EZ Boards not working with 4.36
-
Re: EZBoards - Instant single-click briefing to kneeboards conversion
I cannot get EZboards to work with BMS 4.36 and assume it is not compatable .
-
@Paulg-0 Looks like the BASEDIR is hardcoded in EZBOARDS.bat. If you are comfortable editing it, you could fix it yourself…I think
-
@CriticalMass Ya. I’ve yet to try it, but I think updating the references in the EZBoards.bat and EZWatch.bat (if you use it) from 4.35 to 4.36 should work. I checked the registry entry for 4.36 and it’s in the same location with the same text as previous. The EZboards bat files says that it’ll need updating for each BMS revision so clearly it’s meant to be modified.

@GlasgowJets
Edited Bat notepad as below from 4.35 to 4.36 I just get an error message :-FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%A IN (‘REG QUERY “HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.36” /v baseDir’) DO SET BASEDIR=%%B
ECHO BASEDIR=%BASEDIR%FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%A IN (‘REG QUERY “HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.36” /v PilotCallsign’) DO SET PILOTBIN=%%B
ECHO PILOTBIN=%PILOTBIN%REM ///FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%A IN (‘REG QUERY “HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.36” /v curTheater’) DO SET THEATER=%%B
REM ///ECHO THEATER=%THEATER% -
New version of EZBoards v8 has been released which works with 4.36

@Paulg-0 Got it, cheers.

Trying to amend the Bat for another theater.
Does this look right?
REM /// We try to find the right path to the active theater.
REM /// This might not work for every theater.
REM /// When in doubt, ask the theater author or the community.
IF “%THEATER%”==“Add-on Baltic” (
SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
) ELSE (
IF EXIST %BASEDIR%\Data\Add-On Baltic\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj\ (
SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\Add-On Baltic\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
ELSE (
SET THEATERPATH=%BASEDIR%\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
)
)SET TARGET=“%THEATERPATH%%TARGETFILE%”
ECHO TARGET=%TARGET%
IF NOT EXIST %TARGET% (
ECHO [91mTarget file doesn’t exist. Check theater.[0m
GOTO ERROR
)Any advice gratefully received

Hi,
First of all, did it not work out of the box?
What does the output line THEATER=
say? (When you run it)(You might have wanted posting this into the official EzBoards thread.)
-
@Logic Yes it works for KTO - I was trying to produce a version for each of my other installed Theatres - will try the suggestion thanks. Couldn’t see an official thread but will look again.
-
@chrisreb I mean it ought to work for most other theaters out of the box as well. So just asking if you even tried it with Baltic?
Meantime I’ll try ask the Baltic devs where they put the file in case it differs.
