EZBoards - Generate kneeboards (flights, comms, stpts, weather) from briefings
-
Guys, for those of you wanting to get two different images for the left (briefing-left.png) and right (briefing-right.png) pages of the board, for example for import to OpenKneeboards, you might want to add these lines to EZBOARD.BAT, between Step 2 and Step 3.
It will be included (but commented out) in a subsequent update.REM /// Step 2B: Render the left and right pages REM /// to a different png file, e.g. for use with OpenKneeboards. bin\wkhtmltoimage.exe --width 1024 --height 1554 --disable-smart-width --enable-local-file-access briefing.html briefing-left.png IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 GOTO ERROR bin\wkhtmltoimage.exe --width 2048 --height 1554 --crop-w 1024 --crop-x 1024 --disable-smart-width --enable-local-file-access briefing.html briefing-right.png IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 GOTO ERROR

@Logic
Hi Logic, I wonder if you’d mine letting me know where you extracted the highlighted data from, I can’t find it any where. -
@linknet It’s not extracted, but constant.
The 11 etc are the datalink ship positions according to flight and ship number.
The yardstick channels are the recommended settings from the documentation, but nobody is required to follow them. -

@Logic What directory do I find the separated briefing-left.png and briefing-right.png?
-
@jc1 Same as the combined one, in the directory where you put EZBoards.
-
@Logic Thanks a lot.

Good morning
It seems the ODS brief is copied in Korea folder, nor Mideast foloder

Yes.
Thank you!

@Logic Why this error?
Edit: Problem went away after I shut down WDP. -

Trying to use this I get a “System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key “Package Elements:” x = Primary Flight, was not present in this dictionary”.
Any ideas ?
This issue is happening again. And I think only in Baltic Theatre, so may not be EZBoards - but I wouldn’t know how to confirm that.
This lines formatting has changed - this errors:
Package Elements: x = Primary Flight
but if I edit to:
Package Elements: x = Primary Flight
it works. Basically, I insert an extra space after the
:
and after thex
I’m running V12.

@CriticalMass
Thanks for reporting. I can confirm that I do not have this issue in KTO. I’m at loss why this would be theater-dependent. Probably best talking about it with Max Waldorf, the maintainer of Baltic? -

Probably best talking about it with Max Waldorf, the maintainer of Baltic?I posted a workaround on the FL Discord. The HTML editor here won’t let me create a string with multiple spaces.

I’m trying to edit the “Theatres” txt file to use EZBoards with Baltic theatre, however I’m not sure if I’m doing the right thing as I can’t find Koreaobj in the Baltic theatre path… anyone care to help ?
-
@Itarrow If there’s no KoreaObj folder under the theatre folder (…\Data\Add-On Baltic\Terrdata\objects), it uses the default one from KTO (…\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj) (unless the objects parameter in the .tdf file for the theatre explicitly points to another one which exists. This is not the case for the Baltic I believe).
-
@Fish44 thanks for you reply: so what I should write on the “Theatres.txt” confit file of EZBoard ? Should I write there the path of the Baltic Theatre terrdata folder or simply not write anything, and therefore have EZBoard looking into the default KTO folder ?
Thanks again for your reply !
-
@CriticalMass can you post the workaround also here or a link ? Sorry but I’m not using Discord and I’m trying to setup EXBoards with Baltic Theatre, however I keep getting this same error…
[EDIT: a simple update of the Baltic Theatre through the Theatre Updater tool got rid of the issue. Thanks all for your patience anyway]

Hi @MnMailman ,
did you figure it out? What does it say on the console? What theater are you using?
