[REL] n Screens, or pushing PA pips to their limits and beyond

I don't think so.
Works fine even with all my modding hackery.

I'm amused, because "a gallery of pictures" would describe my framerate if I used this mod...

I can't actually play a game using it, but it isn't entirely a slideshow for me.

This is what we'll be getting down the line and I can't wait.

However... I can't run this. :-(

Bad performance, bugs, or just no second screen?

I just know that my framerate would be too stinkin low.

I have troubles with my framerate as it is. I can't get my APM above 60 due to framerate. As the game drags on I often have to wait a second or two or more inbetween each click to make sure that it actually registered. :-(

Autoit website down so finding it's a pain.

Cnet and Softonic have it though, was disapointed by filehippo this time 'round

OH MY FU KING GOD I LOVE THIS MOD!!!!!

So going even further down the "let's kill performance to fix bugs" line I found a fix for the icons that would in theory work.
n screens config for my 3 screens:

Code:

    // this is where the UI ends up
    main: "top: 0px; left: 1280px; width: 1920px; height: 1080px;",
   
    // this is the size of the primary holodeck
    mainHolodeck: "top: 0px; left: 1280px; width: 1920px; height: 1080px;",// make sure to end in ;
   
// note the super sized holodecks, those are the hack holodecks
    views: [
        "top: 0px; left: 3200px; width: 9280px; height: 9024px;",
        "top: 0px; right: 0px; width: 1280px; height: 1024px;",
        "top: 0px; right: 3200px; width: 9280px; height: 9024px;",
        "top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 1280px; height: 1024px;",
    ],
// we place the hacks ourselfs, so n screen has not to do it for us
    hackForIndex: [], 
    pipIndex: 0,

so basically I abuse the fact that if the hack holodeck is bigger the icons get smaller.
Given a graphicscard from 10 years in the future we could probably go to a size where the icons are smaller than 1x1 and thus invisible.

This is what above config gives me:

If only I had more than 10 fps...

okay so i followed the instructions and for some reason when i have the game in windowed mode and try to execute the file im getting this error
Script: Global.js
Line: 29
char: 1
error: expected ;identifier,string or number
code: 800a0404
source: Microsoft Jscript compiler

need advisement

execute what file? the auto it script?
Reads like you made a syntax error.
Check how you changed the numbers in the script.

That looks like a syntax error, but I also don't know where this Microsoft JScript compiler is coming from. Doesn't webkit have its own Javascript JIT compiler?

The 'execute the script' bit looks worrysome. It looks like you tried to run it from the command line or something and windows picked a compiler for you. You are supposed to be installing the mod into PA's mods directory and letting the game load the script.

Also, keep in mind that this is all very experimental and I wouldn't recommend trying to play a competitive game with it just yet. Compatibility with other mods is pretty good, but this does kill your framerate and there is still the icon bug.

Yeah, chromium (which coherent UI is based off of) actually has it's own custom, optimized JS engine.

Awesome mod Cola_Colin!, I've been messing around with it and I want to share my results. I'm using two monitors: 1440*900 the left one and 1920*1080 the right one (this is the main one) and with all the test I used 'ubber' preset in video config.
I can play with two different configs, the first one:

Code:

var nScreens = {
 main: "top: 0px; left: 1440px; width: 1920px; height: 1080px;",
 mainHolodeck: "top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 4800px; height: 1080px;",
  
 views: [
       "top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 1440px; height: 900px;",
     ],
         hackForIndex: [1],
         pipIndex: 0,
};

with these I can play with good performance (60+ fps), but the main screen is extra zoomed (which is expected since it's 4800*1080 center viewed)

Second config:

Code:

var nScreens = {
 main: "top: 0px; left: 1440px; width: 1920px; height: 1080px;",
 mainHolodeck: "top: 0px; left: 1440px; width: 1920px; height: 1080px;",
  
 views: [
       "top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 1440px; height: 900px;",
     ],
         hackForIndex: [0],
         pipIndex: 0,
};

With this one I can play without zoomed version of the main screen, but after the lobby, as soon as the planet(s) spawn, the fps drops to 1... but it can be fixed if I close the game (alt+f4) and re-connect. Then the fps rise again to 60+
Any clue how to play with the second config without needing a re-connect at the beginning of the game? Thanks in advance

Odd that the fps comes back after a reconnect.. What happens if you just press F5 instead?

It reloads, but no fps change. Also point that with both configs, opening in-game settings menu, make fps drops to 1 (after come back to game), and they won't increase until re-connect. Easy fix not entering that menu during game-play, but could be related with the other issue, and the info could help...

but thats the thing i have no idea what i did wrong

Well what did you do?
Double click global.js?

Pretty please a Gamma release
the UI for hosting games stretches across the screens and the button for 'create game' is unclickable.
I imagine once in game the rest still works.

You may send me a time machine or a not super unhealthy way to get rid of the need for sleep.
I have not even looked at this so far.
