aircraft.livery and aircraft.livery_update are now only
wrappers for more generic classes, which one can also
use directly instead. They allow to manage more than just
livery XML files. One could allow users to choose a
livery, seat covers, flight attendant uniforms, ... :-)
each of them separately and like liveries are handled
now.
Instead of aircraft.livery.init, one writes something
like this:
var foo_dialog = gui.OverlaySelector.new(
"Select Foo", # title of selection dialog
"Aircraft/xy/Models/Foo", # directory with XML files
"sim/model/foo/name"); # property for name entries
In bindings one can then use
xy.foo_dialog.open(); # for the menu
xy.foo_dialog.toggle(); # for key bindings
xy.foo_dialog.close(); # for ... no idea :-)
If one wants to send the choice over MP, then one has to
assign an MP property (which needs to get created in the
*-set.xml file -- otherwise MP won't send it):
var foo_dialog = gui.OverlaySelector.new(
"Select Foo", # title of selection dialog
"Aircraft/xy/Models/Foo", # directory with XML files
"sim/model/foo/name", # property for name entries
nil, # (sort dialog entries by name)
"sim/multiplay/generic/string");# use this property for MP
In the model XML file one uses instead of aircraft.livery_update:
<load>
var update = aircraft.overlay_update.new();
update.add("Aircraft/xy/Models/Liveries", "sim/model/livery/file");
update.add("Aircraft/xy/Models/Foo", "sim/multiplay/generic/string");
</load>
<unload>
update.stop();
</unload>
Each of the update.add() does also take an optional callback
function as third argument. This is then called whenever that
property got changed.
Maybe we should throw out aircraft.livery(_update) and convert
everything to the generic method now. Don't know yet ...
