Re-ally after death

[Duck_42]

Since Phantom-X does not automatically re-ally after death, sometimes players end up not being able to see what's going on in the game due to lack of allies. For those of you who wish to observe a game after you die, the following console command will bring up the diplomacy window.

Code: Select all

UI_Lua import("/lua/ui/game/tabs.lua").BuildContent("diplomacy")

Mead,

The following code should change the UI behavior so that the diplomacy button is not disabled after death.

Create /phantomxhook/lua/ui/game/tabs.lua with the following code

Code: Select all

local POriginalOnGameOver = OnGameOver
function OnGameOver()
   POriginalOnGameOver()
    --Re-enable diplomacy tab after death.
    --This way, players will be able to re-ally
    for i, tab in controls.tabs do
        if tab.Data.content == 'diplomacy' and SessionIsMultiplayer() then
            tab:Enable()
        end
    end
end

Added; will go live with the next version.

Edit: Ok, this does not work. Upped it to FAF, game is unresponsive from start on. Removed the file again.

Not sure what the problem would be. I tested it in a UI mod with no problems. I've attached a copy of my tabs.lua in case the problem was a file issue.
