Title: Damned espresso maker and its obsession
Post by: Marhis on 2007 January 13, 22:44:31
I've made a hack for coffee and espresso makers, which enables their use on tables and end tables (now it's only on counters). The hack itself works, but it has a conflict with noautonomousespresso by Squinge (i.e. the the espresso obsession happens). So, I've managed to add a no autonomy to my hack, incorporating a pie menu resource with autonomy setting to 0x0064, and it works.

Well, the hack itself is working, but I'm a pest perfectionist :P. I tried to apply the Squinge modification on my hack, but it give me an error, and honestly I don't understand why, 'cause the mods I did seems unrelated.

For some reasons, I'm not sure that my solution (adding a modified pie menu to the package) is the best choice, and Squinge mod seems a better solution to me (heh, at least is "cleaner" and linear).
May anyone, with better knowledge base than mine, take a look at my crap and tell me where I made the mistake? It's driving me insane.

marhis_espresso_multiplace_noauto.zip is my working hack, with pie menu; marhis_espresso_multiplace_noauto-squinge.zip is my hack with squinge modification tried, and the error happens when mouse over the espresso maker.

Upgrade: I've checked some other hacks - by other modders - and I've seen that putting a modded pie menu in them is widely used anyway, and it doesn't seems to be a Bad Thing™.

In the end, I've upped my version, on MTS2. After all, it seems to work well anyway. If it needs improving, I may always revise it later.
