThrusterTool_Model",
		ConVar = "wire_screen_model",
		Category = "",
		Models = list.Get( "WireScreenModels" ),
		Height = 2
	})

The bit listing all the different models for screens is just for the model selection menu in the tool menu I think. I think the models that are spawned are in the list "WireScreenModels".

	panel:AddControl( "PropSelect", {
		Label = "#WireThrusterTool_Model",
		ConVar = "wire_screen_model",
		Category = "",
		Models = list.Get( "WireScreenModels" ),
		Height = 2
	})

That bit. Would appreciate help.

You'd have to do call list.Set to add your new screen to the WireScreenModels list. And then you'd have to worry about the sizes, etc., but I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Well according to somebody on the old ideas thread, the PHX plasma screen is the same model as from CS:S, so sizes shouldn't be a problem. Offset is though. Hm.
I'll have to check list.Set on the Wiki. Thanks!

EDIT: Actually, it'd probably be more useful to know where the WireScreenModels list is kept. I haven't been able to find it.

Thanks, that first bit was what I couldn't find.
