Re: wETS2G19Display : G19 LCD

[ohaha]

well, I don't know how is this supposed to work, but...

I copied your dll into a newly created folder, called plugins, in bin/win_x86, in ETS2 installation folder.
I went to that Logitech link and downloaded things.. and installed them and.. there is no LCDMon...
I ran the game once and noticed I get that message about using sdk features... and noticed nothing else changing...
Oh, well, I said to myself, it's not working. I'll have to ask the nice developer for help...
Then, after fiddling with a skin, I started the game, again, to test it... and Boom! There it was! In the upper left corner of my other monitor! And it's working! That is so cool!

Question is.. do I still need this Logitech software thingy? since there is no LCDMon...


Anyway, thanks a bunch! this is super!

Hi,

Logitech applications which come with the LCD are needed to use the LCD display.

People who have a logitech keyboard, don't need to install additional stuff...
People who have several monitors... don't need logitech stuff neither...

So, yes, you can uninstall all logitech stuff you have installed especially for my plugin...

FYI, if you haven't noticed yet... you can switch the display with a right click on this window (alt tab, right click, return to game, ...) this is not as handy as with the G19 keyboard with has dedicated keys, but it can do the job

Yes, I noticed. It's quite cool. Though, after a few clicks I get my whole (other) screen in there

Another thing I noticed is this, in my log:

It's displayed in red, in the console, but doesn't seem to have any adverse effect. Thought I'd let you know.

Cheers and thanks again for this cool toy!

Another thing I noticed is this, in my log [...]

New version uploaded.. normally, you shouldn't see anymore red messages...

[ohaha]

Thx, mate!

[ohaha]

Just a note:
I uninstalled Logitech Gaming Software and the game slapped me with "Couldn't load LgLCDApi.dll" or something similar and I had to kill the game from task manager. So, I put it back. But it doesn't need the Logitech Software running, just that dll...

[Whiler]

"Couldn't load LgLCDApi.dll"

Is it the exact message?

or is it 1, 2 or 3? or sth. else?

1. lglcd: Unable to get LgLcdApi library path!
2. lglcd: Unable to load LgLcdApi!
3. lglcd: Unable to get "GetInterface" function address!

Regarding your error, I have uploaded another version... if you can try it and let me know the exact message, it will be great.

Cheers,

  W.

[ohaha]

Good question!

I think it's no. 2
Also, after closing that, I got another dialog saying Runtime error 125 at ... or something...
I was in the middle of testing a mod so I didn't pay too much attention. Sorry.

New version uploaded:

• Fuel light improved
• LgLCDApi.dll usage updated (let's hope the DLL is not anymore required for users who only want to display the screen on a second monitor
